Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Essay in Refutation of Atheism It is not without some misgiving 'that I present the following essay to the public; not, indeed, because I have any lack of confidence in the soundness of its principles, or the combined analytical and synthetic pro cesses by which I attempt to demonstrate the existence of God, the fact of creation, providence, the moral law, and the ground of man's moral Obligation to worship God; but from a consciousness of my inability to do justice to the great thesis I have undertaken to defend, and my dis trust of the disposition of the public to receive and read with patience what is most likely to be treated as a metaphysical disquisition, and therefore as worthless. Nobody now reads metaphysical works. Or any works that pertain to the higher philosophy, and especially such as attempt to vindicate theology as the science of sciences.
