Excerpt from Paganism and Christianity: Compared in a Course of Lectures to the King's Scholars, at Westminster, in the Years 1806-7-8

The second part is employed in discussing the opinions of the Pagans concerning the Worship of a Deity, and the pursuit of Happiness, as it was prescribed by the Philosophical sects. It maybe termed a view of mythological and mo ral notions, as they are opposed to the overlast ing promises of the Gospel and it contains an examination of some of the more eminent Sys tems of Theology, and the Summum Bonum, which prevailed in the Heathen world.
