This is a pre-1923 historical reproduction that was curated for quality. Quality assurance was conducted on each of these books in an attempt to remove books with imperfections introduced by the digitization process.

We believe this work is culturally important and have elected to bring the book back into print as part of our cont...

Excerpt from Edward III The reign of Edward III. was long, and crowded with events: little more than a sketch of it in its inner and outer aspects is to be looked for in a book like this, which, moreover, professes only to reproduce and epitomize what has been already brought to light by the original research of others. It may be well, therefore, to mention the names of a few out of many writers whose works should be studied by any who wish t...

Excerpt from The Divine Legation of Moses Demonstrated, Vol. 2 of 3 I have now gone through the second general proposition, which is, That all mankind, especially the most wise and learned nations of Antiquity, have concurred in believing, and teaching, that the doctrine of a future state of rewards and punishments was necessary to the well-being of society.

Excerpt from A Dissertation on the Sixth Book of Virgil's Æneis Virgil found the epic poem in the first rank of human compositions, but this was too narrow a foundation for his enlarged ambition: He was not content that its subject should be to instruct the world in morals, much less did he think of physics, though he was fond of natural enquiries, and Homer's allegories had opened a back-door to let in the philosopher with the poet, but he a...

Excerpt from The Divine Legation of Moses Demonstrated, Vol. 1 of 3Sect. VL - The atheistical pretence of religion's being an invention of statesmen, and therefore false, clearly minted, and shown to be both impertinent and false. For that, were the atheist's account of religion right, it would not follow that religion was false. But the contrary. But the pretence false and groundless, religion having existed before the civil magistrate was in...
