ADVERTISEMENT.

THE present edition of the Works of Paley was intended to combine together, in one handsome volume, all the published labours of that great man-uniting closeness of arrangement with clearness and beauty of type. This Edition is also furnished with copious Notes, marking, for instance, the discoveries of science, illustrative of the existence of a Divine Contriver, or Creator, which have been made since Paley produced his immortal "Natural Theology;" and Biographical Sketches of those of the Author's friends who patronized or assisted him, or whose works he has quoted, have been added; the Editor being anxious that nothing should be omitted which would render the volume more acceptable to the Public.

October, 1849.
