Excerpt from On Nature and Grace, Vol. 1 It will be readily understood then, how truly grateful I shall be for any suggestions, in regard to the future conduct of the work and still more, for any masses or prayers, which kind friends may be disposed to offer in its behalf. I have retained the form of Lectures through out, and have addressed my various remarks to an imaginary audience of pupils. One chief reason for this, has been my desire of thereby rendering my style less dull and heavy than it naturally is. The same desire has led me, in various places, to be much more frequent in the use of Italics, than is (i fear) really conducive to the very purpose at which I aimed. I beg my readers particularly to observe the Appendix to Chapter I., printed at the end of the volume. The propositions, for which I argue in the First Chapter, cannot be understood as I mean them, except by being taken in connection with what I have said in the Appendix.
