Understanding, however, that the Booksellers had it in contemplation to publish The Apology for Christianity, and The Apology for the Bible, in one octavo volume, from the expectation of its becoming what they call a standard work, I have thought it might be useful to subjoin to the Apologies two Sermons, and a Charge, originally published in Defence of Revealed Religion in 1795. CALGARTH PARK, R. L. The favorable manner in which the former edition was received by the Public, has induced the proprietors to print a new edition, in which a few errors of the press are corrected.

May, 1820. |
