Excerpt from The Future States: Their Evidence and Nature Considered on Principles Physical Moral and Scriptural
My Lord,
I have much satisfaction in at length availing myself of the permission granted me, to dedicate this work to Your Grace.
I am glad to bring my protracted labours to a close, and for the present dismiss a subject which has often occupied my thoughts for ten years past, and my pen for more than seven. I am glad also to have this opportunity of expressing my gratitude for the kindness and encouragement to which, under Divine providence, I in great measure owe my ordination to the ministry ; and which has continued to attend me since. And I may be permitted here to thank Your Grace also for having so kindly consented to inspect some of the earlier parts of my book, before I had it in contemplation to enter into holy orders. The measure of approbation which it then received induces me to hope that it will, upon the whole, be approved of now that it is completed ; although on some material points I am ignorant of Your Grace"s sentiments, and have, as I am well aware, gone beyond them upon others.
