Excerpt from Twelve Lectures on the Connexion Between Science and Revealed Religion: Delivered in Rome
In the following Lectures, the reader will hardly fail to observe a certain want of harmony between the different parts; and I know not how I can better apologize for it, than by briefly stating the manner and occasion of their composition. They were first drawn up for private instruction, and read by me in the English College at Rome, over which I had the happiness of presiding; being intended for an introductory course to the study of theology. At the request of several friends, I was induced to deliver them to a public audience; and, during the Lent of 1835, they were read to a large and select attendance, in the apartments of His Eminence Cardinal Weld.
It will be easily understood how many modifications were requisite for the second delivery; particularly as I pledged myself in my prospectus to simplify my subjects, so far as to make them intelligible to persons who had no previous acquaintance with them.
