Excerpt from Theism the Witness of Reason and Nature to an All-Wise and Beneficent Creator
The circumstances in which this Essay originated are probably familiar to many. It has been thought proper, however, briefly to state them here.
Mr Burnett, a merchant in Aberdeen, whose character appears to have been marked by a rare degree of Christian sensibility and benevolence, amongst other acts of liberality, bequeathed certain sums, to be expended at intervals of forty years, in the shape of two Premiums, inviting to the discussion of the evidences of religious truth, and especially to the consideration and confirmation of the attributes of Divine Wisdom and Goodness.
