      SOME REMAINS

      (hitherto unpublished)

      of

      JOSEPH BUTLER, LL.D.

      sometime

      LORD BISHOP OF DURHAM.

      "I am more indebted to his writings than to those of any other uninspired writer, for the insight which I have been enabled to attain into the motives of the Divine Economy and the grounds of moral obligation."

      From a Letter of the late Bishop Kaye, of Lincoln.

      LONDON:

      RIVINGTONS, WATERLOO PLACE.

      1853.

      LONDON:

      gilbert and rivington, printers,

      st. john’s square

      PREFACE.

      It has long been a subject of regret that we should have so few remains of so great a writer as the author of the Analogy, not only the greatest thinker of his day, but one almost equally remarkable for his personal religion and amiability.

      The few fragments and letters which remain unpublished, derive from this circumstance a value wholly incommensurate with their extent, though, as to the few I have been able to recover, they seem to me worthy of notice even for their own sake.

      There can, I suppose, be no doubt but that many letters on subjects connected with their common pursuit,—the defence of religion by rational arguments,—must have passed between Dr. Clarke and the Gentleman in Gloucestershire, even up to the time of the former’s decease; and the specimen I am now able to exhibit certainly excites a wish that one could recover more of a series which it is most likely that Dr. Clarke at least carefully preserved.  The three letters now printed were all addressed to Dr. Clarke; the first and last, though little known, were published many years ago in the European Magazine.

      The second and third Fragments are printed as they were written, having apparently been noted down from time to time as the ideas occurred to their author; thus at the end of the first paragraph of the third Fragment, the word direction was originally written advice, but was subsequently altered in a different ink, being the same with that in which the sentences immediately following were written.  I have not thought myself at liberty to make any attempt to reduce these Fragments to better consistency; indeed, their present disordered state seems to me rather to add to their interest, as showing the mode in
