"By a grace of the Senate of the University of Cambridge, it was decreed last year,
that the Holy Scriptures and the Evidences of Christianity should assume a more
important place than formerly in the 'Previous Examination.' The object of the
present publication is to furnish the academical student with an edition of Paley's
Evidences of Christianity, suited to the requirements of the examination as amended.
The Editor has judiciously added the 'Horse Paulinse' as forming one of the most
important branches of the auxiliary evidences. He has added many valuable notes
in illustration and amplification of Paley's argument,- and prefixed an excellent
analysis or abstract of the whole work, which will be of great service in fixing the
points of this masterly argument on the mind of the reader. Mr. Potts' is the most
complete and useful edition yet published."-Eclectic Review.
" As an edition of Paley's text, the book has all the excellence which might be
expected from a production of the Cambridge University Press, under the care of so
competent an editor; but-we do not hesitate to aver that Mr. Potts has doubled the
value of the work by his highly important Preface, in which a clear and impressive
picture is drawn of the present unsettled state of opinion as to the very foundations
of our faith, and the increased necessity for the old science of ' Evidences' is well
expounded by his masterly analyses of Paley's two works-by his excellent notes,
which consist chiefly of the full text of the passages cited by Paley, and of extracts
from the best modern writers on the 'Evidences,' illustrative or corrective of
Paley's statements,-and by the Examination Papers, in which the thoughtful
student will find many a suggestion of the greatest importance. We feel that this
ought to be henceforth the standard edition of the 'Evidences' and 'Hors.'Biblieal Review.
"The theological student will find this an invaluable volume. In addition to
the text there are copious notes, indicative of laborious and useful research; an
analysis of great ability and correctness.; and a selection from the Senate-House
and College Examination Papers, by which great help is given as to what to study and
how to study it. There is nothing wanting to make this book perfect."-Churchl and
State Gazette.
" The scope and contents of this new edition of Paley are pretty well expressed
in the title. The object of Mr. Potts is to furnish the collegian with a help towards
the more stringent examination in theology that is to take place in the year 1851.
The analysis is intended as a guide to studentsnot accustomed to abstract their reading, as well as an assistance to the mastery of Paley; the notes consist of original
passages referred to in the text, with illustrative observations by the editor; the
questions have been selected from the Examinations for the last thirty years. It is an
useful edition."- Spectator.
" Attaching, as we do, so vast a value to evidences of this nature, Mr. Potts'
edition of Paley's most excellent work is hailed with no ordinary welcome-not that
it almost, but that it filly answers the praiseworthy purpose for which it has been
issued. In whatever light we view its importance-by whatever standard we measure
its excellences-its intrinsic value is equally manifest. No man could be found more
fitly qualified for the arduous task of reproducing, in an attainable form and in an intelligible dress, the work he undertook to edit, than Mr. Potts. By an industry
and patience, by a skill and carefulness of no common kind, by an erudition of a
high order, he has made 'Paley's Evidences' (a work remarkable no less for its sound
reasoning than its admirable perspicuity) adapted to the Christian student's every requirement in the sphere it enters on. To these 'Evidences' the ' Horne Paulinse' has
been added, inasmuch (we quote from the preface) 'as it forms one of the most important branches of the auxiliary evidences of Christianity.' It is further added'To the intelligent student, no apology will be necessary for bringing here before
him in connexion with the " Evidences" the " Horse Paulinse"-a work which consists
of an accumulation of circumstantial evidence elicited from St. Paul's Epistles and the
Acts with no ordinary skill and judgment; and exhibited in a pellucid style as far
removed from the unnatural as from the non-natural employment of language.'
"Without this volume the library of any Christian iMan is incomplete. No commendation can be more emphatic nor more just."-Church of England Quarterly
Review.
