Book excerpt: Excerpt from On the Whole Doctrine of Final Causes, Vol. 3: A Dissertation in Three Parts, With an Introductory Chapter on the Character of Modern Deism So little attention is ordinarily paid to what an Author says of his own performance, that a Preface is now almost thought to be a superfluous piece of labour. But for the sake of those who may yet consider it as a courtesy due to the Reader, as well as for my own sake, I shall venture to trespass for a few lines. It may appear to many, that the phrase "Whole Doctrine," used in the Title-page, requires some explanation; which, I own, I have difficulty in briefly giving; though on a general review of the Dissertation, I cannot persuade myself to alter it.
