Excerpt from The Works of William Paley, D.D, Vol. 1 of 4: And an Account of the Life and Writing of the Author
IT may be deemed, if not the duty, yet often the interest, of an editor or a biographer to keep himself out of sight but I may seem so obviously chargeable with an affectation of delicacy and scrupulosity if I pretend to only a silent concern in this edition, that it can scarcely be expected I should not avail myself of a few words to explain the design with which it is sent out of my hands.
