Excerpt from Physical Theory of Another Life In its bearing upon his own literary projefis and engagements, the author has felt, every day with frefh force, that the revolution of public feeling to which he has alluded mufi render the profecution of the plan he had devifed, and which he has announced, and in part executed, peculiarly difficult, if not impraeticable; as well as hopelefs of a beneficial iflue. The fubjeets included in his plan have become the very themes of eager contention; nor could he be lieve that, while fatisfying his own convietions of truth, be {hould be able to avoid the taking a fide, and the ranging - or the being ranged with one body of Chriftians, againfi others. In fact he has found himfelf nearing the abyfs of firife; and he fieps back in hafie. The prefent Rate of ecclefiafiical excitement will however, no doubt, in a few years, fubfide, and a calmer feafon once again fmile upon the Chrifiian commonwealth. Should be live to fee the happy days of tranquillity and good-will, the author would gladly refume the difficult, and, as he believes, important fubjeets, which at prefent he lays down. He now returns to the favourite and peaceful themes of his earlier meditations and fiudies. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
