Popular passages
Page vi - The Essay on Miracles deserves to be considered, as one of the most dangerous attacks that have been made on our religion. The danger results not solely from the merit of THE PIECE: it results much more from that of THE AUTHOR. The piece itself, like every other work of Mr Hume, is ingenious; but its merit is more of the oratorial kind than of the philosophical.
