 
    Excerpt from Bishop Butler, a Religious Philosopher for All Time: A Sketch of His Life With an Examination of the "Analogy"
Sermons on moral subjects and the Analogy, like the important works of other men of great intellectual superiority and profound thought, can not be correctly appreciated, or, indeed, truly comprehended, unless they are looked at and approached from the right point of View.
For the purpose of rendering some assistance in gaining the proper point of view, as it seems to the author, this examination of the Analogy has been written. In order to arrive at this end, regard must be paid to the history of the period in Which the author lived; not in its theological aspect exclusively, but in reference to all its important characteristics.
An attempt has therefore been made to show the position that the Analogy holds, in reference to the scientific as well as to the theological opinions of the age in which it was written. Bishop Butler's career was overlapped by that of Sir Isaac Newton. He be longed to the generation that immediately followed that of Newton. At the time of Newton's death, in I 727.
