Excerpt from The True Intellectual System of the Universe: Wherein All the Reason and Philosophy of Atheism Is Confuted, and Its Impossibility Demonstrated, Vol. 1 of 2: A Treatise on Immutable Morality; With a Discourse Concerning the True Notion of the Lord's Supper; And Two Sermons on 1. John 2: 3, 4, and 1. Cor. 15: 27
W: have the satisfaction of presenting to the reading commu nity, the first American edition of the writings of Dr. Cudworth. There has been, for a number of years, much inquiry for his works, and a strong desire expressed for a new and complete edition. The argument for the existence of God, in opposition to the cavils of atheists, which Dr. Cudworth treats with such vast learning, with so great comprehensiveness and frequently with so much strictness of logic, will, it is conceived, he peculiarly appropriate to the pre sent times, when multitudes choose to fall into the ranks of infidel ity, and deny the Lord that bought them. The Intellectual Sys tem of Cudworth is an immense storehouse of facts and of learned quotation and reference, as well as of arguments and principles.
The present edition is a reprint of the octavo edition, in four volumes, published in London, in 1820. Besides the Intellectual System, it contains a Discourse concerning the True Notion of the Lord's Supper, two Sermons on 1 John 2: 3, 4 and 1 Cor. 15: 57, a Treatise concerning Eternal and Immutable Morality, and an ac count of the life and writings of the author by Birch. We have compared large portions of the octave edition of the Intellectual System with one of the earlier quarto editions, especially where there was any doubt in respect to the sense. The Treatise con cerning Eternal and Immutable Morality has long been out of print. It is omitted, as far as we can ascertain, in all the editions of the Intellectual System. Only one impression of it, we believe, has ever been published. This is the edition issued in London, in 1731.
