| Evidence: | 'I have also read Gisbourne's natural theology. The design and matter of the work are excellent but it is exceedingly deficient in that plainess and persipicuity in which an argument of so very popular a description should be pressed on the attention of common readers [... ] there is an imitation of Paley's manner of putting an argument but the manner very inferior [to]Paley.' |
