Paley, William
A View of the Evidences of Christianity in Three Parts. Dublin: Printed by John Pasley, for J. Milliken, 1794. Full calf, morocco lettering piece; pp. xii, 644.
Paley was, and remains, a hugely influential (if controversial) Christian apologist and philosopher, as well as an early abolitionist. His work on Natural Theology was a significant influence even on opponents of Design such as Darwin and Dawkins. This work is a defence of Christianity and like all Paley's work is both lucid and willing to openly explore the evidence against his own case. It was not for sentimental reasons that Oxford constitutional theorist A.V. Dicey had his students read Evidences, but to learn legal reasoning.
