You ask me to recommend you books, and some time or other I will name a few that it may be for your advantage to peruse; my object at present, is to gain your pre-eminent attention to one, because that one in its two characters, as a book, and as the book of God, is pre-eminent in its claims. It is respecting its human and literary character that I shall first address you. Some works we read and lay aside without even the intention of reading them again; they are not worth the trouble, or we have more important demands on our leisure and Some there are, which, having attention. |
