Reading Experience:

Evidence:

'The first entire work that I read in defence of revealed religion, was Archdeacon Paley's View of the Evidences of Christianity. This very excellent work I perhaps never should have read, had I not met with a pirated edition of it, (the whole being printed in one volume duodecimo, on decent paper) which I bought bound, for three and sixpence.'
