Book excerpt: Excerpt from Theological, Philosophical and Miscellaneous Works of the Rev. William Jones, M.A. F. R. S, Vol. 5 of 12 In my late Lectures on the Figurative Language of the Holy Scriptures, I have carried the apostolical mode of interpret ing them as far as I thought it needful; and have laid down rules from the scrip ture itself, hy'the observation of which, good and learned men may carry it much farther. I have therefore omitted, for the present, the publication of many discourses of the expository kind, which I have by me, and have confined myself chie y to such subjects as tend to make the Christian wiser and happier, and more useful in the conduct of his life. I have followed your Lordship's judg ment in the choice of oneamoral subject with which these volumes are concluded and I wish young men of fortune would consider it for themselves, as earnestly as I have considered it for them.
