Introductory Note to Clement of Alexandria

^[1794] [The hymn suffixed to Thomson’s Seasons might seem to have been suggested by this ancient example of praise to the Maker. But, to feel this hymn, we must reflect upon its superiority, in a moral point of view, to all the Attic Muse had ever produced before.]

^[1795] [The Scriptures are the rule of faith.]

^[1796] [Kaye’s careful criticism of M. Barbeyrac’s captious complains against Clement, are specially instructive. p. 109.]

Chapter I.—Preface—The Author’s Object—The Utility of Written Compositions.
