OverviewExcerpt from Studies Subsidiary to the Works of Bishop Butler: Additional Volume Uniform With the Works Of Butler, to dwell upon the method of the author, as well as upon the arguments of his principal works: upon those characteristics Of his work and working, which lie outside the express indications Of the text. I have here particularly in view the relation of his form Of argument to subjects lying beyond his declared, perhaps even his conscious, purpose. In Offering to the world essays which are meant to be supplementary to the works Of Butler, I assign the foremost place to the consideration Of his method, for the following reason. While maintaining the direct value Of the argument of his largest work, the Analogy, to be unabated, I hold that the value Of his method is greater still. If so, it constitutes the weightiest among the reasons which may he adduced to Show that this is no Obsolete or antiquated treatise; and it therefore provides a principal part of the warrant for endeavouring, in a new edition of his works, to supply an increase of facilities for their study.
