“Since I came to England I have travelled about nine hundred miles by land, and I have been so unsettled, and so much engaged in public duties, that I have had but little time to attend to my work: but the bustle appearing to be nearly over, with some prospect of our remaining here during the winter, I mean to set about preparing it for publication. I have changed the plan of it a good deal. I feel some apprehension of the remarks and censures to which I shall expose myself, as these will certainly be made by all anti-religious editors: but though this prospect renders me, perhaps, a little more tardy, it will not have the effect of altering, in the least degree, my firm determination to publish. What good, or what success will follow, time will shew. I sincerely trust it may do good; if this did not appear probable, I would suppress it.”
