Excerpt from Examination of Gillespie: Being an Analytical Criticism of the Argument a Priori for the Existence of a Great First CauseControversial tractates like the present necessarily have but a limited circulation. Out of ten persons who see Mr. Gillespie's treatise it is certain that not more than one will read this reply. Such being the case, I might well (it will be thought) have followed Hume's example in not replying to his critics, and have abstained from further discussion. I am fully sensible of the force of this argument, and shall therefore reply merely to two counter criticisms, one of which raises so important a question (though, as it will be seen, based on a misunderstanding of my words) that a brief consideration thereof may not be altogether out of place.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
