The naturalist: a dialogue. Wherein the great importance of the knowledge of nature, and the unhappy consequences of neglecting it, are considered. Exemplified In the Case of Subscribing Confessions of Faith, or dictating to the Consciences of others; which is briefly proved to be inconsistent with the Knowledge of Human Nature. The whole designed As a Persuasive to the Study of Nature, especially of ourselves, and such other Beings as we are more immediately concerned with.
