This is Volume 5 of the collected "Works of William Paley," Archdeacon of Carlisle. Paley (1743-1805) was a highly influential British clergyman, Christian apologist, philosopher, and utilitarian. His book, "Principles of Moral and Political Philosophy" was a standard text at Cambridge. His "Natural Theology" advanced the teleological argument for the existence of God, famously using the watchmaker analogy. Paley's works offer significant insight into 18th and early 19th-century religious and philosophical thought.
