Excerpt from A View of Religions, in Three Parts: Part I. Containing an Alphabetical Compendium of the Denominations Among Christians; Part II. Containing a Brief Account of Paganism, Mahomedism, Judaism and Deism; Part III. Containing a View of the Religions of the Different Nations of the World Some parts of the accounts, given by the author, of the Eastern Pagan nations we have omitted, considering the authorities on which they are founded as suspicious. By a close attention to fact in those nations with which Europeans have lately been in the habits of the most familiar intercourse, we have been compelled to distrust much of the panegyric bestowed upon them by former writers, and to consider it as one of those indirect methods by which deistical historians, geographers, and travellers, have thought fit to assail the reli gion of Jesus.
