Quotes:Paley, William

Zirkoff, Boris

Paley, William (1743-1805). English ecclesiastic. Educated at Christ’s College, Cambridge; senior wrangler, 1763; College lecturer, 1766. Installed as prebendary at Carlisle, 1780, and appointed, 1782, archdeacon thereof. Wrote a number of works among which are: Horae Paulinae (1790), his most original book which was, however, the least successful; *A View of the Evidences of Christianity (1794; Philad., 1795; 12th ed., London, 1807; latest ed., 1860), whose brilliant success secured him ample preferment; it is a compendium of a whole library of arguments produced by the orthodox opponents of the deists of the 18th century.
