These Lectures are intended for two classes of men, Christians and Infidels; to the former, that they be able to give a reason for the hope that is in them; to the latter, that they may not determine against Christianity, from arguments applicable to its corruptions only. The subjects of the FIRST LECTURE, are--The Origin of Evil. The Necessity of Revelation deduced from the Nature of man. An Examination and Defence of the Mosaic Dispensation. SECOND.--The Sects of Philosophy, and the Popular Superstitions of the Gentile World, from the earliest times to the Birth of Christ. THIRD.--Concerning the Time of the Appearance of Christ. The Internal Evidences of Christianity. The External Evidences of Christianity. FOURTH.--The External Evidences of Christianity continued. Answers to Popular and Philosophical objections. FIFTH.--The Corruptions of Christianity, in Doctrines. Political Application. SIXTH.--The grand Political Views of Christianity--far beyond other Religions, and even Sects of Philosophy. The Friend of Civil Freedom. The probable state of Society and Governments, if all men were Christians. Tickets to be had of Mr. Cottle, Bookseller. Sometimes a single Lecture was given. The following is an Advertisement of one of them. To-morrow Evening, Tuesday, June 16th, 1795, S. T. Coleridge will deliver (by particular desire) a Lecture on the Slave Trade, and the duties that result from its continuance. To begin at 8 o'clock, at the Assembly Coffee House, on the Quay. Admittance, One Shilling. It may be proper to state that all three of my young friends, in that day of excitement, felt a detestation of the French war then raging, and a hearty sympathy with the efforts made in France to obtain political ameliorations. Almost every young and unprejudiced mind participated in this feeling; and Muir, and Palmer, and Margarot, were regarded as martyrs in the holy cause of freedom. The successive enormities, however, perpetrated in France and Switzerland by the French, tended to moderate their enthusiastic politics, and progressively to produce that effect on them which extended also to so many of the soberest friends of rational freedom. Mr. Coleridge's zeal on these questions was by far the most conspicuous, as will appear by some of his Sonnets, and particularly by his Poem of "Fire, Famine, and Slaughter;" though written some considerable time after. When he read this Poem to me, it was with so much jocularity as to convince me that, without bitterness, it was designed as a mere joke.
