Joseph Butler, 1692-1752..Butler. -- A future life. -- Necessity or determinism.- -Teleology. -- Miracle. -- The mediation of Christ. -- Probability as the guide of life. Issued as an additional volume to the Works of Joseph Butler, edited by W.E. Gladstone (1809-1898). A lengthy review in the Critical Review of Theological and Philosophical Literature (1896) praises the great political leader, Gladstone, for his interest in Bishop Butler: "the reader finds it difficult to forget that the most eminent man of affairs of our time is here revealing his innermost thoughts and hopes regarding the ultimate issues of human destiny. Since the days of Burke no English statesman has done so much to elevate political life as the author of this volume. Burke enriched it by introducing into its discussions a profounder political philosophy ; Mr Gladstone's chief contribution has been an unfaltering endeavour, in good and evil days, to make righteous action rather than profit or glory the supreme object of our national policy.[... ] He has chosen the writings of Bishop Butler as his text-book, and as his text; for his papers are not merely learned studies on a philosophical classic they are to a greater degree a series of persuasive exhortations to cling to the sober, righteous and religious view of life, which it was the aim of Butler to recommend.".
