Though our in excellent treatises on Natural Theology, there are scarcely any works wherein the evidences which consti tute the foundations of that science have been adduced to prove that the existence of man is not limited to his present transitory state of being. It may, indeed, be regarded as an extra ordinary circumstance, that although so many learned divines and men of science have directed their attention to the subject, with a view to de duce from the structure and functions of the human frame, and from the operations of Na ture, the existence of a supremely intelligent and powerful Creator 'of the universe, they should, apparently, have neglected or overlooked the same sources of evidence in their researches respecting the ulterior objects for which man was created.
