Abstract
A notebook in which Edward Hitchcock has taken notes on the introductory essay by Albert Barnes published in some editions of Joseph Butler's "The Analogy of Religion, Natural and Revealed, to the Constitution and the Course of Nature" and on Butler's text itself. This is number eight of a series of nine notebooks in which Hitchcock has taken notes on Butler's text. Barnes' essay was originally published as a review of Butler's text in the Quarterly Christian Spectator in the numbers for December 1830 and March 1831. Hitchcock's notes include paraphrasing Barnes' text and a general overview of Butler's entire book. Hitchcock has divided his notes into sections based on "lessons" that he has identified relating to the text. This section of notes continues lesson 27 from the seventh notebook and includes lessons 28 and 29. After the last of these lessons, Hitchcock has written a detailed synopsis of part 1 chapters 1-7, listing the main object of each chapter and other minor arguments. The names Ferguson, Briggs, Hatch, Hudson, Walker, and an illegible name are written in pencil below some of Hitchcock's headings, though it is unclear why they are written there. They may possibly be indicating writers who would contribute to that part of an analysis of Butler's work.
