This collection presents the complete sermons and tracts of William Paley, a highly influential 18th-century British clergyman and philosopher. Presented in five volumes, this work offers a comprehensive view into Paley's theological and ethical thought. Paley's writings are celebrated for their clarity, logic, and practical application of Christian principles to everyday life.

Included is a memoir of Paley's life, providing context for his intellectual development and the historical backdrop against which he formulated his ideas. His notable works such as "Natural Theology" and "The Principles of Moral and Political Philosophy" established him as a key figure in the development of utilitarian ethics and natural theology. This collection, "The Works Of William Paley," remains a valuable resource for understanding the intersection of religion, philosophy, and moral thought in the Enlightenment era.
