THEIR ORIGIN, NATURE,

AND

HISTORY.

BY JAMES ENDELL TYLER, B. D.,

RECTOR OF ST. GILES' IN THE FIelds,

AND

LATE FELLOW OF ORIEL COLLEGE.

As by the rare and reverent use of Oaths their dignity is upheld and their
obligations kept fast; so by the frequent and negligent application of them, by
the prostituting them to every purpose, their respect will be quite lost, their
strength will be loosed, they will prove unserviceable to public use.
