They sought to relocate religion within a context of reason and science and to establish a tolerant and humane ethic upon values rooted in classical ideals.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn a distinctive voice, Turnbull presented natural-law theory \"scientifically,\" harnessed the arts to promote moral and civil virtue, and extolled reason as the foundation of liberty. The works in this volume exhibit the close interrelations between these concerns and show him as a paradigmatic \"Enlightenment\" figure. This extremely rare material includes two Aberdeen graduation theses, three tracts on religion, various writings on education and art, and, for the first time in print, the correspondence of Turnbull.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGeorge Turnbull\u003c\/strong\u003e (1698-1748) was born in Scotland and ordained into the Church of England in 1739.
