Note 113 — Chapter XVI · BRITISH FREETHOUGHT IN THE EIGHTEENTH CENTURY
Reading edition
Young at this period was entirely secular in his thinking. Telling of his recovery from a fever in 1790, he writes: “I fear that not one thought of God ever occurred to me at that time” (Autobiography, 1898, p. 188). Afterwards he fell into religious melancholia (Introd. note of editor). ↑
