Sinopsis

Excerpt from On Certain Methods of the Rambler and the Home and Foreign Review: A Second Letter to the Clergy of the Diocese of Birmingham

Man, then, qua animal, was to follow the progressive law of the animal creation; but qua more than animal, as rational being, as a being made for the supernatural, he was not less gradually to discover in the course of generations the existence and the destiny of his soul. His creation was a miracle: it can hardly be called a separate wonder if his higher nature was from the first brought out by an abnormal method into prominence, in order that there might be no possibility of mistake concerning it. He had the supernatural gift, to shew him what his nature was intended for; then he was allowed to lapse into the mere animal condition, in order that it might redound to the glory of God of such stones to raise up suc cessors to the fallen cherubim. In after ages, all religion, all culture, and all civilization, were founded on the tradition of this state, and were the organized endeavours of man to recall the golden age.

Excerpt from On Certain Methods of the Rambler and the Home and Foreign Review: A Second Letter to the Clergy of the Diocese of Birmingham

You, my Rev. Brethren, and I also would say, that there is ample reason in the book of Genesis for denying this order of progress, even although Adam could not have exercised those peculiar accomplishments which imply the existence of a numerous society. But to this part of the subject I shall have to return, as we shall find an article in the Home and Foreign Review where it is maintained that Not only was the creation that great gift which called for all the gratitude of the newly-created man, but the created world was the only possible object of direct contemplation to him; neither his language nor his philosophy as yet enabled him to fix his thoughts and to discourse upon abstract and metaphysical verities. 9 There also is it maintained that in the primitive religion, and infancy of language, there was no name for God, and that in that same infancy of language, before mind could describe itself intelligibly by symbols, it was impossible to symbolize God by mind. 1'
