The poet and the litterateur being universally allowed a very great license, even an intolerant priesthood suffered them to speak out the truth, and, despising probably any opposition which came from that quarter, was doomed to find that genius and imagination form the mightiest influence of all. The same considerations that made literature an admirable herald of the Bible and of the Reformation, render it a dangerous pioneer of doctrine that is likely to overthrow them both. The false in religion, as well as the true, will make appearance first in our literature. When advocated there it makes rapid progress, because it excites no alarm, and because sound theologians are smiling at the flimsiness of the argument, while they forget the fascination by which it is recommended. Infidelity is making rapid strides in our literature, under the plausible disguise of a new Christianity. According to the system now adopted by it, miracles are either discarded altogether or are considered of no value as evidence in this remote age of ours. For the same reason it is deemed impossible to establish the historical truth of the Record. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
