      we find angels and saints , and all the aristocracy of Heaven , writing letters on the diplomacy of the celestial regions , and bearing out their facts and sentiments , and policies , by myriads of texts from Scripture , elaborately arranged in the margin . At first we thought it was all done in sober sadness ; but we soon discovered it to be

      times , that hooks are _constantly put forth , which mark the excitement of the public on great questions . The present work adds nothing to the stock of knowledge ;

      it does not even pretend to do so . It will not directly teach anything , being rather a treatise on facts already established , and theories formerly started , than an exposition of truths , either new or old . But

It contains many passages of unaffected value ;—such for instance as this ; " The simple consciousness of existence , did men live naturally and

      avoid inordinate stimuli , would be ever pleasing . " We see this fact in children , and there is every reason why we ought to live with a simplicity more resembling theirs , since we might prolong the period of our youth , which might , by such means , almost extend to the very borders of old age .
