Critical Synopsis for September , 1825 . Examination of Warburton on NeaL It is consoling to see every malignant stain wiped away from the reputation of a man who will be admired as long as our language lasts , for bis independent honesty , simplicity and truth . Neal , it is true , was not very graceful either in his literary outline
or ^ xecutioiL , but he has far more than balanced the defect by the richness and copiousness of his materials and the lucidness and directness of Ms reflections . Who ever consulted him for a particular point of
information without being insensibly drawn on through several pages of Jus blended narrative and documents ? Hie virulence with which his merest shreds have been assailed by
Churchmen , is a plain proof how obnoxious to the Establishment is the substance of his History . From what quarter Jl <* this last received any thing like ^ unanswerable or formidable attack ?

The sally of the Emperor ' s imagination respecting the Elysian fields , I should suppose was rather suggested by a passage in Adam Smith ' s account of Hume ' s last illness , than by any thing in VirgiL At all events , there is a remarkable coincidence
between the speeches of these two dying great men . The passage from Hannah Mor $ , is not so apposite , I think , as might have been elsewhere found . Indeed , I should deny the strict truth of the sentiments themselves . I think men
ought to be taught that they have € t native strength of their owa / ' ^ nd told to exert it more than they do . It is true , that all our strength is given to us by a higher power .

The doctrine of entire dependence , though true in , the metaphysical abstract , yet is dangerous in most , perhaps in all , cases of practical inculcation .
