By collecting its scattered remains in the monuments and traditions of all nations , comparing them with each other , and separating the essential from the adventitious , we shall attain to a deeper conviction of the universality and truth of those doctrines , in which the substance of all religion consists , and shall return with redoubled confidence to that purest stream of tradition , which has brought down to us , through the lapse of ages , the living waters of immortality .

The study of Political Economy is becoming quite as popular in France as in England . Both the Parisian and the provincial journals abound in praises of Dr .
