Extract

We commenced the perusal of this work with a degree of interest commensurate with the reputation of its talented author; and we must confess this interest has not been disappointed, for it contains new and bold views, urged upon grounds which certainly possess the interest of originality; but which, as certainly will not bear to be measured by the author's standard of truth and rectitude, namely, “the common sense or consense of humanity.”
