SCR: APTURE PROOFS of the PRE-EXISTENCE and DEITY of CHRIST ; with Observations upon the increas . ing Excess of Impiety and Infidelity. The attempts to spread the pestilent doctrines of infidelity, which, a short time since, excited the well grounded fears of every man who had sense to appreciate the inestimable value of Religion and Morality, have been so completely frustrated and defeated, that it would seem almost too late to take that notice of the work now before us which its merits demand. Independently, however, of the obligation to bear grateful testimony of the service rendered to the good cause by this work, we are persuaded that our Readers will not be displeased with our introducin of an E ssay , w hi ch, i hou g them to th e k nowledge gh emanating from local circumstances, and directed to a temporary object, contains much excellent matter upon a subject which can never fail to excite the deep est interest in every professor of Christianity or advocate for that systeM of pure morality, which, by its divine precepts, is so impressively inculcated. It is besides a work which, for its learning and research into Holy :Writ, and the strength and originality of its style, may rank amongst the first of those valuable productions which have been called forth by the tor rent of Atheism which lately threatened to overwhelm every thing that was good and estimable in the country. Much as we approve of freedom of opinion and religious tolera tion in the strongest sense of the words, and though we are ready at all times to - oppose our feeble arms against intolerant bigotry and superstition, we hope never to be found in the list of those who carry that freedom of opinion so far as to sanction licen ciousness and crime, or call religious toleration that which is in fact the very reverse of all religion, and the bane of those moral and social virtues which arc so intimately blended and connect ed with it. With these feelings we call the attention of our Readers to the subject of the present article.—lt appears to have beeirwrit ten on the occasion of a controversy amongst the Subscribers to a Provincial Library, in which it was proposed to erect a public monument to the memory of an individual well known in thedis trict, not only as the Professor, but as the advocate and pmpaga tor of free or deistical principles. A measure so obviously calcu. lated to implicate the Society in the merits or demerits of a per son thus distinguished, naturally excited the reprehension of those subscribers who had no desire to be branded with the terms infidel and deist. Amongst these was the author of the Essay which is the subject of these remarks, whose liberality and public spirit had induced him to contribute to the support of an institution in which he could have no personal interest. To him it appeared an inclispensible duty to enter his protest against the measure.—" The contest ;` (he says) " involved a question of conscience and principle. Our hostility against the cenotaph is by no means intended, except only so far as the vital interests of religion and evangelical faith are implicated, to cast any reflection upon the memory, or be injurious to the merits, whatever they may be, of the late Mr. M. and certainly much less to distress the feelings of his family." The circumstances which led to the publication are stated in . the following temperate and candid remarks, with which the au• thor introduced the work to the individuals in whose service DEPTFORD VICTUALLINO=YeIRD, May 17, 1823.

" The occasion of it," he says, " was the controversy which arose upon the account of erecting a marble cenotaph, with a panegyricalinscription, to th e late rile . M-y, in the great room of the Subscription Library in S---d. " To the erection of any honorary memorial in Mat place, for the service: alleged, and more especially bearing an inscription worded as that is, - very strong objections were urged ; inasmuch as those services were not even equivocal, but decidedly repro bated by many of the subscribers ; and, Upon the best imagin able grounds, were judged to carry with them the unqualified disapprobation of a large majority. The event proved, not in deed that such a candid opinion of the senurrients of our • nei‘rlibours' was unfounded, but only the truth of a vulgar suspition, that it is possible sometimes for men to Prink one way and act another. Many of our friends, influenced by various temporary motives, forbore to express their sentiments by so strong a measure as a vote against the cen o t ap h, an d some even Voted for it, who a re not willing, nevertheless, to he considered as approvers of the principles, religion: and political, of the late Mr. M. " This monument of the devotion and zeal of the one party, and the apathy of the other, therefore still retains its station ; and to the dissentients no other alternative is left, but either to withdraw from a library, which bears upon the face of it what they deem a great and conspicuous mark of disrespect to Chris tianity, (as some, in high and well founded indignation, have done;) or to appeal to th e pu bli c by a protest against it, either unitedly or individually, " To withdraw, is a measure which ought not to be decided upon by our party with guite so much precipitation, as the Other party used in putting the tablet up. Off'ensive mea sures may be executed at any time. A pause for reflection is useful under irritated feelings, and gives time for a change of opinion and change of measures, which by circumstances unforeseen is sometimes brought about. Meanwhile, the con tinuance of the tablet in that situation ought not to implicate a disgraceful acquiescence in those who »ever can approve, and who openly expressed their disapprobation. If, for reasons good; they do not think it expedient immediately to withdraw, yet they desire nevertheless to be considered as decidedly hos tile to the principles which upon this occasion have obtained a temporary triumph, and which it is the chief purpose of..this marble to recommend to the public: the man is at most but a_ secondary object." Of the utility of-Public Libraries, when well conducted and under the management of well informed and enlightened per sons, no one can doubt, whilst it is equally obvious that, con dUcted under the direction of individuals zealously attached to principles and doctrines improperly designated free, they may be perverted to the worst and most dangerous of purposes. In a district where the avocations and circumstances of the great body of the inhabitants preclude their devoting much time to literary pursints, and where there are few opportunities of as sociating with individuals whose acquirements and habits might induce a taste for useful and sound learning, the effect of dedicating a public monument to the memory of an indivi. dual, conspicuous for -his hostility to the established religion and institutions of his Country, and whose literary attempts had acquired him the reputation of a Luminary of no ordinary lustre, at least amidst the darkness by which he was surround ed, was obviously calculated to do irreparable mischief ,by ex citing the ambitio n of congenial spirits to su c h e ff orts as might gain them similar posthumous honors. It is much to be lamented that a want of firmness and reso. lution in the opponents to the measure did not enable the au thor of the work now before us effectually to resist the aceOm plishment of a purpose which can reflect nothing but discredit on the institution to which they are contributors ; but he will enjoy the satisfaction arising from the consciousness of having done his duty, and of having endeavoured sincerely and zealously to counteract a measure too likely to be productive of mischievous consequences. We are sensible that in the small space Which we c a n a ll o t to the revie w o f p u bli cat i ons, i t Is impossible to do justice to the work before us, or to gratify our readers with so many ex tracts from it as might enable them to form a fair estimate of all its merits without reference to the book itself ; we must therefore content ourselves with recommending it to their pert. sal, and transcribing one or two passages which will enable them to judge of the animated style and the good feeling and sound doctrine which pervade the work. We select the following Passages, which are stmnppli ly a cable to th e su bj ect w hi ch gave rise to the publication " The setting up of examples for the imitation of others, that all who are emulous of the praise and rewards of superior virtue, should also so walk as they walked, 1 John ii. 6, ought, in these deceptive times, to be the work of sound and diserimi nating judgment, and of art undoubtedly honest intention. It ought not to be the effect of partiality to the leider of a fac tion, or a contemptible demonstration of the accidental triumph of party strength, by_ whatever meaner obtained.—Victory iu such contests, is not always a sure pro_ of or real superiority ; for, like Justice, the fickle Goddess is represented blind, and she fre quently inclines the scale to the subverion of Truth, and against the wishes and best endeavours of its best friends. Example has a very persuasive and extensive influence on the rain d. It may be an incentive to virtue and train or equally as much on the contrary a seducing guide to speculative evil, or an intro, diction to pernicious heresy. " When we contemplate the statue of Apollo in a library, we feel no emotions of disgust on account of the divine honours he formerly arrogated to hims e lf, or the nuinerous and gre a t public blessings lie boasted to have conferred upon mankind. Inveriturn medicine meum est, opiferque per orbem Dicor, et herbarum est subjecta, potentia noels. le powers of plants, and physic' s art I f ound, • The great reliever th ro " the world reentered.' Sewell's Ovid. Met. " For all will agree, that we are not at , preaent in any great danger of being seduced to the worship of him, or even to the imitation of his example. Nay, we do not even question his pretensions to occupy his post upon his pedestal; his antiquity and high testinionials from the poets exempt him from severe discussion or enquiry, as to how he came there, or wherefore ? But the case would be materially altered sho u ld a modern deity assume his office, and be obtruded upon our veneration, to a much higher degree than Apollo himself, even to be hencefor wards the tutelar genius of the place, and the pattern of imita tion; nay, I had almost said, the inspiring Apollo, under whose auspices we must in all times to come, submissively sit down to pursue our uncongenial lucubrations with what . appe tite and content we may. " It is the general declaration of H o l y S cr i pture, that the latter ages of the world will be distinguished by a rapid advance of knowledge, both of a good and b a d d escr i ption. By the blessing of a merciful Providence up on t h e pra i se-worthy Cicero Lions of his steady witnesses, in the midst of an evil and adul. tennis generation, 4 The earth shall b e fill e d w i th the know ledge of the Lord, as the wate rs cover t h e sea !" Isaiah xi. 9. " The light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be seven-fold, as the light of seven days." Isaiah xxx. 26. But this ultimate state of happiness will not be atchieved without a previous con! est first with the opposing powers of moral and intellectual darkness, and the gigantic growth, and som et i me prevailing efforts of sceptical science, and philosophy, falsely so called. I Tim. vi. 20. The studies and labour of a wholelife of the sceptic .philosopher, are devoted to the accelereting of this expected crisis; for he a l so foresees that " there is a march in thing's, ever tending to. wards the perfectibility of human reason," which the serpent that cannot he originally premised. But this happy consum mation seems to be attainable only by means of confounding both language and ideas, and perverting every thing to the most forced and unnatural senses. Pstn. lvi. 15, 2 Pet. iii. 16. An artificial darkness can be easily raised, in the clearest light, by a cloud of sceptical dust, and strained authorities may be brought up in .. proof of the most unwarrantable theories, (Isaiah v. 20. —viii. 20.) upon which, if the natural light were suffered 'to break in, it would greatly impede valuable discove ries' as well as di s t ur b t h e b eaut i ful arrangement of the blind. fold system. The beauty and true nature of this system of re ligion is finely illustrated by the invention of the Kaleidoscope ; an instrument which derives its name from exhibiting an end less variety of beautiful forms, which have no reality in nature, but depend upon a bit of broken glass. By looking into a darkenened tube, agreeably the deluded beholder contemplates forms of thing s , new an d surprising, anti which carnet be seen by those who use their eyes only as meson and nature direct, whether ignorant or wise. But these . fleeting , forms have no more reality than the Visionaty theory . of irreligious phantoms, seen by looking into Simpson s Sociman Kaleidoscope, which is effected by inclosing the Bible in 4 dark box, depriving It of the light of revelation, and turning it topsy turves. The distorted and grotesque appear ance o f t h e sacred oracles ?gran/ a surp r i s _ ing delight to eyes accustomed to vision in this way. As for the futile opposition which the spirit of philosophizing encounters at every turn from scriptural objection, and difficulties apparently insurmountable, the modern rule of dres s i ng an d pruning makes every thing of that sort quite easy. The stubborn text that *ill not bend to the space of wall allowed to it, and the band. some training required, must receive a gash, until it will com ply without breaking, and a workman of skill and practice knows how to do it neatly, and with perfect security. ?or is fit while we h ave so many propositions, and logical tools to work with, that the ruggedness of revelation should be made to ,prophecy smooth things, and the text which stands in the may should be compelled to submit to system ; and not system, or reason, or genius to a text, or a chapter, or a book—so long as Wakefield can supply a di ssect i ng knife, or Priestley and Bel sham a drop of Avernus water, to neutralize it into a dead letter. In this state of things, the magnitude of the danger which threatens society is augMented much beyond what many seem to apprehend, by that appetency for indiscriminate reading, and the • eager and general disposition to acquire knowledge, which now prevails, and supports so many public reading rooms and sub. ecription libraries. This i 3, in many cases, a sort of a &lie appetite, which outstrips the competency to make a proper se lection, (in the midst of a literary chaos, where specious truth is mixed with pernicious falsehood), of retch books only as may safely be depended upon to yield only .wholesome nourishment to the mind. Truth is said to lie at the bottom of a well, and in these times must be drawn up thence with a sp i r i t ofjudi cious discrimination, l est , instead of truth, imposture may bats.. pen to rise in the bucket. "Knowledge of good and evil is indeed in our days facilitated, by means of intellectual pumps, beyond all conception of our ignorant fathers !—There are concise views, abridennents,.fa miliar guides, &c. to all eons of knowledge; and science is measured out according to the demand of modern ens. towers, in the precise modicum that may be asked for.— If any are wavering in the faith, or halting between two opi nions, they may, by this convenience of a scientific pump, be readily supplied with the water of Lethe, and guides to conduct them through all the gra d at i ons of rational religion, and from one stage of scepticism to another. Hang have eyes too weak to endure the fell splendour of the gospel sun, at this mart they may procure darkening glasses to any degree of opacity, most agreeable to the present state of mental vision or a col lyrium may be had, at an easy price which will gradually ex tinguish the ey e o f f a i t h entirely, without either pain, or even sensibility to the l oss o f it. lasi. v. 20, Jobe iii. 19, 20. In.. deed, in the regions of the serpentine philosophy, a spiritual kaleidoscope, or camera obscure, the invention of an association of sceptical opticians, is now pretty generally substituted in the stead of the old book. In the genuine scriptures, which none but fanatics now use without lowering, the delicate stoniach of scepticism is for ever nauseated with a mouthful of the marvel.: louts, the miraculous, the prophetical, and, above all intolera ble,' the mysterious l--mere incrustations all ! and contracted like the brief interpolations here and there, by their paseing through barbarous hands in barbarous ages—The inferences drawn from all these, are hut so many tt corruptions of chile tianity," which the sceptical kaleidoscope can free it front, pre. senting us with a p ure heathenism, the dross of b o th J ew i s h and Christian pr eju di ce being left behind, like a caput mar- Mum, in-the crucible of sophistical criticism. The curators,. therefore ' of subscripti on lib rar i es , as caterers for the public appetite,have a certain degree of responsibility upon them, and ought to be chosen from men who have some shreds and par ings of conscience left, and a modicum of feeling for the future state of the public health, which is of somewhat more signifi. Ca than the philanth ro p y o f modern philosophers. They ought to be men who ar e not a l rea d y qu i te b lind, and far gone in philosophy, beyond the reach of any vollyrium to restore, or even relieve." . _ These observations are too true. There are too many helps to a little knowledge in these times which are eagerly seized by those who have not industry or capacity Air the investigatien of truth. We need not expatiate on the mischief which has thus been accomplished. It is felt every day, anti .greatly is the country indebted to those who have talent, firmness, and honesty enough to endeavour to avert the earning evil. We trust that our venerable and excellent establishment in Church anti State will long have a vigilant, zealous, and able Niapporter to watch the maciiinations of its enemies, in the author of -" Scripture Proofs of the pre-existence and Deity of Christ.".... Whilst he is at his post we shall little dread their most despe rate efforts. Fare.
