In the paragraph Of said history in which begins
to reason 'analogicay, he repeats our first lesson
in natural philosophy given by Pro- Greer at Spring
field Academy, Sykesville in early youth with
which we are familiar. But we would say to Der

''peripherial Distinction nor docs our Hebrew,
Greek and Latin, give light thereon; so we leave
those terms ilucidation in his Historic Sacra.
And now, as Berret must have case on hand, |
and has notsucceeded by attacking eternal process
in upturning it, we would suggest that this is case
in which he might prove more successfully perhaps,

Berret might bring that great luminary sufficiently

big grindstone, such as spoken of in his Historic
Sacra. But he should not get too close; as in the
case of our eternal process it would take his
breath again; he must SLOW down" and fetch |
