Whilst the infidel mocks a the superstitions of the vulgar, insults over their credulous fears, their childish errors, their fantastic rites, it does not occur to him to observe, that the most preposterous device by which the weakest devotee ever believed he was securing the happiness of a future life, is more rational than unconcern about it Upon this subject nothing is so absurd as indifference; - no folly so contemptible as thoughtlessness or levity." - Paley.

Product Description

Excerpt from Redwood, Vol. 1 of 2: A Tale

The attractions of novelty are too numerous and too evident to require argument or detail for their elucidation. Every one knows that new books, and especially new novels, will be sought for and read while those of more ancient date are disregarded. Many read them only because they are new, and to such they do not come in competition with any other description of reading, but are merely sufi'ered to seize on a vacant hour which might otherwise be less profitably em ployed.
