Letters from toy Study.
gg ‘ No. 7.
W I have recently read a remarkable took—
a book which has given me a sort of electric
‘flock apd caused me to seize my neglected
pen. wfcte book which has thus stirred my
sluggishness and put “My Study” ia qpriit
commotio®, is entitled “History of Civiliza
tion in England’’ by Henry Thomas Buckle.
The large volume before n*e, of nearly 700
pages, is only a general introduction to the
main work contemplated by the author —a
work truly gigantic in its proportions, if w®
are to judge from the preliminary perform
ance. But alas for human hopes and, plans !
Recent advices from England informs us that
Mr. Buckle has been summoned into the
eternal world, there to test his audacious
speculations concerning religion’. A second
volume, I believe, has been published, and
here probably this enterprise of great.ge
nius must rest—a magnificent fragment, an
unfinished tower of intellectual pride.
From a brief sketch of Mr. Buckle’s Itfe
new before me, I learn that he was bom in
1822—that he was the son of a wealthy
merchant—that he enjoyed the advantages
of an excellent education, and that, in pos
session of an ample fortune, he passed his
days in retirement amidst his books and de
voted to literary pursuits. His at such
a moment and under such circumstances,
furnishes a frqsh and affecting illustratien of
the old lesson that “every man walketh in a
vain show.”
On many accounts this work is worthy of
serious attention. It contains a vast amount
of valuable information, presented in a style
eminently lucid, vigorous and attractive. —
Mr. Buckle seems to have been a man of tru
ly Enclopaedic knowledge. He was master
of those languages, ancient aud modem,
which are enriched with the treasures
of human thought. He was intimately
acquainted with nearly all branches of
Science in their latest conclusions and de
velopments, with all systems of philosophy,
with all historical compositions, and with
whatever has been written in every depart
ment of literature. His mind, emphatically
philosophical in its tone and temper, was al
ways in quest of the causes of events, and
never rested -short of wide generalisations
which contain the statement of great prin
ciples; He was a bold, original and indepen
dent thinker, with very little reverence for
antiquity or authority. Indeed his boldness
is often irritating, and his independence bor
ders on scornful and offensive dogmatism.-
On most subjects, however, his views seem
to me just and generous, and they t once
. enlist on their side my convictions and sym
pathies. He is a strong believer in human
progress, and an uncompromising and wrath
ful foe of all venerable shams, of all titled
and hoary absurdities, of all tyranny and in
justice on the part of rulers, and of all fool
ish and fanatical attempts at reform on the
part of the people. I can scarcely name a
volume in which there is compressed so mueh
suggestive thought, so much useful informa
tion, so much searching criticism, so much
solid and encouraging reasoning with regard
to the prospects of the race, as may be foqnd
in this Introduction. .
This approbation and admiration which
candor obliges me to express, make me la
ment all the more keenly the feet that this
volume labors under one great and fetid
evil’—it is violently, and even vindictively,
Infidel, from title page to finis. Mr. Buckle
had no respect at all. for the inspiration and
divine authority of the Christian Scriptures.
He is, indeed, not careful to epneeal his ab
solute contempt for their claims in this par
ticular. With all its merits, this is, there
fore, a most dangerous book, and the more
dangerous precisely because its merits arc
so unquestionable and so great. I learn with
sorrow that in some intelligent communities
in Georgia this volume has beoome a sort of
religious text-book, and the Gospel accord
ing to Henry Buckle has supplant
ed the Gospel according to the Evangelists.
In order to answer this work iu any frill
and proper sense, it would be necessary that
one should be, in some degree, the equal iff
Mr. Buckle in scholarly attainments and
general ability. He should be capable of
surveying the vast field which our author
traverses, with a gaze as sweeping and keen
as his own. No sneers and frowns and ex
clamations of pious horror will satisfy the.
reader whose scepticism has been fortified by
the reasonings of this work- Such (heap,
and easy weapons will be of no service here.
That the work can be answered, fairly,
squarely and triumphantly, I entertain no
doubt; but I am afraid that few men in our
Zion are qualified for the arduous task. To
the possession of those resources which
would enable me to’ perform this service, it
would be quite superfluous that I should dis
avow all qMfens and pretensions; but though
confessedly incompetent to expose and refute
this masterly writer’s errors, I think I can
see where they are, and what are some of
his fundamental mistakes and false princi
ples. At least I honestly that, while
this book startled me, and 0* some points
gave me trouble, I have eloged it with an
nnshakeu conviction of the divine origin and
authority of the Christian Scriptures
The great leading ideas of this Introduc
tion, and the Mena which were intended, I
suppose, to govern and characterize Mr.
Buckle’s entire view of modern cizilization,
are two—the one, that the development of
society proceeds in accordance with certain
fixed laws which bind all events to their an
teeedents-—the other, that increase of knowl
edge a Ae grand instrument of promoting
human progress. Probably the last-named
may be regarded as the seminal principle of
the work.
In presenting the? first of these ideas, Mr.
Buekle discusses the old question at freedom
and necessity, mid while rejecting both the
leading theories on this subject, he still ra
ther inclines to the necessitarian Bide—thus
furnishing another example of the curious
alliance which has so generally existed be
tween the Infidel and Calvinistie writers in
their views of the Will. In pressing this
pemkmir author is obviously trying to get
rid of all supernatural interference in human
affairs—a result, by the way, precisely the
opposite of that contemplated by Cahinistic
theologians. The doctrine of Divine Prov
idence Is always implicitly, and often expli
citly, repudiated and scouted on these pages,
and all events are tied to their antecedents
under the control of purely natural iawS.—
Prayer for rain in time of drought he styles
‘•the impious contrivance of calling in the
aid of the Deity to supply those deficiences
in science which are the result of our own
sloth.” In this sentence we have the ani
mus of the whole work, so for a* God’s con
nection with terrestrial affairs is concerned;
and in this sentence we doubtless have indi
cated the popular and prevailing infidelity
which infests and threatens our age. The
progress'6f the physical sciences, resulting
in the discovery of law where once mystery
reigned and the diyine hand was supposed
to he busy, has served greatly to encourage
and extend this form of unbelief. “God is
gradually pushed back, step by step, until
rite, exultant sceptic is ready to declare that
jfe is excluded altogether from His works.
’Let believers be patient, and let the enemies
of the Bible beware lest they raise the shout
of victory too soon. God will not consent to’
become an exile from His creation, A deep
er and wiser science, I am persuaded, will
recognize God in these much vaunted laws of
nature, sad a true and mere spiritual phil
osophy will inevitably triumph over the cold
and degrading Sensationalism which extols
the reign of matter. That profound think
er, Isaac Taylor, makes a very fruitful de
liverance on this subject of God’s connexion
with his works, when he says, “The miracle
Os Pimkleucc is, that its requires no mini
cle to accomplish his purposes.” Mr. Buc
kle's learning and ingenuity arc vainly em
ployed in unsettling the Christian doetrine
and riie deep instinctive conviction of the
human soul, that God is intimately and con
stantly associated with the affairs of our race.
No one, probably, will deny his postulate,
that all events are determined by their ante
cedents, but the gloomy and blighting con
clusions which he seeks to infer from this
postulate will ever be vigorouslyud success
fully resisted. The great majority of men
cannot tolerate the conception of a Father
less world and a God-forsaken race.

We would respectfully suggest that there
is a work which you can do for our country,
and which, ap assemblies of Christian people,
it is your duty to do. You believe that the
God of heaven rules among the natipns and
that it is his hand that sets one up and casts
another down. You believe that he-punish
es nations for national sins, for acts of re
bellion against his laws legalized, required
and enforced by national authority. You
would expect God’s curse to rest on otir na
tion if our Government should pass a law re
quiring its officers in army departments to
worship idols, to profane God’s name or curse
their parents. Why? Because it would re
quire them to do what God, in the Ist and
2d and 3d and sth commandment, has said
they shall not do. But what more right has
the government to require the violation *of
the fourth commandment than of another T
We know, however, very well, that it does it

service upon the Sabbath as upon other days;

God aud to your country to protest against
this wiekedness, and petition the govern
ment to change its course and thus place
our land under the special protection of
heaven.' yv A. C. D,

Something more awful than the
Judgment. . [
A celebrated preacher of the seventeenth
century, in a sermon to a crowded audienc t K
described the terrors of the last judgmei it
with such eloquence, pathos, and force < i
action, that some of his audienc&_4jqfc on p
burst into tears, but sent fort* - £
cries, 83 if the Judge himself had been pres
ent, mid was about to puss- upon them their
final sentence. Itt the bright of this com
motion, the preacher called upon them to
dry theiT tears and cease their cries, as he
was about to add something still more awful
and astonishing than any thing he had yet
brought before them. Sileuee being obtain
ed, he, with an ,agitated countenance and
solemn voice addressed them thus: “In one
quarter of an hour from this time, the emo
tions wbieh you have just now exhibited
will be stiffed; the remembrance ofthc fear
ful truths which excited them will vanish ;
you will return to your carnal occupations,
or sinful pleasures, with your usual avidity,
and you will treat all that you have heard,
‘as a tale that is told !’ ”
Papal Inspiration.
A Roman Catholic priest, iu France, once
ventured to ask a Protestant, “Upon what
do you build your belief, since you have no
authority for your faith ?” The reply was,
“Upon the Bible; if’ the apostles had left
behind them any infallible successors, it
would have been unnecessary to bequeath to
us so many instructions in writing.”
“The apostles! and why are you to place
greater reliance on the apostles than on their
successors T
“Became the apostles were inspired by
the Holy Ghost.”
“Well! and we too are* inspired.”
“Arfe you inspired f
“Yes! I repeat —we too are inspired.”
“Then why do you require to be further
instructed in the College of the Jesuits ?”
The priest was confounded.

From the Religious Herald.
“The Baptist Ministers of Bal
*•’ tiiaare.”
The ‘item’ under the above caption, in the
last issue of the Herald, contains three mis
takes, which justice requires should he cor
rected. The Rev. George F. Adams did
take the Oath of allegiance to the United
States as the condition of his release from
imprisonment on,the Rip Raps, hut the cir
cumstances under which it was done were
such as to exonerate him from blame in the
estimation es meet of his friends. He was
arrested as a spy and harshly treated—hut
that did not induce him to take the oath . It
was because bis wife was alone and unpro
tected in the midst of thousands of demoral
ized negroes, mad hundreds of thousands of
lawless soldiers, and bteause, after repeated
.attempts, she was unable to find refuge in
some place of safety. The form of the oath,
too, which he took differed but little from
the old oath to support the constitution, and
contained nothing which could be offensive
to any one willing to remain a citizen of the
United States. Moreover, I know that bro.
Adams would regard himself as absolved
from the obligations of that oath were he to
remove to one of the Confederate States, or
werarito State of Maryland to secede.
’ The second inaccuracy respects the Rev.
Franklin Wilson. Brother Wilson opposed
the war in the beginning; and, indeed, the
very ablest article I have ever read against
the war, was from his pen. He would hail
with delight such , a reconstruction of the
Union as would give to eaeli State equal
rights under the constitution; but that he
regards now as beyond hope, and he is now,
and has ever been, in favor es stopping the
war by the recognition of the Confederate
States.
As regards Dr* Fuller, it is not jnst to
say that he is “distrusted” by the friends of
the South* The position of the Dr. ie a try
ing one. lie is devotedly attached to his
church, the most prominent members of
which are Union in their sentiments, and in
order to preserve peace among his people, he
has on one or two public occasions seemed
to trim a little. Those, however, who know
his sentiments know him to be true to the
South. He is certainly regarded with sus
picion by the authorities, and has been
threatened with arrest at least once. Be
sides, he has been quite active in visiting
and relieving the wants of the Confederate
sick and wounded. That he associated un
der the auspfces of the Christian Commis
sion of Baltimore does not implicate his
loyalty to the South, lor many of the staunch
est Southern men and women of the city did
the same. The case was this. The city was
under martial law, and no one could go to
Gettysburg to minister to the wounded who
would not take the oath, or go as a member
or the Ch riman Commission. In os*K>r to
reach our suffering soldiers hundreds of la
dies and gentlemen connected themselves
with the Commission. Ido not blame them
for this, though I did not feel at liberty to
follow their example, for I had long since
resolved not to affiliate in any way with the
enemies of my country. I do not believe
that Dr. Fuller has ever taken the oath, aud
he himself told me that on one occasion, when
questioned by Secretary Chase as to the Sa
vannah resolutions, he confessed himself the
author of them, and avowed the sentiments
therein contained as those he still enter
tained. This was within the past six months.
Os the eight Baptist preacher* now living
in Baltimore, six are Southern sympathisers;
the two exceptions are northern men. Os
the people generally, I am fully satisfied that
were a free expression of sympathy and opin
ion allowed, two-thirds of the men and eight
tenths of the women would link their desti
ny with tlfe South.
Yours fraternally,
Tiios. 11. Pritchard.
Editorial Note.— The foregoing article
comes to us from Chari ittsville, and is dated
August 2'Jth. Elder Pritchard has been
sent beyond the* Federal lines. He was sen
tenced to Fort Delaware “for the war,” and
the guard had.already been detailed to es
cort him to his cell in that place; but the
entreaties of his wife induced a successful
application on the part ofa prominent Union
man, that the sentence might be changed to
banishment to the South. With “no plans
for the future at present,” it is scarcely ne
cessary to suggest to the brethren that this
is au opportunity to secure, either at home,
or in that asher-home, the army, “a workman
who needeth not to be ashamed.” ? iff *t

The Index for the Soldiers.
We see it intimated that various papers of
other denominations are being’ sent by thous
ands to cur brave soldiers in the Confederate
army, through the” generosity of Christians ;
and being desirous to have the Indejc, also,
circulated in the army, that the truths and
words of counsel it contains may reach those
so peculiarly exposed to death, we suggest to
our brethren the propriety of aiding in this
good work. We are assured that nothing is*
mote welcome to'the soldier than religious pa
pers, and that they are always read with avid

to benefit our brave and self-sacrificing
soldiers ; n ;his way, and we should hasten to
