Inaccuracies no doubt have been found, not a few.

But, unfortunately, there is only one of our seats of learning where--in theology at least--the study of accuracy has quite the place that it deserves.

Our best scholars and ablest men--with one or two conspicuous exceptions--do not write, and the work is left to be done by _litterateurs_ and clergymen or laymen who have never undergone the severe preliminary discipline which scientific investigation requires.

Thus a low standard is set; there are but few sound examples to follow, and it is a chance whether the student's attention is directed to these at the time when his habits of mind are being formed.
Again, it was claimed for 'Supernatural Religion' on its first appearance that it was impartial.

The claim has been indignantly denied, and, I am afraid I must say, with justice.
