Excerpt from Phrenology Examined, and Shown to Be Inconsistent With the Principles of Phisiology, Mental and Moral Science, and the Doctrines of Christianity: Also an Examination of the Claims of Mesmerism One of the mag evidences, that all Scripture is given by ins iration of is the harmony between its teachings an the principles of sound philosophy. Almost four thousand years have been numbered since the first five books of the Bible were written, and nearly eighteen hundred, since the Amen was set to the last book of the New Testament. During'this long riod, men have wearied themselves in the search after W cm. Many a time, have those who were reputed sages, proclaimed to the world, that they had found her retreat. But the discoveries of those who proudly claimed the name of the Sophoi, and of those who were content with the more modest name of Philosophai, have alike passed away, and now in the nineteenth century, true philosophy claims an antiquity of less than three centuries. And it is a fact truly remarkable, that the oldest book in the world, the writers of which were not philosophers, stands forth as the great Patron of sound learning and true science. Without pretending to an extraordinary attainments in human learn mg, those remar ble men rejected the various systems of philosophy which prevailed in their day, and without profess mg to teach any of the sciences, they inculcated doctrines which perfectly harmonize with them all, and even the great princi les which lie at their foundation. And now the men who have solemnly received the Scriptures as the only unerring guide in faith and duty, are the Presidents and Professors of the most celeb rated literary and scientific institutions.
