Book Description
Excerpt from The Eclectic Review, Vol. 2: MDCCCXXXVII, July December An ancient University, richly endowed, thronged with candidates for the learned professions, frequented by the aristocracy of the country, and the only theological school for half the clergy of the national church; is an Institution too efficient for good and evil to be looked at with indifference by a wise man and a Christian. Those who are not its members, must not be supposed to have no interest in its condition, and no right to desire its improvement. Whether it be or be not technically a National system, it is necessarily in effect national. Its estates lie in every county, its scholars come from every county; its graduates spread over the whole kingdom, bringing with them the lessons of good or evil which they have imbibed: and signally as a main foundation whence the national clergy are supplied, the University of Oxford affects the welfare of the nation. It is idle then to pretend, that the nation may take no cognizance of so extensive and formidable an organization, because forsooth we must respect the last Wills and Testaments of certain founders and benefactors. If a man leaves his estates for purposes, which after several centuries are found to generate a public nuisance, is his Will to be respected? In truth, it is difficult to repress the thought, that only pure hypocrisy dictates such pretended reverence for the wills of founders.

Excerpt from The Eclectic Review, Vol. 2: July December, 1851 On turning from the philosophy of Bacon to his life we recoil with shame and grief. Passing from his essays or his laboratory to his judgment-seat, we discover a man whose principles were lofty, but whose actions were mean; who said, that it was heaven upon earth to move in charity, rest in Providence, and turn upon the poles of truth, ' but whose duplicity, selfishness, ingratitude, and avarice, cannot, to the honour Of human nature, Often find a parallel.

Book Description
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Excerpt from The Eclectic Review, 1829, Vol. 2: July-December This may fairly he styled, we think, a literary mirage; not the first instance of the kind that has occurred in traversing the barren regions of science. And it is singular enough, that while the gallant General's fancy has embellished the map of Africa with a new river, a veteran Admiral has done us the fa vour of chalking out a new sea.
