Excerpt from The Mercersburg Quarterly Review, 1855, Vol. 7 This curious contest between Neptune and Minerva is rep resented in splendid colossal statues from the master hand of Phidias, on the western pediment of the Parthenon, while on the eastern was seen the birth of Minerva in the presence of all the gods of Mount Olympus. The earliest statues of Minerva were made of wood in the rigid Egyptian style, and were placed in wooden sanctuaries. But the Athenians, in their rapid progress toward civilization, soon built a larger temple of yellow lime-stone, ornamented with marble columns and painted in brilliant blue, black, and red colors, without any sculptures.

Excerpt from The Mercersburg Quarterly Review, 1854, Vol. 6 We must not be surprised at the severity and even tyranni cal rigor with which the lessons of subordination were inculca ted. Learned they must be, at any cost, as the indispensable prerequisites to human liberty. And the miseries of the age are attributable not so much to the spirit of the history of the times, as to the mad and determined opposition of blind law lessness. The individual must yield to the historic progress of the age, or be crushed beneath its resistless power. Hence was it that government assumed an arbitrary character, which made a reaction necessary in after times. I repeat it, we must not be surprised at the severity and even cruelty with which the governments of the times were characterized. Even in our own times the principle involved, is approved, and in this age and country finds a practical illus tration. The laws of our government are imperious in their demands, and insist upon obedience with the severest of sanc tions. Life itself is held to be a subordinate interest. And the government of these United States, mild and humane as it is, will not hesitate to assert its majesty and the supremacy of its laws at the expense, if needs be, of millions of treasure, and rivers of human blood. So too in the family; the child that submits not to the authority therein lodged, lays himself oh noxious to the severest penalty which it is in its province to in flict. The reduction then, of the elements of unbridled law lessness, as they confronted the institutions of past history, called forth that terrible rigor which the historic page narrates, and it is not saying too much when we declare that milder measures would not have been adequate to the task.

Excerpt from The Mercersburg Quarterly Review, 1856, Vol. 8 This sermon, when delivered, carried away with it a venera ble assembly of learned men. It also produced a sensation in the community at the time. Dr. Boardman's sermon, - says a correspondent of the Presbyterian Herald is spoken of everywhere in terms Of high admiration. It was immediately ordered to be published with the Assembly's Imprimatur, not only without one voice of dissent, but with much unction Of enthusiasm. It was likewise at once issued in a political paper in the city where it was delivered. It appeared also, as soon as possible, in the Presbyterian papers with the highest edito rial commendation The lovers of sound doctrine, well set forth, will find the opening sermon by Dr. Boardman none too long for their tastes. By the direction of the Assembly it is now published in a neat little book, with large and beautiful type, by the Board of Publication. Thus this sermon - now a little book - comes to us well certified, and fitly clothed to in spire respect.

Second Edition. 1855. 3. Two Sermons preached in Herstmonceux Church on the Death the Rev. H. V. Elliott, and by the 855. CW difficult it is for foreigners to understand the institu tions of England! What a mass of contradictions is involved in our constitution, in our church, in our universities! How hard it is to discover the springs which influence the nation 1 How entangled are the ramifications of law, of literature, of science! We have all been made acquainted with this peculiarity in one vast branch through the terrible revelations of war. But it is, in fact, a part not only of the system, ' as it is called, but of our character, of our situation. It is at once our curse and our blessing. Its dangers can be guarded against, its advantages may be made the most of; but its root is deep in our very inmost being - we cannot lose it or change it without ceasing to be what we are or have been.

F ancy, for that was one of his ways, Luther rebuking Satan in the style of Squire Western. It was his firm conviction 'that the Evil one may be driven away by meg, because he is a haughty spirit and cannot hear contempt.'

Excerpt from The Quarterly Review, Vol. 7: March and June, 1812 We mean not to assert that the extraordinary increase of the value of imports and exports in the years 1809 and 1810 was owing to the orders in council; but we think that we shall be home out in assuming that the orders in council have at least had no ten deney to ruin our commerce or distress our manufacturers. That our manufacturers suffer distress is deeply to be lamented; but those who lead them to suppose that their distress arises from the orders in council grossly deceive them. So long as Buonaparte decrees that British produce and British manufactures, wheresoever found and to whomsoever belonging, ' shall be seized and confiscated, it would answer no good purpose to ourselves to revoke our Orders and re move every restriction. The orders in council might be right or wrong in point of belligerent policy; they might be right or wrong in point of inter-national justice: but it isutterly absurd, it is mere perverseness to contend that our passive acquiescence under the blockade decreed against our trade and manufactures would have been less injurious to them than even imperfect, or otherwise questionable measure of retaliation.
