Overview

Excerpt from A Comparative Estimate of the Mineral and Mosaical Geologies A constant skir mish with cavillers and sophists, whose pollcy it is to challenge -a perpetual warfare on the road, in' order that it might not be travelledlto the end. By yielding to that stratagem, we contribute to the attainment of one great end of infidelity. Whereas, if we will only resolutely set forward, and pursue'our progress' under the safeguard of a sound and powerful principle, we may set all adversaries at defiance; and, by press ing on to the utmost extent to which that principle will lead us, we shall at length arrive at the term, from which it was the design of the adversary to preclude us. It is a weak system of tactics, which, in an enterprise of great moment, would stop to engage with every hovering band that at tempts to harass at the same time, there exists a consciousness of force, sufficient to accomplish the enterprise in spite of all opposition.
