We have groped long enough in error ; lived long enough in fairy land ; dream- ed more than enough of things unseen and causes un- known. We have, indeed, dreamed so much and ob- served so little, that our imaginations have grown larger than the world we live in, and our judgments have dwindled down to a point. 68 DIVISIONS OF KNOWLEDGE. [LECT. III. Having obtained a general view of the philosophy of matter, we may then carry our investigations into the other branches of knowledge, according to... our leisure, taste, and opportunity. We may apply ourselves to the past history of man, as handed down to us by tradition, oral or in writing ; and comparing these traditions with what we know of the nature of man and the nature of things, of matter and its phenomena, we may judge of their credibility. If we are not prepared thus to judge by accurate analogy, we may receive every fable for matter of fact, swallow every fairy tale for true history, suppose every mythology sound philosophy, and mistake equally the tricks of conjurors and the phenomena of nature for miracles.
