To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
He did not bring together, like Lardner, the great array of historical proof, nor methodize it, to make the conclusions it warrants more apparent, like Paley ; nor reason from the analogy of Nature, like Butler ; but he relied mainly upon the in- ternal evidence which Christianity itself affords of its divine origin. Toward the close of the essay he 44 surveyed the leading features of the historical proof, but the body of the work was devoted to show- ing the superiority of Christianity to ever...y other form of religious belief, in its adaptation to the wants and hopes of man's nature. It is impossible to read this book without being profoundly impressed by the sin- cerity of the writer's convictions, and it abounds in passages of great force, earnestness, and beauty, of which the following may be cited as a specimen : " Prophecy announces the advent of the religion of Jesus ; history records its progress ; literature and criti- cism combine to attest the muniments of its doctrines ; but its surest witnesses are to be found in man's own breast — in the grandeur of his thoughts — in the low- ness of his desires — in the aspirations which lift him toward the heavens, in the vices which weigh him to the earth — in his sublime, his inexplicable conceptions of infinity and eternity — in his humiliating experience of folly, misery, and guilt.
