Scott's mode of refuting philosophical errors I am now holding up to view.
But let us have a sample of Mr. Combe's loud acctisations against the divines, (I have shewn examples of his '< attacks, ") because they have not already adopted the natural laws in their instructions, instead of the morality of the Gospel : — *' If the doctrine unfolded in the present treatise be in any d^ree true, it is destined to operate pro- portionally on the character of clerical instruction. Individuals whose minds have embraced the views which it contains^ inform me that many sermons appear to them inconsistent in their different propositions, at variance with*^ sound views of human nature^ and so vague as to have little relation to prac- tical life and conduct. They partake of the abstractedness of the scholastic philosophy. The first divine of comprehensive intellect and powerful moral feelings, who shall take courage and introduce the natural laws into his discourses, and teach the people the works and institutions of the Creator, will reap a great reward in usefulness and pleasure." And again : — *' The views developed in the preceding chapters, if founded in nature, may be expected to lead, ultimately, to considerable changes in many of the customs and pursuits of society ; but to accomplish this effect, the principles themselves must first be ascertained to be true, and then they must be sedulously taught.
