Peter's of Rome. In saying that he was less of a Puritan than a Churchman, we must therefore beware of ascribing to him any excessive ecclesiastic tendencies, or even any close sympathy with the recent revival of the Romantic school of letters and the mediaeval type of religion. He was not Gothic, but Classic, in his make and culture ; more like a Greek temple, with its horizontal beams that lead the eye over the landscape, or a Human palace, with its round arches that suggest Unite completness..., than like a Gothic cathedral with the springing columns and pointed spires that express infinite yearning and invite the devotee to mystic reverie under solemn shades before flaming altars. He was a Liberal Churchman, not a radi- 13 cal independent ; and he approached the exciting question of the day in the scholarly Churchman's soberness, not in the Puritan's radical abstractions. He would see the slave freed by gradual emancipation, not by violent agi- tation : and did not change, but rather applied his prin- ciples, when lie saw the historical status of the nation was wholly changed, rebellion had become radical in the cause of slavery, and abolitionism had ceased to be destructive, and had become conservative and Unionist.
