Excerpt from An Excursion Among the Poets

The incompatibility of the old notion of a par tial atonement with the present state of culture, moral and religious, among men, and the restless ness which a sense of that incompatibility produces in leading minds, - have been evinced in a marked manner of late in the publication of an ingenious work* by one of the foremost champions of the old theology, in which, in order to vindicate the ways of God to man, under the assumptions of that theology, he revives the. Ancient theory of pre-existent sin, which regards the human race as fallen spirits, to whom in this life an opportunity is afforded of expiating the guilt which they con tracted in unknown eras of being. We will not pause upon the difficulties with which this fanciful scheme is crowded.
