Excerpt from Horae Sabbaticae: Reprint of Articles Contributed to the Saturday Review
His inquiry into the nature Of human know ledge, his dialogues ou the same subject, and Siris, are undoubtedly three Of the most subtle specula tions of the eighteenth century, yet each is mainly directed towards a rigidly practical Object. To confound scepticism, atheism, and irreligion is the Object of his inquiry into the reality of matter. To preach the virtues of tar-water, which he does, with an unhesitating conviction, and an unqualified vigour Of language, which reminds one at times of the literary department Of the establishment Of Moses and Son, and Of Morison's British College Of Health, is the main Object Of what may also be regarded as a treatise on ancient philosophy.
