Excerpt from The Sacred Scriptures and Pagan Mythology: An Inaugural Address Delivered at Easton, Pennsylvania; July 28, 1851
Calling to mind whence Sprung the peculiar doctrines, cere monies, and legends prevailing in the pagan world. Far indeed are those idolatrous systems, with their incongruous mixture of beauties and abominations, from taking their peculiar develop ment without the action of some cause and controling laws. There is a marvellous likeness among the various theological notions of pagan nations, in different ages, no less than in different countries - the present worship of idolatrous India showing features kindred to those of ancient heathendom, and proving that both sprung, as certainly as did those of Greece and Rome, from a common origin, under the action of common principles in the corrupt nature of man.
