I must tell you that Georgie and I went to hear Dr. Chalmers preach, three Sundays ago. His sermon was on a text whose extreme beauty would diffuse itself into any sermon preached upon it God is love. His eloquence was very great, and his views noble and grasping. I expected much from his imagination, but not so much from his knowledge.
My Lords, I have done." Even of the passages, here cited, I speak rather from my imagination of what they must have been, than from my actual feeling of what they are.

Professor M. Muller, though expressing himself with more caution, inclines to the same conclusion. Popular works, in the shape of Cyclopaedias and short general histories, diffuse the impression.
