Maskelyne and Cook, and Professor Huxley, the public mind might have arrived at some conclusion on the subject.

Oxford whether Jehovah was a god of Moses's tribe or quite the reverse, 'a Kenite god. Yet it really makes a good deal of difference! One may ask for instances of such a thing in any known race, in any stage of culture. Peru will not help us not the Creator, Pachacamac, but the Sun, is the god of the Inca family.
At least, could you not tell me you had changed your mind? why am I to pick it out from your absence and silence, as Dr. Warburton found a future state in Moses's saying nothing of the matter!
