Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from An Examination of the Rev. F. D. Maurice´s Strictures on the Bampton Lectures of 1858 But nothing short of irresistible evidence will warrant us in attributing to such a man as Mr. Maurice either the want of intelligence implied in the former supposition or the want of candour implied in the latter. The evidence may perhaps be forthcoming; but at any rate the charge must be proved and not assumed. Perhaps the best course open to me is not to attempt any explanation at all. I am compelled in self-defence to point out the existence, in Mr. Maurice´s book, of a tissue of continuous misrepresentation, which I believe has no parallel in recent literature; but I shall endeavour, in the discharge of this duty, to confine myself to the necessary statements and proofs; leaving the reader to determine for himself how the facts which I am about to adduce can be accounted for with the least prejudice to Mr.Maurice´s reputation. To some indeed of Mr. Maurice´s charges I shall not attempt to reply at all. I do not think it worth while to enter upon a controversy in defence of the merely literary character of my Lectures. Mr. Maurice, in his anxiety to leave no weapon of attack unemployed, has discovered that my style is in one place "bewildering," in another, "jargon," in another, "a wilderness of words," in another, "vagueness," in another, "slip-slop" (whatever that may mean); and that my thoughts exhibit "terms and realities hopelessly mingled." I am quite ready to plead guilty to these charges, if my accuser´s writings are to be considered as examples of the opposite qualities.
