Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Remarks on the Character and Writings of John Milton, Vol. 1 of 3: Occasioned by the Publication of His Lately Discovered ´Treatise on Christian Doctrine;´ A Treatise on Christian Doctrine, compiled from the Holy Scriptures alone. By John Milton. Translated from the Original by Charles R. Sumner, M. A. Librarian and Historiographer to His Majesty, and Prebendary of Canterbury. From the London Edition. Boston, 1825. 2 vols. 8vo. The discovery of a work of Milton, unknown to his own times, is an important event in literary history. The consideration, that we of this age are the first readers of this treatise, naturally heightens our interest in it; for we seem in this way to be brought nearer to the author, and to sustain the same relation which his cotemporaries bore to his writings. The work opens with a salutation, which, from any other man, might be chargeable with inflation; but which we feel to be the natural and appropriate expression of the spirit of Milton. Endowed with gifts of the soul, which have been imparted to few of our race, and conscious of having consecrated them through life to God and mankind, he rose without effort or affectation to the style of an Apostle. - ´John Milton, to all the Churches of Christ, And to all who Profess The Christian Faith Throughout The World, Peace, And The Recognition Of The Truth, And Eternal Salvation In God The Father, And In Our Lord Jesus Christ.´ Our ears are the first to hear this benediction, and it seems not so much to be borne to us from a distant age, as to come immediately from the sainted spirit, by which it was indited.
