Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Rappo-Mania Overthrown, the Christian Religion Triumphant, Vol. 1 of 2: Or, the Scriptures, Reason, Philosophy, Common-Sense and Religion Vindicated Against the Claims of the "Spiritual" Rappers It is with feelings of unmixed dislike that we undertake to prepare the following pages: Our sympathies are with the party of progression. "Old fogyism," whether in Church or State, we have but little respect for. Indeed, for many years we have occupied an advanced position among those who are denounced as "innovators" and "lovers of new things." It is, therefore, with feelings of extreme reluctance, that we venture to put forward our hand, to "steady" what many people regard as the "ark of God." But although radical in our feelings, we have never been in haste to embrace reformatory ideas, which we account for, in part, by the fact, that Caution is marked very large in our Phrenological Chart. Still less quick have we been to fall in with every new idea merely because it was new. Some sincere persons seem to be afflicted with a monomania on the subject of new things. Like the dog that observed the shadow of his bone in the brook, they are so eager after new things, that, in their anxiety to seize them, they sometimes drop the substance for the sake of the shadow, and experience the same result as did the dog. Like the "horse-leech´s two daughters, they continually cry, "give, give," and "never can say they have enough" of new things. They may be compared to a man, who, with his eyes inflated, his hair dishevelled, and his cheeks flushed, is rushing through a town, crying out, "Hurrah for Australia! more gold, more gold!" and, leaving his comfortable home, he betakes himself, with all possible speed, to the nearest sea-port, and embarks on board a crowded packet for Australia, although he is not in need of any "more gold" than he possesses. His thirst for gold has become a monomania, and produced partial derangement. Precisely so is it with some enthusiastic believers in the "Spiritual Rappings," - only with them, the monomania is on the subject of "new things." Of this class of persons, the Athenians, in Paul´s time, furnish a notable example. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
