Excerpt from Hints on the Importance of the Study of the Old Testament Upon Germany, the eye of the serious theologian rests with a deep and painful interest. Grateful for the talents, learning and piety which she threw into the field to combat with the powers of darkness, and to liberate the moral and intellectual faculties of man from superstition, ignorance and degradation, grateful for the long list of worthies whose examples and instructions have illustrated the doctrines of the cross, grateful also for the indefatigable research which has ransacked every nook and corner of the ancient and modern world, to elucidate the language, idioms and allusions of the "Book of Books, " which has rescued from worms and dust, examined, appreciated and collated the sacred manuscripts which, for centuries, had been doomed to the silence and oblivion of the cloister, - grateful for these and other important services in the cause of theological learning and of piety, he cannot but deplore, at the same time, the presumptuous ardour of thought, the misapplied learning, the injudicious zeal, the looseness of sentiment, and the consequent low state of piety and morals which, since the middle of the last century, have marred the fairest portions of intellectual Germany.
