A STUDY OF JONATHAN EDWARDS 17 



quence of that simple fact? Almost everything 

 of his which was published in the colonies was 

 speedily republished in England. Of what other 

 American philosopher and theologian has this been 

 true? Here are a few of the tributes to Mr. Ed- 

 wards : 



Daniel Webster: "The Freedom of the Will" 

 by Mr. Edwards is the greatest achievement of the 

 human intellect. 



Dr. Chalmers: The greatest of theologians. 



Robert Sail: He was the greatest of the sons 

 of men. 



Dug aid /Stewart: Edwards on the Will never 

 was answered and never will be answered. 



^Encyclopaedia : One of the greatest metaphysi- 

 cians of his age. 



.Edinburgh Review: One of the acutest and 

 most powerful of reasoners. 



London Quarterly Review: His gigantic speci- 

 men of theological argument is as near to perfec- 

 tion as we may expect any human composition to 

 approach. He unites the sharpness of the scimetar 

 and the strength of the battle-axe. 



Westminster Review: From the days of Plato 

 there has been no life of more simple and imposing 

 grandeur than that of Jonathan Edwards. 



President McCosh, of Princeton: The greatest 

 thinker that America has produced. 



Lyman Meecher : A prince among preachers. 

 In our day there is no man who comes within a 

 thousand miles of him.
