" Ohe ! jam satis est ! " 



It is with such idle and vain imaginations as these that the 

 shallow-minded allow themselves to be duped by those who ought 

 to know better. This is the bugbear that the "wise in their own 

 conceit" have been seduced out of their senses with. 



Surely, "The Force of Folly can no further go !" 



It reminds one of the old school saying, 



" If ' if s ' and ' ands ' were pots and pans, 



" There would be no work for tinkers' hands." 



Does the good man think that we are simpletons, to be 

 befooled by such trifling as this ? And it is with it, and such 

 as it, a "scientific" book, forsooth ! that our "professors" 

 and " men of science" would, if they could, beguile Believers, 

 and overturn Religion ! 



Yes, this is the book that has been belauded and bepraised, 

 usque ad nauseam, by our " philosophers " and '* professors," so 

 styled and so dubbed among themselves, as if built upon the 

 most elaborate argumentation, and perfectly unanswerable ! 



This is the book that has been the will-o'-the-wisp that has 

 led away the weak-minded into the Slough of Despond of a 

 shallow and contemptible Infidelity. 



But, Magna est Veritas, et prcevalebit !
