APPENDICES. 269 



Westminster Review, which gave Bishop Colenso its 

 warm support, has been imbued with infidelity of 

 the worst type during the last 20 years, we may 

 judge by the following attack which it once made on 

 the subject of Holy Scripture: "It must never be 

 forgotten, that the most monstrous of Christian 

 superstitions, the most grotesque of Christian 

 miracles, and the most inhuman of Christian dogmas, 

 find their prototype in the books of the Old and New 

 Testament, that medley of documents, which, with 

 much that is true, pathetic and sublime, contains 

 not a little that is false, inhuman and immoral," (W.R., 

 October 1865, p. 350). What the late lamented 

 Duke of Albany said at the Tait Memorial Meeting 

 in 1883 concerning "that false opposition between 

 reason and revelation (so prevalent in the present 

 day), as though in this world of awful mysteries, a 

 spirit of arrogant irreverence were not the very 

 maddest unreason," is peculiarly applicable to this 

 self-sufficient infidel writer of the Westminster 

 Review, who has thus, in the pride of an unsanctified 

 intellect, endeavoured most falsely to disparage the 

 infallible Word of God. Eevelation xxii. 7, 14, 

 15, 18, 19.

 might evolve a whale, as Hamlet is represented
