" This Supreme Being," returned Shahsuovara, " is Brumhu." He then proceeded to repeat what is said of Brumhu in the books of the Hindoos, and to describe how he remains in a state of perfect repose during the revolution of endless ages, awaking, from time to time, for the work of creation. " My friend," replied Bartholomew, " you assert that Brumhu is the Supreme Being, while I and my brother believe that there is no God but the God of the Christians, even the Lord Jehovah: and we were led to this belief by observing that the attributes given to the God of the Christians in their sacred books are more suitable to our idea of a perfect Being than the qualities which you attribute to Brumhu." I heard then, that the pilgrim reasoned long with the idolaters upon the nature of God, and laid down these axioms, which the others could neither gainsay nor dispute:--" God is perfect, because every perfection possessed by created beings must be derived from some first cause: therefore all perfection necessarily centers in God, who is this great First Cause.. " Neither can the First Cause ever be deprived of any of its perfections; forasmuch as he that is eternal and self-existent cannot depend on any other being, nor can he be affected or influenced by any thing they can do. /'Moreover, every perfection of the Supreme Being must be infinite; while those of every created being must be finite, inasmuc...

Excerpt from An Epistle to PosterityPerhaps this should discourage me from attempting to collect my rambling recollections under a title which is stolen from Petrarch; but I am encouraged by think ing that Petrarch will not care for this transparent ap~ propriation of his forgotten title, and I am sure that I shall not care if Posterity never receives my letter. I shall not be here to watch for an answer.And yet I shall be glad if a record of the changeful times in which I have lived gives pleasure to any one who reads my book now, or to those who come after me. It has been a remarkable era. Progress has har messed several new steeds to her car since I started to travel onward. Life is much more full of comfort now than it has ever been. Some one asks, Is not life stifled in appliances? Are we any happier than our ancestors were? Is a single day of Europe worth a cycle of Cathay? Have we not taken on some neuralgias and malarias and nervous prostrations? I leave that ques tion for Posterity to answer, and I am rather glad that I shall not be responsible for the reply.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
