It was about this date, I suppose, that
I read Bishop Butler's _Analogy_; the
study of which has been to so many, as
it was to me, an era in their religious
opinions. Its inculcation of a visible
church, the oracle of truth and a
pattern of sanctity, of the duties of
external religion, and of the historical
character of Revelation, are
characteristics of this great work which
strike the reader at once; for myself,
if I may attempt to determine what I
most gained from it, it lay in two
points which I shall have an opportunity
of dwelling on in the sequel: they are
the underlying principles of a great
portion of my teaching.

From dewy pastures, uplands sweet with thyme,
A virgin breeze freshened the jaded day.
It wafted Collins' lonely vesper chime,
It breathed abroad the frugal note of Gray.

Et sine pondere erunt, et honore indigna serentur.

Et versentur adhuc intra penetralia Vestæ:

Quæ priscis memorata Catonibus atque Cethegis,
Nunc situs informis premit et deserta vetustas. HOR.

There your son will find analytical
reasoning diffused in a pleasing and
perspicuous style. There he may imbibe,
imperceptibly, the first principles on
which our excellent laws are founded;
and there he may become acquainted with
an uncouth crabbed author, Coke upon
Lytleton, who has disappointed and
disheartened many a tyro, but who cannot
fail to please in a modern dress.
