CRITICISMS.

BY

JOHN W. LESTER,

CHRIST'S COLLEGE, CAMBRIDGE.

"The world of nature, on which but now I gazed with wonder and admiration, sinks
before me. With all its abounding life and order and bounteous increase, it is but the
curtain which hides one infinitely more perfect,-the germ from which that other shall
develope itself. My faith pierces through this veil, and broods over and animates this
germ. It sees, indeed, nothing distinctly; but it expects more than it can conceive,
more than it will ever be able to conceive, until time shall be no more."-FICHTE.
