[O] General Secretary of the Chautauqua School of Theology, and Dean of the Department of Greek and the New Testament.
[P] Two small inaccuracies in this sentence. (1) Instead of “reading of a fable,” it should have been, “upon the reading of,” or “upon reading a fable.” (2) The sentence is involved and complicated; “we reflect that we are made to believe that we advise ourselves.” To conceal or palliate the last defect, the second that is left out, but must be supplied by the reader.
[Q] Chose. To avoid the fault just now taken notice of, we might say, “choosing to give,” etc.
[R] Which I do—which is. The same fault again.
[S] “That—it would produce—of such virtue that—.” Still the same fault of a too complicated construction; whence we may conclude that this paper was written carelessly, and in haste.
Transcriber’s Notes:
Obvious punctuation errors repaired. Anomalies in spelling where a definitive correction could not be ascertained were retained as printed, for example: Khubulaï and Khubulai.
Page 365, footnote A, “page” changed to “pages” (pages 419-423, will be)
Page 388, corner of bottom of left side of page was uninked so searching another resource provided the words “of” and “are” for the start of those lines.
