APHORISMS AND REFLECTIONS
The vast- and varied procession of events which we call Nature, affords a sublime spectacle and an inexhaustible wealth of attractive problems to the speculative observer, if we confine our attention to that aspect which engages the attention of the intellect, nature appears a bountiful and harmonious whole, the incarnation of a faultless logical process, from certain premises in the past to an inevitable conclusion in the future. But if it lie regarded from a less elevated, though more human point of view; if our moral sympathies are allowed to influence our judgment, and we permit ourselves to criticise one another; then our verdict, at least so far as sentient nature is concerned, can hardly he so favourable.
