He had held his office so long because he taught a subject which could never become antiquated. During his lifetime it had received very few important additions or emendations.

His expressions are bold and radical, and, it must be said, will have a considerable weight as representing the views of a large class of people in this country on the subject. And yet the fairer class of people, while receiving his criticisms for what truth they contain, cannot help perceiving how violent and one-sided are his charges.
