Excerpt from Poems and IdyllsOn the subject of the resurrection of the body we find an advance on the views which some years ago were alone considered orthodox, - an advance which we have also observed elsewhere, and which 15, no doubt, attributable to a more general penetration of scientific ideas. Mr. Cullen teaches that it is not the body buried, particle for particle, which is preserved and is to be raised, but only what he calls the germ of that body. The argument for 'the eternal misery' of the wicked is given with some power, and the authorities quoted on behalf of it are Ruskin, Coleridge, and Butler. - Spectaz'or.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
