- I. As To Physical Science, Of Course There Can Be No Real Collision Between It And Catholicism. Nature And Grace, Reason And Revelation, Come From The Same Divine Author, Whose Works Cannot Contradict Each Other. Nevertheless, It Cannot Be Denied That, In Matter Of Fact, There Always Has Been A Sort Of Jealousy And Hostility Between Religion And Physical Philosophers. The Name Of Galileo Reminds Us Of It At Once. Not Content With Investigating And Reasoning In His Own Province, It Is Said, He Went Out Of His Way Directly To Insult The Received Interpretation Of Scripture; Theologians Repelled An Attack Which Was Wanton And Arrogant; And Science, Affronted In Her Minister, Has Taken Its Full Revenge Upon Theology Since. A Vast Multitude Of Its Teachers, I Fear It Must Be Said, Have Been Either Unbelievers Or Sceptics, Or At Least Have Denied To Christianity Any Teaching, Distinctive Or Special, Over The Religion Of Nature. There Have Indeed Been Most Illustrious Exceptions; Some Men Protected By Their Greatness Of Mind, Some By Their Religious Profession, Some By The Fear Of Public Opinion; But I Suppose The Run Of Experimentalists, External To The Catholic Church, Have More Or Less Inherited The Positive Or Negative Unbelief Of Laplace, Buffon, Franklin, Priestley, Cuvier, And Humboldt. I Do Not Of Course Mean To Say That There Need Be In Every Case A Resentful And Virulent Opposition Made To Religion On The Part Of Scientific Men; But Their Emphatic Silence Or Phlegmatic Inadvertence As To Its Claims Have Implied, More Eloquently Than Any Words, That In Their Opinion It Had No Voice At All In The Subject-matter, Which They Had Appropriated To Themselves. The Same Antagonism Shows Itself In The Middle Ages. Friar Bacon Was Popularly Regarded With Suspicion As A Dealer In Unlawful Arts; Pope Sylvester The Second Has Been Accused Of Magic For His Knowledge Of Natural Secrets; And The Geographical Ideas Of St. Virgil, Bishop Of Saltzburg, Were Regarded With Anxiety By The Great St. Boniface, The Glory Of England, The Martyr-apostle Of Germany. I Suppose, In Matter Of Fact, Magical Superstition And Physical Knowledge Did Commonly Go Together In Those Ages: However, The Hostility Between Experimental Science And Theology Is Far Older Than Christianity. Lord Bacon Traces It To An Era Prior To Socrates; He Tells Us That, Among The Greeks, The Atheistic Was The Philosophy Most Favourable To Physical Discoveries, And He Does Not Hesitate To Imply That The Rise Of The Religious Schools Was The Ruin Of Science. 520

- Ii. And If The Interposition Of The Church Is Necessary In The Schools Of Science, Still More Imperatively Is It Demanded In The Other Main Constituent Portion Of The Subject-matter Of Liberal Education,—literature. Literature Stands Related To Man As Science Stands To Nature; It Is His History. Man Is Composed Of Body And Soul; He Thinks And He Acts; He Has Appetites, Passions, Affections, Motives, Designs; He Has Within Him The Lifelong Struggle Of Duty With Inclination; He Has An Intellect Fertile And Capacious; He Is Formed For Society, And Society Multiplies And Diversifies In Endless Combinations His Personal Characteristics, Moral And Intellectual. All This Constitutes His Life; Of All This Literature Is The Expression; So That Literature Is To Man In Some Sort What Autobiography Is To The Individual; It Is His Life And Remains. Moreover, He Is This Sentient, Intelligent, Creative, And Operative Being, Quite Independent Of Any Extraordinary Aid From Heaven, Or Any Definite Religious Belief; And as Such, As He Is In Himself, Does Literature Represent Him; It Is The Life And Remains Of The natural Man, Innocent Or Guilty. I Do Not Mean To Say That It Is Impossible In Its Very Notion That Literature Should Be Tinctured By A Religious Spirit; Hebrew Literature, As Far As It Can Be Called Literature, Certainly Is Simply Theological, And Has A Character Imprinted On It Which Is Above Nature; But I Am Speaking Of What Is To Be Expected Without Any Extraordinary Dispensation; And I Say That, In Matter Of Fact, As Science Is The Reflection Of Nature, So Is Literature Also—the One, Of Nature Physical, The Other, Of Nature Moral And Social. Circumstances, Such As Locality, Period, Language, Seem To Make Little Or No Difference In The Character Of Literature, As Such; On The Whole, All Literatures Are One; They Are The Voices Of The Natural Man. 536

- C. Reads. Cicero Appio Salutem. Dubitanti Mihi (Quod Scit Atticus Noster), De Hoc Toto Consilio Profectionis, Quod In Utramque Partem In Mentem Multa Veniebant, Magnum Pondus Accessit Ad Tollendam Dubitationem, Judicium Et Consilium Tuum. Nam Et Scripsisti Aperte, Quid Tibi Videretur; Et Atticus Ad Me Sermonem Tuum Pertulit. Semper Judicavi, In Te, Et In Capiendo Consilio Prudentiam Summam Esse, Et In Dando Fidem; Maximeque Sum Expertus, Cùm, Initio Civilis Belli, Per Literas Te Consuluissem Quid Mihi Faciendum Esse Censeres; Eundumne Ad Pompeium An Manendum In Italiâ. 747
