The origin and spiritual or allegorical meaning of Scripture have never before been so fully and faithfully set forth as by Robert Taylor. If supernaturalists have entirely mistaken this meaning, unbelievers will here see that they have as widely erred in undervaluing it. The books composing the Bible were, for ages, in the hands of those who could, almost with impunity, alter them to suit their purposes. No wonder they are now so inconsistent, illogical, incoherent; so shorn of the characteristics of sane human writings, as to suggest an ultra-mundane origin, and give rise to commentaries, preachings, and ravings, still more bedlamic. Some parts of the Bible are probably as old as any extant scriptures or writings; and therefore, notwithstanding their mutilated condition, a most valuable assistance to those who would thread the dark labyrinth of the past, and from the remotest discernible period, trace the history of our race, and the progress of its mental, and even material development.
