Excerpt from The Mercersburg Quarterly Review, 1854, Vol. 6 We must not be surprised at the severity and even tyranni cal rigor with which the lessons of subordination were inculca ted. Learned they must be, at any cost, as the indispensable prerequisites to human liberty. And the miseries of the age are attributable not so much to the spirit of the history of the times, as to the mad and determined opposition of blind law lessness. The individual must yield to the historic progress of the age, or be crushed beneath its resistless power. Hence was it that government assumed an arbitrary character, which made a reaction necessary in after times. I repeat it, we must not be surprised at the severity and even cruelty with which the governments of the times were characterized. Even in our own times the principle involved, is approved, and in this age and country finds a practical illus tration. The laws of our government are imperious in their demands, and insist upon obedience with the severest of sanc tions. Life itself is held to be a subordinate interest. And the government of these United States, mild and humane as it is, will not hesitate to assert its majesty and the supremacy of its laws at the expense, if needs be, of millions of treasure, and rivers of human blood. So too in the family; the child that submits not to the authority therein lodged, lays himself oh noxious to the severest penalty which it is in its province to in flict. The reduction then, of the elements of unbridled law lessness, as they confronted the institutions of past history, called forth that terrible rigor which the historic page narrates, and it is not saying too much when we declare that milder measures would not have been adequate to the task.

Excerpt from The Mercersburg Quarterly Review, 1855, Vol. 7 This curious contest between Neptune and Minerva is rep resented in splendid colossal statues from the master hand of Phidias, on the western pediment of the Parthenon, while on the eastern was seen the birth of Minerva in the presence of all the gods of Mount Olympus. The earliest statues of Minerva were made of wood in the rigid Egyptian style, and were placed in wooden sanctuaries. But the Athenians, in their rapid progress toward civilization, soon built a larger temple of yellow lime-stone, ornamented with marble columns and painted in brilliant blue, black, and red colors, without any sculptures.
