Excerpt from Brownson's Quarterly Review, Vol. 1 The principle of the worship of the saints, or of the honor w-e render them, is'that of honoring God in his works, especially in his works of grace, and therefore in his saints, who are his greatest and noblest works. The principle, that God is to be honored in his works, is the most reasonable principle that the human mind can enter tain. We do not know from reason alone what is the honor that we are to render to God, but we do know from Simple natural reason, that we are to love and honor him supremely, with our whole heart, soul, mind, and strength. But we cannot do this without loving and honoring him in his works. To despise or to refuse to honor the work is to dishonor the workman, and nothing is more natural or more proper, when our hearts are filled with the honor and glory Of the workman, than that they should Overflow with love and honor to the work. It is a high honor to have been the work of God, for if we rightly consider who and what God is, we must conclude that he can do, or even touch, nothing, without imparting to it, in some sense, an infinite value. Rightly considered, God is no less worthy of honor in his doing than in his being; for since he is, as the theologians say, pure act, his doing and his being, on his Side, S0 to speak, are insep arable. Consequently, he is infinitely adorable in all his works, and whoso despises the meanest of his creatures, even though the veriest clod of senseless earth, despises God, and whoso honors the meanest, because the work of God, honors God himself.

Excerpt from Brownson's Quarterly Review, 1848, Vol. 2 Is it not strange, my brethren, that the great primary ques tions, whence we came, why we are here, and whither we go, - questions which we must answer, or have no rule of life, and be compelled to live as the beasts that perish, - should be regarded by large numbers of you, who believe yourselves to constitute the more advanced portion of mankind, as unsolved, if not, indeed, as unsolvable, problems P Is it reasonable to suppose the race has subsisted six thousand years, and, as many of you would fain persuade us, much longer, on this globe, with these problems unsolved P Is it true that no light has ever dawned on our origin and destiny, that we are placed here with darkness behind us, darkness before us, and darkness over.

Excerpt from Brownson's Quarterly Review, Vol. 2 And youth in its rashness and inexperience often at tempts what is impracticable, and indulges dreams which no wise man could wish to see realized. Age has no right to do wrong, and I admit that there are old men who have profited little even in the hard school of experience, and who are devoured by an insane ambition or an insatiable avarice long after they have outlived every other passion, and when they have one foot already in t e grave. Yet, Old men for counsel and young men for war, remains as one of those precious maxims in which is condensed the wisdom of mankind. The young prince who, on coming to the throne, dismisses the experienced counsellors Of his wise father, and surrounds himself with advisers of his own age, is generally regarded as on the high-road to the ruin of himself, if not of his kingdom. Sometimes, in deed, we find a marvellous young man, wise beyond his years; but ordinarily the wise head is not found on young shoulders. But, Uncle Jack, you forget that the youth of our gene ration have advantages which those Of former generations had not.

Excerpt from Brownson's Quarterly Review, Vol. 3 M. Gratry has here attempted a work of the highest importance, and much needed to meet the moral and intel lectual wants of our times. No higher subject than God can occupy our thoughts, and no knowledge can compare, in dignity, interest, and value, with the knowledge of God. Indeed, as without God there Is nothing, for all things are by him, In him, and for him, so without knowledge of him there is no knowledge at all. He who knows not God knows nothing, and hence the dee significance of the Holy Scripture which calls him a foo who denies God, Dixit insipiens in cards ma, non est Deus. The highest wisdom Is to know God, and the supreme good Is to know and love him. The greatest service, therefore, which can be rendered to genuine science and to mankind, is to fur nish solid instruction as to the means and conditions of. The knowledge and love of God, and to stimulate men to seek him as the first good and the first fair. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
