Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Foreign Quarterly Review, Vol. 10: Published in August and October, 1832 To enlighten this principle of reverence for the great, to teach us reverence, and whom we are to revere and admire, should ever be a chief aim of Education (indeed it is herein that instruction properly both begins and ends); and in these late ages, perhaps more than ever, so indispensable is now our need of clear rever ence, so inexpressibly poor our supply. Clear reverence! It was once responded to a seeker of light: all want it, perhaps thou thyself. What wretched idols, of Leeds cloth, stuffed out with bran of one kind or other, do men either worship, or being tired of worshipping (so expensively without fruit), read in pieces and kick out of doors, amid loud shouting and crowing, what they call tremendous cheers, as if the feat were miraculous! In private life, asin public, delusion in this sort does its work; the blind leading the blind, both fall into the ditch.
