Finally, we are presented in this Essay with the same offensive assumption of intellectual superiority on the part of the writer, which disfigures the entire volume. "It becomes _imperatively necessary_ that views should be suggested really suitable _to better informed minds_." (p. 126.) "Points which may be seen to involve the greatest difficulty to _more profound inquirers_, are often such as do not occasion the least perplexity to _ordinary minds_, but are allowed to pass without hesitation." (p. 125.) (And this, from one of those "profound inquirers," one of "those who have reflected most deeply," (p. 126,) who yet cannot get beyond a resuscitation of Hume and Spinoza's exploded objections to the truth of Miracles!)--Butler's unanswerable arguments, (for the allusion is evidently to _him_,) are spoken of as "a few trite and commonplace generalities as to the moral government of the World and the belief in the Divine Omnipotence; or as to the validity of human testimony; or the limits of human experience." (p. 133.) And yet the author is for ever informing us that his hostility to Miracles "is essentially built upon those _grander conceptions_ of the order of Nature, those comprehensive primary elements of all physical knowledge, those ultimate ideas of universal causation, which can only be familiar to _those thoroughly versed in cosmical philosophy in its widest sense_." (p. 133.) "All _highly cultivated minds_, and _duly advanced intellects_," are supposed to find their exponent in Professor Baden Powell. All other thinkers have "_minds of a less comprehensive capacity_," "accustomed to reason on _more contracted views_." (p. 133. See also p. 131, _top_.) Is this the modesty of real Science? the language of a true Philosopher and Divine?
