We conclude this Chapter with the following solemn belief, founded upon years of study and reflection: viz.--As truly as a man in Europe or North America, when he gazes upon the Sun's rising, will have his shadow fall from his _left_ side,--or if in Southern Africa or South America, and in so looking at the orb of day, that his shadow must fall from his _right_ side; so truly do we believe--(and with humility we write, and in hope of Divine pardon, if in error)--that the five additional Prophecies by ISAIAH have been justly (though newly) applied by us to the fate of the Daughter of Sidon; and especially the final one to the Last of the Tyrians, rescued by the Sidonians at the Alexandrian Siege;--and that the entire Fulfilment of the great Prophecy was accomplished by their landing and remaining on the Western Hemisphere. "Her own feet _shall_ carry her afar off to sojourn!" And that that event took place three hundred and thirty-two years before the Birth of that SAVIOUR,--whose Advent was especially foretold by the same Prophet! CHAPTER XIV. REVIEW OF THE TYRIAN ÆRA; OR, THE FIRST EPOCH IN THE PRESENT ORIGINAL HISTORY OF ANCIENT AMERICA, AND THE EVIDENCES TO SUSTAIN IT. In summing up a case to the Jury, it is generally understood that both Plaintiff and Defendant have been heard,--and especially that the witnesses have been cross-examined: in assuming, therefore, our present position in regard to the summary of evidence, we have endeavoured throughout this historic cause, not only to be Plaintiff for the History, but have also in many places been Defendant and cross-examined our own points and witnesses, and even ourselves, in order to anticipate and answer demurrers or objections. Whether any apparent objections yet remain, and if so, whether they have been sufficiently overruled by the arguments, is for the Jury (_i. e._ the Public) to decide; and whether the verdict be in the affirmative for the Plaintiff--or in the negative,--we shall receive the announcement from the Foreman (_i. e._ the Press) with perfect acquiescence in his judgment; and while our blood and nature will not permit a cringing of the knee for favour or for flattery,--yet we ask, and expect, from that intellectual Foreman (whose voice is now potential with the Jury) that liberal Justice which he knows so well how to dispense: and especially in a novel case, comprehending so enlarged a field of original argument, reasoning, and resources as the present one.
