It is only with sentiments of grateful admiration, of amazement, and awe, we trace in the special dispensations of providence, for the advancement of Christianity and the progress of modern society, the wonderful concurrence of events towards the single object of divine love, or the unexpected exercise of divine justice long delayed; such as I have in the proper places endeavoured to point out. With this faith in Primitive Revelation, and in the glorious consummation of Christian love, I cannot better conclude this "Philosophy of History," than with the religious hope I have more than once expressed, and which is more particularly applicable to these times--the dawn of an approaching era:--that by the thorough religious regeneration of the state, and of science, the cause of God and Christianity may obtain a complete triumph on the earth. [20] What a melancholy foreboding is contained in these words!--_Trans._ [21] Austria. [22] Prussia. [23] Schlegel here conveys an indirect censure on the Prussian government, for some acts of an intolerant nature towards its Catholic subjects.--_Trans._ [24] This was spoken exactly two years before the French Revolution of July, 1830.--_Trans._ [25] Austria. [26] France. [27] Schlegel alludes to the philosophy of Fichte, which was _an ideal subjective Pantheism_. [28] The author here alludes to the philosophy of Schelling, which was more a material and objective Pantheism, not unlike the system of Spinoza. [29] This last expression contains, I believe, an allusion to the philosophy of Hegel.--_Trans._ FINIS. B. BENSLEY, PRINTER.
