    vity has become no less the soul of wisdom than of wit. This the Globists are already learning; they have honesty, zeal, and talent in abundance; and are far too good to belong permanently to a sect or a manner, either in opinion or in literature. Hitherto, perhaps, they have lived too exclusively amongst each other, and have listened too frequently to their own voices. But the exigencies of modern politics will soon bring them into contact with the world; and in that school they will learn the narrowness of sectarianism, its incompati- bility with truth; and, directing their valuable energies in the spirit of the age to which they belong, they will fulfil their honest and honour- able mission, till time and events shall require other agencies: for even ‘ The great globe itself, Yea, all which it inherits, shall dissolve, And, like this unsubstantial pageant, faded, Leave not a rack behind.’ ”
