- Notes
- These lectures, inspired by the revolutions of 1848 in Europe, embody the premise: “... I observe that a careful examination of all Republics, whether ancient or modern, will serve to show that none of them embrace so fully the great principles of Civil Freedom revealed in the Bible as the United States of America. The Fathers of our Republic may not themselves have been aware of the close resemblance between the cardinal features of the Constitution which they framed for us, as nation, and those which we have seen revealed through the Hebrew lawgiver” (pp. 79-80).
