Accents Greek, nature and application of, 457. Antiquity, nature, appli- cation, and present use of the Greek accents, the subject of much discussion, 458. In the ardor of controversy, the real questions lost sight of, 459. The most important historical facts in relation to the accents from Plato and Aristotle, 460. From Plutarch and Demos- thenes, 461. Aristophanes of By- zantium not the inventor of the accentual signs, 463. The accents existed in the spoken language at a very early period; were proba- bly denoted by distinct written marks as early as the age of Ti tus; and were more generally used in writing from the 200th year of the christian era, 464. The ques- tion, How shall we apply the ac- cent in the reciting of the Greek prose and verse? discussed, 465. Rules given for reciting Greek poetry, 466. The earliest accen- tual Greek poem in A. D. 1160, 467. The Greek accentual signs probably denoted the places, in a continuous discourse, at which the voice rose and fell, whether on the same or different syllables, without regard to the sudden explosion of voice which forms a principal in- gredient in our modern system of pronunciation, 469.

A Priori argument for the Divine ex- istence examined, 421. Dr. Clarke an acute reasoner, 421. His at- tempted a priori proof stated, 422. His reasoning in support of the necessary existence of space, not satisfactory, 423. His argument, after all, is not a priori,424. Dr.C.'s argument, was admitted by most of his contemporaries, 425. He attempts to prove that many of the essential attributes of the self-ex- istent being can be demonstrated a priori, 426. He pushed his in- quiries for a cause of the self-exis- tent being too far, 427. The di- vine unity not susceptible of full proof from the works of nature, 428. Dr. C.'s attempted a priori proof of the moral attributes of the divine being, a failure, 429. Dr. Clarke's Demonstration a pro- found work, 431. Associations Voluntary, see Volunta- ry Associations.

Deluges, historical and geological compared, 78. The Mosaic histo- ry of the deluge the one with which all others are to be compar- ed, 79. Brief statement respect- ing it, 79. Egyptian tradition of a deluge, 80. These traditions had their origin in the deluge of Noah, 81. Because (1) of the dis- crepant dates assigned to these events; (2) some of the princes of diluvial memory claimed by vari- ous nations; (3) natural for every nation to appropriate this honor to themselves; (4) too many circum- stances common in the history of the Noachian and heathen deluges to allow us to refer them to differ- ent catastrophies, 81. (5) As we approach Armenia, the traditions of deluges more nearly coincide with the Mosaic account, 83.- Traditions of the Chaldeans and Assyrians, 84. (6) Analogous tra- ditions respecting a deluge are found scattered over the whole globe, 85. Hindoo tradition very explicit, 87. Prevalent traditions in America, 87. Found also among the South Sea Islands, 88. These things not to be accounted for without referring them to the same event, 88. (7) The deluge of Noah forms, in a great measure, the ground-work of heathen my- thology, 89. So many allusions to Noah and his circumstances hardly accidental, 90.

Discussion Free, the Right of, 368. The fact that Milton, Jeremy Tay- lor, and Robert Hall called atten- tion to this subject shows it to be of great importance, 368. The subject must be discussed in each successive generation, 369. No portion of history more interest- ing than that which relates to this matter, 370. Milton collected nearly all which can be in his Areopagitica, 371. The right of free discussion been called in question, 372. Undergoing a new examination in this country, 372.
The right to be limited by metes and bounds, 373. Subjects which pertain to private character, feel- ings, etc. not to be discussed, 373. Some of the strongest enemies to the right heedless of attacking character, 374. The private af- fairs of a family, school, college, corporation, not to be discussed, 375. A recklessness on this sub- ject at the present time, 376. But little regard paid frequently to the tenderness of private reputation, 376. The right extends to all principles of action or belief, 378. We have a right to examine the question, What is truth on any subject, 379. All doctrines or practices in which we partake with others may be canvassed, 380. Obligation to investigate truth imposed by God, 381. Eve- ry law and custom in a community may be investigated, 382. These principles generally, not univer- sally, admitted, in our country, 382. The securing of these principles has cost many a hard fought battle, 382. Bacon's re- mark true, that we live in the old age of the world, 383. The right inherent in our nature, 384. God made the mind free, 385. The universe adapted to freedom of investigation, 386. The works of God never lead us astray, 387. All science based on the right of free discussion, 390. The same freedom ought to be extended to theology, 391. Our institutions all based on the right of free dis- cussion, 393. The Bible the friend of this right, 394. When the mind or body is to be bound in chains, the Bible is kept out of sight, 395. Where that book is suppressed, there is no mental freedom, 396. Is this right en- dangered? 398. In ancient times, in Athens, Rome, etc. this right sometimes abused, 399. In the dark ages, power repressed this right, 400. Yet some independ- ent spirits at that time, 401. His- torical statement of Milton, 402. Censorship of books, 403. In our
country, ecclesiastical attempted, 403. Books condemn- ed, 404. Another mode of pre- venting free discussion is to erect ecclesiastical ramparts against the right, 405. Creeds useful in their place, 406; as well as ecclesias- tical decisions, 407. This mode of preventing free inquiry has principally prevailed in theology, 408. Free discussion prevented by pretending that there are some subjects two sacred to be touched, 409. Theology not to be approach- ed in a reckless and presumptuous manner, 410. Inquiry stifled by the magic power of a bad name, 411. Pelagian, one of these names, 411. Such a resort an evidence of a weak mind 412. Ecclesiasti- cal condemnation of books, 413. Formerly the author, as well as his book, condemned to the flames, 414. Next, the remains of the au- thor dug up and burned along with the book, 415. Then the book alone burnt, 415. Now, we can tolerate only a sentence of con- demnation against the book, 416. Such a course unworthy of free- men, 416. An insult to the age, 417. A covert attack on the au- thor himself, 418. This attempt as ineffectual, as it is unworthy, ⚫ 419. Concluding remarks, 420.

Joy, Power of Spiritual, 257. But one true joy for all spiritual minds, 258. The joy of the Lord is our strength, 259. It achieves almost every thing good and noble, 259. Gives life and vigor to all the mental powers and operations, 260. It brightens the objects of intellection, 261. It aids the per- formance of devotional duties, 262. It has a direct connection with all holy feelings, 262. Joy bears up the mind in affliction, 263. It helps to resist the influ- ence of worldly good, 264. Spi- ritual joy needful for the world's conversion, 266. The mass of Christians have little holy joy, 267. Consequently not very use- ful, 268. The church has been the abode of doubt and fear rather than of joy, 269. Every Christian ought to be a specimen of the happiness which Christianity can bestow, 270. No substantial difficulties in the way, 271. The power of al- lowed sin hinders our joy, 272.
