INDEX TO VOL. IX.

A.

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. Some practi-
cal examples adduced from ancient
and modern poetry, 470.

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.

ry Associations.

D.

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. The ark a
conspicuous object in heathen
worship, 91. Histories of opinions
respecting deluges, 93. Pythago-
ras and Strabo, 93. Ancient Jews
and Arabians not scientific, 94.

ally adopt the diluvial theory,

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

censures

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.

J.

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.
