Brownsons Quarterly Review Vol 2 Classic Reprint PDF Download

Excerpt from Brownson's Quarterly Review, 1848, Vol. 2 Is it not strange, my brethren, that the great primary ques tions, whence we came, why we are here, and whither we go, - questions which we must answer, or have no rule of life, and be compelled to live as the beasts that perish, - should be regarded by large numbers of you, who believe yourselves to constitute the more advanced portion of mankind, as unsolved, if not, indeed, as unsolvable, problems P Is it reasonable to suppose the race has subsisted six thousand years, and, as many of you would fain persuade us, much longer, on this globe, with these problems unsolved P Is it true that no light has ever dawned on our origin and destiny, that we are placed here with darkness behind us, darkness before us, and darkness over.
