Excerpt from The Apocalypse: With Notes and Reflections There is no book which we are so invited to read as the Apocalypse, and that with a blessing attached, "Blessed is he that readeth." And perhaps it might with humility be suggested whether the unearthly beauty of this book, its divine simplicity and pathos, the wonderful arrangement of its parts, its deep and hidden analogies, its secret references to all the other Scriptures, and to different parts of itself, the poetical imagery and painting, challenging admiration and setting below it all the works of worldly genius, - whether all these things may not be intended to arrest our otherwise unwilling attention to matters so obscure and mysterious, subjects for the most part awful and sad, and truths from which our nature recoils.
