Excerpt from The Princeton Review, Vol. 22: April, 1850 At this time the attention of the people was so much awake that they were never weary of hearing. They, says Blair, hung upon us, still desirous to hear more. No day was long enough, no room was large enough. Then said I, in the hearing of many, Our tide has run so high, that there will be an ebb. No doubt a restraint is near, our trials are hastening on.' 186 Robert Blair. [april, In the revival of religion which was now so remarkable in the north of Ireland, every thing, for a while, was conducted with solemnity and good. Order, until, ' after it had gone on for some time, a number of persons became the subjects of swoon ing and various bodily agitations, which our author thinks was a device of Satan to bring the work into discredit, for upon careful examination, the persons thus affected appeared to be ignorant of the doctrines of religion, or to have no just views of truth during the time that they were the sub jects of these bodily agitations. The ministers, therefore, did not encourage these extraordinary effects on the body, as any sign of true religion, but rather discouraged them, although some truly pious persons were also affected in this manner.
