ABSTRACT
The dispute which occupied the preceding Chapter was not the only instance of the triumph of manly sense and sound principle over sophistry, declamation, and hypocrisy. Conscious of his advantage, Mr. Powerscourt at every opportunity pursued infidelity into its retreats of falsehood. He exposed the credulity of disbelief, the inconsistency of scepticism, and the inconclusive futility of every argument which dared to set up Nature in opposition to its Author. /
