ABSTRACT
As mere nationality has too often degenerated into cold selfishness, and has allied itself with some of the lowest prejudices of fallen nature, it is gratifying to every noble and philanthropic mind to see anything like progress towards that more pure and lofty patriotism, which looks on country and home as parts only of a great whole; and sighs for the intellectual, social, and moral advancement of the great family of man. It is, beyond all reasonable doubt, asserted in the text; – for God ‘hath made of one blood all nations of men, for to dwell on all the face of the earth.’ Of its kind, it will be a spectacle imposing and grand beyond what has ever been witnessed in the history of the world. The christians of England should struggle earnestly to do good to those foreigners, into whose society they may be thrown.
