Note 58 — LECTURE I. NECESSITY FOR A PROPER COMPARISON OF THE TWO RELIGIONS.
Reading edition
“Nations,” says Professor Goldwin Smith, “redeem each other. They preserve for each other principles, truths, and hopes, and aspirations which, committed to the keeping of one, might become extinct for ever. They thus not only raise each other again when fallen, but they prevent each other from falling.”—Lectures on the Study of History, delivered in Oxford 1859-61, p. 71.
