Book excerpt: Excerpt from Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine, Vol. 35: January-June, 1834 One strong and unfailing test of Jacobinism in all lands, is its vul rity of soul. Nothing, says Bur e, is more certain, than that our man ners, our civilisation, and ail the good things which are connected with manners and with civilisation, have, in this European World of ours, for ages depended upon two princi ples and were, indeed, the result of both combined, the spirit of a eu tleman and the spirit of religion. He nobility and the clergy, the one by patronage, the other by profession, kept learnin in existence, even in the midst 0 arms and confusions, and while Governments were rather in their causes than formed. Learn ing paid back what it received, to nobility and the priesthood; and paid it with usury, by enlarging their 1deas and by furnishing their minds. Happy, if learning, not debauched by ambition, had been satisfied to continue the instructor, and not aspired to be the master! Along with its natural protectors and guar dians, learnin will be cast into the mire, and tro den down under the hoofs of a swinish multitude.
