" In the beginning man had the word, and that word was from God." Thus the divine, Promethean spark in the human breast, when, more accurately described and expressed in less figurative language, springs from the word originally communicated or intrusted to man, as that wherein consist his peculiar nature, his intellectual dignity, and his high destination-The preg- uant expression borrowed above from the New Testament, on the mystery and internal nature of God, may, with some variation, and bating, as is evident, the immense distance between the creature and the Creator, be applied to man and his primitive condition; and may serve as a superscription or introduction to primitive history in the following terms: "In the beginning man had the word, and that word was from God- and out of the living power communicated to man in and by that word, came the light of his existence."-This is at least the divine foundation of all history-it falls not properly within the domain of history, but is anterior to it. To this position the state of nature among savages forms no valid objection; for that this was the really original condition of mankind is by no means proved, and is arbitrarily assumed; nay, on the contrary, the savage state must be looked upon as a state of degeneracy and degradation-consequently not as the first, but as the second, phenomenon in human history-as something which, as it has resulted from this second step in man's progress, must be'regarded as of a later origin.
