A. B. may be assured that the course of education pursued in every university is highly objectionable. The classics are bad enough as the effusion of heathen mind; but the books of the day on metaphysics, logic, ancient history, and physical science, not to speak of theology, are even worse, as emanating from nominal Christians, who are nevertheless tainted deeply with rationalism and Pantheism, if not open Atheism. There is a decided return to the naturalism of Aristotle, which bodes ill for those exposed to it. Sir Wm. Hamilton, Messrs. Mill, Grote, Dr. Donaldson, &c., will illustrate what I say.
