Excerpt from The State in Its Relations With the Church, Vol. 2 of 2

1. Thus far I have pursued the path of abstract reasoning, and endeavoured to examine some of the moral laws of the connection between the Church and the State, with the aid of occasional illustrations from events. I now come to follow, with more of detail, and with an attempt at method, the line of historical development; and by exhibiting, at least in a rude sketch, the actual course of the principle of national religion, since it has approached to its critical periods, in our own country, to pave that way which ought to join the region of theory with the arena of practical life.
