Excerpt from Illustrations of the Holy Scriptures, Vol. 1 of 3 The orientals first displayed the powerful and various ener gies of the human mind; first cultivated the social affections, and formed themselves into civil communities for their mu tual benefit; or listened to the solicitations of the turbulent passions, and engaged in the work of mutual destruction. Placed in the most favourable circumstances for scientific oh servations, they led the way in the acquisition of knowledge, which at once enlightened and corrupted the mind; and by a diligent and persevering application to the mechanical and li beral arts, ameliorated the condition of our family, by their numerous and invaluable productions. Almost every district exhibits the memorial of some great exploit; almost every town and village recals the remembrance of some important or singular occurrence. These are circumstances, that can scarcely fail to direct the eye of the man of letters, the student of hu man nature, and the Christian philanthropist, to the East.
