Excerpt from The Connection Between the Sacred Writings and the Literature of Jewish and Heathen Authors, Vol. 1 of 2: Particularly That of the Classical Ages, Illustrated, Principally With a View to Evidence in Confirmation of the Truth of Revealed Religion
From a superficial view of that system of education which is generally established in this country, an opinion has been sometimes entertained, that heathen literature occupies too large a portion of time. This opinion seems to have originated in an erroneous per suasion, that the attention of the classical student is directed to the works of Pagan antiquity, solely, with a view to the acqui sitiou of languages, or to the attainment of that knowledge which is calculated merely to improve the taste, and to furnish amusement for the leisure hours of life.
