“Oh about Reinhard's memoirs—did you, dear "Minister" ever read them for I am going to quote from them for some time— So if you have not read them do so and particy Letter IX and noting what is said therein of the method we should take in examining revelation give me your opinion thereon— Observe the valuable results of his six years patient industry, admire that truly German spirit which produces fruits of such perfect ripeness, those habits of patient investigation, that freedom of spirit joined with candour and humility— [...] Read it and see if it does not affect you as it does me”
