My remembrance too of the conversation, when a sort of envious wish came over me for the same power that he had of diving into the history of the past, induces me to believe that it may afford you some amusement, and some instruction, if we go together this evening through that same Bible, and search out the various allusions to our Art found within it. They are not perhaps many, nor are they singly of much value; but if collected and bound together they may, not improbably, like the old man's bundle of sticks, gain strength by the conjunction, and assume a more important as well as more distinct character. I may as well tell you at once that we must make use of every mention made, whether...
