(Excerpt from Homer: An Address Delivered Before the Belle...)
Excerpt from Homer: An Address Delivered Before the Belles Lettres and Union Philosophical Societies of Dickinson College, July, 11th, 1855 On the spacious poetic arena of the two great worlds of ancient and modern literature, there stand two transcendent spirits of kindred genius rivals to each other - wby all others unrivalled homer and shakspeaee. Rivals, I say, and yet they stand at centuries of distance, unknown and unenvying each other. _i pronounce them of kin dred genius. No matter that one is epic, and the other dramatic. N o 'matter that one spoke the almost miraculous Greek and the other magically moulded the plastic English. N o matter that one trod the luxuriant soil of the summery Ionia; and the other hardened amid the Hyperborean blasts of the.rugged Britannia. Beneath' all the external accidents of form, language and clime, there is the created oneness of kindred genius and coequal great~ ness. There they stand - 4that wondrous -two - u the peerless pair - the highest masters in the highest walks Of aesthetic art and power - two greatest of the sons of genius-l - two truest geniuses of the sons of men.

Excerpt from Methodist Quarterly Review, 1878, Vol. 60 From Mohammed we turn to the Koran. As intimated, they mutually explain each other. From the Koran, too, we are justified in drawing d priori inference as to the probable effects Of Islam on the world. A book that molds the faith and life of one hundred and fifty millions of souls deserves our study. Mohammed was forty years old when his revelations began.

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Daniel Denison Whedon on March 20, 1808 was born in Onondaga, N. Y. , the son of Daniel and Clarissa (Root) Whedon, and a descendant of Thomas Whedon who came to New Haven, Connecticut, from England in 1657 and later moved to Branford. The younger Daniel was a dreamy, absent-minded boy, more interested in books than in anything else.
Hoping that he would become a lawyer, his father had him prepared for college by Oliver C. Grosvenor of Rome, N. Y. , and at the age of eighteen he entered the junior class of Hamilton College, where he was graduated in 1828. He then studied law with Judge Chapin of Rochester and with Alanson Bennett of Rome. In the latter place he was converted under the preaching of Charles G. Finney, and joined the Methodist Church.
In 1830 he was appointed teacher of Greek and mental philosophy in the Oneida Conference Seminary at Cazenovia, N. Y. The following year he returned to Hamilton College as a tutor and in 1833 became professor of ancient languages and literature at Wesleyan College, Middletown, Connecticut, in which capacity he served for ten years. In 1834 he was admitted on trial to the New York Conference and in due course was ordained deacon and elder. While at Wesleyan, his taste for controversy, manifested throughout his whole career, began to find expression. In articles published in Zion's Herald in 1835, in answer to those of Orange Scott, Whedon opposed the radical abolitionist movement in the Methodist Church, and in reply to "An Appeal to the Members of the New England and New Hampshire Conferences" issued by the abolitionists, he wrote "A Counter Appeal ", signed by Wilbur Fisk and other conservatives. Becoming weary of teaching, he relinquished his professorship in 1843 and became pastor of the Methodist Church in Pittsfield, Massachussets, and in 1845 of the church in Rensselaerville, N. Y. He was not well fitted for the pastorate, however, for he was not a great preacher nor a man of the people; he lacked voice, training, and emotional quality. Accordingly, when, in 1845, he received a call to the chair of logic, rhetoric, and philosophy of history at the University of Michigan, he returned to teaching. He took a prominent part in the affairs of the institution; in the classroom, according to a former pupil, "his commanding presence, imperative logic and sesquipedalia verba, always used with mathematical precision, hammered truth into us and clinched it. " Though willing to apologize for the presence of slavery, he strenuously opposed the extension of it, and because of his utterances and internal dissensions in the college, he was virtually dismissed in December 1851. The following year he opened a school in Ravenswood, Long Island, but increasing deafness soon caused him to abandon the enterprise. After serving churches in New York City and Jamaica, N. Y. , in 1856 he was elected editor of the Methodist Quarterly Review, which position he held for the next twenty-eight years. In 1852 he had published Public Addresses Collegiate and Popular. He died at the summer home of a son in Atlantic City, N. J.
A vigorous defender of Wesleyan Arminianism, he completed in 1864 a work entitled The Freedom of the Will as a Basis of Human Responsibility and a Divine Government Elucidated and Maintained in Its Issue with the Necessitarian Theories of Hobbes, Edwards, the Princeton Essayists, and Other Leading Advocates. While this work had extensive recognition in scholastic circles, Whedon became most widely known through the popular commentaries on the Bible which bear his name. The five volumes on the New Testament appeared between 1860 and 1880. The greater part of them he wrote himself, but his nephew, D. A. Whedon, collaborated in the later ones. Four volumes of those on the Old Testament were issued under Whedon's editorial supervision before his death. Selections from his contributions to the Methodist Quarterly Review, and some from other periodicals, appear in Essays, Reviews, and Discourses (1887) and Statements: Theological and Critical (1887) edited by his son and his nephew, J. S. and D. A. Whedon.
