Anotace knihy

Excerpt from The Posthumous Papers of the Pickwick Club It has been Observed of Mr. Pickwick, that there is a decided change in his character, as these pages proceed, and that he becomes more good and more sensible. I do not think this change will appear forced or unnatural to my readers, if they will reżect that in real life the peculiarities and Oddities of a man who has anything whimsical about him, generally impress us first, and that it is not until we are better acquainted with him that we usually begin to look below these superficial traits, and to know the better part of him. Lest there should be any well-intentioned persons who do not perceive the difference (as some such could not, when old mortality was newly published), between religion and the cant Of religion, piety and the pretence of piety, a humble reverence for the great truths of Scripture and an audacious and offensive obtrusion of its letter and not its spirit in the commonest dissensions and meanest affairs of life, to the extraordinary confusion Of ignorant minds, let them understand that it is always the latter, and never the former, which is satirized here. Further, that the latter is here satirized as being, according to all experience, inconsistent with the former, impossible of union with it, and one of the most evil and mischievous falsehoods existent in society - whether it establish its head-quarters, for the time being, in Exeter Hall, or Ebenezer Chapel, or both. It may appear unnecessary to Offer a word Of Observation on so plain a head. But it is never out Of season to protest against that coarse familiarity with sacred things which is busy on the lip, and idle in the heart; or against the con founding Of Christianity with any class of persons who, in the words Of swift, have just enough religion to make them hate, and not enough to make them love, one another.
