David Brewster Quote

Interesting as has been the past history of our race, - engrossing as must ever be the present, - the future, more exciting still, mingles itself with every thought and sentiment, and casts its beams of hope, or its shadows of fear, over the stage both of active and contemplative life.


More Worlds Than One: The Creed of the Philosopher and the Hope of, the Christian, Chapter I (p. 8), Chatto & Windus. 1876
