Coningsby, or The New Generation

In considering the Tory scheme, the author recognised in the CHURCH the moat powerful agent in the previous development of England, and the most efficient means of that renovation of the national spirit at which he aimed- The Church is a sacred corporation for the promulgation and maintenance in Europe of certain A sian principles, which, although local in their birth, are of divine origin, and of universal and eternal application. In asserting the paramount character of the ecclesiastical polity and the majesty of the theocratic principle, it became necessary to ascend to the origin of the Christian Church, and to meet in a spirit worthy of a critical and comparatively enlightened age, the position of the descendants of that race who were the founders of Christianity. The modern Jews had long laboured under the odium and stigma of mediaeval malevolence. In the dark ages, when history was unknown, the passions of societies, undisturbed by traditionary experience, were strong, and their convictions, unmitigated by criticism, were necessarily fanatical. The Jews were looked upon in the middle ages as an accursed race, the enemies of Grod and man, the especial foes of Christianity.
