Probably the vehement praise of Mr Swinburne, whom I do not know and which astonished me as much as any one, made critics look out for signs, in my writings, of a crusade against religion. Such a crusade I have never had any wish for, though no one feels more strongly than I do how much which to the mass of our religionists seems certain and stable in the popular religion, is in fact transitory and precarious...”, 2 sides 8vo., The Athenaeum Club headed paper, 15th November
