The name spirit of God is one that occurs very often in the Bible from its first page to its last, and in many different con nections, so that it is not always easy to determine what is meant by it. The words in the original languages rendered spirit in English mean primarily wind or breath and like similar words in most languages, are used in a figurative sense to denote the soul or mind of man. The breath that is in his nostrils, that never ceases to respire as long as there is life in the body, and that forms in articulate sounds the expression of his thoughts and feelings, is taken to represent the life itself or the thinking self-conscious I, that he feels himself to be. In like manner, the phrase spirit of God is sometimes used for the life that is in God, or God himself as a spiritual being. In ps. Cxxxix. 7, Whither shall I go from thy spirit?

The statements and documents with which the reader is here presented will also tend, it is to be hoped, to expose the mistakes of some late writers, who seem to have visited these States under the in?u ence of strong prejudices and preconceived opinions. Though the author travelled wholly free, as he thinks, from any such biases, and with an earnest desire to inform himself aright as to the matters to which he directed his attention, he cannot but be sensible that a stranger must occasionally fall into errors when writing of a country of such vast extent, where the customs Of the people, and many of the institutions, not only differ essentially from those with which he has previously been acquainted, but are in fact very different in the United States themselves.
