Excerpt from The Monthly Review, Vol. 2: From May to August Inclusive, 1841

The chief fact in the history of such a man is his religion, just as it is of a nation's history. Not that by the term religion is meant the church-creed professed by the man, but the thing a man does practically believe (and this is often enough without asserting it to himself, much less to others) the thing a man does practically lay to heart, and know for certain, concerning his vital relations to this mysterious universe, and his duty and destiny there; that is in all cases the primary thing for him, and creatively determines all the rest. His religion, therefore, ma be mere scepticism and no religion: the manner it is in which e feels himself spiritually te lated to the unseen world or no-world.
