Excerpt from The British Critic, 1830, Vol. 7: Quarterly Theological Review and Ecclesiastical Record To us, these objections appear absolutely insurmountable. It is beyond the power of human ingenuity to overcome or to evade them. Nothing more than a simple statement of them can be necessary, to show how utterly fatal they are to the hypothesis we are examining. Here, therefore, we might reasonably make our stand, and spare ourselves the labour of further investigation; in the confidence, that, whatever may have been the success of former efforts to dispose of the difficulties presented by the won derful success of Mahomet, the present attempt is altogether in admissible. It would be better to leave the doubtful points of the subject unsettled to the end of time, rather than to explain them by a supposition, which forces the Almighty on our thoughts as, in some sort, the contriver and the patron of religious imposture.
