SovE 10.199 8 It is the sturdiest prejudice in the

DSA 1.144 9 [Man] is religious.
LT 1.263 17 ...somebody shocked a circle of friends of
order here in
Boston, who supposed that our people were identified with their
religious
denominations, by declaring that an eloquent man...would be ordained at
once in one of our metropolitan churches.
LT 1.273 13 Fain [the wealthy man] would have the name
to be religious;...
LT 1.273 17 What does [the wealthy man]...but
resolve...to find himself out
some factor, to whose care and credit he may commit the whole managing
of his religious affairs;...
LT 1.279 21 ...magnifying the importance of that wrong,
[men] fancy that
if that abuse were redressed all would go well, and they fill the land
with
clamor to correct it. Hence the missionary, and other religious
efforts.
LT 1.280 23 Give the slave the least elevation of
religious sentiment, and
he is no slave;...
Con 1.321 9 If you do not value the Sabbath, or other
religious institutions, give yourself no concern about maintaining
them.
Tran 1.340 26 ...many intelligent and religious persons
withdraw
themselves from the common labors and competitions of the market and
the
caucus...
Tran 1.344 2 ...[Transcendentalists] do not wish, as
they are sincere and
religious, to gratify any mere curiosity which you may entertain.
Tran 1.348 1 ...[Transcendentalists] do not willingly
share in the public
charities, in the public religious rites...
Tran 1.354 23 In the eternal trinity of Truth,
Goodness, and Beauty... [Transcendentalists] prefer to make Beauty the
sign and head. Something of
the same taste is observable in all the moral movements of the time, in
the
religious and benevolent enterprises.
YA 1.367 16 ...sculpture, painting, and religious and
civil architecture have
become effete...
YA 1.394 1 In the East, where the religious sentiment
comes in to the
support of the aristocracy...there is a grain of sweetness in the
tyranny;...
Hist 2.15 6 ...we have [the Greek national mind
expressed] once again in
sculpture...a multitude of forms...like votaries performing some
religious
dance before the gods...
Hist 2.21 26 Agriculture [in Asia and Africa]...was a
religious injunction, because of the perils of the state from nomadism.
Hist 2.22 15 Sacred cities, to which a periodical
religious pilgrimage was
enjoined...were the check on the old rovers;...

learned and civil
institutions as guards of property...
Comp 2.95 18 I find a similar base tone in the popular
religious works of
the day...
SL 2.151 8 The scholar...follows some giddy girl, not
yet taught by
religious passion to know the noble woman with all that is serene,
oracular
and beautiful in her soul.
SL 2.162 1 The object of the man...is...to suffer the
law to traverse his
whole being without obstruction, so that on what point soever of his
doing
your eye falls it shall report truly of his character, whether it be
his diet...his
religious forms...
Lov1 2.178 1 [The lover] is a new man, with...a
religious solemnity of
character and aims.
Fdsp 2.203 5 We cover up our thought from [our

Fdsp 2.209 12 Friendship demands a religious treatment.
Hsm1 2.248 21 Each of [Plutarch's] Lives is a
refutation to the
despondency and cowardice of our religious and political theorists.

OS 2.288 16 ...genius is religious.
OS 2.296 14 [The soul] is not called religious, but it
is innocent.
Cir 2.304 10 ...it is the inert effort of each thought,
having formed itself
into a circular wave of circumstance,--as for instance...a religious
rite,--to
heap itself on that ridge...
Cir 2.319 13 Infancy, youth, receptive, aspiring, with
religious eye looking

fanatic...whose
balance is lost by the exaggeration of a single topic.
Art1 2.358 11 The reference of all production at last
to an aboriginal Power
explains the traits common to all works of the highest art...that they
restore

Art1 2.368 14 Proceeding from a religious heart
[genius] will raise to a
divine use the railroad...
Pt1 3.15 8 No wonder then, if these waters be so deep,
that we hover over
them with a religious regard.
Pt1 3.35 13 ...all religious error consisted in making
the symbol too stark
and solid...
Exp 3.51 12 What cheer can the religious sentiment
yield, when that is
suspected to be secretly dependent on the seasons of the year...
Exp 3.70 22 That which proceeds in succession might be
remembered, but
that which is coexistent, or ejaculated from a deeper cause, as yet far
from
being conscious, knows not its own tendency. So is it with us, now
sceptical or without unity, because immersed in forms and effects all
seeming to be of equal yet hostile value, and now religious, whilst in
the
reception of spiritual law.
Mrs1 3.129 26 We sometimes meet men under some strong
moral
influence, as a patriotic, a literary, a religious movement, and feel
that the
moral sentiment rules man and nature.
Mrs1 3.130 11 ...come from year to year and see how
permanent [the
distinction of caste or fashion] is, in this Boston or New York life of
man... ... Here are associations whose ties go over and under and

religious sentiment
of the present time accords better with it.

sects...degenerate into
personalities, or would inspire enthusiasm.
Pol1 3.209 27 The philosopher, the poet, or the

course wish to cast his vote with the democrat...

NER 3.251 9 [The observer of New England's] attention
must be
commanded by the signs that the Church, or religious party, is falling
from
the Church nominal...
NER 3.279 24 It is yet in all men's memory that, a few
years ago, the
liberal churches complained that the Calvinistic church denied to them
the
name of Christian. I think the complaint was confession: a religious
church
would not complain.
NER 3.279 25 A religious man...is not irritated by
wanting the sanction of
the Church...
PPh 4.49 11 The raptures of prayer and ecstasy of

SwM 4.97 19 In the chief examples of religious
illumination somewhat

him
queens, nobles, clergy...
SwM 4.100 27 The clergy interfered a little with the
importation and
publication of [Swedenborg's] religious works...
SwM 4.118 25 ...[Swedenborg's] profound mind admitted
the perilous
opinion, too frequent in religious history, that he was an abnormal
person...
SwM 4.124 11 That slow but commanding influence which

be excessive also...
ET1 5.12 19 I took advantage of a pause to say that

readers of all religious opinions in America...
ET4 5.48 18 Each religious sect has its physiognomy.
ET4 5.69 22 Lord Chief Justice Fortescue, in Henry
VI.'s time, says, The

feasts.

ET13 5.226 20 ...when wealth accrues to a chaplaincy, a

Imtl 8.329 8 A man of affairs is afraid to

those who have moulded the religious doctrines into some neat and
plausible system...
Dem1 10.26 3 It is wholly a false view to couple these
things [Animal
Magnetism, Mesmerism] in any manner with the religious nature and
sentiment...
Chr2 10.105 7 We use in our idlest poetry and discourse
the words Jove, Neptune, Mercury, as mere colors, and can hardly
believe that they had to
the lively Greek the anxious meaning which, in our towns, is given and
received in churches when our religious names are used...
Chr2 10.106 19 ...'t is incredible to us, if we look
into the religious books
of our grandfathers, how they held themselves in such a pinfold.
Chr2 10.110 19 The time will come, says Varnhagen von
Ense, when we

of

honestly, their polemics proceed out of a religious striving...
Chr2 10.112 6 The laws of old empires stood on the
religious convictions.
Chr2 10.112 23 Every age, says Varnhagen, has another

SovE 10.204 26 I will not now go into the metaphysics

in

departed
becomes more obvious in the least religious minds.
SovE 10.205 26 We delight in children because of that

marks that we are in a moment of transition;...
Prch 10.217 17 ...the mind, haughty with its sciences,

sentiment.
Prch 10.218 7 I see in those classes and those

profound
importance to politics and social life;...

into

insignificance of its
members and territory by its religious genius...

affected by these
errors in his understanding.
LLNE 10.336 24 The religious sentiment made nothing of
bulk or size, or

LLNE 10.342 1 ...the men of talent complained of the
want of point and
precision in this abstract and religious thinker [Alcott].
LLNE 10.361 12 ...impulse was the rule in the society

severe to say...an
impatience of the formal, routinary character of our educational,
religious, social and economical life in Massachusetts.
LLNE 10.363 13 [Charles Newcomb] was the Abbe or
spiritual father [of
Brook Farm], from his religious bias.
LLNE 10.366 10 It was very gently said [at Brook Farm]
that people on
whom beforehand all persons would put the utmost reliance were not
responsible. They saw the necessity that the work must be done, and did
it
not, and it of course fell to be done by the few religious workers.
CSC 10.375 25 If there was not parliamentary order [at
the Chardon Street
Convention], there was...assurance of that constitutional love for
religion
and religious liberty which...characterizes the inhabitants of this

America.

Middlesex
Yeoman.

old-school
people, without seeing that Milton and Young had a religious authority
in
their mind...
MMEm 10.417 9 [Mary Moody Emerson] was addressed and
offered
marriage by a man...whom she respected. The proposal gave her
pause...but
after consideration she refused it, I know not on what grounds: but a
few
allusions to it in her diary suggest that it was a religious act...
MMEm 10.417 11 ...[Mary Moody Emerson] could hardly
promise herself
sympathy in her religious abandonment with any but a rarely-found
partner.
MMEm 10.421 20 In a religious contemplative public [our
civilization] would have less outward variety, but simpler and grander
means;...
Thor 10.472 21 ...so much knowledge of Nature's secret
and genius few
others [than Thoreau] possessed; none in a more large and religious
synthesis.
Thor 10.477 8 [Thoreau's] thought makes all his poetry
a hymn to...the
Spirit which vivifies and controls his own:-I hearing get, who had but
ears,/ And sight, who had but eyes before;/ I moments live, who lived
but
years,/ And truth discern, who knew but learning's lore./ And still
more in
these religious lines...
Thor 10.477 22 ...the same isolation which belonged to
his original
thinking and living detached [Thoreau] from the social religious forms.
Carl 10.489 19 [Carlyle] has...the strong religious
tinge you sometimes
find in burly people.
Carl 10.496 19 ...Carlyle thinks that the only
religious act which a man
nowadays can securely perform is to wash himself well.
LS 11.12 16 It appears...in Christian history that the
disciples had very
early taken advantage of these impressive words of Christ [This do in
remembrance of me.] to hold religious meetings...
LS 11.13 3 ...[the disciples] were bound together by
the memory of Christ, and nothing could be more natural than...that
what was done with peculiar
propriety by them, his personal friends, with less propriety should
come to
be extended to their companions also. In this way religious feasts grew
up
among the early Christians.
LS 11.13 6 [Early Christian religious feasts] were
readily adopted by the
Jewish converts, who were familiar with religious feasts...
LS 11.14 8 To make [his friends'] enormity plainer,
[St. Paul] goes back to
the origin of this religious feast [the Lord's Supper] to show what
sort of
feast that was...
LS 11.18 4 ...I believe...that every effort to pay
religious homage to more
than one being goes to take away all right ideas.
LS 11.20 2 ...I choose that my remembrances of [Jesus]
should be pleasing, affecting, religious.
LS 11.22 23 ...the Almighty God was pleased to qualify
and send forth a
man to teach men...that only that life was religious which was
thoroughly
good;...
LS 11.24 22 As it is the prevailing opinion and feeling
in our religious
community that it is an indispensable part of the pastoral office to
administer this ordinance [the Lord's Supper], I am about to resign

HDC 11.82 23 Two religious societies, of differing
creed, dwell together [in Concord] in good understanding...
EWI 11.107 18 ...[the Quakers] were religious,

EWI 11.138 10 It is notorious that the political,
religious and social
schemes, with which the minds of men are now most occupied, have been
matured, or at least broached, in the free and daring discussions of
these
assemblies [on emancipation].
War 11.152 8 ...in the first dawnings of the religious
sentiment, that blends
itself with [savages'] passions...
War 11.152 11 Not only every tribe has war-gods,
religious festivals in
victory, but religious wars.
War 11.157 19 Early in the eleventh and twelfth
centuries, the Italian cities
had grown so populous and strong that they forced the rural nobility
to... come and reside in the towns. The popes...declared religious
jubilees...

heart, that not so is our learning...to be declared.
JBS 11.279 3 [John Brown] grew up a religious and manly
person...
TPar 11.285 23 ...[Theodore Parker's experiences] were
part of the history
of the civil and religious liberty of his times.
TPar 11.290 6 ...[Theodore Parker] insisted...that the

ordinary
city ambitions...the truth is not in you; and no love of religious
music...can
save you from the Satan which you are.
EPro 11.320 18 The government has assured itself of the

influence on the

state bigger
than I knew.
SMC 11.357 9 All sorts of men went to the [Civil]
war...men hitherto of
narrow opportunities of knowing the world, but well taught in the
grammar-schools. But perhaps in every one of these classes were
idealists, men who
went from a religious duty.
EdAd 11.392 14 ...this hour when the jangle of

constitution...
EdAd 11.392 16 ...this hour when the jangle of

SHC 11.429 13 [The committee] have thought that the

SHC 11.433 13 On the other side of the ridge [in Sleepy
Hollow
