untaught

It is usually unbearably painful to read a book by an author who knows way less than you do, unless the book is a novel.

Note, to-day, an instructive, curious spectacle and conflict. Science, (twin, in its fields, of Democracy in its)__cience, testing absolutely all thoughts, all works, has already burst well upon the world__ sun, mounting, most illuminating, most glorious__urely never again to set. But against it, deeply entrench'd, holding possession, yet remains, (not only through the churches and schools, but by imaginative literature, and unregenerate poetry,) the fossil theology of the mythic-materialistic, superstitious, untaught and credulous, fable-loving, primitive ages of humanity.
