Double Narrative of Creation in Genesis
Piofesior J. W. Gibbs, of Yale College

has contributed to the New Knglnttder ur

that tho beginning ot jOeitesi* contains lw<
accounts of the Creation; the one oxi< iulit.'
to the third verse of chapter second, inclu
sivo; nod tlie other to the end of chapte
third. The lir>t section, according to tliii
division, has a visible unity, it being tin
history of seven successive days. The aecotu
section has also an unity of its own. Tin
beginning and end of it both refer to tin
Garden of Eden. TIio second section lias i
distinct superscript".;;?*, Gen. 2: 4. Coiupan
similar superscriptions, Gen. Q: 1 20: 1 11
10 30: 1: hut see also Gen. 10: 20, 31, 32
30: 30 P? 72: 20. Soinetimos we fint
double lilies. See Gen X: xxxvi. In tin
first section the Deity is called ?lofum (God
thirty-five limes, and by no other name. It
the second section he is called Jehovah Elo
him (Lord God) nineteen times, and by m
olucr name, whero the writer speaks in blown
person. Tboro arc throe instances it
which the woman or serpent speaks, atu
the Deity is called Klohim% Gen. 3 1:3 5.
The Professor judges that the writer o
the tiret section had digested plans befort
him, and lie notes rylhmus and uniformity
iu the construction of his sentences, contrast
i:ig with the more simple and artle-s slyh
of the second section. The writer of sec
end, often finds occasion to go back, in or
der to mention circumstances which lie liar
omitted in their proper place. After noti
cio.g the formation of man, and being abou
to place him iu the Garden of Eden, In
goes back to describe the planting and lo
cation of that garden, chap. 2: 8 15. Mai
is placed in Eden, and the tcinp'Htiou is a
hand; the sacred penman goes hack lo no

1 many years.
It is a mistake, however,* to regard ibis
1 as a personal triumph of Napoleon, due 00
Iv to 11 is sagacity and far-seeing policy. It
i< true that by his alliance with England
r and the Russian war, lie triads Europe fors
get, or setm to forget, the Usurper iu the
. Emperor, and, without danger to himself,
gave France what she wan tod and expect"
ed from the successor of Napoloon I, isame12
ly, military glory, and a powerful position
* iu the family of nations. Rut the war once
1 concluded, and all the advantages of the
alliance obtained, it depotided, uot upon
j Napoleon, but upon the feelings and interests
of the French people, whether the aliiI*
nnce should he continued. It is not forgot'
ten by France how sorely she was bumbled
' and slighted by England in the Syrian affair,
under Louis Philippe; and had Louia
' Napoleon, in the case of the Uanubisut
Principalities, consented to yield again to
! England, the French p?\?pJe would have regarded
it as a second humiliation, and a
j. sacrifice of the national honor. For the
preservation of the entente cordials, Louis
' Philippe made many and great sacrifioee,
1 and the consequence was, that discontent
and irritation were general among the peo2
pie, at tho disregard of their interests for
the profit of England, and the personal ad,
vantage of their Sovereign. Louis Napoleon
cannot afford to expose himself to tit?
same reproach. He hears those who are
the warmest friends of the alliance with
England insisting that the feelings and
wants of their nation must be duly regard 1
ed, as an essential condition to its continunnco;
and he knows that among the roost
prominent of bis statesmen, and the wartn'
est Bonnpartists, civil and military, there U
s n powerful party who consider an alliance
with "perfidious Albion," contrary to the ^
interests of Fiuro;o, and who regard Russia
us the safer and ruore natural allv of iha
itwo. Knowing ibis, Louis Napoleon is loo
astute to lei it appear for a moment that
^ ho is willing to make any national sacrifice ? . I
for the advantage of England. His Turkish
policy, therefore, is not so much hi*
j own, as the expression of what he is assured
, is ;hc national will. Lie is however, to all _ J
| appearance, really anxious to continue the
English alliance u* long as possible. To it
j is duo ibo recognition of the nephew of
j the "Corstcan bandit" on a fooling of equal'
lily with the legitimate sovereigns of Eu'
rope, and a breach with England wOU't'
necessarily occasion the hostility of the insj'.iiiy
of those Slates which folio* her j?olil
ev for moral or luateiinl reasons, and give
increased strength mo i conMslettey to tbt
various parlies in Finnoo which are couKtautlV
oppuysl to Nujmleoo. Were he
j. wilting to 'dare the enmity of England, and
accept the consequences, he would not have
gi?ue to Osborue in j>eison, hut would have
j allowed free scope to the pro Kussiart rrymi
pathios of his foreign Minister, Count \Va*
