Excerpt from Critical, Historical and Miscellaneous Essays, Vol. 2 of 6 Nothing is more amusing or instructive than to ob serve the manner in which people who think themselves wiser than all the rest Of the world fall into snares which the simple good sense of their neighbours detects and avoids. It is one of the principal tenets of the Utilitarians that sentiment and eloquence serve only to impede the pursuit of truth. They therefore affect a quakerly plainness, or rather a cynical negligence and impurity, of style. The strongest arguments, when clothed in brilliant language, seem to them so much wordy nonsense. In the mean time they surren der their understandings, with a facility found in no other party, to the meanest and most abject sophisms, provided those sophisms come before them disguised with the externals of demonstration. They do not seem to know that logic has its illusions as well as rhet orie, that a fallacy may lurk in a syllogism as well as in a metaphor.

Excerpt from Critical and Miscellaneous Essays, Vol. 3 of 7: Collected and Republished, (First Time, 1839; Final, 1869) For the rest, as to the maxim, often enough inculcated on us, that close inspection will abate our admiration, that only the obscure can be sublime, let us put small faith in it. Here, as in other provinces, it is not knowledge, but a little knowl edge, that puffeth up, and for wonder at the thing known sub stitutes mere wonder at the knower thereof to a sciolist the starry heavens revolving in dead mechanism may be less than a Jacob's vision; but to the Newton they are more; for the same God still dwells enthroned there, and holy Influences, like Angels, still ascend and descend; and this clearer vision of a little but renders the remaining mystery the deeper and more divine. SO likewise is it with true Spiritual greatness. On the whole, that theory of no man being a hero to his valet, carries us but a little way into the real nature of the case. With a superficial meaning which is plain enough, it essentially holds good only of such heroes as are false, or else of such valets as are too genuine, as are Shoulder-knotted and brass-lacquered in soul as well as in body: of other sorts it does not hold. Milton was still a hero to the good Elwood. But we dwell not on that mean doctrine, which, true or false.

We may say, it holds no less in moral, intellectual, political, poetical, than in merely cor poreal therapeutics; that wherever, or in what shape so ever, powers of the sort which can be named vital are at work, herein lies the test of their working right or working wrong.

Excerpt from Critical and Miscellaneous Essays, Vol. 2 Therefore it is right that some person or persons should possess political power. That is to say, some person or persons must have a right to political power. It is because men are not in the habit of con sidering what the end of government is, that Catholic disabilities and Jewish disabilities have been suffered to exist so long. We hear of essentially Protestant governments and essentially Christian governments, words which mean just as much as essentially Pro testant cookery, or essentially Christian horseman ship. Government exists for the purpose of keeping the peace, for the purpose Of compelling us to settle our disputes by arbitration instead of settling them by blows, for the purpose Of compelling us to supply our wants by industry instead Of supplying them by rapine. This is the only operation for which the machinery of government is peculiarly adapted, the only operation which wise governments ever propose to themselves as their chief object. If there is any class Of people who are not interested, or who do not think themselves interested, in the security Of pro perty and the maintenance of order, that class ought to have no share Of the powers which exist for the purpose Of securing property and maintaining order. But why a man should be less fit to exercise those powers because he wears a beard, because he does not eat ham, because he goes to the synagogue on Saturdays instead Of going to the church on Sun days, 'we cannot conceive.

Serious business was a trifle to him, and trifles were his serious business. To chat with blue stockings, to write little copies of complimentary verses on little occasions, to superintend a private press, to preserve from natural decay the perishable topics of Ranela h and 'vhite's, to record divorces and bets, Miss Chu leigh's absurdities and George Selwyn's good sayings, to decorate a grotesque house with pie-crust battlements, to procure rare engravings and antique chimney-boards, to mate odd gaunt lets, to lay out a maze of walks within five acres of ground.

Excerpt from Critical and Miscellaneous Essays, Vol. 2 of 4: Collected and Republished Friedrich von Hardenberg, better known in Literature by the pseudonym Novalis, ' was born on the 2nd of May 1772, at a country residence of his family in the Grafschaft of Mansfeld, in Saxony. His father, who had been a soldier in youth, and still retained a liking for that profession, was at this time Director Of the Saxon Salt-works; an Office of some considerable trust and dignity. Tieck says, he was a vigor ous, unweariedly active man, of open, resolute character, a true German. His religious feelings made him a member Of the Hermhut Communion yet his disposition continued gay, frank, rugged and downright.' The mother also was distin guished for her worth; 'a pattern of noble piety and Christian mildness'; virtues which her subsequent life gave Opportunity enough for exercising.
