Σελίδα 111 - Fraser, a sort of resum& of the present question as the result of what I have thought, read, and observed here about it. I am very well, and only wish I was not so lazy ; but I hope and believe one is less so from forty to fifty, if one lives, than at any other time of life. The loss of youth ought to operate as a spur to one to live more by the head, when one can live less by the body. Have you seen Mill's book on Liberty ? It is worth reading attentively, being one of the few books that inculcate...
Σελίδα 117 - You and Clough are, I believe, the two people I in my heart care most to please by what I write. Clough (for a wonder) is this time satisfied, even delighted, ' with one or two insignificant exceptions,
Σελίδα 10 - How plain it is now, though an attention to the comparative literatures for the last fifty years might have instructed any one of it, that England is in a certain sense far behind the Continent. In conversation, in the newspapers, one is so struck with the fact of the utter insensibility, one may say, of people to the number of ideas and schemes now ventilated on the Continent...
