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, Historical, and Miscellaneous Essays, Vol. 2 of 6: With a Memoir and Index No attempt has been made to remodel any of the pieces which are contained in this volume. Even the criticism on Milton, which was written when the author was fresh from college, and which contains scarcely a paragraph such as his matured judgment approves, still remains overloaded with gaudy and ungraceful ornament. The blemishes which have been removed were, for the most part, blemishes caused by unavoidable haste. The author has sometimes, like other contributors to periodical works, been under the necessity of writing at a distance from all books and from all advisers; of trusting to his memory for facts, dates, and quotations; and of sending manuscripts to the post without reading them over. What he has composed thus rapidly has often been as rapidly 'printed. His object has been that every Essay should now appear as it probably would have appeared when 'it was first published, if he had then been allowed an additional day or two to revise the proof-sheets, with the assistance of a good library.
