PREFACE.
“Every man has his own style, as he has his own nose; and it is
neither polite nor Christian to rally an honest man about his nose,
however singular it may be. How can I help it that my style is not
different? That there is no affectation in it, I am very certain.”
Lessing.

“Yea, I take myself to witness,
That I have loved no darkness,
Sophisticated no truth,
Nursed no delusion,
Allowed no fear.”
Matthew Arnold.
