    CONSTANCE NNVDEN AND,., HYLO-IDEALISM B Critical BY E. COBHAM BREWEll LL.D. Author of “ Dictionary of Phrase and Fable; ” '•'‘The Header’s Hand-Book “ Historical Note-Book^'’ <&c. ANNOTATED BY B. LEWINS M.D. “ It is with nations as with individuals. In tiain^uil moods and peaceable times we are (|uite practical ; facts only and cool common- sense [?] are then in fashion. But let the winds of passion swell and men begin to generalize, to connect l)y remotest analogies, to express the most univer.sal positions of reason in the most glowing figures of fancy; in short, to feel si>ecial truths and mere facts as poor, narrow and incommensurate with their feelings. ... At the commencement of the French Revolution, in the remotest villages every tongue was employed in echoing and enforcing the almost geometrical al)stractions of the physiocratic politicians and economists.”—Coleridge’s Statesman’s Manual.
