I have particular reference to the opinions expressed on the subject of Ignorance. I have no doubt that I may have occasionally attributed to him sentiments which are really my own on the other hand, I suspect that some views that I have set down as my own may have been unconsciously derived from him. Of so elusive a personality it is not always possible to give a consistent account. To my mind the Gentle Reader is the most agreeable of companions, and to make his acquaintance is one of the pleasures of life. If in the following pages I begin by admitting that there is much to be said in behalf of the popular notion that the Gentle Reader no longer exists, let this pass simply as an evidence of my decent respect for the opinion of mankind.

These are things the proof of which must not be pushed to extreme lengths.īut this admission does not in the least interfere with the habitual current of his thoughts, or cool the ardor of his loyalty.
