He prompts you what to say, and then listens to you, and praises you, and encourages you. He bids you mount aloft. He shows you how to become as gods. Then he laughs and jokes with you, and gets intimate with you ; he takes your hand, and gets his fingers between yours, and grasps them, and then you are his. — Dis- cussions and ArgummtSy ed. 1888, pp. 59-61 (1838). l^awIe^0e and Cbatactet. A DISTINGUISHED Conservative statesman tells us from the town-hall of Tamworth that "in becoming wiser a m...an will become better ; " meaning by wiser more conversant with the facts and theories of physical science ; and that such a man will " rise at once in the scale of intellectual and moral existence. " " That, " he adds, " is my belief. " He avows, also, that the fortunate individual whom he is describing, by being "accustomed to such contemplations, will feel the moral dignity of his nature exalted, " He speaks also of physical knowledge as " being the means of useful occupation and rational recreation ; * ' of " the pleasures of knowledge " superseding " the indulgence of sensual appetite, " and of its " contributing to the intellectual and moral improvement of the community." Accordingly, he very consistently wishes it to be set before " the female as well as the male portion of the population ; " otherwise, as he truly observes, " great injustice would be done to the well-educated and vir- tuous " women of the place.
