Opinions, and in especial opinions on morals, social matters, or metaphysical subjects, acquire, like the sticks in the fable, a prodigious power, when a number of people holdine them in com- fa^^w lï^on once associate, which is out of all relation to the intrinsic value of the opinions themselves. Novalis said : ** My faith gained an infinite value in my eyes the moment I saw it shared by someone else." The psy- chology of that remark is just ; it calls attention to a dangerous illusion agains...t which precaution should be taken ; for in a certain state of the emotions it is easier for two people, and even for a thousand, to make mistakes than for any one of them separately. Science has its enthusiasts, and also its fanatics, and might have at need its advocates of intolerance and violence. Happily it carries the remedy for all this with it ; increase science, and it becomes the very principle of toler- ance, for the greatest science is best aware of its own limits. While distinguished minds will thus associate and carry on their labours and speculations in common, men who are AMooUtion fbr ^^cupied rather with manual labour will associate purpowiof propik- for the communication of their more or less vague, ^'^ more or less irreflective beliefs, which, however, will be increasingly free from all element of the supernatural as instruction spreads among the people.
