 APPENDIX 201 
 
PREFACE. 
 
 This work, while not requiring an acquaintance with 
 such, may be regarded as supplemental to all those 
 whose business is a generalization of the whole body of 
 our literature. From that wide and populous region it 
 selects for systematic study on the seminary plan (in- 
 volving a careful perusal of the masterpiece selected, 
 the consultation of printed authorities, and an essay- 
 statement of results, followed, in the class-room, by a 
 written critique and an oral discussion of the paper pre- 
 sented) the leading productions of those who have been 
 most prominent in the successive eras of our literary 
 history. 
 
 It will be seen that the division into periods according 
 to their predominant features is essentially that of the 
 author's ' Development of English Literature and Lan- 
 guage.' Each period is prefaced by references designed 
 to reveal the connection between the literature and the 
 temper of the times acting and reacting on each other, 
 and to show especially a writer's inspirations in their 
 relation to dominant events, opinions, and passions. 
 
X PREFACE. 
 
 Each writer is introduced by a schedule relating to his 
 individual position, his characteristics as an author and 
 a man. The compilations on his representative writing 
 or writings are disposed under the heads of ' Criticism ' 
 and (in the instances of Chaucer, Spenser, Shakspeare) 
 ' Sources.' 
 
 The sources of information will be found to be sug- 
 gestively as well as directly helpful, to set forth dissent- 
 ing as well as concordant views, each discussing the 
 subject from its own standpoint, supplying what another 
 omits, or correcting what another understates or over- 
 states, and thus leading, through an enforced comparison 
 and discrimination, to an intelligent familiarity with the 
 use of books. 
 
 It has been sought to make the lists as full as prac- 
 ticable, not because it is deemed necessary or advisable 
 to read all the autlioi'ities cited, but to comprise with 
 approximate certainty a sufficient number of available 
 references for those who may live at a distance from 
 large public libraries. 
 
 The subjects of investigation, it is believed, are emi- 
 , nently fitted not only to insure the requisite acquaintance 
 with literature, whether historically in tracing its de- 
 velopment or critically in analyzing its phenomena, but 
 to promote the ends of liberal education, — spherical 
 training and growth, the command and employment 
 of the faculties in general. They comprehend in the 
 choicest forms of expression all the great departments of 
 study, practical and speculative, — the Essay, the Drama, 
 the Novel, Criticism, History, Poetry, Oratory, Science, 
 
PREFACE. xi 
 
 Theology ; all tlie great interests of human life and cul- 
 ture, — taste and imagination, conscience and duty, virtue 
 and God, the present worth and the future destiny of 
 man. 
 
 Obviously the method carries with it important ad- 
 vantages. It takes no account of grammar or rhetoric 
 or philology, any further tlian may be conducive to a 
 proper understanding of the matter read. It dwells not 
 on the letter, stops not with the accidental, which can 
 never awaken a rational curiosity nor inspire a love of 
 literature for its own sake, but penetrates to the essence 
 which is the life. Minute analysis, verbal criticism, err 
 on the side of too narrow a conception, — err, in short, 
 as Pope taunted Kuster and Burmann with erring, — 
 
 ' The critic eye, tliat microscope of wit, 
 Sees hairs and pores, examines bit by bit,' 
 
 but fails to see 
 
 ' How parts relate to parts, or they to whole, 
 Tlie body's harmony, tlie beaming soul.' 
 
 The method proposes in every case, not the inspection 
 of extracts, but the examination of a whole work as a 
 whole, the ability to appreciate which is one of the prin- 
 cipal aims of aesthetic culture. Masterpieces are in their 
 entirety made the objects of sustained pursuit. Integrity, 
 vividness, and permanency of impression are thus guar- 
 anteed ; taste is set and fixed ; principles, sentiments, 
 images, are built into the moral and intellectual fabric. 
 
 Again, the method cannot fail to be corrective of 
 desultory and rambling habits of mind. The theme of 
 
xii PREFACE. 
 
 inquiry is specific, the aim is -well-defined, research con- 
 verges to a single centre. ' Culture is indispensably 
 necessary,' says Matthew Arnold ; ' and culture is read- 
 ing, but reading with a purpose to guide it, and with 
 system.' The student fixes his mental observatory on 
 a given spot, there draws his meridian, and whatever 
 other places on the literary chart he may have occasion 
 to inspect or visit, wide apart and dissimilar, that me- 
 ridian is the basis to which he refers them, the line by 
 whicli he measures them. The design of turning ideas, 
 evolved and acquired, to an immediate application, be- 
 gets an appropriative power, a force of affinity, by which 
 the reader attracts to himself whatever is nearly or even 
 remotely related to his chosen topic. 
 
 Reading authors of various and conflicting views, the 
 student learns to modify and revise his estimates, con- 
 clusions, and arguments ; to read with an independent 
 judgment and a critical spirit. Having to put his 
 thoughts on paper in the proper order of arrangement, 
 he organizes his material and perfects his art of expres- 
 sion ; his knowledge is not loose, disconnected, gaseous 
 information, but compact, coherent, all of a piece, with 
 its several parts fitted into each other, mutually sup- 
 portive and illustrative. 
 
 Clearly, it is not a memory-exercising method, but 
 one that encourages to the fullest extent the process of 
 self-development, requiring the student to make his own 
 investigations, to draw his own inferences, constraining 
 him to a tense, active, and wakeful attention, which is 
 the golden rule of study ; and thus does it answer, in an

 eminent degree, the twofold good of education, which is 
 made up of the value of the acquirements and the disci- 
 plinary benefits obtained in the process of acquiring.

INTRODUCTION. 
 
 Through all the kingdoms of organic and inorganic being 
 is the unity of the persistent, illimitable Essence. Not vainly 
 does Hegel call the beautiful the sensuous shining forth of 
 the Idea ; nor Schelling, who calls it the substance, tlie uni- 
 versal, the look of the Spirit of Nature. In the more definite 
 articulate expression of the spiritual lies the main difference 
 between the mineral and the plant ; and at the top of the 
 pyramid of forms is man, there by the possession of all that 
 is below him, and something more, that something (wherein 
 note the special characteristic of the view commended to your 
 acceptance) being the larger embodiment and revelation in 
 him of the Divine. ' Friend Novalis, the devoutest heart I 
 knew, and of purest depth,' saj-s Goethe, ' has not scrupled 
 to call man what the Divine Man is called in Scripture, — a 
 Revelation in the Flesh. " There is but one temple in the 
 world," says he, " and that is the body of man. Bending be- 
 fore men is a reverence done to this revelation in the flesh. 
 "We touch heaven when we lay our hand on a human body." 
 In which noble words a reader that meditates them may find 
 such meaning and scientific accuracy as will surprise him.' 
 So, likewise, Carlyle : ' The essence of our being, the mystery 
 in us that calls itself I . . . is a breath of Heaven ; the High- 
 est Being reveals himself in man. This body, these faculties, 
 this life of ours, is it not all as a vesture for that Unnamed? ' 
 
xvi INTRODUCTION. 
 
 The phenomena are various, the substance is one, of which 
 the tokens of the skj', the memoranda and signatures of the 
 ground, are shining parts, — spirit in fusion trembling to 
 organize itself, spirit outspread before the senses, groping 
 ever upward toward consciousness, till the fern and leaf 
 curse and praj', compose - Fausts,' ' Hamlets,' and ' P" aerie 
 Queenes.' 
 
 Such, we conceive, is the true estimate of man compre- 
 hcnsiveh- ; but though human hfe be one light, heaven- 
 descended, like the starlight it has many magnitudes. How 
 are we to regard those few whom public opinion selects to 
 occupj- the pre-eminent placie in its esteem and upon them 
 confers the title of 'great'? Brieflj-, they differ from the 
 rest in quantitj-, not in kind. They are nearer to God than 
 the rest of us. They have more of what everybody has a 
 little, — rare spirits possessed of a larger share of the Uni- 
 versal Mind, a more copious drauglit of the same heavenh' 
 wine that has been poured into different glasses, a stronger 
 influx of that primal Energy which is the source of things, — 
 the principle and substance of concretes, the one Realitj', 
 the grand Unfathomable, animating j'ou, subsisting in me, 
 stirring in the million, but above all in the mountain-peaks 
 of the historic landscape, — in a Dante, a Shakspeare, a 
 Napoleon. Golden are the sayings of Swedenborg: 'Man 
 in his perfect form is heaven.' ' What is from Him is 
 Him.' ' God is the grand man ; ' that is, the more com- 
 manding and regal the intellect, the nigher it dwells to the 
 celestial Light and Truth. 
 
 But the great man, furthermore, is never an accident. He 
 appears, not as a thunder-stroke out of a clear skj-, but like 
 the inception and enlargement of fruit, a regular growth out 
 of the ancestral stock. There is a special preparation made 
 for him in the nation W'hence he comes. Beyond ordinary 
 men, he sums up a long series of causes. He stands where 
 all hands indicate the direction he shall take. The success 
 
INTRODUCTION. xvii 
 
 of a Csesar or a Bonaparte lies in his parallelism to the, course 
 of thought, begirt with laws that execute themselves. ' A 
 great man does not wake up some fine morning, and say, " I 
 am full, of life: I will go to sea and find an Antarctic con- 
 tinent ; to-day I will square the circle ; I will ransack botany 
 and find a new food for man ; I have a new architecture in 
 raj- mind ; I foresee a new mechanic power ; " no, but he 
 finds hihiself in the river of thoughts and events, forced on- 
 ward by the ideas and necessities of his contemporaries.' ' 
 The present is the living sum-total of the past. The cap- 
 stone of Bunker Hill Monument is highest because it rests 
 on everj' block, lowest and smallest, underneath. The secret 
 of Chaucer's richness and durability is that he was son and 
 heir of a familj' that for generations had been accumulating 
 wealth, of ideas that had been flowering and bearing fruit in 
 the minds of two centuries. ' We allow ourselves to tliink 
 of Shakspeare, or of Raphael, or of Phidias as having ac- 
 complished their work by the power of their individual genius ; 
 but greatness like theirs is never more than the highest of 
 perfection which prevails widely around it and forms the en- 
 vironment in which it grows. No such single mind in single 
 contact with the facts of Nature could have created a Pallas, 
 a Madonna, or a Lear ; such vast conceptions are the growth 
 of ages, the creation of a nation's spirit ; and the artist and 
 poet, filled with the power of that spirit, but gave it form, and 
 nothing but form. Nor would the form itself have been at- 
 tained by any isolated talent. No genius can dispense with 
 experience. . . . Noble conceptions already existing, and a 
 noble school of execution which will launch mind and hand 
 upon their true courses, are indispensable to transcendent 
 excellence. Shakspeare's plays are as much the offspring 
 of the long generations who have pioneered the road for him 
 as the discoveries of Newton were the offspring of those 
 of Copernicus.'^ Thus we may receive intelligently the 
 1 Emerson. ^ Froude. 
 
xviu INTRODUCTION. 
 
 paradoxical assertion that Plato consumed his own times ; for 
 what is a great man but ' one of great affinities, who takes 
 up into himself all arts, sciences, all knowledge, as his food?' 
 ' Very little of me would be left,' says the great Goethe, 
 ' if I could but sa3- what I owe to my predecessors.' 
 
 It is to be remarked in the next place that great men ai-e 
 not only the richest products but also the best impersona- 
 tions of their countiy and age. The spotless Spenser in the 
 opprobrious age of Charles II. would have been inexplica- 
 ble ; but placed in his own thoughtful and adventurous era, 
 at once philosophical and chivalrous, so active that you 
 could not believe it contemplative, so contemplative that j-oii 
 could not believe it active, he becomes natural, intelligible. 
 We are so modified by times and seasons that, had we 
 lived seven or eight centuries earlier, who can doubt that 
 IngersoU would have been saying mass at the altar, and that 
 Hume would have been pursuing his theological studies in 
 a convent? Upon each of us are the marks of climate, 
 scenery, business, institutions, custom ; and the Ethiopian 
 cannot change his skin. A child born in Pekin must be 
 conformed in language, habits, and religious sentiments to 
 the usages, beliefs, and tastes of China. In the heart of 
 Africa we do not look for an indigenous flower of Chris- 
 tianity. Mohammedans and Buddhists are not fostered or 
 germinated in New England. From no other nation than 
 the Hebrew could Jesus of Nazareth have sprung. The 
 mothers of men like Chilstophcr Columbus smell of the sea. 
 The distinctive character of Athens reappears in Plato ; 
 of Rome, in Caesar; of Yankeedom, in Franklin; of com- 
 posite London, in Johnson. In the first quarter of this 
 century the state of the world was one great dissonance, 
 and the spirit of an entire epoch of the European world 
 became incarnate in Byron. English aristocracy boasts its 
 descent from the sixty thousand thieves landed at Hastings. 
 Bacon and Milton carry the Anglican duality, — the hard- 
 
INTRODUCTION. xix 
 
 ness of the Saxon, the airiness of the Celt, materialism 
 exalted into the sphere of intellect. This imperious condi- 
 tion of age and nationality- is upon all. We lean on our 
 forefathers, tliej- on sucli as came behind, — the inclination 
 of the great being the more clearly apparent in proportion as 
 the^- are taller. ' The I'hild blends in his face the faces of 
 both parents, and some feature from every ancestor whose 
 face hangs on the wall.' The mantle of destiny girdeth us 
 each. 
 
 Hence, parenthetically, the logical consecutiveness in lit- 
 erature as being, not the product of fortuitous combinations, 
 but a normal outgrowth. Amid- all the diversity- and de- 
 flection of English letters are traceable the clearly- drawn 
 lines of advance. A law of continuity' co-ordinates and 
 centralizes all. 
 
 But there are two classes of great men, — great men of 
 genius, and great men of talent. ' The whole difference be- 
 tween a man of genius and other men, it has been said a 
 thousand times and most trulj', is that the first remains in 
 great part a child, seeing with the large eyes of children, in 
 perpetual wonder, not conscious of much knowledge, — con- 
 scious, rather, of infinite ignorance and j-et infinite power ; 
 a fountain of eternal admiration, delight, and creative force 
 witliin him, meeting the ocean of visible and governable 
 things around him.'^ Yet not the whole, perhaps. More 
 definitely and completely, we think, genius invents and origi- 
 nates, finds general laws in familiar facts, comes close to 
 what is innermost in men, interprets their reflections, pro- 
 vides ideas for sentiments, words for unuttered thoughts, 
 outruns the instinctive mass, knowing what they merely 
 feel, and feeling to-day what they will feel the next year or 
 the next millennium. It is the golden key to the ill-deflned 
 ideal of the multitude. Such is the teaching of ' Heroes 
 and Hero- Worship ' : ' It is ever the way with the Thinker, 
 
 ^ Ruskin. 
 
XX INTRODUCTION. 
 
 the spiritual hero. What he says, all men were not far from 
 saj-ing, were longing to sa3'. The thoughts of all start up, 
 as from painful enchanted sleep, round his Thought, answer- 
 ing to it. Yes, even so ! . . . Existence has become articu- 
 late, melodious bj' him.' The path of genius is the path of 
 humanitj'. It foresees in the germ the expansive life of the 
 future. It is the interpreter of unheeded phenomena. It is 
 a mighty watcher in the midst of creation. Poetry is affluent 
 to it from all external objects. In all that can be seen, 
 heard, or conceived, in air, earth, or ocean, science or art, 
 it sees — because united to all by links of kinship — nothing 
 mean or foreign ; and having sent its plummet to the depths, 
 unengrossed bj- the narrow arts of detail, it is of free and 
 unchartered utterance, speaking from the commanding and 
 regal attributes of one that reposes firmly on conviction. 
 
 On the other hand, talent is executive power, — power to 
 appl^-, develop, improve, to adapt means to ends ; to divide, 
 chisel, and refine, like Pope, into curious or beautiful shapes, 
 the titanic blocks that genius strikes, like Shakspeare, from 
 the living quarry. One is of the soul, the other of. the 
 understanding ; one is interior, the other exterior : one is 
 productive, the other accumulative. ' Genius,' says Mr. 
 Calvert, ' has insight, talent onlj' outsight. Genius is al- 
 ways calm, reserved, self-centred ; talent is often bustling, 
 officious, confident. Genius gives the impulse and aim, 
 as well as the illumination; talent, the means and imple- 
 ments. Genius, in short, is the central, finer essence of the 
 mind, — the self-lighted fire, the intuitional gift. Talent 
 gathers and shapes and applies what genius forges. Talent 
 is ever approaching, and j-et never reaches, that point whence 
 genius starts. - Genius is often entirely right, and is never 
 wholly wrong ; talent is never wholly right. Genius avails 
 itself of all the capabilities of talent, appropriates to itself 
 what suits and helps it. Talent can appropriate to itself 
 nothing, for it has not the inwai'd heat that can fuse all 
 
INTRODUCTION. xxi 
 
 matxirial, and assimilate all food to convert it into blood ; 
 this only genius can do. Goethe was a man of genius, and 
 at the same time of immense and varied talents ; and no 
 contemporary profited so much as he did by all the knowl- 
 edges and discoveries and accumulations made by others. 
 For full success, the two, genius and talent, should co- 
 exist in one mind in balanced proportions, as they did in 
 Goethe's ; so that they can play smoothly together in effec- 
 tive combination.' 
 
 Always genius and talent are to be viewed in the light 
 of their environment, and this is the law of their growth : 
 ' When a time is ripe there are found both idealists and 
 men of action to represent it, — springing up as when, in the 
 physical world, the pines and fir-trees of a virgin forest 
 have been cleared away, and a novel flora suddenl_v appears, 
 whose germs have been hidden in the under-mould, await- 
 ing their own season of room and light and air.' ' P"irst is 
 the major kej- of literature, in which the power to conceive 
 and the power to execute are on the same mighty scale ; and 
 we have an Iliad, a 'Jerusalem Delivered,' a 'Macbeth,'" and 
 a ' Paradise Lost,' dealing with the great elementar3- gran- 
 deurs of passion, conscience, and will ; then succeeds the 
 minor kej', in which the lower faculties, fanej^and the analytic 
 understanding, are applied, with brilliant powers of execu- 
 tion, to the contemplation of society and manners, and we 
 have, for example, tiie ' Duntiad,' ' Absalom and Achito- 
 phel,' the ' Vicar of Wakefield.' Both keys arise with equal 
 spontaneit3-. In the sixteenth century, as in the first quarter 
 of our own, the social air was permeated with fresh thought, 
 and the gifted, coming into possession of a current of true and 
 living ideas, wrought under the inspiration of them ; in the 
 eighteenth, inevitably-, passion wheeled in lower flights, and 
 there was a European age of observers, wits, free-thinkers, 
 drawing-room elegance, — and Pope's poetry was possible. 
 1 E. C. Stedman. 
 
XXU INTRODUCTION. 
 
 ' The grand work of literary genius,' saj's Matthew Arnold, 
 ' is a work of sj-nthesis and exposition, not of analj-sis and 
 discovery ; its gift lies in the faculty of being happily inspired 
 by a certain intellectual and spiritual atmosphere, by a cer- 
 tain order of ideas, when it finds itself in them ; of dealing 
 divinely with these ideas, presenting them in the most eflFec- 
 tive and attractive combinations, — making beautiful works 
 with them, in short. But it must have the atmosphere, it 
 must find itself amid the order of ideas, in order to work 
 freely ; and these it is not so easy to command. This is why 
 great creative epochs in literature are so rare, this is why 
 there is so much that is unsatisfactory' in the productions of 
 man\' men of real genius ; because, for the creation of a 
 master-work of literature two powers must concur, — the 
 power of the man and the power of the moment, and the man 
 is not enough without the moment.' 
 
 For soul culture, for that higher education which makes us 
 wiser and in that wisdom better, dealing not so much with 
 what we know as with what we are, what we ought to do, 
 what we can suflfer, what we may become, j'ou will hence 
 perceive the immense gain, the exceptional richness of j-our 
 opportunities, in the study of such authors as rise conspicu- 
 0USI3' above the table-land of national character. What may 
 you learn from ' Thanatopsis ' or 'Prometheus Unbound'? 
 Nothing at all. What do you learn from an almanac? More 
 facts than Aristotle knew. But the latter leaves you, though 
 it carry you along, on the same plane of earth ; the former 
 gives power, everj' step of which is a flight onward and up- 
 ward, where earth is forgotten ; sj'mpathj- with the infinite, 
 which is the central force among forces ; ideals that gei-mi- 
 nate into vital activities. Who can estimate the beneficent 
 influence of a George Eliot or a George Sand in rescuing 
 from torpor and refreshing human fears and hopes, human 
 instincts of wrong and right? There is no more vivifying 
 influence in man's life than the earnest studj' of the master 
 
INTRODUCTION. xxiii 
 
 minds. ' Activity is contagious. Looking wliere others 
 look, and conversing with the same things, we catch the 
 charm which lured tliem.' Natural assimilation expands and 
 uplifts those who associate with the heroic, that from the 
 height of a superior existence feel, understand, and interpret 
 our whole life iu its unity of intelligence, of love, and of 
 might. ' It is impossible,' said Seneca, ' to approach the 
 light without deriving some faint coloring from it, or to re- 
 main long among precious odors without bearing away with 
 us' some portion of the fragrance.' 
 
 Thus, too, shall we acquire most in learning least, whether 
 we seek historj' or wisdom. Great authors sum up and 
 initiate ; they are the efflorescence of civilization and the 
 heaven-facing speakers of the Foreworld. In the famed 
 books are the choicest thoughts, the best facts. ' Perhaps,' 
 saj's Emerson, ' the human mind would be a gainer if all 
 the secondarj- writers were lost, — saj', in England, all but 
 Shakspeare, Milton, and Bacon, — through the profounder 
 study so drawn to those wonderful minds.' At least, the 
 exceptions are not English. Erasmus cries, ' I have spent 
 twelve years in the stadj' of Cicero.' Lord Verulam justly 
 responds, ' Oh, ass ! ' Some books, you will remember, are to 
 be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed 
 and digested. It is this last class of which I speak, and to 
 which j'our jo^'fiil attention is invited, as to an everlasting 
 feast of fat things, — Castalian fountains fed from .perpetual 
 snows. 
 
 Individuals and communities are forwarded by fixing the 
 attention on the best things. What Sir Joshua Rej-nolds has 
 so aptly said of the study of the great masters in painting 
 may with equal propriety and justness be said of the study 
 of the great masters in literature, — ' "Whoever has so formed 
 his taste as to be able to relish and feel the beauties of the 
 great masters, has gone a great way in his study ; for merely 
 from a consciousness of this relish of the right the mind 
 
Xxiv INTRODUCTION. 
 
 swells with an inward pride, and is almost as powerfully 
 affected as if it had itself produced what it admires. Our 
 hearts, freqnentlj' warmed in this manner bj- the contact of 
 those whom we wish to resemble, will undoubtedlj- catch some- 
 thing of their way of thinking ; and we shall receive into our 
 own bosoms some radiation at least of their fire and splendor. 
 That disposition which is so strong in children still continues 
 with us, of catching involuntarily the general air and manner 
 of those with whom we are most conversant ; with this dif- 
 ference onl3', that a j'oung mind is naturallj- pliable and imi- 
 tative, but in a more advanced state it grows rigid, and must 
 be warmed and softened before it will receive a deep impres- 
 sion. From these considerations, which a little of j'our own 
 reflection will carry much further, it appears of what great 
 consequence it is that our minds should be habituated to the 
 contemplation of excellence ; and that, far from being con- 
 tented to make such habits the discipline of our youth only, 
 we should to the last moment of our lives continue a settled 
 intercourse with all the true examples of grandeur. Their 
 inventions are not only the food of our infancy, but the sub- 
 stance which supplies the fullest maturity of our vigor. The 
 mind is but a barren soil, a soil which is soon exhausted, and 
 will produce no crop, or only one, unless it be continually 
 fertilized and enriched with foreign matter. When we have 
 had continually before us the great works of art to impreg- 
 . nate our minds with kindred ideas, we are then, and not till 
 then, fit to produce something of the same species. We be- 
 hold all about us with the ej-es of those penetrating observers 
 whose works vfe contemplate ; and our minds, accustomed to 
 think the thoughts of the noblest and brightest intellects, are 
 prepared for the discovery- and selection of all that is great 
 and noble in nature. The greatest natural genius cannot 
 subsist on its own stock. He who resolves never to ransack 
 any mind but his own will be soon reduced from mere bar- 
 renness to the poorest of all imitations ; he will be compelled

 to imitate himself, and to repeat what he has before often 
 repeated. . . . Nothing can come of nothing.' 
 
 Bat there is another way in which this study cannot fail 
 to render «s an important service, if only by the suggestion 
 of a lesson which the wise in all ages have tried to enforce 
 by a multitude of ringing maxims. It is commonly believed 
 by the young, perhaps by not a few of the old, that great 
 men are exempt from the law of labor, that they rush into 
 the world without knowing why or whither, achieve results 
 at a dash, and reach the top of the ladder without stepping 
 on any of the rounds. Nothing could be more delusive. No 
 man is intuitively a scholar. The plants of grace and truth 
 that decorate the mind do not spring up in the wilderness. 
 Behind every point of accomplishment is a great beam of en- 
 deavor. The mighty voices of earth thunder through the 
 dome of fame the truth that there is no excellence without 
 determined, sober continuity of meditation and toil. ' It 
 would/ says Syduej' Smith, ' be a profitable thing to draw 
 up a short and well-authenticated account of the habits of 
 study of the most celebrated writers. It would go far to de- 
 stroy the absurd and pernicious associations of genius and 
 idleness by showing that men of the most brilliant and im- 
 posing talents have lived a life of intense and incessant 
 labor.' None is on this earth as in his final dwelling, to 
 waste his da^-s in the slumber of indolence. Even the wine- 
 loving Moore is moved to say : ' Nothing great and durable 
 has ever been produced with ease. Labor is the parent of 
 all the lasting monuments of this world, whether in verse or 
 in stone, in poetry or in pyramids.' England never saw a 
 harder-working man than Lord Bacon. Shalispeare, what- 
 ever maj' have been his facility- of expression, has all the 
 marks of an exceptionally conscientious artist. Voltaire, 
 indeed, called him the ' intoxicated barbarian.' You will 
 recall the testimony of his contemporarj', Jonson, as to the 
 method in his madness, — 
 
xxvi INTRODUCTION. 
 
 ' For though the poet's matter Nature be, 
 His art doth give the fashion ; and that ho 
 Wlio casts to write a living line must sweat 
 (Such as thine are) and strike the second heat 
 Upon the Muses' anvil ; turn the same 
 (And himself with it) tliat he thinks to frame ; 
 Or for the laurel he may gain a scorn ; 
 For a good poet 's made as well as born, 
 And such wert thou.' 
 
 The design of ' Paradise Lost ' was long shaping itself. 
 ' My Pegasus,' wrote Milton, ' has not vet feathers enough.' 
 His breathless dictation was an effort rather of memory than 
 of invention. Mindful that trifles make perfection, but that 
 perfection is no trifle, he was solicitous even after correct 
 punctuation. Pope, who always read himself full, diligently 
 gleaning what he thought to be brilliant or useful, then pre- 
 serving it all in a regular collection, would spend whole days 
 over a couplet, never content with well done, ever essaj-ing 
 to do better. Waller owns that a single ten-line poem cost 
 liim a whole summer. Gibbon wrote the first chapter of , the 
 ' Decline and Fall ' three times, and Locke was no less than 
 eighteen j-ears over his celebrated essa\'. The epigrams 
 and jokes in Sheridan's comedies were carefullj- and incredibly 
 elaborated. He defined easy writing to be as a rule ver^' 
 hard reading. Goldsmith bemoaned the trouble his graceful 
 periods cost him. ' Everj' one,' he was heard to sa}- bitterlj', 
 ' writes better because he writes faster than I.' The simple, 
 liomelj'^ diction of old Isaak Walton, whose little book on 
 fishing has earned its life of two hundred j-ears, was the re- 
 sult of painstaking industry. Dr. Johnson was indefatigable 
 in revising. 
 
 In the cases of astonishing fecunditj- and fiuenej' the quality 
 bears no relation to quantity. Voltaire saj-s of Dryden, who 
 has left no single work which is widely read and approved, 
 ' An author who would have had a glorj' without a blemish 
 if he had only written the tenth part of his works.' De Foe,

 remarkably voluminous and rapid, is remem'bered chiefly for 
 his ' Robinson Crusoe,' Swift for his ' Gulliver's Travels,' 
 Steele as the friend of Addison. Southey's one hundred and 
 nine volumes have all but sunk into oblivion. Scott's biog- 
 raphies have been superseded, his poetry threatened with 
 eclipse, his essays are seldom read, his histories consigned 
 to forgetfulness and dust. Posterity will respect only those 
 
 who 
 
 ■ ' File off the mortal part 
 Of glowing thought with Attic art.' 
 
 I need hardly, in further illustration, cite the cases of 
 foreign genius : of Virgil, who consumed twelve j'ears in 
 elaborating the JEneid, then attempted to rise from his 
 death-bed to commit it to the flames because it seemed to 
 him incomplete ; of Plato, who turned into nine different 
 ways the first sentence of the ' Republic ; ' of Demosthenes, 
 who, urged to speak on a great and sudden emergency, said, 
 ' I am not prepared,' and obstinately refused ; of Balzac, 
 who was wont to spend a week on a single page ; of Pascal, 
 who frequently occupied twenty days on one of his ' Provin- 
 cial Letters ; ' of Rousseau, whose smooth and lively stj-le 
 was worked 'out like a mathematical problem : ' My manu- 
 scripts, blotted, scratched, interlined, and scarcely legible, 
 attest the trouble they cost me. There is not one of them 
 which I have not been obliged to transcribe four or five 
 times before it went to press. I could never do anything 
 when placed at a table pen in hand ; it must be walking 
 among the rocks or in the woods; it is at night in my bed, 
 during my wakeful hours, that I compose, — it may be 
 judged how slowlj', particularly for a man who has not the 
 advantage of a verbal memory. Some of my periods I have 
 turned or re-turned in my head for five or six nights before 
 they were fit to be put to paper.' ' You will read this 
 treatise in a few hours,' said Montesquieu in an epistle to a 
 friend ; ' but the labor expended ou it has whitened my 
 
xxvm INTRODUCTION. 
 
 hair.' Here in his own words is the instructive historj- of 
 but one of Petrarch's sonnets : ' I began this bj' the im- 
 pulse of the Lord, 10th of September, at the dawn of day, 
 after my morning prayers. ... I must make these two 
 verses over again, singing them, and I must transpose them. 
 Three o'clock,. a. m., 10th of October. ... I like this. 
 30th of October, ten o'clock in the morning. . . . No, this 
 does not please me. 20th of December, in the evening. . . . 
 I shall return to this again ; I am called to supper. . . . 
 18th of February, towards noon. This is now well ; how- 
 ever, look at it again.' 
 
 Indeed, the whole history of literature shows in how large 
 a measure genius is, as BufTon boldly defined it, the capacity 
 for concentrated labor, — hard work of intuition, hard work 
 of reflection, — and ver^' much of it ; that whatsoever is pre- 
 cious, beautiful, and enduring is the issue of diligent elabo- 
 ration ; that to fashion properlythe stubborn masses of our 
 fortune, firm resolves, true to a fixed aim, must tread upon 
 the heels of worthy desires. 
 
 There is a firefly in the southern clime

 It only remains to speak briefly of the manner in which 
 these high exemplars of literary art should be studied. Of 
 Sir John Lubbock's list of the best hundred books, it has 
 been well remarked : ' It would have been more profitable 
 for us had we been advised how to read anj' one of the 
 hundred ; for what, indeed, does it matter whether we read 
 the best books or the worst, if we laSk the power or the 
 interest or the skill by which to reach the heart of any of 
 them?' Foremost, read the production itself. Drink first 
 at the fountain. Read Milton before you read Macaulay's 
 article on Milton. ' Who,' it is asked, ' in visiting Niagara, 
 
INTRODUCTION. XXIX 
 
 instead of looking at the majestic cataract itself, would wish 
 to see it reflected in a mirror in a camera obscura ? ' Read 
 with girded attention, receptively, not passively, that j'Oii 
 may thereafter consult tlie printed authorities in the attitude 
 of one who, having his own convictions and opinions, is 
 willing to be instructed. ' It is not well,' says Mazzini, 
 ' to prostrate one's self with closed eyes before intellectual 
 greatness, or to follow it without inquiry whithersoever it 
 may lead.' Indolence and apathy are the greatest enemies 
 that the truth of genius can encounter. Always the supreme 
 value is the active soul. ' If we love ease and lethargj', let 
 us turn in good time and flj-. The interpretation of litera- 
 ture, like the interpretation of Nature, is no mere record of 
 facts ; it is no catalogue of the items which make up a book, 
 — such catalogues and anal^-ses of contents encumber our 
 histories of literature with some of their dreariest pages. 
 The interpretation of literature exhibits no series of dead 
 items, but rather the life and power of one mind at play upon 
 another mind duly qualified to receive and manifest these. 
 Hence, one who would interpret the woi-k of a master must 
 summon up all his powers, and must be alive at as many 
 points as possible. He who approaches his author as a 
 whole, bearing upon life as a whole, is himself alive at the 
 greatest possible number of points, will be the best and 
 truest interpreter. For he will grasp what is central, and at 
 the same time will be sensitive to the value of all details, 
 which details he will perceive not isolated, but in connection 
 with one another, and with the central life to which they 
 belong and from which they proceed.'^ 'A masterpiece 
 excites no sudden enthusiasm, — it must be studied much 
 and long before it is fully comprehended ; we must grow 
 up to it, for it will not descend to us. Its emphasis grows 
 with familiarity. We never become disenchanted, — we grow 
 more and more awe-struck at its infinite wealth. We dis-

 cover no trick, for there is none to discover. Homer, 
 Shakspeare, Raphael, Beethoven, Mozart, never storm the 
 jndgment ; but once fairly in possession, they retain it with 
 unceasing iniiuence.' ^ 
 
 To read with discernment is to create ; to read without in- 
 terrogation, without patient attempt to estimate and retain, 
 is to be warped out of j-our own orbit. Consider the' import 
 of each illustration, argument, deduction, figure, its beaiing 
 upon the status, or governing purpose ; style as related to 
 the thought and personality behind it ; the spirit of the 
 writer, — the habitual character of his feelings, their particu- 
 lar state when he penned his utterances. Thus the spirit of 
 Shakspeare is genial ; of Milton, grave ; of B3-ron, rebellious 
 and bitter. Yet the mood varies. Compare, for example, 'Don 
 Juan ' with the ■■ Hebrew Melodies.' Without appreciating 
 the spirit of an author, we cannot judge accurately of his 
 meaning, nor measure the intensitj', nor fix the comprehen- 
 sion, to be ascribed to his expressions. Be not an ' anato- 
 mist.' No error is more flagrant than to make literarj' art, 
 except very snbordinatelj*, a dictionarj' study of words and 
 forms. Note j'our author's individual position, his ancestrj', 
 home life, his environment, the temper of his time, his inter- 
 national relations, — in particular the threefold influence of 
 Italy (as on Chaucer), of France (as on Drj-den), of Ger- 
 many (as on Coleridge and Carlj-le). A book read with 
 preparation and reflection — that is, with a penetrating and 
 informed mind, revolving, evolving, separating, comparing, 
 combining — is like the gold concealed in the fabulous vine- 
 yard, which, causing the ground to be thoroughlj' worked, 
 formed in the diggers habits of industry, and made their soil 
 unexpectedly productive. 
 
 In the use of the library, in the prosecution of any inquiry 
 to which you may address yourselves, read widely, having 
 first, so far as in j'ou lies, gotten at the essence of the topic

INTUODUCTION. XXXI 
 
 for discussion. In some instances j'our position will be found 
 corroborated, in others opposed. In either case, the facul- 
 ties of comparison and abstraction will be strengthened, new 
 views will be obtained, and j'our knowledge will be compre- 
 hensive. ' I call that the best theme,' says Dr. Arnold, 
 * which shows that the boy has read and thought ^or himself; 
 that the next best which shows that he has read several 
 books, and digested what he has read ; and that the worst 
 which shows that he has followed but one book, and that 
 without reflection.' Matter gathered from manj^ sources in- 
 vests the study of the subject with a heightened charm. A 
 half-dozen books read in succession or together upon a single 
 centre of interest are infinitely more entertaining and profit- 
 able than a score which converge to no single impression. 
 
 In the exercise of j-our critical function, be free from pre- 
 possessions, sympathetic, candid, honestly desirous of seeing 
 things as they really are, of feeding your minds with abun- 
 dant and nourishing food. Avoid the semblance of cynicism, 
 cavil, technicalities of scholarism, small issues, — all which 
 cloud and contract the mental horizon, strangle emotion, and 
 dry up the sources of life. Raise no question concerning the 
 paper on which the soul of a century writes its message. 
 ' It is because criticism has so little kept in the pure intel- 
 lectual sphere, has so little detached itself from practice, has 
 been so directly polemical and controversial, that it has so ill 
 accomplished, in this country, its best spiritual work ; which 
 is to keep man from a self-satisfaction which is retarding 
 and vulgarizing, to lead him towards perfection by making 
 his mind dwell upon whatis excellent in itself, and the abso- 
 lute beauty and fitness of things.' ^ There is a story of the 
 eleventh century, that certain travellers saw at Teneriffe a 
 prodigiously lofty tree, whose immense foliage collected all 
 the vapors of the atmosphere, to discharge them, when its 
 branches were shaken, in a shower of pure and refreshing 
 > M. Arnold. 
 
XXXU INTRODUCTION. 
 
 water. The true mission of criticism is to shake the branches 
 of the tree of genius. 
 
 Finalh', as prominent English writers are now urging to be 
 done, mark the ethical side of our literature, its morale, its 
 sense of the mysterious, the dark, the illimitable, its con- 
 sciousness of the evanescence and vanitj' of things human, 
 its earnestness, visible all along the line from Csedman to 
 Tennyson, and seeming to say to the generations of wa}-- 
 worn and footsore : Be, not happy, but good and pure ; not 
 rich, but strong ; know how to suffer ; aspiration is the nor- 
 mal state; all that is, is in course of development ; struggle 
 bravely on through the tempest of human chances, hand on 
 oar, ej-e on heaven. Remember that man exists primarily 
 for culture, not for what he can do, but for what can be done 
 in him. Seek therefore the suggestion of noble methods for 
 the conduct of life ; light upon the problems of being, — 
 whence we are, what we are, whither we tend ; just insights 
 into manners and characters ; ideas and pictures that raise 
 men out of the world of corn and money ; truth for the sake 
 of its service in uses ; beauty for the joj- of its charms ; good- 
 ness for the love of its divinity. So shall j^ou find that the 
 sovereign books are truly — 
 
 ' A real world, both pure and good, 
 Round which, with tendrils strong as flesh and blood. 
 Our pastime and our happiness may grow.'
