It, the new Truth, new deeper revealing of the Secret of this Universe, is verily of the nature of a message from on high; and must and will have itself obeyed. My last remark is on that notablest phasis of Burns's history, his visit to Edinburgh. Often it seems to me as if his demeanor there were the highest proof he gave of what a fund of worth and genuine manhood was in him.
It is the Keblah of all Moslem: from Delhi all onwards to Morocco, the eyes of innumerable praying men are turned towards it, five times, this day and all days: one of the notablest centres in the Habitation of Men. It had been from the sacredness attached to this Caabah Stone and Hagar's Well, from the pilgrimings of all tribes of Arabs thither, that Mecca took its rise as a Town.
But perhaps the notablest god we hear tell of is one of whom Grimm the German Etymologist finds trace: the God Wunsch, or Wish. The God Wish; who could give us all that we wished! Is not this the sincerest and yet rudest voice of the spirit of man? The rudest ideal that man ever formed; which still shows itself in the latest forms of our spiritual culture.

Wartensleben, Borck, and a certain Colonel von der Golz, whom also the King much esteems, these are his company on this drive.
Here, enthroned against the gates of hell, in unassailable fortitude, and unfaltering faith, sat Urban; the righteousness of his cause presently to be avouched by miracle, notablest among those of the Roman Church.

Saxon, Norman, Celt, or Sarmat, I find no human soul so beautiful, these fifteen hundred known years; our supreme modern European man. Him England had contrived to realize: were there not ideas? Perceptive Reason is the Handmaid of Conscience, not Conscience hers. "Ideas poetic and also Puritanic, that had to seek utterance in the notablest way!
In this point of view, I consider that, for the last hundred years, by far the notablest of all Literary Men is Fichte's countryman, Goethe.
It is said that in the time of Henry VIII. the best English collection belonged to Bishop Fisher. 'He had the notablest library, said Fuller, 'two long galleries full, the books sorted in stalls, and a register of the name of each book at the end of its stall.
