King Saul embodies, for instance, the conflict between ecclesiastical and temporal authority between the authority of the church and the claims of the thinker and the poet; Richard Savage that between the pride of noble birth and the promptings of the mother's heart; Werner , A White Leaf , and Ottfried , variations of the conflict between a man's duty and his vacillating, simultaneous love of two women; Patkul , the conflict between the hero's championship of truth and justice and the triumphant inertia of authority in the hands of a weak prince; Uriel Acosta , the best of the author's serious plays, embodies the tragic conflict between the hero's conviction of truth and his love for his mother and for his intended wife.

Among so many writers who, since Herder, Ottfried Müller, and Goethe have steadily followed and rectified this great effort, let the reader take two historians and two works, one "The Life and Letters of Cromwell" by Carlyle, and the other the "Port Royal" of Sainte-Beuve.
