His new arrangement for the victualling of Tangier, he tells us with honest complacency, will save the King a thousand and gain Pepys three hundred pounds a year a statement which exactly fixes the degree of the age's enlightenment. But for his industry and capacity no praise can be too high.
Is the history of the Minie rifle one so very complimentary to our age's quickness of perception that we can afford to throw many stones at the prejudices of our ancestors? The truth is that, as of old, 'many men talk of Robin Hood who never shot in his bow'; and many talk of Bacon who never discovered a law by induction since they were born.
American life seemed to be calling for this music in order that its vastness, its madly affluent wealth and multiform power and transcontinental span, its loud, grandiose promise might attain something like eternal being.
