How many of the books published in 1905 would have any copyright cash value in A.D. 2000? I do not pause for a reply. What the modern author alone desiderates is a big, immediate, and protected market. The United States of America have been a great disappointment to many an honest British author.
Whoever desiderates cheap praise, let him cultivate a beard and a sleepy look, and hang a picture in the Academy rooms. Elkanah received it, you may be sure. It was thought so romantic, that he, a fisherman, the young ladies sunk the shoemaker, I believe, should be so devoted to Art.
There is a considerable amount of truth in this, although it is lacking somewhat in the sympathy which the critic desiderates in the man he is criticising.
The nature and efficacy of the natural reason consists in deducing and proving the unknown from the known, or in carrying premises to their legitimate conclusions; and these are the very processes which our method desiderates.
Unluckily, this theory can only assert, and neither explains nor proves, the connection between the thought and the reality it desiderates. For, granting that it is the intent of every thought to correspond with reality, we must yet inquire how the alleged correspondence is to be made out.
But even when the element of human nature has been fully allowed for, it remains a question whether the type of mind that a generation or two of Free Libraries will evolve is or is not the one that the world most desiderates; and whether the spare reading and consequent fertile thinking necessitated by the old, or gas-lamp, style is not productive of sounder results.
And though in this, Plato, no doubt, goes far beyond the common sense of the Greeks, yet he is not building altogether in the air. The republic which he desiderates was realised, as we shall see, partially at least, in Sparta.
The programme of this type of woman is, as a preliminary, to compel man to admit her claim to be his intellectual equal; and, that done, to compel him to divide up everything with her to the last farthing, and so make her also his financial equal. And her journals exhibit to us the kind of parliamentary representative she desiderates.
But every attitude, gesture, tone, was full of grace; of ease, courtesy, self-restraint, dignity of that 'sweetness and light, at least in externals, which Mr. Matthew Arnold desiderates. I am well aware that these people are not perfect; that, like most heathen folk and some Christian, their morals are by no means spotless, their passions by no means trampled out.
A man, on the contrary, abhors suspense. It is not business-like, you know. He much desiderates a plain answer to a plain exposition of fact or fancy even when it takes the form of that excruciating little monosyllable "no."
