To conclude: At this period the imagination is the master-faculty and the highest form of intellectual development. It works in two directions, one principal it creates plays, invents romances, and extends language; the other secondary it contains a germ of thought and ventures a fanciful explanation of the world which can not yet be conceived according to abstract notions and laws.
In him this faculty is a sort of captain and leader; and if ever any passage in his writings lacks interest, it is when this master-faculty is for a time thrust into a subordinate position. I think such is the case in the former half of the present volume. Towards the middle, he throws off restraint, becomes himself, and is strong to the close.
