As for the claim which the French advance to set themselves up, in spite of all their one-sidedness and inadequacy of view, as the lawgivers of taste, it must be rejected with becoming indignation. Use at first made of the Spanish Theatre by the French General Character of Corneille, Racine, and Voltaire Review of the principal Works of Corneille and of Racine Thomas Corneille and Crebillon.
The one-sidedness appears in his proposal to abolish the poor-law simply. That became the most conspicuous and widely accepted doctrine. All men of 'sense, said Sydney Smith certainly a qualified representative of the class in 1820, agree, first, that the poor-law must be abolished; and secondly, that it must be abolished very gradually.
They had gained a comparative uniformity of opinion, at the entire expense of that breadth and expansiveness which only national Churches are found capable of. Such communion, on the other hand, of independent national Churches as was contemplated by Du Pin and Wake might have been quite free from one-sidedness of this description.
I am not quite a tiger-cat, but I confess I do not like one-sidedness in anything, Nature's tendency being to equalise equalise till we are all flattened down into one level, the grave! At the present moment we are treading on a mixture of kings and saints and heroes, all one soil you see, and rather marshy, badly in need of draining at all times!" She laughed a little.
Shall she close them entirely to one whole side of it, that she may fix them more intently on the other? So long as the physiologist is content to be a physicist, and nothing more using the word "physicist" in its widest signification his position in regard to the organic world is one of extreme but legitimate one-sidedness.
Marrying upward, in the nature of the case, involved a large material one-sidedness: that was the object and the glory of it all. Yet now, in her romantic situation, there woke new emotions in Cally Heth, and she dimly perceived that her lifelong ambition carried, through its very advantages, a subtle disadvantage to the heart.
The absence of learning, or the danger to learning, is the keynote of a powerful but acrid survey of the history and prospects of the Anglican Church, for which, in spite of its one-sidedness and unfairness, Churchmen may find not a little which it will be useful to lay to heart.
As often remarked, Japanese art has directed its chief endeavor to animals and to nature, thus failing to give to man his share of attention. This curious one-sidedness shows itself particularly in painting and in sculpture.
But it is hardly possible to exaggerate their significance as a reversal of the immemorial one-sidedness, inadequacy, and artificiality both of the official statement and of the popular apprehension of Christianity. These ideas appeal to men in our time. They are popular because men think them already.
You are as far off the track as an historian would be, if, lost in admiration of Napoleon's personal power, he were to ignore his marshals and his armies, and were to accuse you of error in describing his conquests as effected by their means. Of such abstractness and one-sidedness I accuse most of the critics of my own account.
