In the same way he makes the penultimate syllable of Andronicus short, equally impossible. Mr. A scholar would have corrected, not accepted, false quantities. This, at least, would not be ignorance.
Accordingly, when, in the penultimate year of his life, he proposed his night-school to a meeting of young East-Side workingmen in New York, he told them that he had no sympathy whatever with the griefs of "labor," that outward circumstances meant nothing in his eyes; that through their individual wills and intellects they could share, just as they were, in the highest spiritual life of humanity, and that he was there to help them severally to that privilege.
