A hare and a partridge were living as fellow-citizens very peacefully in a field, when a pack of hounds making an onset obliged the hare to seek refuge. He rushed into his form and succeeded in putting the hounds at fault. But here the scent from his over-heated body betrayed him. Towler, philosophising, concluded that this scent came from his hare, and with admirable zeal routed him out.
The course directly opposed to this method of philosophising consists in an earnest and patient enquiry, how far geological appearances are reconcilable with the effect of changes now in progress, or which may be in progress in regions inaccessible to us, but of which the reality is attested by volcanos and subterranean movements.
John Allen, the prophet of Holland House, was a thorough sceptic, and says that Horner, one of Stewart's personal admirers, was really a follower of Hume. The Whigs were inclined to Shaftesbury's doctrine that sensible men had all one religion, and that sensible men never said what it was. Those who had a more definite and avowable creed were content to follow Stewart's amiable philosophising.
We ought to have no tolerance for those compilers who rashly break open the gate of the sciences, and introduce into their sanctuary a populace that is unworthy even to draw near to it. It may be well that there should be philosophers, provided only and always that the people do not meddle with philosophising.
A theory which is founded on a new principle, a theory which has to make its way in the public mind by overturning the opinions commonly received by philosophising men, and one which has nothing to recommend it but the truth of its principles, and the view of wisdom or design to which it leads, neither of which may perhaps be perceived by the generality of people, such a theory, I say, must meet with the strongest opposition from the prejudices of the learned, and from the superstition of those who judge not for themselves in forming their notions, but look up to men of science for authority.
"However," said Godolphin, "it is only poets you find so foolish as to be deceived by you. There is not a single prose writer of real genius so absurd." "And why is that?" "Because," replied Godolphin, philosophising, "poets address themselves more to women than men; and insensibly they acquire the weaknesses which they are accustomed to address.
You have rolled in millions of money, you and Cacambo; and yet you are not happier than Friar Giroflée and Paquette." "Ha!" said Pangloss to Paquette, "Providence has then brought you amongst us again, my poor child! Do you know that you cost me the tip of my nose, an eye, and an ear, as you may see? What a world is this!" And now this new adventure set them philosophising more than ever.
"Here comes a visitor." "It is Alcibiades." "The wretch! Are you not ashamed to be on intimate terms with him?" "He is a man; he has great faults and great merits, and he is my friend. I do not wish to be on intimate terms with my enemies." Alcibiades knocked at the door, and rushed in. "Papaia! The pair are philosophising together, and talking of yesterday's comedy! This Aristophanes is an ass!
Alfred Russell Wallace, in his Miracles and Modern Science. Mr. Maudsley denied the fact in 1886. Dessoir, in Das Doppel Ich, as quoted by Mr. Berlin. 1845. The examples and much of the philosophising are in the Zusätze, not translated in Mr. Among the various forms of science which are reaching and affecting the new popular tradition, we have reckoned Anthropology.
Thus philosophising, we reached the top of the hill, and viewed with 'reverted eyes' the beautiful prospect that lay bathed in golden sunshine behind us. Cowper says, with that boldness of expressing in poetry the commonest and simplest feelings, which is perhaps one great secret of his originality,
