It is the faculty which contains within itself the seeds at once of its own and of social renovation.
Herndon even describes the scene in detail: "The time fixed for the marriage was the first day of January, 1841. Careful preparations for the happy occasion were made at the Edwards mansion. The house underwent the customary renovation; the furniture was properly arranged, the rooms neatly decorated, the supper prepared, and the guests invited.
To use his words, "They fall aff the shanty roof loike the laves aff the tthrees!" Somehow or other all these things go unremedied.

By recommending and spreading those two he at one time thought he had introduced the great renovation himself. From the moment when he saw that the conflict would lead to an exasperated struggle he refused any longer to be anything but a spectator. As an actor in the great ecclesiastical combat Erasmus had voluntarily left the stage. But he does not give up his ideal.
