Religious minds prefer scepticism. The true saint is a profound sceptic; a total disbeliever in human reason, who has more than once joined hands on this ground with some who were at best sinners. Bernard was a total disbeliever in Scholasticism; so was Voltaire.
Lenine is a Russian, but his dogmas are not Russian, but German. Bolshevism is the product of perverted German scholasticism. Even the industrial workers as a whole, in their present stage of development, were not to be trusted, according to the Bolshevist leaders.
p. 156 glout thy Eyes. Scowl; frown. II, p. 433. p. 160 an Antick. A fantastic measure. This is a favourite word with Mrs. Behn. p. 165 Aquinius his Case. This is, I take it, some confused allusion to the great Dominican Doctor, S. Thomas Aquinas, who was regarded as being the supreme Master of scholasticism and casuistry.

The masters of this age, chiefly through the weight of their authority as writers, exercised a wider European influence than any of their predecessors. We English, for example, have given Palladio's name to the Italian style adopted by us in the seventeenth century.
Taste leads our knowledge from the mysteries of science into the open expanse of common sense, and changes a narrow scholasticism into the common property of the human race. Here the highest genius must leave its particular elevation, and make itself familiar to the comprehension even of a child. Strength must let the Graces bind it, and the arbitrary lion must yield to the reins of love.
And my warning takes the form of saying that, if people are to think in this confused way, unconsciously borrowing from a great speculator like Hegel, and then depriving the borrowed conception of the peculiar subtlety of statement that made it useful in its place, and if we readers are for our part to accept such scholasticism as is found in Dr.
