In some way we must be fallen angels, one with intelligence as such; and a great disdain for empiricism of the sensationalist sort has always characterized this school of thought, which, on the whole, has reigned supreme at Oxford and in the Scottish universities until the present day. But now there are signs of its giving way to a wave of revised empiricism.
Although Locke was a realist, Berkeley an idealist, Hume a skeptic, and Mill what has been called a sensationalist; yet all were empiricists of a sort, and emphasized the necessity of founding our knowledge upon experience. Now, Locke was familiar with the writings of Descartes, whose work he admired, but whose rationalism offended him.
The photographic apparatus is awanting and the photograph cannot therefore be there. Diderot was a sensationalist. For this school, as Villey remarks, l'image est le décalque de la sensation, and he refers not merely to Condillac the friend of Diderot but to his continuator Taine whose dictum we have already quoted.
"Ouida in her old age has written her best book." Evening Sun. "It is the strongest she has written with the possible exception of 'Under Two Flags." N. Y. Press. "Ouida beats them all; her latest story is more wicked than those of the modern sensationalist, and better told." Chicago Journal. "In some respects the ablest of all her books." N. Y. Herald. "There is not a dull page in the novel."
