414 ENGLISH LITERATURE 



One science I have left altogether out of account. Psychology of the 

 people, demopsychology, whatever its name, has been lately revived 

 after a long sleep in the volumes of its almost forgotten journal, 

 a sleep that seemed to be the sleep of death. But it is yet too form- 

 less, even in its modern shape, for satisfactory use. Including every 

 social achievement, politics, art, language, letters, it bids fair to be 

 a science of things in general; and till it is completed in that 

 perfection, sociology will comfortably serve our turn.
