330 PHILOSOPHICAL NOTES ON 



"There are those who are echoes, and there are those who are voices 

 There are some writers who represent faithfully, and express strongly, the 



dominant tendencies, opinions, habits, characteristics of their age 



There are others who either start new ways of thinking, for which the public 

 around them are still unprepared, or who throw themselves in opposition to 



the dominant tendencies of their times It is not surprising that the 



first class are by far the most popular." — " Carlyle's Message to his Age," by 

 W. E. H. Lecky, Contemporary Review, Oct. 1891.
