  PREFACE. 
  

  

  lj 
  TAVING 
  now 
  no 
  immediate 
  pros- 
  

   pect 
  of 
  being 
  able 
  to 
  expand 
  or 
  

   to 
  illustrate 
  the 
  argument 
  contained 
  in 
  the 
  

   following 
  pages, 
  I 
  republish 
  it 
  with 
  very 
  

   little 
  alteration 
  from 
  the 
  form 
  in 
  which 
  

   it 
  originally 
  appeared' 
  in 
  " 
  Good 
  Words." 
  

   I 
  am 
  well 
  aware 
  how 
  much 
  it 
  requires 
  

   both 
  expansion 
  and 
  illustration. 
  But 
  I 
  

   hope 
  that 
  at 
  least 
  the 
  main 
  lines 
  of 
  that 
  

   argument 
  are 
  traced 
  with 
  sufficient 
  

   clearness 
  to 
  enable 
  others 
  with 
  more
