Lydia Maria Child, Letters of Lydia Maria Child (ed. John Greenleaf Whittier, Wendell Phillips, Harriet Winslow Sewall), To Miss Lucy Osgood. (search)
To Miss Lucy Osgood. Wayland, 1869. I have read a good many of Taine's papers on Art, and always with great zest. His descriptions of Venice in Les Deux Mondes is wonderfully glowing and poetic. It was almost like seeing that city of enchantment. Max Muller's Clips I have never seen. The greatest extravagance I have committed for years was buying his Science of language, price seven dollars, as a birthday present for my philological mate. His habit of digging for the origin of words has proved contagious, and he often expresses surprise at the help my quick guesses afford him in his patient researches. I resolutely read Max Muller's Science of language, and picked up a good many new ideas and valuable suggestions; but to read it with full understanding required a great deal more learning than I possess. A friend is accustomed to say that my bark is worse than my bite ; and it is something so with regard to my theological intolerance. For instance, I have given yearly t

, took him out of these narrow channels of opinion. It is highly significant that whereas Mrs. Stowe or her followers would have thought of themselves as writing fiction considerably for the sake of its moral consequences, Eggleston, having read Taine's Art in the Netherlands, Published in English at New York in 1871. undertook to portray the life of southern Indiana in the faithful, undoctrinaire spirit of a Dutch painter. His first novel, The Hoosier schoolmaster (1871), remains his mostother excuse for departing from the prudent policy of avoiding in history any treatment of those still alive and active, is that at this date (1919) it does not seem that Santayana's future career will belong to America. If a European critic like Taine were to ask for an American book on philosophy containing a distinct and comprehensive view of human life, its aims and diverse manifestations, we could not mention anything more appropriate than Santayana's Life of reason (5 vols., 1905-06).
