Excerpt from Lacon, or Many Things in Few Words: Addressed to Those Who Think
Most of the mamms and positions advanced 1n the present volume, are founded on two simple truisms, that men are the same and that the passions are the powerful and disturbing forces, the greater or the less prevalence of which, gives individuality to character. But we must not only express clearly, but think deep ly, nor can we concede xto Buffon that style alone 15 that quality that will immortalizean author. The os says of Montaigne, and the analogy of Butler, would live forever, in spite of their style. Style is indeed the valet of genius, and an able one too; but as the true gentleman will appear, even in rags, so true gen ius will shine even through the coarsest style.
