      the progression of human improvement—in the perfectibility $ man . There is genuine poetry in those woods- —and qu those moss and heather swells and dells . The richest mass of utilitarian treasures , those leaders to perfectibility , lie * in the springs of poetry : springs of purest sources—and they stream along aiding , nurturing , and encouraging all that is pure—peace with

      your own breast and love to others . Poetry is feeling ' s truth— - its language is truth feelingly uttered—feelings are our soul ' s strength—the stays of our intellects . Utility ? Is not happiness utility ? ' Yes . ' Then you store up utility , at no one ' damage , by roaming Sherwood forest , and going mad , if you choose , in the place in which I have been reveluDg .

Most empires have been lost through over-anxiety to keep them : most revolutions have

      been provoked , by conduct dictated by the fear of revolution . But bodies of men seldom learn wisdom fronrnthe errors of their predecessors : the same blunders are repeated , whenever the same circumstances recur . The middle classes of this country , whose opinions arid sentiments are represented by the daily press , are repeating the very same series of errors by which almost ajl governing bodies nave been ruiijed .

Of this power , which is Bhare 4 among the people of property , the people of large property had formerly
