Synopsis

Excerpt from The Analyst, 1840, Vol. 10: A Quarterly Journal of Science, Literature, Natural History, and the Fine Arts

Ultimately, however, this speculative spirit subsided, and was suc ceeded by a more sober tone, the growth of a more practical habit of reflection and experience. Men gradually became aware that theory and practice were two distinct terms, and they gently relaxed their addiction to the former in favour of the latter; while, satisfying them selves with a more homely and useful course of study, and surrender ing their ideal notions of perfection, they disdained not to take advan tage of the immediate state of affairs by which they were surrounded.
