Excerpt from Library Notes
Matthew Hale. The eyes of critics, said Landor, whether in commending or carping, are both on one side, like a turbot's. Truth, as Humanity knows it, said Bulwer, is not what the schoolmen call it, one and indivisible it is like light, and splits not only into ele mentary colors, but into innumerable tints. Truth with Raphael'is not the same as truth with Titian truth with Shakespeare is not the same as truth with Milton truth with St. Xavier is not the same as truth with Luther; truth with Pitt is not the same as truth with Fox. Each man takes from life his favorite truth, as each man takes from light his favorite color.
