Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Thus to Revisit: Some Reminiscences What follows is meant for the Uninstructed Reader. The Uninstructed are not the Unintelligent. You will find good natural - even peasant - intelligences that, knowing nothing of the facts of a given case or of a given branch of Knowledge, will yet, on the facts being laid before them, arrive at surprisingly just conclusions. On the other hand the Instructed are only too often the unintelligent; when they are not unintelligent they are only too often the wilfully self-blinded. They make for safety, just as, a year or so ago certain men made for safety by means of the S.I.W. It is a sad fact that too many - perhaps a majority - of those who, having been instructed, instruct us in turn, in Literature, do not know what those letters mean. It is a fact sadder still that most of those who know the significance of those majuscules have little if any means of forming judgments as to Literature. They love Books; they pass longish hours in reading; but - as is to be awaited - the temperaments of the above Instructed, render their teachings disagreeable in manner and repulsive in matter, to those accustomed to lives passed outside studies lined with frequently unimportant and usually not attractive, Printed Matter.
