are also simple and straightforward.
which is never acquired, and which is
given, we think, only to those who are
justly conscious Of something, it may
DO pedigree or beauty or genius or eff
cheney, which is incommunicable. He
could deal for art with governments as
potentate with potentate. He belonged,
in fact-and it was this which made
him, as an Elglishman, so interesting
to IN order Of men rarely found now
anywhere and scarcely ever in England,
but who would seem to have been fire.
quent i'll the Italy Of the Renaissance,
men conscious of great powers rather
than Of great thoughts, who dare at

than in their brains never are humiliat-

Men OF his type are exceedingly>rare

existed in the Elizabethan period-when
however they rarely demonstrated their
