About this product

Product Information

Excerpt from Livonian Tales: The Disponent; The Wolves; The Jewess In the common style of colloquial intercourse to be met with in what is usually deminated general society - namely, that periodical collision of a number of persons, of which a large majority repeat what they hear, and a small mirity think what they say, and those by means all think rightly - it naturally follows that the emptiest sophistries will pass current equally as well as the profoundest truths - nay, generally much better; as, like all meretricious imitations, they are most calculated to please common eyes at first sight. A favourite futility which, as such, has doubtless never been out of vogue at any time, but which from the peculiar character of the age enters largely into the small-talk of respectable people of the present day, consists in extolling the simplicity which accompanies a state of nature, and lamenting the refinements which follow in the train of civilization. Implying by the first, that fabulous purity, when, wild in woods the ble savage ran; and by the second, those perverted luxuries to which a false cultivation has given birth; and thus contriving to give in one breath a wrong idea to a right definition, and a wrong definition to a right idea. The simplicity of savage life! God help the poor creatures! Where is there the most perverted artificiality of the falsest and foulest civilization that can for one instant be compared with it?
