However irregular and desultory his talk, there is method in the fragments.
Strona 152 - And where there exists any mental idiosyncrasy — where there is a deficient verbal memory, or an inadequate sense of logical dependence, or but little perception of order, or a lack of constructive ingenuity; no amount of instruction will remedy the defect. Nevertheless, some practical result may be expected from a familiarity with the principles of style. The endeavour to conform to laws may tell, though slowly.
Strona 69 - We shotild understand the circumstances which, to his mind, made it seem true, or persuaded him to write it, knowing that it was not so.
