He was a dreamer, but he never dreamed merely for the sake of dreaming; he always rushed to translate his dreams into acts. The practical side of him was so strong that he might have been a great statesman or reformer, had not his imagination, stimulated by a torrential fluency of language, overborne his will.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
