his talent places him amongst the classics; it is only by his lively appreciation, of special, complex, and sensible facts, by his energy and fierceness, by the rather heavy richness of his imagination, by the depth of his coloring, that he belongs to his race. Like Addison and Burke, he resembles a strange graft, fed and transformed by the sap of the national stock. At all events, this judgment is the strongest mark of the difference between the two nations. To reach the English intellect, a Frenchman must make two voyages. When he has crossed the first interval, which is wide, he comes upon Macaulay. Let him re-embark; he must accomplish a second passage, just as long, to arrive at Carlyle for instance--a mind fundamentally Germanic, on the genuine English soil.

"It is difficult to relate without a pitying smile, that in the sacrifice of the mass, Loyola saw transubstantiation take place, and that, as he stood praying on the steps of the Church of St. Dominic, he saw the Trinity in Unity, and wept aloud with joy and wonder."--Macaulay, VI. 468; Ranke, "History of the Popes."] [Footnote 302: Macaulay, VI. 39; An Essay on William Pitt, Earl of Chatham.] [Footnote 303: Macaulay, V. 27; Milton.] [Footnote 304: Macaulay, V. 35; Milton.] [Footnote 305: Macaulay, VII. 109; "Life and Writings of Addison."] [Footnote 306: See in his "Essay on the Life and Writings of Addison" (VII. 78) Macaulay's observations on the "Campaign."] [Footnote 307: Macaulay, VI. 549; "Warren Hastings."] [Footnote 308: Ibid. 553.] [Footnote 309: Macaulay, VI. 555; "Warren Hastings."] [Footnote 310: Ibid.
