CHAPTER CLXVII.—p. 292.

A MOTTO WHICH IS WELL CHOSEN BECAUSE NOT BEING APPLICABLE IT SEEMS TO BE SO. THE AUTHOR NOT ERRANT HERE OR ELSEWHERE. PHILOSOPHY AND OTHER-OSOPHIES.

Much from my theme and friend have I digressed, But poor as I am, poor in stuff for thought, And poor in thought to make of it the best, Blame me not, Gentles, if I soon am caught By this or that, when as my themes suggest Aught of collateral aid which may be wrought Into its service: Blame me not, I say; The idly musing often miss their way.

CHARLES LLOYD.
