His inclinations led him (he fancied) almost alike to poetry and metaphysical discussions. I say 'he fancied, ' because I believe the former to have been paramount, and that it would have gained the mastery even had he struggled against it.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
