Thackeray, yet all who are familiar with his writings will acknowledge that there is much truth in it: Unlike Dickens, Thackeray has more genius than geniality. Where there is genius of the highest kind, the geniality wall always be in proportion, as we see in the illustrious instance of Shakespeare. But in genius of a high kind, though not of the highest, geniality, as in the case of Dante may be altogether wanting. Without genius of the highest kind without genius of a high kind. Thackeray is as destitute of geniality as it is possible for a man of genius to be. Even more important than faith in God is faith in nature. This faith Thackeray does his utmost to destroy.

Germany, like Russia, is indebted to her conquest by the Sarmatians — a comparatively southern people — for a civilization which is not indigenous. The sunny land of France, inhabited by a people of Roman descent, and England, whose controlling element of society is of Norman origin, are the masters of the world. Who was Raphael ? Who Canova ?
