Excerpt from Two Thousand Years After: Or a Talk in a Cemetery
Aside from the intentions just noted, it may not but be seen that a dialogic form is that best adapted to a manner of composition, where frequent explanations are rendered necessary in order that meanings may be made plain.
In the arguments here presented, it is assumed that the capability of man is tripartite but that everything else in na ture is strictly dual. If such a distinction be not clearly made evident, then the labor of the effort is a barren one, and the trouble taken amounts to nothing. If, on the contrary, the writer makes his subject understood, then must it be seen by the reader that the mysteries of life are just no mysteries at all; and for a man to understand himself, it needs only that he inquire.
