...merely individuality, but individuality acting with force and steadiness in a given direction. Perhaps among all literary men Dante is the highest type of this. In modern times, Voltaire (with all his weaknesses) and Lessing, and among living men Carlyle and Emerson, are examples of the same thing.

I ask every man interested in pure and efficient government if the support of the club is not a worthy object of his consideration? Membership blanks and copies...
