Riassunto

Excerpt from James T. Fields: Biographical Notes and Personal Sketches, With Unpublished Fragments

This was quite as much as was wise or possible to say to students still under their master's super vision, but in his lecture on Fiction he reiter ates his faith ih the value Of literature of the imagination in forming the young mind.

James Russell Lowell has lately given expres sion to this same truth, in his speech at the Lit crary Fund Dinner in London. Science, Mr. Lowell says, can never extinguish imagination, nor that thirst which human nature feels for some thing more piercing than facts are apt to be. I think that as long as the human race lasts wonder and delight in natural things, which, perhaps, are not useful, and which are certainly not scientific.
