In my account of the conversation already mentioned, I shall be able to make myself completely understood only to those among my audience who will be able to guess what I can do no more than suggest, who will supply what I am compelled to omit, and who, above all, need but to be reminded and not taught. IN MY ACCOUNT OF THE CONVERSATION ALREADY MENTIONED I SHALL BE ABLE TO MAKE MYSELF COMPLETELY UNDERSTOOD ONLY TO THOSE AMONG MY AUDIENCE WHO WILL BE ABLE TO GUESS WHAT I CAN DO NO MORE THAN SUGGEST WHO WILL SUPPLY WHAT I AM COMPELLED TO OMIT AND WHO ABOVE ALL NEED BUT TO BE REMINDED NOT TAUGHT
ed, both in their daring utterance of forbidden truths, and in the still more daring conception of the hopes with which they astonished me. It therefore seemed to me to be in the highest degree important that a record of this conversation should be made, so that others might be incited to form a judgment concerning the striking views and conclusions it contains: and, to this end, I had special grounds for believing that I should do well to avail myself of the opportunity afforded by this course of lectures.

HICH THEY DISPLAYED BOTH IN THEIR DARING UTTERANCE OF FORBIDDEN TRUTHS AND IN THAT STILL MORE DARING CONCEPTION OF THE HOPES WITH WHICH THEY ASTONISHED ME IT THEREFORE SEEMS TO ME TO BE IN THE HIGHEST DEGREE IMPORTANT THAT A RECORD OF THIS CONVERSATION SHOULD BE MADE SO THAT OTHERS MIGHT BE INCITED TO FORM A JUDGMENT CONCERNING THE STRIKING VIEWS AND CONCLUSIONS IT CONTAINS AND TO THIS END I HAD SPECIAL GROUNDS FOR BELIEVING THAT I SHOULD DO WELL TO AVAIL MYSELF OF THE OPPORTUNITY AFFORDED BY THIS COURSE OF LECTURES I AM WELL AWARE OF THE NATURE OF THE COMMUNITY TO WHOSE SERIOUS CONSIDERATION I NOW WISH TO COMMEND THAT CONVERSATION I KNOW IT TO BE A COMMUNITY WHICH IS STRIVING TO EDUCATE AND ENLIGHTEN ITS MEMBERS ON A SCALE SO MAGNIFICENTLY OUT OF PROPORTION TO ITS SIZE THAT IT MUST PUT ALL LARGER CITIES TO SHAME THIS BEING SO I PRESUME I MAY TAKE IT FOR GRANTED THAT IN A QUARTER WHERE SO MUCH IS DONE FOR THE THINGS OF WHICH I WISH TO SPEAK PEOPLE MUST ALSO THINK A GOOD DEAL ABOUT THEM
