fests itself in Beauty; it manifests itself in the perfect
Dominion of Man over Nature; it manifests itself in the
perfect State and Polity of Nations; it manifests itself
in Science;--in short, it manifests itself in those conceptions
which, in the strict and peculiar sense, I term Ideas, and to
which I have directed attention in many ways, both in the
lectures which I delivered here last winter,* and in others
which have some time ago appeared in print, f In order
to explain my
fundamental
conception by means of the low-
est form of the Idea, concerning which we may venture to
hope that we shall be able at once to attain the requisite
clearness--namely Beauty:--There is much talk of the
