UNDER CRITICAL NOTE XV.—­OF SILLINESS AND TRUISMS.

“Such is the state of man, that he is never at rest.”—­L.  Murray’s Gram., p. 57.

[FORMULE.—­This is a remark of no wisdom or force, because it would be nearer the truth, to say, “Such is the state of man, that he must often rest,” But, according to Critical Note 15th, “Silly remarks and idle truisms are traits of a feeble style, and when their weakness is positive, or inherent, they ought to be entirely omitted.”  It is useless to attempt a correction of this example, for it is not susceptible of any form worth preserving.]
