Excerpt from The Bench and Bar of TexasThe definition of that intuitive principle or subtle quality of the mind, which we call genius, has never yet been formulated, at least, it has never received an intelligent interpretation among men. Its source lies concealed in the unexplored recesses of human nature, nor is its presence known until, awakened by the touch of opportunity, it bursts from its gyves, and ¿ashes upon the world with a light that illuminates the extending scope of its own vision.But whatever may be the abstract nature of genius, its qualities are readily recognized and its manifestations easily judged. Its course is upward and onward, and its ¿ight is bounded by no definable horizon, while its zenith is hidden somewhere in the realms of eternal and untar hished light.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
