Book excerpt: Excerpt from The British Critic, Vol. 23: And Quarterly Theological Review This beauty of external form is not the least - it is perhaps the greatest source of the influence of the Grecian philosophy. It is also a peculiar condition required in an instrument of educa tion. Those at least will acknowledge this, who believe with Plato in the close harmony of soul and body; in the analogy of beauty to itself wherever it really exists, in sound or language, colour or feeling, proportion or virtue; in the identity of real beauty and real goodness, and therefore in the necessity of pro viding for the young, as our Maker has provided for us, an external creation of loveliness to be the type and monitor and preparation for an internal creation of virtue.
