He told me, hearing me quote Schiller, to beware of the Germans, for they were all Pantheists at heart.

I asked him whether he included Lange and Bunsen, and it appeared that he had never read a German book in his life.

He then flew furiously at Mr.Carlyle, and I found that all he knew of him was from a certain review in the Quarterly.

He called Boehmen a theosophic Atheist.

I should have burst out at that, had I not read the very words in a High Church review the day before, and hoped that he was not aware of the impudent falsehood which he was retailing.
