He offers his opinions on the works of famous writers such as Walt Whitman, Robert Louis Stevenson, and Oscar Wilde, as well as on artistic movements like Impressionism and Symbolism. He also delves into topics such as the psychology of love and sexual desire, the role of women in society, and the importance of education.Throughout the book, Ellis displays a deep understanding of human nature and a commitment to social progress. He advocates for greater freedom and tolerance in all aspects of life, and his writing is characterized by a sense of empathy and compassion for his fellow human beings.Overall, ""Impressions and Comments"" is a thought-provoking and insightful collection of essays that offers a unique perspective on the cultural and social issues of its time. It remains a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of ideas, literature, and social reform.The musically voiced bells sound the hour from the great church, rich in beauty and tradition, and we walk across the market-place, this side the castle hill--the hill which held for six hundred years the precious jewelled crucifix, with the splinter of the ""True Cross"" in its secret recess, a careless English queen once lost from her neck--towards our quiet inn, a real museum of interesting things fittingly housed, for supper of Suffolk ham and country ale, and then to bed, before the long walk of the morrow.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
