THE FALLACY OF EXTERNALS.
In the Times' report of the final meeting of the Peace Conference at Edinburgh, it is remarked that
"Messrs. Cobden and Bright were the great lions of the evening."
Apparently it is probable that they were; although some may consider them to have been figuring as lambs rather than lions: but then the lamb is not the only creature typical of passive endurance. Appearances, however, are not realities, and the reporter, in inferring the animal from the integument, made a mistake which has occurred before. Mr. Bright and Mr. Cobden were going about in lions' skins; but, as those who had just heard them might have perceived, they were not exactly lions.
