Excerpt from Prose Masterpieces From Modern Essayists: Irving, Leigh Hunt, Lamb, De Quincey, Landor, Sydney Smith, Thackeray, Emerson, Matthew Arnold, John Morley

The series closes with an eloquent argument by Newman, (whose vigorous prose is too little known to American readers) on the source of true authority, and a characteristically incisive and forcible paper by Stephen, in behalf of the right and duty of the individual to think and to speak for himself.
