- 1804, Henry Bickersteth quoted in Memoirs of the Right Honourable Henry Lord Langdale, Richard Bentley; Volume I., Chapter XIII., page #200:
- […]the most voluptuous and degraded sensations usurp the empire of all moderate, as you will, perhaps, allow me to term them, cœnæsthetical feelings ; while, on the other hand, all high and noble actions are discouraged or ridiculed —everything great or high‐minded is considered as the offspring of youth of inexperience ; and if by chance any remarkable instance of spirit of integrity does take place, the best of mankind are more inclined to praise or wonder than to study and imitate it.
