Individuality: Or, the Apostolic Twelve Before and After Pentecost

303 pp. "As a certain vein runs through a geological formation, so a certain disposition runs through a human mind. You can not expel it. It must be recognized and dealt with. Certain temperamental types have long been recognized in human nature. There is a nervous temperament; a sanguine temperament; a dull phlegmatic temperament; a melancholy temperament. As the alphabet may be broken up into tens of thou sands of words by the adjustment of letters differently, so the primary qualities that inhere in human nature may come down and spell out the different individualities of different men, as they actually do; and by reason of this, men are of different degrees of endowment, some having one gift and some another."
