Note 1036 — Chapter IV · LATER GERMAN CRITICISM.
Reading edition
One could develop, with special relevance, the philosopher’s peremptory limitation of the attractive season of womankind to the time between the ages of eighteen and eight-and-twenty: and his positive anathema on the retroussé nose. It is astonishing how this feature disturbs critics! Cf. Lessing, Alison, Carrière, &c.
