Excerpt from The Galaxy, Vol. 24: A Magazine of Entertaining Reading; July, 1877, to January, 1878 In the various domains of criticism, whether literary, social, political, or religious, Mr. Arnold has done so much that it would be more conys nient, were I purposing here to exam ine that body of criticism, as well as more accurate, to speak of his genius instead of his culture. But cul ture is the word which Mr. Arnold himself has adopted in his later writ ings, and we cannot drop it as a catch word, though it is certainly, to those who may not have attended carefully to what he means by it, a misleading term.
