Criticises vegetarians' belief in the 'grand union between the market-garden and the moral and mental attributes', by denying that a man whose life is dominated by vegetables 'can attain to any very high degree of intellectual culture'. Concludes that the whole system is an absurdity but stands 'open to correction'. |
