Murry recommends two titles in English on Rousseau, and notes: “[John] Morley was very unjust to Rousseau, the mystical element in Rousseau’s vision was quite alien to him. I do not blame Morley. It is a very intoxicating and dangerous kind of mysticism when it is misunderstood,” and concludes that he would feel “much safer” in a society that accepted Morley’s, rather than Rousseau’s, principles. Else, clean and tight.
