TFanaticism is patriot- dum carriod to excoss. Tho differonce is ono of degroes, not of kind, A fanatic is n man who oxalts a principle Into s passion ; who subordi- nate Iarge things to smoller ones, rearrzuging his universo on a new and mistaken system who coustructs a religion out of his own extravagunces. Sparlacus was & patriot ; Jack Cade wan o fanatic,. The Jack Cade of Blhaks- peave and of bistory, It must bo underatood, is vory dilforent from tho Jack Cade of Judgo Courad’s play.
