Excerpt from The American Bar Association: The Ideal and the Actual in the Law, the Annual Address Delivered by James C. Carter at the Thirteenth Annual Meeting, August 21, 1890 But, notwithstanding the extravagant manifestations of the ideal tendency, it is a highly useful attribute of our nature. It constitutes the true nobility of the individual man, and its activity marks a spiritual and progressive, as distinguished from a sensual and sliding, age. It is necessary indeed that it be stimulated, or restrained, according to the field of activity in which it operates, and the subject upon which it may be em ployed. The poet, the painter, the sculptor, the musical com poser may give it a free rein, but the statesman, the moralist, the jurist, must check and moderate it, and blend it with an exercise of those other faculties which deal with the world of matter and life, rather than with the realm of ideas.
