Didst thou ever see a white bear? cried my father, turning his head round to Trim, who stood at the back of his chair:——No, an' please your honor, replied the corporal.——But thou could'st discourse about one, Trim, said my father, in case of need?——How is it possible, brother, quoth my uncle Toby, if the corporal never saw one?——'Tis the fact I want, said my father—and the possibility of it, is as follows.
(Sterne, The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy V:xlii.)

Just a Reminder: Readings for Wednesday (2/16)

The first group presentation is on Wednesday, on the issue of how sensibility and sentimentality are different.  The readings, which the group presenting has assigned, are from Mary Wollstonecraft's Vindication of the Rights of Woman and David Hume's Treatise on Human Nature (click on the links to get the PDFs, which are also linked to over there in the sidebar.)  You should print these out, read them, and bring them to class tomorrow.
