Excerpt from Baldwin: Being Dialogues on Views and Aspirations To be brief, Baldwin exists; and it matters not whether in the kingdom of the subjective or in that of the objective. What is more important, is of his mode of existence. If, as is usually the case, and as I distinctly request, this introductory chapter be read the last of all, the reader will not require to be told that the existence of Baldwin has been, so far as the Past is concerned, equally uneventful'and eccentric He has, in good sooth (and this may lead some to consider him as a denizen of the subjective world), lived a life of exclusively mental experiences, never doing or being done to, but merely receiving a series of impressions and responding thereunto by a series of Opinions. These opinions, if you have read the book, you will sufficiently understand there remains only to explain the circumstances which conduced to their formation in other words, to say something of Baldwin's impressions.
