GOOD 2ASTE. [Frem the Saturday RevlewJ An aphorism has been for some time going ?bout the world-which, like most other aphorisms, is palpably false, or, we should rather say, palpably incomplete-asserting thc impropriety of disputing about tastes. It has of course a superficial plausibility, or it would not have attained so extensive a currency. When one nerson says "I like my meat half xaw," anti another says "I like mine roasted to a rag." there is apparently no fur? ther room for argument. Each controversial? ist relies upon the testimony of his own palate, and of that testimony no one, by the necessity of the case, can be a snfflcient judge except himself. Yet the doctrine inferred is in open conflict with our dally experience. Civilized beings are, as a rule, rather unwilling to talk at great length about such strictly sensual Pleasures as those of eating and drinking, 'et in certain places where the instincts of the male animal are not kept in check by thc refining Influence of feminine society-such, for example, as regimental messes, college halls, and club coffee-rooms-lhere are few top 38 dlcassed with more eagerness than the inuits of wines and cookery. According to the popular doctrine such discussions ought to como to a speedy termination. When one man has confessed that he like* public-house port, black and sweet and strong and capable of producing intoxication at a minimum of time and expenditure, and another has asserted his possession of more re? fined tastes, there should be no more to be said. The final appeal has been made, aid there is no way of bringing the question again again Into couru Experience, however, shows that few men, even of most undoubted moral courage, will dare to make such an assertion aa we have just mentioned. Host men would be far moro willing to admit that they were re? ligions or political heretics than to confess to a perverted taste in regard to wine, and would be almost as willing to admit that they wore inclined to some moral depravity. It is a fact, therefore, that even in such matters-where, as one might have thought, the Influence of au? thority would be reduced to a miaimum, and the competence of each man's own conscious? ness unreservedly admitted-there is a body of accepted doctrine, and that there are as great varieties of skill and Judgment as in questions which bj common consent are capable of be? ing brought to some decisive test. In fact, we might with some degree of plausibility reverse the ordinary doctrine. We might say that matters of taste are precisely those on which ?ny amount of discussion may fairly take place. There is not much use In nrgnlDg a mathematical question; because one man is absolutely right and another is absolutely wrong, and the decision between them must depena not, properly speaking, upon argu? ment, but upon unravelling some confusion of ideas. But where taste is In some way in? volved, there is always room lor comparing a great variety Of views, and for taming a sub . feet about in different lights until its true bear? ings become evident. ' Thc logic of the question k? worth a little ex? amination, because it applies to matters of Auch more importance than those in whisk the sente of taste, In its li'"c~ai acceptation, ls principally concerned, in most discussions _?boutart,"for example, we are met by asimi? lar perplexity. One raau hites Raffaello, ano? ther has a distinct preference for Hogarth; ls lt a matter of right br wrong, or is lt a perfectly open question, to be settled ultimately by counting heads? Most people would revolt from tho last conclusion, and yet they have a certain difficulty in seeing their way to the first. We may talk about the eternal and im? mutable principles of thc beautiful, and de? clare that a failure to perceive them indicates sheer stupidity and bluntness of the percep? tive faculties. But then the difficulty occurs which presents Itself in discussions about morality. The assertion that certain princi? ples are everlas* ingly true is very convenient, and would savj much trouble If lt were ac? cepted. Bat does it mean more than that thc man who 'mrdtes the assertion is right, and that his adversary ls wrong ? When we apply lt to questions, if there are any such questions, on which wc arc all agreed, it is superlluotts. When we apply it to disputed questions, t he very fact that there Isa dispute ls a sufficient answer. We are all agreed that it is wrong to commit murder, and therefore, for practical purposes, it does not much matter whether we know that lt is wrong by a direct intuition or by a process of observation and reasoning. But when we come to a more doubtful point, such as the comparative merits of an ascetic or a utilitarian sohool of morality, our lnluitlous do not help us out, because they appear to tell in opposite directions. This ls the case tn most mattera et art; on? man'? consciousne?* teil? him that a certain picture ls beautiful, and another man's that it Is ugly; which is right, and who is to be the judge ? There is not even a claimant to infallibility upon such mat tors, and apparently we are landed in n hope? less and diametrical contradiction of opinion. Yet, If we give up these everlasting and intui? tive principles, we apparently come to thc equally awkward conclusion that every mau is his own Pope, or, In ether words, that there is no right er wrong In the matter. 1 kc admirer of Mozart is en the same level with the admir? er of the popular melodies ol'the music halls, and all that can be said is that anything which pleases anybody is so tar good, and thc more people lt pleases th? .better. We have at best ?he old doctrine of the greatest happiness of the greatest number, which would apparently sanction any ort, however vulgar and offensive the most cultivated people may conceive it to be, simply on the ground of its popularity. The escape from this ilLemma ls, however, tolerably plain, and it may clear up the argu? ment as tho real meaning of thu aphorism about tastes. Let us take, for example; the case in which individual taste appears to have the most indisputable supremacy. One man, to take our original illustration, likes his meat underdone, whilst another prefers that it should be roasted to the verge ot burning. Is it Im eissiblc to ger.behind these simple assertions ! ust we reur.in forever in a state o? absolute indecision, and admit that thc Greenlandcr who likis to bolt large gobbets of taw blubber ls as good a judge os thc most refined ol' Pari alaa artists? In one sense, of course, there is nothing shocking about this conclusion. (Jae thlng may be suitable to a savage within hail of the North Pole, and quite a different thing to a gentleman who boasts that he is at thc fo? cus of modern civilization. But if the Parisian were suddenly to take to raw blubber, we should pronounce him to be wrong with os much confidence as If he were to declare that he would give up washing, or to proclaim the propriety of infanticide. On what grounds, then,should wc be entitled to base our decision, aid will they help us In determining more delicate questions, suchjas the exact number of minutes during which a given piece of meat should be exposed to the tiru ? Thu most ob vioas condition is ??ik? we should prefer that taste which ls most conducive to health. A Entlcman who should take to gorging blub r in modern Paris would speedily become offensive both to hlmseir and others, though he might be an ornament to Esquimaux socie? ty. This, however, takes us but a very littlu way. The controversies which actually occur require afar more delicate test for their satis? factory decision. We may say that nobody should drink enough champagne to interfere with his digestive faculties, but that will not enable us to decide whether the lover ul sweet orordry champagne ls on thc whole In the right. The next remark, therefore, must be that, with certain qualifications, the man who has the greatest powers of discrimination deserves the greatest respect In practice there is so much Imposition in such matters that it Is hard to decide accurately between thu claims of rival lodges; but we may assume that liiere is in l .'t an enormous difference between thu deli? cacy of different palates; and that whereas 1 some beings in human form-are unable to dis- i tinguish between port of 13:10 aud ol' ISM), i there ore others who rival Saucho Panza's uncles, and could detect the taste of leather and Iron from the key and thong which had been dropped into thu cask some years previ? ously. It must be admitted that, asa rule thu , judgment of the man who lias the most delicate ( instrument for detecting infinitesimal varia? tions of flavor should receive the gr?ntest ?weight, as we should think most ot thu musi? cian who had the finest ear for minute varia? tions of sound. The pleasure which can bu derived from aay object of thu senses is gen u,I ia Proportion to the acuteness with which they can judge bf ifs'precise qualities; to every increase in capacity there must cor? respond an increased number of graf ideations, though it may possibly be urged that in some - coses a sense might be so morbidly acme as to i GUSS rin lhan ^^^SS- I yeloped at the expense of others The savage for example, pays for the keenness of ids vS 11 ion by an obtuseness of the intellectual nod? ers, and a man may become too ex?Sv?ha a machine for detecting culinary qu?I and a suffer a certain atrophy o' the rest ? l? Bical, to say nothing ol his intellectual and ?Si ' c< ral, faculties. We will not, however,Tirano this investigation, which would require mat v delicate qualifications of the argument Fur there remains another consideration which ls probably the most important. If wu imagine ?^dispute between two men of equal powers of discrimination, LOW are we to reach ?.d?cision? Suppose that one of them pre? fers a sweeter wine than his rival, u I c! mS^mS^^r9- of JudSInS between them ? li JThc difflculty ls undoubtedly great, and lt is on I ? account of its greatness that different fashions become prevalent at different timeB In an ap? parently arbitrary manner. It is easier to de? cide, that ls, in accordance with common prac? tice - than to go profoundly into the merits of the question. And perhaps in matters of eat iag and drinking it 1B as well that a speedy de? cision should be thus attainable. There is, however, a principle applicable to the case, when it ls worth seeking for an application. There is a certain correlation between the various faculties of men walsh may ultimately bring what are apparently questions of mere physical taste before a higner tribunal. A savage, we may presume, likes his meat as raw as possible; the meat undergoes a greater change in proportion to the increase of civili? zation; and we may therefore presume that it should be modified so much as to avoid shocking the delicacy generated by the existing stage of refinement, and yet not BO much as to destroy the variety of flavor which a cultivated palate is capable of appreciating. Or, take a more definite example, there was a certain analogy, and probably avery close one, between the port wine which aided or obfuscated the legal penetration of a past generation of Chancel? lors and judges, and the thinner and more deli? cate fluids in favor with their successors. The obvious connection between national character and national dishes is too obvious to be pointed oat, and lt may bc assumed that a certain re? action exists, so that by improving the British beefsteak we might insensibly elevate the British character. We admit that arguments of this order are of difficult application, and that there are wide limits of uncertainty with? in which differences of individual taste may fairly oscillate. But that only amounts to say? ing that there are a great many dishes which may be eaten or declined without moral turpi? tude, and that there are many points on which differences of taste and character may co-exist with great advantage to the country. Th? conclnsion, then, is that even in ques? tions of eating and drinking careful observa? tion would lead us to the opinion that they are Intimately connected with various social aud moral principles, and that there is conse? quently abundant room for legitimate argu? ment. AB a rule, in mattere of such refine? ment, we have to judge rather by instinct than by the coarser logical methods; yet the instinct itself is not an ultimate fact, but, like moral instincts, a matter for historical and scientific inquiry. The disputes which may arise will have to be decided In thc last resort by thc or? dinary methods of inductive observation. Of course we must finally come to certain axioms. as in every kind ol scientific inquiry. What they are, and how their validity ls to be estab? lished, is a question for psychologists; but as a matter of fact they are axioms in which every oue believes, though why lie believes, and how they bear upon uny given problem, may bo matter for discussion. And further, what we have said in reference to beefsteaks and wine is equally applicable, with certain modifica? tions, to paintings, music and poetry; (hough we have preferred to take tho case In which the supremacy cf Individual taste is at first sight the most unquestionable. coaucEitciAL y Ens.
