MP3 Audio CD. Are You a Bromide? or The Sulphitic Theory (in Short Nonfiction Collection Vol. 013 )
The terms "Bromide" and "Sulphite" as applied to psychological rather
than chemical analysis have already become, among the illuminati, so
widely adopted that these denominations now stand in considerable danger
of being weakened in significance through a too careless use. The
adjective "bromidic" is at present adopted as a general vehicle, a
common carrier for the thoughtless damnation of the Philistine. The time
has come to formulate, authoritatively, the precise scope of intellect
which such distinctions suggest and to define the shorthand of
conversation which their use has made practicable. The rapid spread of
the theory, traveling from Sulphite to Sulphite, like the spark of a
pyrotechnic set-piece, till the thinking world has been over-violently
illuminated, has obscured its genesis and diverted attention from the
simplicity and force of its fundamental principles. In this, its
progress has been like that of slang, which, gaining in popularity, must
inevitably decrease in aptness and definiteness.
In attempting to solve the problem which for so long was the despair of
philosophers I have made modest use of the word "theory." But to the
Sulphite, this simple, convincing, comprehensive explanation is more;
it is an opinion, even a belief, if not a credo. It is the
crux by which society is tested. But as I shall proceed
scientifically, my conclusion will, I trust, effect rational proof of
what was an a priori hypothesis.
