Defoe treats every foreign question from the cool high-political point of view, generally taking up a position from which he can expose the unreasonableness of both sides.
"Daniel Defoe"
William Minto
The sermon was nothing to me; I scarcely heard it, but understood that it was about the Incarnation and the perfection of the plan of salvation and the unreasonableness of the Higher Criticism and of all who doubt because they do not understand.
"Afoot in England"
W.H. Hudson
And off went Sally, leaving her mother to reason with herself about her own unreasonableness.
"Somehow Good"
William de Morgan
