# Six Major Prophets/Preface

PREFACE
A few years ago it occurred to me that there were living on the same planet and at the same time as myself some interesting people whom I had never seen and did not know so much about as I should. Since they or I might die at any moment, I determined not to delay longer. So I prepared a list of twelve men who seemed to me most worth knowing, and then I set out to see them; not with the hope of becoming personally acquainted with them or even with the object of interviewing them, but chiefly to satisfy myself that they really existed. One does not go to Switzerland to find out how high the Alps are or how they look. The traveler can get their altitude from Baedeker and their appearance from photographs, but if he is to talk about them with any sense of self-confidence he must have come within hailing distance of the mountains themselves. It is sufficient ​to say that I got close enough to the Alps I had chosen to be able to vouch for their actuality.
The men I selected for study were those who, whether they called themselves philosophers or not, seemed to me to have a definite philosophy of life, those who had a message for their own times of sufficient importance and distinctiveness to merit public attention. It is my purpose in these sketches to show the trend and importance of these diverse theories, so that a reader who had not had the opportunity to range over the complete works of a dozen authors might find which of them was best adapted to serve him as "guide, philosopher, and friend." In a word, my part is merely to act as the host at a reception who introduces his guests and then leaves them to follow up such acquaintanceships as seem profitable. My aim is exposition rather than criticism. Although I have not thought it necessary absolutely to suppress my own opinions, I trust this has not prevented me from giving a fair and sufficiently sympathetic presentation of each man's views in turn.
My list of the "Twelve Major Prophets of To-day" consisted of the following names: Maurice Maeterlinck, Henri Bergson, Henri Poincaré, Elie Metchnikoff, Wilhelm Ostwald, Ernst Haeckel, ​George Bernard Shaw, Herbert George Wells, Gilbert Keith Chesterton, F. C. S. Schiller, John Dewey, and Rudolf Eucken. I had not taken nationality into consideration, but I found that I had chosen four from England, three from Germany, two from France, and one each from Belgium, Russia, and the United States of America. Four of the twelve were professors of philosophy; four were men of science, one of these a mathematician, one a physician, one a zoologist, one a chemist; and four were men of letters, authors of novels, dramas, or essays. The twelve sketches appeared in The Independent during the last few years, but they have been considerably extended for book publication. The first six named above were published in the volume "Major Prophets of To-day." The other six are given in the following pages.

# Southern Historical Society Papers/Volume 34/Longest Confederate March in the Shortest Time

GIVES FULL RECORD.
Longest March in Shortest Time Suffolk to Gettysburg.
Editor Times-Dispatch:
Sir,—I will say that I was a member of Company E, Eighteenth Virginia Regiment, .Hunton's Brigade, Pickett's Division. I knew Comrade S. W. Paulett very well. I have made many long and weary marches with him. I don't think any troops made a longer march to reach Gettysburg than we did—namely, from Suffolk, Va., to Gettysburg battlefield, and I would like to say that the Thirty-second Virginia Regiment was at one time attached to Hunton's Brigade, and that was in the fall and winter of 1863-64. Hunton's Brigade, with the rest of the division, came from Orange county to the vicinity of Richmond about the first of October, 1863. Hunton's Brigade went to Chaffin's farm, eight miles below Richmond, and went in quarters vacated by Wise's men. In about two weeks the Eighteenth Virginia Regiment was sent to Petersburg to do provost duty in the town; at the same time we relieved the Thirty-second Virginia Regiment, who had been doing similar duty up to that time. So the Thirty- second Regiment went to Chaffin's farm and were attached to Huntcn's Brigade, and remained with them until the last of May or first of June, 1864. when at Hanover Junction, when we rejoined our brigade and the Thirty-second went back to Corse's Brigade. In the meantime the Eighteenth Virginia Regiment was with Corse's Brigade and left ​Petersburg with them about the last of January, 1864, and went to the vicinity of Newbern, N. C., and had quite an exciting time, capturing a good many prisoners and some fine guns and horses. We captured one complete camp of a New York regiment about five miles out from Newbern. While in North Carolina we were at Goldsboro, where in February we re-enlisted for the remainder of the war. We were at Rocky Mount and Tarboro in May. We returned to Virginia in time for the battle of Drewry's Bluff, May 16, 1864, after which we went to Richmond, and, lying on the green grass inside the Capitol Square, heard a speech from Congressman McMillan from Tennessee, and drew some chewing tobacco, after which we took the train for Guinea Station, in Spotsylvania, just in time to make the march with Lee's army for the North Anna. Here we held Grant's vast army in check for some days, when we made the move to Cold Harbor, and there I made my last fight, being desperately wounded, and my career as an active Confederate soldier came to an end.

Copyright, 1912, by FRANK A. CONNOR
CONTENTS. :
PREFACE.
New York City, Sept. 1st, 1911.
My Dear Frank:—
You, who know me best, accept this little book. I dedicate it to you. Shakespeare calls me an "abstract and brief chronicle of the time." Marie Corelli says I am only a "Monkey." Dead or alive, "Some one has blundered" in Stratford.
Many estimable persons in the calling I use to get my living, and a few profound critics of matters relative to that calling, declare their admiration of me for "My kindness to my relations," but deplore my inability to sustain my title to any professional aptitude whatever, whilst other equally estimable persons and critics in and out of my calling, declare I am "Great."
So I am in a quandary how to nominate myself. Accept me then as my Mother brought me into the World—and as the World knows me—plain Kyrle Bellew—and your Friend.
I have been many things, amongst others, a Sailor, an Australian Station-hand, a Gold miner, a Cattle drover, a Grave digger, an Explorer, a Book-keeper, a Journalist, a Dramatic Critic (God forgive me) an Author of many fugitive contributions to various and varied periodicals; have perpetrated a few successful plays, and a few others. Have wandered the World over; done all the unwise things men do; repented of many of them; shall live I hope to repent of many more. Have not any claim to the veracity of George Washington or the equally unconventional attributes of St. Anthony. Good, bad, and indifferent labels have been ticketed throughout the world upon the back of my character and I stand as a kind of ​Signpost to many whom I know, and heaps whom I don't, warning them from those paths of dalliance which I have trod, sometimes choked with thorns, have so often been strewn with roses; and from which I could always at least admire another, which they told me I should have trod. A path along which my eyes were never blinded to any wayfarer and along which it has been a joy to see you so steadfastly trudge.
Friend: This chamber is pleasant where we have often sat, surrounded by trophies that mark the milestones of my life. Neither you, nor I, can look round its walls, or into its cabinets, or on its book-shelves without recalling incidents that are dear, some sacred to us. Among those oft told, a few have served to interest our intimates by the telling; and in thought of the joy of your companionship as the tales were told, I have jotted down a few of them here, that perhaps some day, somewhere, when I am gone, they may remind you of the laborer who has rejoiced and suffered, lost and won, by your side, and whose greatest happiness in life, is to be sufficiently worthy in your eyes to exchange with you in all trueness and sincerity that holiest, most sacred name on Earth: The name of "Friend."
KYRLE BELLEW.

# Stageland

From Cassell’s Magazine, volume 31.
I know a land where it is afternoon Sometimes, but mostly evening; where the sun Shines not at all, but where a pasteboard moon With incandescent eye winks feebly on Monarch & bandit, dashing gay dragoon, Maid in distress, gay Frenchman, stately Don, Rage, humour, greed, tears sandwiched into laughter Estrangement first & reconcilement after.
There have I met the Melancholy Dane, Striving to fight unconquerable ill, There have I seen the noble Moor in vain Combat, the wild tormenting thirst to kill What he loved best; and there amid a train Of sprites & fairies, seen a sight that still In a more real world is seen alas! A fairy queen enamoured of an Ass.
There enter we on scenes of revelry By potent aid of that magician’s wand The blythe conductors baton waved Tempering the wind of instrumental band on high, To the stage lambs, whose shepherds cheerily Threading the dance, with damsels hand in hand Sooth the distracted heroine’s anxiety With jödelling choruses of Lurlurliety.
There we may see the villain pause to think On happier times, ere he had fallen so low, And watch his arm arrested on the brink Of dealing out the deadly coward’s blow Full in the hero’s midriff ere he drink The fiery beaker of best (stage) Bordeaux, By hearing—Mercy! Can it be? Just Heaven, It is!—the village clock striking eleven.
There modern characters with old may jostle, Pygmalion may adore his Galatea; There flaunt in view the works of the apostle Of modern culture, clothing the idea That marriage obligation is a fossil: A comedy ensues in which you see a Pair of Our Boys with whom things go so cross it Comes to an attic & “inferior Dossit.”
And ever, at this period of the year, Strange characters emerge from out the past. Giants & Gnomes, Pixies & Elves appear And over Innocence their spells they case In vain!— We know their punishment draws near And the bright Fairy with her wand at last Will deal out retribution (props erratic), Whose penalties are mostly acrobatic.
The villain shall become a clown— let’s pray Hard knocks he may encounter in the rally; The meaner rogue a pantaloon— they say That being thumped his duty principally Consists of likewise in the mimic fray Playing the part assigned to old “Aunt Sally,” While as a stimulant, that seasoned joker, The clown, revives him with a red-hot poker.
Go to that land & laugh, ye merry crows, Wafted away to Fancy’s bright domain, Where humbling certainly awaits the proud Defeat the wicked; where the villain slain Exalts the virtuous poor with wealth endowed And life’s dark problems seem to work out plain. You boys! to play the clown, remember may be Safe, but don’t try his tricks upon the baby.
C. V. Godby.

77 U.S. 589
Stagg v. Insurance Company
The right of the insurance company to terminate the agency of the plaintiff, at its discretion, is not denied by his counsel, nor is there any serious effort to support the offer to prove the custom. Indeed, if the court was right in holding that the contract between the parties was expressed by the language of the second circular, it is quite clear there was no room for usage, for it is there expressly stated that the commission on the renewal premiums, like those on the original premiums, was to be paid only so long as the plaintiff continued to be the agent of the company.
Nor can we doubt for a moment that the later circular must be held to represent the agreement of the parties as to compensation. After having received that circular and acted on it for fifteen years, received and adjusted his compensation by it, he is estopped to deny that it was the contract under which he acted. If there was any other contract it was for him to show it. He does not do this by producing the circular of the year previous. If there was anything fraudulent, unfair, or illegal in the new terms offered, or in the mode in which he was induced to accept them, he should have shown it, but he has not even attempted it.
We are, therefore, clearly of opinion that when it is shown that, as agent of the company, he received and acted upon that circular, he is bound by its terms as the measure of his compensation.
JUDGMENT AFFIRMED.

THIS case was dismissed for want of jurisdiction, at December term, 1850, 10 How. 82.
At the present term, Mr. Crittenden, of counsel for the defendant in error, moved the court to amend the judgment entered in this cause at the December term, 1950, and to give a judgment for the costs in this court in favor of his client. Whereupon it is now here considered by the court that this court cannot give a judgment for costs in a case dismissed for want of jurisdiction, and it appearing to this court that this cause has been dismissed for want of jurisdiction, it is thereupon now here ordered by the court that the said motion be and the same is hereby overruled.

# Strafford (Browning)
### Dedication

DEDICATED, IN ALL AFFECTIONATE ADMIRATION,
TO WILLIAM C. MACREADY, ESQ.
BY HIS MOST GRATEFUL AND DEVOTED FRIEND,
R. B.

### Preface

I had for some time been engaged in a Poem of a very different nature, when induced to make the present attempt; and am not without apprehension that my eagerness to freshen a jaded mind by diverting it to the healthy natures of a grand epoch, may have operated unfavourably on the represented play, which is one of Action in Character rather than Character in Action. To remedy this, in some degree, considerable curtailment will be necessary, and, in a few instances, the supplying details not required, I suppose, by the mere reader. While a trifling success would much gratify, failure will not wholly discourage me from another effort: experience is to come, and earnest endeavour may yet remove many disadvantages.
The portraits are, I think, faithful; and I am exceedingly fortunate in being able, in proof of this, to refer to the subtle and eloquent exposition of the characters of Eliot and Strafford, in the Lives of Eminent British Statesmen now in the course of publication in Lardner's Cyclopædia, by a writer whom I am proud to call my friend; and whose biographies of Hampden, Pym, and Vane, will, I am sure, fitly illustrate the present year—the Second Centenary of the Trial concerning Ship-Money. My Carlisle, however, is purely imaginary: I at first sketched her singular likeness roughly in, as suggested by Matthew and the memoir-writers—but it was too artificial, and the substituted outline is exclusively from Voiture and Waller.
The Italian boat-song in the last scene is from Redi's Bacco, long since naturalized in the joyous and delicate version of Leigh Hunt.
