Part III
The Mermaids' Lagoon
SHE WAS COMBING HER LONG TRESSES
THE MERMAIDS' LAGOON
SHE SLIPPED OUT OF HIS GRASP
​like an eel, she slipped out of his grasp. Breathless with excitement, the whole band of children clambered on to the rocks, when all at once a cry went up: "The Pirates!" Sure enough a boat was approaching, and in it were seated the two pirate lieutenants, Smee and Starkey. The boys were already swimming to the shore as fast as they could, when to his horror Peter recognised Tiger Lily sitting in the stern, tightly bound with ropes. In a flash he guessed what was their intention. The wretches meant to leave her, all bound as she was, upon the rock, until the tide came up and drowned her.
Determined to save her, Peter thought of a clever trick. Imitating the wicked Captain's voice he called out: "Cut her bonds and let her go!" The effect was marvellous: the astonished buccaneers, fearing to disobey their Captain, instantly released Tiger Lily, who leapt into the water and swam towards the boys.
​The Pirates had turned and were rowing back, when they saw Hook swimming towards them, and learnt from him how they had been duped. Horribly enraged, he chased them out of the boat, leaving them to swim back to the ship as best they might, while he himself set about recapturing Tiger Lily.
But the Pirates once safely out of the way, Peter and his friends went back to the rock to attack the Captain, who was now single-handed. A fierce fight ensued, Hook using his iron prong to some purpose on poor Peter, while the boys, seizing Hook's boat, rowed off with Tiger Lily in it. At last, finding himself outdone, the Captain gave up the fight, and in all haste swam back to his ship.
A FIERCE FIGHT ENSUED
Then indeed, as the tide rose steadily, Peter was in great peril. The water reached his feet, and he was beginning to think it would be a "tremendous adventure to die," when who should come sailing by but a great sea-bird on its nest, which had been blown off the cliffs by the rising storm. "Hurrah!" cried Peter, "there's a lovely boat for me!" and chasing the ​bird off, in he stepped, curled himself round and, spreading out his coat to the wind, sailed swiftly and merrily after Wendy.
SPREADING HIS COAT TO THE WIND, HE SAILED MERRILY.

Illustrations by: Alice Bolingbroke Woodward
PREFACE
SIR J. M. BARRIE'S delightful creation, "Peter Pan," has by this time taken a secure place in the hearts of children of all ages, and there are few nurseries in the land in which Peter, Wendy, Tinker Bell, Captain Hook and his Pirates, the Mermaids and Redskins, and the exciting world in which they lived, are not as familiar as the most time-honoured lore of fairyland.
The popularity of Mr. Daniel O'Connor's version of the story, issued with Sir J. M. Barrie's kind consent, and illustrated so charmingly by Miss Alice B. Woodward, has induced the publishers to ​bring out the present re-issue at a lower price.
The selections of music which will be found in it are included with the permission of Mr. John Crook, the composer, and Messrs. Price and Reynolds.

Part VI
Home, Sweet Home
HOME, SWEET HOME
But it happened one evening, when he returned from business, carried as usual in the kennel, he was taken up to the now desolate nursery, where Mrs. Darling spent most of her time mourning for her lost children, while the faithful Nana tried in vain to cheer her up. "George, George, I believe you are beginning to like that kennel," she said reproachfully, as he crawled out. He denied the charge, however, and tried to comfort Mrs. Darling, who never for one moment forgot the little empty beds and the silence and cheerlessness of the nursery. Then he left her, and sitting down by the fire, Mrs. Darling was alone with her sad thoughts.
HE WOULD LIVE IN THE KENNEL UNTIL HIS CHILDREN'S RETURN
​Scarcely, however, had she closed her eyes when three little figures flew in at the window and nestled cosily in their beds. Then softly Wendy called to her mother. But when Mrs. Darling looked round she simply couldn't believe that the children were really there. So many times before she had dreamt of their return, that it was not till they all three crowded round her that she realised that they had indeed come home. Oh! what joy to feel once more those dear faces, cool and fresh from the flight through the night air, pressed against hers, hot with tears; to hear once more the sound of those sweet voices as they all talked at once. At last, when she was a little calm, Wendy began telling her about Peter Pan and the Lost Boys, who with Peter Pan himself were all waiting outside. Directly Mrs. Darling saw them, and heard that they had no mothers, she instantly adopted them all. Though the house would be rather crowded, she ​could easily put up extra beds in the drawing-room, she said, and with a screen on her "At Home" days, all could be comfortably managed.
The only difficulty lay with Peter. Much as at first sight he loved Mrs. Darling, much as he loved Wendy, he couldn't consent to grow up. So at last it was arranged that he should fly back alone to the Never-Never-Never Land, and that once a year Mrs. Darling would allow Wendy to go and stay with him for a whole week to do his spring cleaning.
THE TREE TOPS
High in the tree tops of the Never-Never-Never Land, Tinker Bell placed the little house that was built for Wendy. The tree tops are soft as velvet, and in the evening at twilight are all bejewelled with ​tiny mauve, and white, and blue lights. The mauve ones are boy fairies, the white, girl fairies, and the blue lights are darling little sillies who are not quite sure what they are.
And the still air is filled with the singing of birds and the ringing of hundreds of little fairy bells. But the sweetest sound of all is the fluting of Peter Pan's pipe as he sits outside the little house and calls to the spring to make haste, because with the spring comes Wendy.

THE STORY of PHILOSOPHY
THE LIVES AND OPINIONS OF THE GREATER PHILOSOPHERS

TO MY WIFE
TO THE READER
This book is not a complete history of philosophy. It is an attempt to humanize knowledge by centering the story of speculative thought around certain dominant personalities. Certain lesser figures have been omitted in order that those selected might have the space required to make them live. Hence the inadequate treatment of the half-legendary pre-Socratics, the Stoics and Epicureans, the Scholastics, and the epistemologists. The author believes that epistemology has kidnapped modern philosophy, and well nigh ruined it; he hopes for the time when the study of the knowledge-process will be recognized as the business of the science of psychology, and when philosophy will again be understood as the synthetic interpretation of all experience rather than the analytic description of the mode and process of experience itself. Analysis belongs to science, and gives us knowledge; philosophy must provide a synthesis for wisdom.
The author would like to record here a debt which he can never repay, to Alden Freeman, who gave him education, travel, and the inspiration of a noble and enlightened life. May this best of friends find in these pages—incidental and imperfect though they are—something not quite unworthy of his generosity and his faith.

Layout 2The Rev. Edmund Venables, precenter and canon residentiary of Lincoln, died early yesterday morning. Only a fortnight ago he was apparently in excellent health, and on February 17 he lectured to Toynbee-hall on "Lincoln Cathedral." On the morning of the 22nd he was taken suddenly ill, showing all the signs of influenza. Other complications supervened, and during Monday night he gradually sand and passed painlessly away. The deceased who was in his 76th year, graduated from Pembroke College, Cambridge, in 1842, as a Wrangler and a second-class-man in classics. On the death of Archdeacon Giles in 1867 he became examining chaplain to Bishop Jackson and also succeeded to a canonry of the Cathedral. He was recognized as a well-read theologian, a good preacher, and an accomplished archæologist. He wrote extensively on architectural and archæological subjects, and some lectures which he delivered on "Lincoln Cathderal" and "Walks through the Streets of Lincoln" have had a wide sale, being regarded as authoritative utterances on the history and architecture of the Minster and on the antiquities of the city. One sad feature in connexion with the death is the fact that Mrs. Venables is, according to the latest medical bulletin, gradually sinking, and Miss Maud Venables is extremely ill.

A correspondent writes as follows:—"Many friends will hear with regret of the death of Mr. George Paul Macdonell, of Lincoln's Inn and 40, Lansdowne-crescent. His illness was short, his end sudden. He had gone with his wife and child to Haslemere to visit friends at Whitsuntide. He caught a chill after playing cricket; pneumonia set in; and he passed quietly away in his sleep on the evening of Sunday. After studying at Aberdeen University, where he took the gold medal for general scholarship, he joined the Bar. An unaffected modesty of nature, a dislike of every form of self-seeking, prevented rapid success. With subtilty of mind, which found delight in metaphysical and ethical, rather than legal, problems, he seemed to some far less eager than most barristers for professional success, and, interested in literature and philosophy, to let the stream flow by. But, almost in spite of himself, practice, and that of the best kind, came; and more than one law officer found in him, in the preparation of opinions, a valuable assistant. Chiefly in magazine and newspaper articles, for the most part unsigned, and in such contributions as his essay in Mr. Bryce's book "Two Centuries of Irish History," is any record of a singularly acute and incisive intellect. Over the proofs of friends' books he would labour with even more zeal than over his own, supplying them with authorities which they had not thought; and it is characteristic that a clever little volume which he wrote several years ago passed through some 15 editions and was reprinted in America, without his ever putting his name to it. A volume on the "Functions of Government" was about to be published when he died. A long-planned treatise on the law of mortgages did not see the light, chiefly because his high standard of workmanship was not satisfied. His friends will not soon forget that beautiful nature, which in every relation of life freely gave, never exacted, never murmured; full of generous interest; content to be itself and to look out in a spirit of gentle irony upon the result." The funeral of Mr. George Macdonell will take place on Thursday, at 3 45 p.m., at Woking Crematorium.

Layout 2A wide circle of scientific and literary friends will regret to learn that Mrs. Andrew Crosse died from syncope, resulting from influenza, on Saturday afternoon last, at the age of 68. She was the widow of Andrew Crosse, the celebrated electrician, who would, were he alive now be in 111th year. In July, 1850, Mr. Crosse, already an elderly man, married Miss Cornelia A. H. Berkeley, then a great beauty, and in her 23rd year. Five years later Mr. Crosse died, leaving a widow, with three little children. Mrs. Cross left Fyne Court, on the Quantock Hills, where her husband had been squire, and where his experiments had made him the legend of the neighbourhood, and resided at Comeytrowe-house, near Taunton. Encourage by Sir Roderick Murchison, she published, in 1857, the "Memorials of Andrew Crosse," a charming volume, full of graceful and vivacious reminiscences. The success of this biography did not tempt her, however, to very serious literary work until lately. She moved in all the best scientific society, wrote occasionally, and devoted herself to the education of her sons. For the last 30 years she had received a multitude of friends at her house in Delamere-terrace. Of late she has been persuaded by Mr. Bentley to contribute to Temple Bar articles on the distinguished friends with whom she had in earlier days been intimate—Faraday, Babbage, Walter Savage Landor, Robert and Elizabeth Browning, Kenyon and Kinglake, and others. These were collected into two volumes, in 1892, under the title of "Red-letter Days of my Life," and achieved a great success. Up to within a few weeks of her death, Mrs. Crosse was engaged on a second series of scientific reminiscences, which, it is hoped, were far enough carried to be bear publication. She was a women of remarkable social charm and sympathetic intelligence, knew a good story when she met with one, and could repeat it, either in conversation or in writing, with excellent effect.

Layout 2 In the Rev. Cyprian Thomas Rust, who died at Soham on the 8th inst., there passed away an erudite scholar, and linguist. Born early in the century, he was placed while a youth with a firm of merchants. All his leisure, however, was occupied with linguistic studies, and he arranged in parallel columns, for comparative purposes, translations of the Scriptures in Hebrew, Greek, Latin and Syriac. He entered the Particular Baptist ministry in 1837, and about this time married the only daughter of the late Mr. Samuel Warren, Q.C., the author of "Ten Thousand a Year." After being ten or 11 years in the ministry, Mr. Rust resigned his charge and entered at Cambridge University, where he graduated in due course, and subsequently took orders in the Established Church. He laboured in Norwich for 20 years, and in 1875 was appointed to the rectory of Westerfield, near Ipswich, which he held until 1890. Quite recently he published a pamphlet setting forth the scope and negative character of "the Higher Criticism," which drew from Mr. Gladstone, a warm acknowledgment of its value.

Mr. W. J. Fitzpatrick
Mr. William John Fitzpatrick, J.P., LL.D., a well-known writer, who was the author of a number of biographical and historical works, died yesterday morning at his residence in Fitzwilliam-square, Dublin.
Mr. Fitzpatrick was an industrious and prolific writer, and a memoir of the late Father Healy, P.P., of Bray, which is published this week, is from his pen. He was a careful and minute compiler of anecdotes and circumstances which illustrated the character and inner life to the persons whom he selected as the subjects of his literary labours. He was chiefly known as the author of The Sham Squire and the Informers of 1798, of which 16,000 copies were sold. The "sham squire" was a spy in the service of the Government at the time of the rebellion of 1798. His Life, Times, and Companions of Bishop Doyle, in two volumes has been lately been republished. He also wrote The Life, Times, and Contemporaries of Lord Cloncurry; The Friends, Foes, and Adventures of Lady Morgan; anecdotal Memoirs of Archbishop Whately, in two volumes; Lord Edward Fitzgerald and His Betrayers: or, Notes on the Cornwallis Papers; Ireland before the Union, with the Unpublished Diary of Lord Chief Justice Clonmel, 1774-1798, which has gone into six editions; Irish Wits and Worthies, with Dr. Lanigan: his Life and Times; Charles Lever: a Biography; and Life of Father Tom Burke. In 1888 he published The Correspondence of Daniel O'Connell, with His Life and Times. Mr. Gladstone wrote an article in the Nineteenth Century on this book, and alluded to it in public speeches. Leo XIII. When he was Papal Nuncio, had known Daniel O'Connell, and to mark his satisfaction with Mr. Fitzpatrick's book he conferred on him in 1889 the Grand Cross of the Order of St. Gregory the Great. In 1892 Mr. Fitzpatrick issued Secret Service under Pitt, which was welcomed by Home Rulers on account of the revelations which it contained as to the methods by which the Act of Union passed.
Mr. Fitzpatrick was the son of Mr. John Fitzpatrick, of Thomas-street, Dublin and Griffinwrath, co. Kildare. He was born on August 31, 1830, was educated first at a Protestant school and afterwards at the Roman Catholic College of Clongowes Wood. He was a magistrate and grand juror for the counties of Dublin and Longford, a member of the Royal Irish Academy, an honorary member of the Royal Hibernian Academy of Arts, and one of the executive of the Royal Dublin Society. In 1876 he was appointed by the Viceroy for the second time High Sheriff of the county of Longford.

Layout 2The Athenæum records the death of Mr. John Ormsby at Ramsgate on October 30. Born at Gortner Abbey, Mayo, in 1829, Mr. Ormsby was educated at Trinity College, Dublin, and won a silver medal for chemistry at the University of London. A member of the Middle Temple, Mr. Ormsby was never called to the Bar, for his literary tastes were developed early, and articles from his pen appeared in the Saturday Review, in Fraser's Magazine, in the Quarterly Review, the Cornhill, and Pall Mall Gazette. In 1862 Mr. Ormsby—then a prominent member of the Alpine Club—contributed to the second series of "Peaks, Passes, and Glaciers" an account of his ascent of the Pic de Grivola, in the Graian Alps. Two years later appeared his "Autumn Rambles in North Africa," a sketch of two years of wanderings between Constantine and Carthage; and in 1876 he collected his "Stray Papers" in a volume. But he will be remembered best by the work which he did in the domain of Spanish literature. His acquaintaince with Spain and its political and literary history was both deep and wide. Published in 1879, his translation of the "Poema del Cid" is, except Frere's fragmentary renderings, the only version in English. His rendering of "Don Quixote" in 1885 is valuable both for its accurate scholarship and its bibliographical appendices.
