# The Social Revolution/Author's Preface

AUTHOR'S PREFACE
The following writings owe their existence to the action of a Socialist Heading Circle in Amsterdam, a society largely composed of Academics, who invited me to speak there and in Delft. Among the themes that I suggested was that of Social Revolution. But as the comrades in both cities selected the same theme, and I did not wish to repeat myself, I divided my subject into two essays practically independent from one another, but connected in their general thought, and called it "Reform and Revolution" and "On the Day After the Revolution."
The Society wished to publish these essays and naturally I had no reason to object to this, but in the interest of their circulation I proposed that they be issued by the German Party Publishing House, to which the Holland comrades very gladly agreed.
It is not a stenographic report of the lectures that is here given. I have included many lines of thought, in the writing which would have been too long to have given in the lectures. But in general I have kept within the limits of the lecture and have not sought to make a book of it.
The purpose of the work shows for itself and needs no explanation. It had a special application for Holland in that shortly before ​my lectures, which took place on the 22d and 24th of April, 1902, the former minister Pierson had made an assertion in a public assemblage, and argued for it, that a proletarian revolution must, for certain necessary reasons, be avoided. My lectures form a direct answer to this. The Minister was, however, so friendly as to attend the second one, where he made industrious notes and did not offer a word against me.
Because of the predominating academic character of the public that attended, aside from local and propagandist reasons, I was led to choose the theme of Social Revolution for the lecture. The Academics are those among us who are least friendly to the idea of revolution, at least in Germany. All things considered, however, the case appeared somewhat different in Holland and the applause of my audience there very pleasantly surprised me. My assertions raised scarcely any antagonism, but only approval. I hope that this is not entirely because of international politeness. If not, Marxism has a body of strong representatives among the Academics of Holland.
I can wish nothing better than that my attempt should receive the same approval among German comrades that it has found among those of Holland, and I extend my thanks to the latter for the friendly reception they have given me in a very agreeable duty.

§ 11
"Those," said the Vicar, "were ladies."
"How grotesque," said the Angel, smiling and smelling the sweet-brier. "And such quaint shapes!"
"Possibly," said the Vicar. "Did you, ahem, notice how they behaved?"
"They went away. Seemed, indeed, to run away. Frightened? I, of course, was frightened at things ​without wings. I hope—they were not frightened at my wings?"
"At your appearance generally," said the Vicar, glancing involuntarily at the pink feet.
"Dear me! It never occurred to me. I suppose I seemed as odd to them as you did to me." He glanced down. "And my feet. You have hoofs like a hippogriff."
"Boots," corrected the Vicar.
"Boots, you call them! But, anyhow, I am sorry I alarmed———"
"You see," said the Vicar, stroking his chin, "our ladies, ahem, have peculiar views—rather inartistic views—about, ahem, clothing. Dressed as you are, I am afraid, I am really afraid that—beautiful as your costume certainly is—you will find yourself somewhat, ahem, somewhat isolated in society. We have a little proverb: 'When in Rome, ahem, one must do as the Romans do.' I can assure you that, assuming you are desirous to, ahem, associate with us—during your involuntary stay———"
The Angel retreated a step or so as the Vicar came nearer and nearer in his attempt to be diplomatic and confidential. The beautiful face grew perplexed. "I don't quite understand. Why do you keep making those noises in your throat? Is it Die or Eat, or any of those…"
"As your host," interrupted the Vicar, and stopped.
"As my host," said the Angel.
"Would you object, pending more permanent arrangements, to invest yourself, ahem, in a suit, an entirely new suit I may say, like this I have on?"
​"Oh!" said the Angel. He retreated so as to take in the Vicar from top to toe. "Wear clothes like yours!" he said. He was puzzled but amused. His eyes grew round and bright, his mouth puckered at the corners.
"Delightful!" he said, clapping his hands together. "What a mad, quaint dream this is! Where are they?" He caught at the neck of the saffron robe.
"Indoors!" said the Vicar. "This way. We will change—indoors!"

THE WONDERFUL VISIT
§ 1
On the Night of the Strange Bird, many people at Sidderton (and some nearer) saw a glare on the Sidderford Moor. But no one in Sidderford saw it, for most of Sidderford was abed.
All day the wind had been rising, so that the larks on the moor chirruped fitfully near the ground or rose only to be driven like leaves before the wind. The sun set in a bloody welter of clouds, and the moon was hidden. The glare, they say, was golden like a beam shining out of the sky, not a uniform blaze but broken all over by curving flashes like the waving of swords. It lasted but a moment and left the night dark and obscure. There were letters about it in Nature, and a rough drawing that no one thought very like. (You may see it for yourself—the drawing that was unlike the glare—on page 42 of Vol. cclx, of that publication.)
None in Sidderford saw the light, but Annie, Hooker Durgan's wife, was lying awake, and she saw the reflection of it—a flickering tongue of gold—dancing on the wall.
She, too, was one of those who heard the sound. The others who heard the sound were Lumpy Durgan, the half-wit, and Amory's mother. They said it was a sound like children singing and a throbbing of harp-​strings, carried on a rush of notes like that which sometimes comes from an organ. It began and ended like the opening and shutting of a door, and before and after they heard nothing but the night wind howling over the moor and the noise of the caves under Sidderford cliff. Amory's mother said she wanted to cry when she heard it, but Lumpy was only sorry he could hear no more.
That is as much as any one can tell you of the glare upon Sidderford Moor and the alleged music there-with. And whether these had any real connection with the Strange Bird whose history follows, is more than I can say. But I set it down here for reasons that will be more apparent as the story proceeds.

# The Works of Francis Bacon/Volume 1/Notes for Conversation

SHORT NOTES FOR CIVIL CONVERSATION.
BY SIR FRANCIS BACON.
To deceive men's expectations generally (which cautel) argueth a staid mind, and unexpected constancy: viz. in matters of fear, anger, sudden joy or grief, and all things which may affect or alter the mind in public or sudden accidents, or suchlike.
It is necessary to use a steadfast countenance, not wavering with action, as in moving the head or hand too much, which showeth a fantastical, light, and fickle operation of the spirit, and consequently like mind as gesture: only it is sufficient, with leisure, to use a modest action in either.
In all kinds of speech, either pleasant, grave, severe, or ordinary, it is convenient to speak leisurely, and rather drawingly, than hastily; because hasty speech confounds the memory, and oftentimes, besides unseemliness, drives a man either to a non-plus or unseemly stammering, harping upon that which should follow; whereas a slow speech confirmeth the memory, addeth a conceit of wisdom to the hearers, besides a seemliness of speech and countenance. To desire in discourse to hold all arguments, is ridiculous, wanting true judgment; for in all things no man can be exquisite.
To have commonplaces to discourse, and to want variety, is both tedious to the hearers, and shows a shallowness of conceit: therefore it is good to vary, and suit speeches with the present occasions; and to have a moderation in all our speeches, especially in jesting of religion, state, great persons, weighty and important business, poverty, or any thing deserving pity.
A long continued speech, without a good speech of interlocution, showeth slowness: and a good reply, without a good set speech, showeth shallowness and weakness.
To use many circumstances, ere you come to the matter, is wearisome; and to use none at all, is but blunt.
Bashfulness is a great hinderance to a man, both of uttering his conceit, and understanding what is propounded unto him ; wherefore it is good to press himself forwards with discretion, both in speech, and company of the better sort.
"Usus promptos facit."

# The Works of H. G. Wells (Atlantic Edition)/Preface to Volume 3

PREFACE TO VOLUME III
This volume contains two books, "The Invisible Man" and "The War of the Worlds." "The Invisible Man" was first published in 1897, and "The War of the Worlds" in 1898. There is very little to be said about either work. They tell their own stories.
"The War of the Worlds" was suggested to the writer by his elder brother, Frank, to whom the first edition was dedicated. Mr. Frank Wells is a practical philosopher with a disbelief even profounder than that of the writer in the present ability of our race to meet a great crisis either bravely or intelligently. The Great War, the Mean Peace, the Russian Famine, and the present state of the world's affairs have but confirmed that early persuasion. Our present civilisation, it seems, is quite capable of falling to pieces without any aid from the Martians.
Once or twice in reading this book, written a quarter of a century ago, the reader will be reminded of phases and incidents in the Great War: the use of poison-gas, for instance, or the flight before the Martians. These were intelligent anticipations; the story has not been touched up at all. The scene is laid mainly in Surrey in the country round about Woking, where the writer was living when the book was written. He would take his bicycle of an afternoon and note the houses and cottages and typical inhabitants ​and passers-by, to be destroyed after tea by Heat-Ray or smothered in the red weed. He could sit by the way-side imagining his incidents so vividly that now when he passes through that country these events recur to him as though they were actual memories.
In addition this volume contains "A Dream of Armageddon," which was obviously a by-product of the manufacture of "The Sleeper Awakes," in Volume II.

# The Works of H. G. Wells (Atlantic Edition)/Preface to Volume 5

PREFACE TO VOLUME V
In this volume "The Food of the Gods" takes the first place. It is quite out of its chronological order—it was not written until 1904—but it is put here because it is in direct continuity with the line of thought developed in the preceding volume. "The Food of the Gods" is the idea of the first chapter of "Anticipations" and of the essay upon "Locomotion and Administrative Areas," transmuted into fantasy. It is a dream version of the "de-localised" persons and things. It puzzled, and therefore irritated, most of the reviewers extremely.
The forcible juxtaposition of these hard ideas and this grotesque story has been made with an eye to criticism, which, because of the multiplicity and carelessness of the writer's output, has so far missed the plain development of his thought. Here you have the completest statement of the conception that human beings are now in violent reaction to a profound change in conditions demanding the most complex and extensive readjustments in the scope and scale of their ideas. This conception is the key to nearly all the writer's work, to his novels quite as much as to his fantastic stories and sociological and political essays. Temperamentally he is egotistic and romantic, intellectually he is clearly aware that the egotistic and romantic must go. And seeing that this collected edition attempts for the first time to give a view of ​his work as a whole and of his ideas as a system, he has seized the opportunity to put into the same cover with "The Food of the Gods," and in the sharpest contrast with it, "The Sea Lady," which was written in 1901-2. In all his later novels, the reader will find more or less of the "Food of the Gods" getting itself mixed into the dietary of his intelligent characters, and the scaly, beautiful, irrelevant "Sea Lady" out of the primordial seas flapping her tail to their confusion. She flapped her way into the writer's imagination upon Sandgate beach one day in 1900, just upon that part of it which is shown in the frontispiece.

# The Works of H. G. Wells (Atlantic Edition)/Preface to Volume 6

PREFACE TO VOLUME VI
"The First Men in the Moon" was first published as a serial in 1900, in America in Mr. John Brisben Walker's Cosmopolitan Magazine, and in England in the Strand Magazine. It is an imaginative spree. Except for Cavorite, that substance opaque to gravitation, the writer has allowed himself no liberties with known facts; there is no impossibility in the tale. There are no doubt details of a high degree of improbability but nothing that a properly informed science student can contradict flatly. The book had the honour of a review in Nature by Professor Turner, who discussed its ingenuities very sympathetically. It is probably the writer's best "scientific romance."
Bound up with this are some early stories that come conveniently here as a sort of transition to the two early novels in the next volume. The Euphemia Papers are very early writings indeed. For the most part they were written as contributions to the Pall Mall Gazette in 1893-4. They are the stuff of which novels are made. "A Slip under the Microscope" was done for the Yellow Book about the year 1895, and is obviously related genetically to "Love and Mr. Lewisham." "Miss Winchelsea's Heart" came into my head to tell my friend George Gissing on the Pincio one spring morning in 1898.
