# Eight Friends of the Great/7

LYDIA WHITE.
The literary salons of the London ladies attained their highest fame in the reign of the third George. A marked advance in the position of women was visible during the closing years of the eighteenth century. This was in the main due to the fact that parents had begun to think them capable of discharging other duties in life than those which were limited by household management, and that considerable improvements had consequently been made in their education. New ideas on their rights and their characters were in the air and Mary Wollstonecraft gave expression to them. Woman had shown that she could vie with man in the realms of fiction. She was beginning to excel in poetry and to gain applause in the description of travel or in the regions of critical essay.
The first and the best -known of these salons was that of Mrs. Montagu. A lady of great wealth and literary enthusiasm, her education had been guided by the knowledge and counsels of one of the chief classical scholars of England. She entertained the philosophers and fashionables of London for fifty years. Her home was at first in Hill Street, Mayfair, but afterwards she dwelt at Montagu House, the stately mansion at the north-west corner of Portman Square. Dr. Johnson was always a figure of suspicion at her gatherings and towards the close of his days the link which bound together her guests was undying hatred of the sage.
The parties of this great dame were rivalled by those of Mrs. Vesey, the wife of Johnson's Irish friend. She ​Page:Eight Friends of the Great - WP Courtney.djvu/170 ​Page:Eight Friends of the Great - WP Courtney.djvu/171 ​Page:Eight Friends of the Great - WP Courtney.djvu/172 ​Page:Eight Friends of the Great - WP Courtney.djvu/173 ​Page:Eight Friends of the Great - WP Courtney.djvu/174 ​Page:Eight Friends of the Great - WP Courtney.djvu/175 ​Page:Eight Friends of the Great - WP Courtney.djvu/176 ​Page:Eight Friends of the Great - WP Courtney.djvu/177 ​Page:Eight Friends of the Great - WP Courtney.djvu/178 ​Page:Eight Friends of the Great - WP Courtney.djvu/179 ​Page:Eight Friends of the Great - WP Courtney.djvu/180 ​Page:Eight Friends of the Great - WP Courtney.djvu/181 ​Page:Eight Friends of the Great - WP Courtney.djvu/182 ​Page:Eight Friends of the Great - WP Courtney.djvu/183 ​Page:Eight Friends of the Great - WP Courtney.djvu/184 ​Page:Eight Friends of the Great - WP Courtney.djvu/185 ​Page:Eight Friends of the Great - WP Courtney.djvu/186 ​Page:Eight Friends of the Great - WP Courtney.djvu/187 ​Page:Eight Friends of the Great - WP Courtney.djvu/188 ​Page:Eight Friends of the Great - WP Courtney.djvu/189 ​Page:Eight Friends of the Great - WP Courtney.djvu/190 ​(18 Oct. 1831) it was to point out a like career for his daughter. "If Sophia [Mrs. Lockhart] keeps to early hours she may beat London for small parties as poor Miss White did and without much expense. A little address is all that is necessary." Alas! This, like many other of Scott's ambitions in life, crumbled away.

LORD WEBB SEYMOUR
A swarm of young men of keen ambition and conspicuous talents settled in Edinburgh in the closing years of the eighteenth century. The long French war debarred them from visiting the countries of the continent, and the absence of any liberality of thought in the dons drove them from the colleges of the English universities. Parents whose views in politics were not opposed to progress in liberalism and who desired some expansion of sentiment for their sons, looked outside their native country of England for more congenial training for their offspring. This was found in the capital of the North and the favourite tutor for such youths was Dugald Stewart, a man of philosophic mind and eloquent expression of speech. Literature and science ruled the circles of life in Edinburgh at this time. Its citizens lived simple and frugal lives. The love of display had not eaten into their minds, and in intellectual activity they were certainly not inferior to the residents in the more populous city on the Thames.
Some of these young men, who were destined to high position in subsequent life, lived under Stewart's roof and came under the personal charm of his second wife, familiar to us now as " Ivy." The future lords Palmerston and Dudley were two of these favourites of fortune. Others were his pupils although not living in his house, and the list included the future marquess of Lansdowne, and the statesman best known as lord John Russell. Stewart had early in life been imbued with the doctrines of Adam Smith and his successive visits to France, in 1783, 1788 and ​Page:Eight Friends of the Great - WP Courtney.djvu/145 ​Page:Eight Friends of the Great - WP Courtney.djvu/146 ​Page:Eight Friends of the Great - WP Courtney.djvu/147 ​Page:Eight Friends of the Great - WP Courtney.djvu/148 ​Page:Eight Friends of the Great - WP Courtney.djvu/149 ​Page:Eight Friends of the Great - WP Courtney.djvu/150 ​Page:Eight Friends of the Great - WP Courtney.djvu/151 ​Page:Eight Friends of the Great - WP Courtney.djvu/152 ​Page:Eight Friends of the Great - WP Courtney.djvu/153 ​Page:Eight Friends of the Great - WP Courtney.djvu/154 ​Page:Eight Friends of the Great - WP Courtney.djvu/155 ​Page:Eight Friends of the Great - WP Courtney.djvu/156 ​Page:Eight Friends of the Great - WP Courtney.djvu/157 ​Page:Eight Friends of the Great - WP Courtney.djvu/158 ​Page:Eight Friends of the Great - WP Courtney.djvu/159 ​Page:Eight Friends of the Great - WP Courtney.djvu/160 ​Page:Eight Friends of the Great - WP Courtney.djvu/161 ​Page:Eight Friends of the Great - WP Courtney.djvu/162 ​Page:Eight Friends of the Great - WP Courtney.djvu/163 ​Page:Eight Friends of the Great - WP Courtney.djvu/164 ​Page:Eight Friends of the Great - WP Courtney.djvu/165 ​Page:Eight Friends of the Great - WP Courtney.djvu/166 ​Page:Eight Friends of the Great - WP Courtney.djvu/167 ​Page:Eight Friends of the Great - WP Courtney.djvu/168

# Drug Themes in Science Fiction/Annotated Bibliography

ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY
Primitive Period circa 1900–1935. Science ﬁction was then, at least in the specialist magazines, a crude and artless form, and the stories tend to be skeletal and formula-ridden. Typically, a scientist working in secret (often a mad scientist) devises a drug whose effects operate on the mind in some extreme fashion, and through secret experiments demonstrates the perils of this drug. Examples: Barnes, Binder, Fearn, Gatter, Hall, etc.
Predictive Period circa 1935–1965. As the genre matured, authors began to seek greater complexity of style and structure in their fiction, and to achieve greater thematic perception. The stories of this period characteristically attempted to consider the most wide-ranging consequences of drug use; the authors themselves typically had had no experience with drugs other than alcohol, and based their ideas partly on imaginative projection and partly on the reports of such early experimenters with drugs as Baudelaire and deQuincy. Examples: Guin, Pohl,Collins, Huxley (1932), MacDonald, Hartley, Gunn.
Contemporary Period circa 1965 to date. With drug use now a matter for the news media as well as for solitary experimenters and literateurs, experience with mind-altering phenomena grows; many authors now sample marijuana and LSD and use their experiences as a basis for projections of trends. The changes in society are presumed to be permanent and become ﬁxtures in stories, so that characters in a story set in 1999 use drugs like marijuana and LSD as casually as characters in a futuristic story written in 1950 would use cigarettes and alcohol. Drug use is taken for granted in the future, and new uses are postulated as an outgrowth of a richness of drug experience not available to earlier science-fiction writers, who had neither the personal experience nor the wealth of published data that present-day writers may draw upon. Examples: Aldiss, Spinrad, Silverberg, Dick, Anderson, Disch, Moorcock, Brunner.

United States Supreme Court
181 U.S. 47
Eastern Building Loan Association of Syracuse New York v. Welling
Argued: March 11, 1901. --- Decided: April 8, 1901
This action was commenced in the court of common pleas of Darlington county, South Carolina, by Welling and Bonnoitt, to recover of the Eastern Building & Loan Association of Syracuse, New York, the penalty provided by the statutes of South Carolina for wrongfully failing to enter in the proper office satisfaction of a mortgage which had been executed by Welling and Bonnoitt to the association.
The controversy presented by the issue joined was whether the mortgage in question secured merely the payment of seventy-eight promissory notes, each maturing monthly, and aggregating $6,065.10, or whether in addition such mortgage secured the payment of the dues and assessments upon certain shares of stock in said association which had been subscribed for by Welling and Bonnoitt. The trial court ruled that the mortgage secured only payment of the notes. A judgment entered in favor of the plaintiff upon the verdict of a jury was subsequently affirmed by the supreme court of South Carolina. 56 S.C.. 280, 34 S. E. 409. Thereupon a writ of error was allowed.
Messrs. Wm. Hepburn Russell, Wm. B. Winslow, and D. A. Pierce for plaintiff in error.
