Dh. HOLLAND LECTCRE.-AS we anolci>
} pated, the lecture Of DR.. Holland was q pro-
dGc,ion Of great beauty aid force Of express
ion, and was delivered in an easy, attractive
manner. However. it was not as practical
as we anticipated. 1t was the u,terauce Of
a poet whose visions are Of roseate sunsets
and smooth, pellucid waters, whose life is
IN the higher plane, scanning nothing below
it, but ever locking upward toward the Elysi.
an fields of Paradise. The subject, " The
Woman Question" was treated by DR.. Hol-
land, probably with as much logic and force
as It's nature would admit, on the side o 4
prescription. Indeed, DR.. Holland is re-
garied as pre-eminently the champion of
the opposcrs Of female suffrage. Hence, his
utteraaces have all the weight OF recognized
authority and comprehend the sum total of
the learning and logic of the proscriptionists.
His whole theory is favored with >water
and possesses the impracticable merit Of
transcendency. Were all men and all wo>
men good and virtaous, and were their nasu-
raj relations those Of the robbins and the
doves, unmodifed BY artificial life or cul,
ture were the Spiritualist doctrines Of af>
fniiy practically applicable in short, were
the natural animal instincts Of the race I'M
modified by culture aud civilization, so that
marriage would become universal and uni.
reFsaay happy, there would be some consis.
,ency in the logic Of DR.. Holland. But alas
culture in our age and under our system of
prescription Of sex, unfortunately widens
ard broadens differences Of sentiment and
fosters uncongeniality Of temperament, crea.
ting an indisposition to marriage and q con.
sequent unnatural state Of society. We need
more assimilation and less distraction, more
co operation aud less pulling apart, more
united life work and less divergence Of cul>
ture-a full recognition Of the fact that men
and women are necessary to each other in
the whole work Of life-not the british idea
of an animal necessity simply, but the dis
,ingaishing human idea of An intellectual
necessity. DIR. Hollands theory is pre- emf.
nently an animal theory regardless of the
Intellectual and failing to recognise that
which most distinguishes mankind from the
brute. If women are idiots, only possessed
Of maternal instincts, DIR. Holland il right.
