Dean staniey'- Life and Letters.

II IL more than thirteen years since the
death Of Arthur Ienrhyn Stanley. late Dean Of
Westminster, but It was only about twelve
month ago that the materials for writing an
adequate life Of him were placed In the hands
OF Mr.. Rowland T.. PRoTHEHo. the author Of
the two large volumes which are now pub
lished by the Messrs. Scribner. The work has
been prepared with the cooperation and sane
tion OF the present Dean OF Westminster. DR..
d. ID. Bradley. who has contributed an intro
duction. Two OF the three literary execu-
tors, who had been selected by Dr. Stanley.
died before they were more than able to
begin the biographical task to which they
had looked forward. The work was
then undertaken by DR.. Bradley, who
had written short biographical sketch
Of his predecessor. and who. in 1886. had con-
tr6uted an artcle upon his life to the ' En-
cycloprdia britannica" Tho duties OF his DO
sition. however. proved such as TO make It
impossible TO find the time essential to a task
which demanded prolonged and unbroken at

ferred his own recollections of DR.. Stanley.

hands. to Mr.. Rowland Prothero. and the pres
emit biography is the outcome OF tho latter's
labors Tho ample scope OF tho work is due
largely to the extensive use made OF the sub
jcct's letters. Stanley was the most indefati
gable Of letter writer's. AS n boy at Rugby. and
as an undergraduate at Ballol, he had written
letters to his old schoolfellows which were
treasured with an instructive sense of their
future value. As years went by. and
the circle OF his corresp ondcnce widened.
the habit OF letter writing became one
Of his characteristic traits. and there are prob
ably few persons in the ecclesiastical. social.
and literary history OF our time about whom
have been preserved so many records OF his
personal feelings and observations tits true.
and Dean Bradley does not fail to recognize
the fact. that these impressions so rapidly set
down are often marked by hasty and I'M
studied language. by the strong expressions
and exaRgerations OF which Stanley himself

quently recurring in his earlier letters. The
biographical value. however OF such materials
is obviously enhanced by their unpreme ditated
quality. and by the readers conviction that
the writer could never have expected their
eventual publication.

Mr.. Prothero deyotes a chapter to the iniu-
enee OF Oxford on Stanley's character 1t was
here that he to large extent shook of his
earlier reserve. and even seemed to pass
into the opposite extreme from uneompan-
ionaole aloofness aud to incur the charge
Of hekleness through his interest In max
ing new acquaintanees. and his enjoyment
In striking new strata Of society. The
habit which he acquired Of dwelling on the
good side OF man and his opinions his nercep-
ton OF common points in the midst OF discord
and his disposition to find merit in all systems,
or truth in all propositions. made IL almost a
mania with him to bring into harmony men OF
divergent tenets and characters Thus he be-
came centre around which gathered men OF
the most opposite views who found no other
point OF contact with one another except their

so many friends. he had also the d5fdut de sa

perhaps another phase Of it, was his irTesolu-
tion. The raDidity and kesnness with which
he saw the cons as well the pros Of any
course OF action rendered the task Of making
up his mind both disagreeable and difficult.
While engaged in the effort Of decision he was
miserable. All his days he was painfully
aware OF the defect In 1881, when he was

Stanley had been made q Canon OF Cantor
bury In 1851, and then. for the first time ex-
changed his bachelor rooms at Oxford for a
house Of his own. He was thus enabled not
only to offer a home to his mother and I'M
married sister. but to gather guests from all
parts OF England. 1t was there that he thor

formed him into one Of the most fascinating of

Stanley was made Regius Professor Of Ecelesi-

Stanley had defended the publication OF 'Fs-

as heble. Pussy. and Liddon refused to preach
at the special services which he arranged to
hold In the abbeJ on Sunday evening Thus
stanley's first attempt to use his position

the Church ended In failure. The failure. how

Tho most remark able event In the history OF
JApan-An event TO which the self sacr ince OF
. part OF tho French mobiles in the States Cen
eral OF 1889 offers but an imperfect parallel
was tho termination OF feudalism in 1859 by
the voluntary surrender OF their feudal rights
on the part OF the daimyos. This act was
doubtless q logical consequence OF the restora-
ton OF the executive power TO tho Emperor
but 1t would have been impossible to bring
about By force a GENERALIZATION OF the powers
which had been distributed among great ter
ritorial lords 1t is true that the transfer was
facilitated by the fact that, with only few ex-
ceptlons. the hereditary princes OF the prov
incss had come to be merely the ostensib
rulers OF their own domain. The real power
had fallen into the hands OF capable and ener-
Retic samurai. who had been employed TO
manage affairs. They saw or believed that
any scheme for transferring the political au-
thority OF the daimyos to the central Govern
ment would render their services more impor-

signed By the daimyos OF Choshu. SatsumA
Tosa. Hizen, Kaga. and others, Offering the lists
OF their possessions and subjects and begging
the Emperor to resdhs the grants made by
his predecessors. The example thus set by the
most powerful and Influential princes was fol-
lowed rapidly by others Two hundred and
foTtJ-ons OF the daimyos united In asking the
Emperor to take back their hereditary terri

dsersed that the rank Of court mobiles and that

single rank designated as Kwazoku should lie
substituted. Thus. at one stroke. the whole In
stitution OF feudslism which had hourished
from the time Of loritomo. the close OF the
twelfth century. was swept away. The Govern
ment made provision for the administration By
creating procedures to take the place Of daim-

PAT EN- rs
Notice to Inventors.

There was never a time in the his
tory of our country when the de-
mand for inventions and improve
ment in the arts and sciences gen
orally was so great as now. The
conveniences of mankind in the
factory and workshop, the house
hold, on the farm and in official
life, require continual accessions
to the appurtenances and imple
ments of each in order to save labor,
time and expense. The political
change in the administration of
government does not effect the pro-
gress of the American inventor,
who being on the alert, and ready
to perceive the existing deficiencies,
does not permit the affairs of gov
eminent to deter him from quickly
conceiving the remedy to overcome
existing discrepancies. Too great
care cannot be exercised in choos-
ing a competent and skilled attor-
ney to prepare and prosecute an
application for patent. Valuable
interests have been lost and des-
troyed in innumerable instances by
the employment Of incompetent
counsel, and especially is this adj
vice applicable to those who adopt
the ''No patent, no pay" system.
Inventors who intrust their bus
mess to this class of attorneys do so
at eminent risk, as the breadth and
strength of the patent is never con
sidered in view of a quick endeavor
to get an allowance and obtain the
fee then due.
