Zadig 1CuvierIt is an usual and a commendable practice to preface the discussion ofthe views of a philosophic thinker by some account of the man and of thecircumstances which shaped his life and coloured his way of looking atthings but though Zadig is cited in one of the most important chaptersof Cuviers greatest work little is known about him and that littlemight perhaps be better authenticated than it isIt is said that he lived at Babylon in the time of King Moabdar butthe name of Moabdar does not appear in the list of Babylonian sovereignsbrought to light by the patience and the industry of the decipherers ofcuneiform inscriptions in these later years nor indeed am I awarethat there is any other authority for his existence than that ofthe biographer of Zadig one Arouet de Voltaire among whose moreconspicuous merits strict historical accuracy is perhaps hardly to bereckonedHappily Zadig is in the position of a great many other philosophersWhat he was like when he was in the flesh indeed whether he existed atall are matters of no great consequence What we care about in a lightis that it shows the way not whether it is lamp or candle tallow orwax Our only real interest in Zadig lies in the conceptions of which heis the putative father and his biographer has stated these with so muchclearness and vivacious illustration that we need hardly feel a pangeven if critical research should prove King Moabdar and all the rest ofthe story to be unhistorical and reduce Zadig himself to the shadowycondition of a solar mythVoltaire tells us that disenchanted with life by sundry domesticmisadventures Zadig withdrew from the turmoil of Babylon to a secludedretreat on the banks of the Euphrates where he beguiled his solitudeby the study of nature The manifold wonders of the world of life hada particular attraction for the lonely student incessant and patientobservation of the plants and animals about him sharpened his naturallygood powers of observation and of reasoning until at length heacquired a sagacity which enabled him to perceive endless minutedifferences among objects which to the untutored eye appearedabsolutely alikeIt might have been expected that this enlargement of the powers of themind and of its store of natural knowledge could tend to nothing butthe increase of a mans own welfare and the good of his fellowmen ButZadig was fated to experience the vanity of such expectations One day walking near a little wood he saw hastening that way one of the Queens chief eunuchs followed by a troop of officials who appeared to be in the greatest anxiety running hither and thither like men distraught in search of some lost treasure Young man cried the eunuch have you seen the Queens dog Zadig answered modestly A bitch I think not a dog Quite right replied the eunuch and Zadig continued A very small spaniel who has lately had puppies she limps with the left foreleg and has very long ears Ah you have seen her then said the breathless eunuch No answered Zadig I have not seen her and I really was not aware that the Queen possessed a spaniel By an odd coincidence at the very same time the handsomest horse in the Kings stables broke away from his groom in the Babylonian plain The grand huntsman and all his staff were seeking the horse with as much anxiety as the eunuch and his people the spaniel and the grand huntsman asked Zadig if he had not seen the Kings horse go that way A firstrate galloper smallhoofed five feet high tail three feet and a half long cheek pieces of the bit of twentythree carat gold shoes silver said Zadig Which way did he go Where is he cried the grand huntsman I have not seen anything of the horse and I never heard of him before replied Zadig The grand huntsman and the chief eunuch made sure that Zadig had stolen both the Kings horse and the Queens spaniel so they haled him before the High Court of Desterham which at once condemned him to the knout and transportation for life to Siberia But the sentence was hardly pronounced when the lost horse and spaniel were found So the judges were under the painful necessity of reconsidering their decision but they fined Zadig four hundred ounces of gold for saying he had seen that which he had not seen The first thing was to pay the fine afterwards Zadig was permitted to open his defence to the court which he did in the following terms Stars of justice abysses of knowledge mirrors of truth whose gravity is as that of lead whose inflexibility is as that of iron who rival the diamond in clearness and possess no little affinity with gold since I am permitted to address your august assembly I swear by Ormuzd that I have never seen the respectable lady dog of the Queen nor beheld the sacrosanct horse of the King of Kings This is what happened I was taking a walk towards the little wood near which I subsequently had the honour to meet the venerable chief eunuch and the most illustrious grand huntsman I noticed the track of an animal in the sand and it was easy to see that it was that of a small dog Long faint streaks upon the little elevations of sand between the footmarks convinced me that it was a she dog with pendent dugs showing that she must have had puppies not

of things of immense diversityand perplexity which we call Nature and it is a matter of the deepestinterest to all of us that we should form just conceptions of theconstitution of that system and of its past history With relation tothis universe man is in extent little more than a mathematical pointin duration but a fleeting shadow he is a mere reed shaken in the windsof force But as Pascal long ago remarked although a mere reed he isa thinking reed and in virtue of that wonderful capacity of thoughthe has the power of framing for himself a symbolic conception of theuniverse which although doubtless highly imperfect and inadequate asa picture of the great whole is yet sufficient to serve him as a chartfor the guidance of his practical affairs It has taken long ages oftoilsome and often fruitless labour to enable man to look steadily atthe shifting scenes of the phantasmagoria of Nature to notice what isfixed among her fluctuations and what is regular among her apparentirregularities and it is only comparatively lately within the last fewcenturies that the conception of a universal order and of a definitecourse of things which we term the course of Nature has emergedBut once originated the conception of the constancy of the order ofNature has become the dominant idea of modern thought To any person whois familiar with the facts upon which that conception is based andis competent to estimate their significance it has ceased to beconceivable that chance should have any place in the universe or thatevents should depend upon any but the natural sequence of cause andeffect We have come to look upon the present as the child of the pastand as the parent of the future and as we have excluded chance from aplace in the universe so we ignore even as a possibility the notionof any interference with the order of Nature Whatever may be mensspeculative doctrines it is quite certain that every intelligent personguides his life and risks his fortune upon the belief that the order ofNature is constant and that the chain of natural causation is neverbrokenIn fact no belief which we entertain has so complete a logical basis asthat to which I have just referred It tacitly underlies every processof reasoning it is the foundation of every act of the will It is basedupon the broadest induction and it is verified by the most constantregular and universal of deductive processes But we must recollectthat any human belief however broad its basis however defensible itmay seem is after all only a probable belief and that our widest andsafest generalisations are simply statements of the highest degree ofprobability Though we are quite clear about the constancy of the orderof Nature at the present time and in the present state of things itby no means necessarily follows that we are justified in expanding thisgeneralisation into the infinite past and in denying absolutely thatthere may have been a time when Nature did not follow a fixed orderwhen the relations of cause and effect were not definite and whenextranatural agencies interfered with the general course of NatureCautious men will allow that a universe so different from that which weknow may have existed just as a very candid thinker may admit that aworld in which two and two do not make four and in which two straightlines do inclose a space may exist But the same caution which forcesthe admission of such possibilities demands a great deal of evidencebefore it recognises them to be anything more substantial And whenit is asserted that so many thousand years ago events occurred in amanner utterly foreign to and inconsistent with the existing laws ofNature men who without being particularly cautious are simply honestthinkers unwilling to deceive themselves or delude others ask fortrustworthy evidence of the factDid things so happen or did they not This is a historical question andone the answer to which must be sought in the same way as the solutionof any other historical problemSo far as I know there are only three hypotheses which ever have beenentertained or which well can be entertained respecting the pasthistory of Nature I will in the first place state the hypothesesand then I will consider what evidence bearing upon them is in ourpossession and by what light of criticism that evidence is to beinterpretedUpon the first hypothesis the assumption is that phenomena of Naturesimilar to those exhibited by the present world have always existed inother words that the universe has existed from all eternity in whatmay be broadly termed its present conditionThe second hypothesis is that the present state of things has had onlya limited duration and that at some period in the past a conditionof the world essentially similar to that which we now know came intoexistence without any precedent condition from which it could havenaturally proceeded The assumption that successive states of Naturehave arisen each without any relation of natural causation to anantecedent state is a mere modification of this second hypothesisThe third hypothesis also assumes that the present state of things hashad but a limited duration but it supposes that this state has beenevolved by a natural process from an antecedent state and that fromanother and so on and on this hypothesis the attempt to assign anylimit to the series of past changes is usually given upIt is so needful to form clear and distinct notions of what is reallymeant by each of these hypotheses that I will ask you to imagine whataccording to each would have been visible to a spectator of the eventswhich constitute the history of the earth On the first hypothesishowever far back in time that spectator might be placed he would seea world essentially though perhaps not in all its details similar tothat which now exists The animals which existed would be the ancestorsof those which

WARDFOREWORDThe story The High Calling was written at two different periods in1909 and 1910 and was read at two different periods chapter bychapter to the young people in my church on successive Sundayevenings The main purpose of the story is to illustrate the value ofthe average American family training and the final victory of thespiritual ideals over material or physical attractions The finaloutcome of the struggle which Helen Douglas makes between her naturalinclination to follow a life of ease and luxury and the real trainingwhich she has received at home is the picture of what is going on inthe best American homes today It has been my hope that the story wouldhelp many young people to realize the great difference between thefinest type of manhood and womanhood and that which in some cases hasgrown up on American soil where the standards have been low and theideals have been obscured by fashion by false home training and bysuperficial ideas of happiness In other words my purpose has been todescribe in the main characters in the book the manly heroic type ofChristian struggle and final victory which realizes the response whichthe higher nature makes to the call from above This idea which runsthrough the story gives it its name of The High Calling As my ownyoung people gave the story a beautiful reception in their listening toit it is my earnest hope that if the book has the good fortune to finda larger audience it may reach more young people with the same messageTopeka Kansas 1911 CHARLES M SHELDONTHE HIGH CALLINGCHAPTER IPAUL DOUGLAS and his wife Esther were holding a serious counciltogether over their older boy WalterI cant help feeling a little disappointment over the way things aregoing I did so want the boy to come into the office with meI know said Esther with a grave smile but he seems to have hismind made up I dont think we ought to thwart him if he is made to dothat for his lifeworkNo said Paul looking at Esther with great thoughtfulness I havealways believed that a boy should have freedom to choose his lifeworkBut what puzzles me is where did Walter get his leaning towardelectrical engineering None of my ancestors so far as I know ever hadthe slightest tendency that way and the Darcys for generations havebeen business menI was in the boys room the other day continued Paul meditativelyand he had the floor and his bed and the chairs covered with models ofelectrical machines I was afraid to sit down or lean up againstanything for fear it would go off and give me a shock or somethingWhile I was asking questions what did the boy do but start acontrivance that hung from the ceiling and it reached down a metallicarm that grabbed my hat off and began to comb my hair I yellednaturally or unnaturally and tried to get loose but anothercontrivance shot out from the wall somewhere and clutched me by the legand began to make frantic gestures at my shoes like a wild bootblackingemporium I decided to stand still rather than run the risk of gettinghit somewhere else Meanwhile Walter was laughing so hard he couldntanswer my emphatic request to know what the thing was going to do Hefinally explained that it was a new device he was experimenting with togive the patient head treatment for nervous prostration and black hisshoes while he waited I made him turn off the power and then Icautiously backed out of the room and gave him my testimonial on theefficacy of his invention adapted to give anyone nervous prostration andgeneral paralysis who never had themEsther laughed the same good generous contagious laugh she had alwaysknown and Paul had always loved to hearWalter is a genius I always said he would make his markI was afraid he would make several on me before I could get away saidPaul smiling Well of course we have really decided to let the boygo to Burrton If he is going to have a thorough course in electricityI want him to have the best there isI shall miss him dreadfully O dear my darling Esther suddenlyyielded to a good cry that somewhat upset Paul Only once in a while intheir married life had Esther given way to such a display of feelingBut before Paul went down to the office that morning she had dried hertears and with a hopeful smile prepared to make out a list of Waltersschool necessities for the eight months he would be away from homeWalter was twenty years old tall and slim with his fathers featuresand his mothers voice and a very strong liking for all scientific andmechanical work He had within the year graduated from the Milton highschool with honors in the physics department and had at once set hisambition on going to Burrton Electrical and Engineering School the bestschool of its kind in the East His father had made him a tempting offerto come into the _News_ office but the boy had frankly told his fatherthat if there was anything in the world he disliked it was a newspaperSo Paul with a sigh of disappointment had yielded to the inevitableand agreed to the Burrton plan simply stipulating that Walter who wasdisposed to be luxurious in his tastes should make up his mind to aschool course stripped of unnecessary expenses and devoted to the mainthingI am willing of course to help you with your education he said ina very plain frank talk with Walter when the decision was finally madeBut I expect you to do something for yourself The Burrton

OF WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA DEDICATED TO _Mrs Henry Villard_ AND _Mrs J O Miller__Introduction_There are cook books and cook books and their generation is not endeda generation that began in the Garden of Eden presumably for if MotherEve was not vastly different from her daughters she knew how to cooksome things better than her neighbors and they wanted to know how shemade them and she wanted to tell themIndeed it has been stated that the very first book printed a smallaffair consisted mainly of recipes for messes of food and forremedies for diseases common in growing familiesWhether the very first book printed was a cook book or not it is quitetrue that among the very oldest books extant are those telling how toprepare food clothing and medicine Some of these make mightyinteresting reading particularly the portions relating to cures for allsorts of ills likewise of love when it seemed an ill and of ill luckAnd who wouldnt cheerfully pay money even in this enlightened day fora book containing recipes for just these same things For in spite ofour higher civilization broader education and vastly extendedknowledge we still believe in lucky days lucky stones and luckyomensThese formed no inconsiderable part of the old time cook book and nodoubt would constitute a very attractive feature of a modern culinaryguide However hardly anyone would confess to having bought it on thataccountIn these later times professors of the culinary art tell us the cookinghas been reduced to a science and that there is no more guess workabout it They have given high sounding names to the food elementsfigured out perfectly balanced rations and adjusted foods to allconditions of health or ill health And yet the world is eatingpractically the same old things and in the same old way the differencebeing confined mainly to the sauces added to please the tasteNow that women are coming into their own and being sincerely interestedin the welfare of the race it is entirely proper that they shouldprescribe the food balance the ration and tell how it should beprepared and servedSeeing that a large majority of the sickness that plagues the land isdue to improper feeding and can be prevented by teaching the simpleart of cooking of serving and of eating the wonder is that moreattention has not been given to instruction in the simpler phases of theculinary artIt is far from being certain that famous chefs have contributed greatlyto the health and long life of those able to pay the fine salaries theydemand Nor are these sent to minister to the sick nor to the workingpeople nor to the poor It would seem that even since before the timeof Lucullus their business has been mainly to invent and concoct dishesthat would appeal to perverted tastes and abnormal appetitesThe simple life promises most in this earthly stage of our existencefor as we eat so we live and as we live so we die and after death thejudgment on our lives Thus it is that our spiritual lives are more orless directly influenced by our feeding habitsEating and drinking are so essential to our living and to ourusefulness and so directly involved with our future state that thesemust be classed with our sacred duties Hence the necessity for soeducating the children that they will know how to live and how todevelop into hale hearty and wholesome men and women thus insuring thebest possible social and political conditions for the people of thiscountryThe surest way into the affections of a man is through his stomachalso to his pocket is an ancient joke and yet not all a joke therebeing several grains of truth in it enough at least to warrant somethoughtful attentionWomen being the homekeepers and the natural guardians of the childrenit is important that they be made familiar with the culinary art so theymay be entirely competent to lead coming generations in the paths ofhealth and happinessSo say the members of Equal Franchise Associations throughout the lengthand breadth of our land and beyond the border as far as truecivilization extendsHence this book which represents an honest effort to benefit the peopleold and young native and foreign It is not a speculative venture but adependable guide to a most desirable social moral and physical state ofbeingDisguise it as we may the fact remains that the feeding of a people isof first importance seeing the feeding is the great essential tosuccess either social or commercial The farmer and stock raiser givesspecial attention to feeding usually more to the feeding of his animalsthan of his children or of himself And yet he wonders why his domesticaffairs do not thrive and prosper as does his farming and stockraisingPhysical trainers are most particular about what the members of theirclasses eat and drink One mess of strawberry short cake and cream willunfit a boy for a field contest for a whole week while a full meal ofdainties may completely upset a man or woman for a day or twoThe cook book of the past was filled mainly with recipes for daintiesrather than sane and wholesome dishes the aim being to please the tastefor the moment rather than to feed the body and the brainNow that we are entering upon an age of sane living it is important thatthe home makers should be impressed with the fact that good healthprecedes all that is worth while in

Produced by DR ThompsonTHE EVOLUTION OF THEOLOGY AN ANTHROPOLOGICAL STUDYESSAY 8 FROM SCIENCE AND HEBREW TRADITIONBy Thomas Henry HuxleyI conceive that the origin the growth the decline and the fallof those speculations respecting the existence the powers and thedispositions of beings analogous to men but more or less devoid ofcorporeal qualities which may be broadly included under the head oftheology are phenomena the study of which legitimately falls withinthe province of the anthropologist And it is purely as a question ofanthropology a department of biology to which at various times I havegiven a good deal of attention that I propose to treat of the evolutionof theology in the following pagesWith theology as a code of dogmas which are to be believed or at anyrate repeated under penalty of present or future punishment or as astorehouse of anaesthetics for those who find the pains of life toohard to bear I have nothing to do and so far as it may be possibleI shall avoid the expression of any opinion as to the objective truth orfalsehood of the systems of theological speculation of which I may findoccasion to speak From my present point of view theology is regardedas a natural product of the operations of the human mind under theconditions of its existence just as any other branch of science orthe arts of architecture or music or painting are such products Likethem theology has a history Like them also it is to be met with incertain simple and rudimentary forms and these can be connected by amultitude of gradations which exist or have existed among people ofvarious ages and races with the most highly developed theologies ofpast and present times It is not my object to interfere even in theslightest degree with beliefs which anybody holds sacred or to alterthe conviction of any one who is of opinion that in dealing withtheology we ought to be guided by considerations different from thosewhich would be thought appropriate if the problem lay in the provinceof chemistry or of mineralogy And if people of these ways of thinkingchoose to read beyond the present paragraph the responsibility formeeting with anything they may dislike rests with them and not with meWe are all likely to be more familiar with the theological history ofthe Israelites than with that of any other nation We may thereforefitly make it the first object of our studies and it will be convenientto commence with that period which lies between the invasion of Canaanand the early days of the monarchy and answers to the eleventh andtwelfth centuries BC or thereabouts The evidence on which anyconclusion as to the nature of Israelitic theology in those days must bebased is wholly contained in the Hebrew Scripturesan agglomerationof documents which certainly belong to very different ages but of theexact dates and authorship of any one of which except perhaps a fewof the prophetical writings there is no evidence either internal orexternal so far as I can discover of such a nature as to justify morethan a confession of ignorance or at most an approximate conclusionIn this venerable record of ancient life miscalled a book when itis really a library comparable to a selection of works from Englishliterature between the times of Beda and those of Milton we have thestratified deposits often confused and even with their natural orderinverted left by the stream of the intellectual and moral life ofIsrael during many centuries And embedded in these strata there arenumerous remains of forms of thought which once lived and whichthough often unfortunately mere fragments are of priceless value tothe anthropologist Our task is to rescue these from their relativelyunimportant surroundings and by careful comparison with existing formsof theology to make the dead world which they record live again Inother words our problem is palaeontological and the method pursuedmust be the same as that employed in dealing with other fossil remainsAmong the richest of the fossiliferous strata to which I have alludedare the books of Judges and Samuel 1 It has often been observed thatthese writings stand out in marked relief from those which precede andfollow them in virtue of a certain archaic freshness and of a greaterfreedom from traces of late interpolation and editorial trimmingJephthah Gideon and Samson are men of old heroic stamp who wouldlook as much in place in a Norse Saga as where they are and if thevarnishbrush of later respectability has passed over these memoirs ofthe mighty men of a wild age here and there it has not succeeded ineffacing or even in seriously obscuring the essential characteristicsof the theology traditionally ascribed to their epochThere is nothing that I have met with in the results of Biblicalcriticism inconsistent with the conviction that these books give us afairly trustworthy account of Israelitic life and thought in the timeswhich they cover and as such apart from the great literary merit ofmany of their episodes they possess the interest of being perhaps theoldest genuine history as apart from mere chronicles on the one handand mere legends on the other at present accessible to usBut it is often said with exultation by writers of one party and oftenadmitted more or less unwillingly by their opponents that thesebooks are untrustworthy by reason of being full of obviously unhistorictales And as a notable example the narrative of Sauls visit to thesocalled witch of Endor is often cited As I have already intimatedI have nothing to do with theological partisanship either heterodox ororthodox nor for my present purpose does it matter very much whetherthe story is historically true or whether it merely shows what thewriter believed but looking at the matter solely from the point ofview of an anthropologist I beg leave to express the opinion thatthe account of Sauls necromantic expedition is quite consistent withprobability That is to say I see no reason whatever to doubt firstlythat Saul made such a visit and secondly that he and all who werepresent including the wise woman of Endor herself would have givenwith entire sincerity very much the same account of the

compression and selection have been imperative we havetherefore limited our guidance to such routes and edifices as seemedto offer the more important objects of historic and artistic interestexcluding from our purview with much regret the works ofcontemporary artists On the Louvre as the richest Thesaurus ofbeautiful things in Europe we have dwelt at some length and even soit has been possible only to deal broadly with its contents A bookhas however this advantage over a corporeal guide it can be curtlydismissed without fear of offence when antipathy may impel thetraveller to pass by or sympathy invite him to linger over thevarious objects indicated to his gaze In a city where change is soconstant and the housebreakers pick so active any work dealing withmonuments of the past must needs soon become imperfect Since thepublication of _Paris and its Story_ in the autumn of 1904 apicturesque group of old houses in the Rue de lArbre Sec includingthe Hôtel des Mousquetaires the traditional

Produced by Martin AdamsonLIFE AND LETTERS OF LORD MACAULAYVolume IBy Sir George Otto TrevelyanPREFACE TO THE SECOND EDITIONWHEN publishing the Second Edition of Lord MACAULAYS Life and LettersI may be permitted to say that no pains were spared in order that theFirst Edition should be as complete as possible But in the course ofthe last nine months I have come into possession of a certain quantityof supplementary matter which the appearance of the book has elicitedfrom various quarters Stray letters have been hunted up Halfforgottenanecdotes have been recalled Floating reminiscences have been reducedto shapein one case as will be seen from the extracts from SirWilliam Stirling Maxwells letter by no unskilful hand I should havebeen tempted to draw more largely upon these new resources if it hadnot been for the examples which literary history only too copiouslyaffords of the risk that attends any attempt to alter the form orconsiderably increase the bulk of a work which in its original shapehas had the good fortune not to displease the public I have howeverventured by a very sparing selection from sufficiently abundantmaterial slightly to enlarge and I trust somewhat to enrich thebookIf this Second Edition is not rigidly correct in word and substanceI have no valid excuse to offer Nothing more pleasantly indicates thewidespread interest with which Lord MACAULAY has inspired his readersboth at home and in foreign countries than the almost microscopic carewith which these volumes have been studied It is not too much to saythat in several instances a misprint or a verbal error has beenbrought to my notice by at least fiveandtwenty different persons andthere is hardly a page in the book which has not afforded occasion forcomment or suggestion from some friendly correspondent There is nostatement of any importance throughout the two volumes the accuracy ofwhich has been circumstantially impugned but some expressions whichhave given personal pain or annoyance have been softened or removedThere is another class of criticism to which I have found myselfaltogether unable to defer I have frequently been told by reviewersthat I should have better consulted MACAULAYS reputation or donemore honour to MACAULAYS memory if I had omitted passages in theletters or diaries which may be said to bear the trace of intellectualnarrowness or political and religious intolerance I cannot but thinkthat strictures of this nature imply a serious misconception of thebiographers duty It was my business to show my Uncle as he was andnot as I or any one else would have had him If a faithful picture ofMACAULAY could not have been produced without injury to his memory Ishould have left the task of drawing that picture to others but havingonce undertaken the work I had no choice but to ask myself with regardto each feature of the portrait not whether it was attractive butwhether it was characteristic We who had the best opportunity ofknowing him have always been convinced that his character would standthe test of an exact and even a minute delineation and we humblybelieve that our confidence was not misplaced and that the readingworld has now extended to the man the approbation which it has longconceded to his hooksG O TDecember 1876PREFACE TO THE FIRST EDITIONTHIS work has been undertaken principally from a conviction that itis the performance of a duty which to the best of my ability it isincumbent on me to fulfil Though even on this ground I cannot appealto the forbearance of my readers I may venture to refer to a peculiardifficulty which I have experienced in dealing with Lord MACAULAYSprivate papersTo give to the world compositions not intended for publication may beno injury to the fame of writers who by habit were careless and hastyworkmen but it is far otherwise in the case of one who made it arule for himself to publish nothing which was not carefully plannedstrenuously laboured and minutely finished Now it is impossibleto examine Lord MACAULAYS journals and correspondence without beingpersuaded that the idea of their being printed even in part never waspresent to his mind and I should not feel myself justified in layingthem before the public if it were not that their unlaboured andspontaneous character adds to their biographical value all and perhapsmore than all that it detracts from their literary meritTo the heirs and relations of Mr Thomas Flower Ellis and Mr AdamBlack to the Marquis of Lansdowne to Mr Macvey Napier and to theexecutors of Dr Whewell my thanks are due for the courtesy with whichthey have placed the different portions of my Uncles correspondence atmy disposal Lady Caroline Lascelles has most kindly permitted me touse as much of Lord Carlisles journal as relates to

the Opinion they had of its Power andevery body who has a discerning Faculty may have experienced thatsometimes a Discourse by the Power of the _Orators_ Voice has made anImpression which was lost in the ReadingBut above all the soft and pleasing Voice of the _fair Sex_ hasirresistible Charms and adds considerably to their BeautyIf the Voice then has such singular Prerogatives one must naturallywish its Perfection in musical Performances and be inclined to forwardany thing that may be conducive to that end This is the reason why Ihave been more easily prevaild upon to engage in this Work in order tomake a famous _Italian Master_ who treats so well on this Subjectfamiliar to _England_ and why I presume to offer it to your ProtectionThe Part I bear in it is not enough to claim any Merit but myendeavouring to offer to your Perusal what may be entertaining and ofService intitles me humbly to recommend myself to your Favour Who am LADIES _and_ GENTLEMEN _Your most devoted And most obedient Humble Servant_ J E GALLIARDIllustrationAPrefatory DiscourseGIVING_Some Account of the_ AUTHOR_Pier_ _Francesco Tosi_ the Author of the following Treatise was an_Italian_ and a Singer of great Esteem and Reputation He spent themost part of his Life in travelling and by that Means heard the mosteminent Singers in _Europe_ from whence by the Help of his niceTaste he made the following Observations Among his many Excursionshis Curiosity was raised to visit _England_ where he resided for sometime in the Reigns of King _James_ the Second King _William_ King_George_ the First and the Beginning of his present Majestys He dydsoon after having lived to above Fourscore He had a great deal of Witand Vivacity which he retained to his latter Days His manner ofSinging was full of Expression and Passion chiefly in the Stile ofChamberMusick The best Performers in his Time thought themselves happywhen they could have an Opportunity to hear him After he had lost hisVoice he applyd himself more particularly to Composition of which hehas given Proof in his _Cantatas_ which are of an exquisite Tasteespecially in the _Recitatives_ where he excels in the _Pathetick_ and_Expression_ beyond any other He was a zealous Wellwisher to all whodistinguished themselves in Musick but rigorous to those who abused anddegraded the Profession He was very much esteemed by Persons of Rankamong whom the late Earl of _Peterborough_ was one having often met himin his Travels beyond Sea and he was well received by his Lordshipwhen in _England_ to Whom he dedicated this Treatise This alone wouldbe a sufficient Indication of his Merit his being taken Notice of by aPerson of that Quality and distinguishing Taste The Emperor _Joseph_gave him an honourable Employment _ArchDuchess_ a ChurchRetirement insome part of _Italy_ and the late _Flanders_ where he died As for his_Observations_ and _Sentiments_ on Singing they must speak forthemselves and the Translation of them it is hoped will be acceptableto Lovers of Musick because this particular Branch has never beentreated of in so distinct and ample a Manner by any other AuthorBesides it has been thought by Persons of Judgment that it would be ofService to make the Sentiments of our Author more universally knownwhen a false Taste in Musick is so prevailing and that these Censuresas they are passed by an _Italian_ upon his own Countrymen cannot butbe looked upon as impartial It is incontestable that the Neglect oftrue Study the sacrificing the Beauty of the Voice to a Number ofillregulated Volubilities the neglecting the Pronunciation andExpression of the Words besides many other Things taken Notice of inthis Treatise are all _bad_ The Studious will find that our AuthorsRemarks will be of Advantage not only to Vocal Performers but likewiseto the Instrumental where Taste and a Manner are required and shewthat a little less _Fiddling_ with the _Voice_ and a little more_Singing_ with the _Instrument_ would be of great Service to BothWhosoever reads this Treatise with Application cannot fail ofImprovement by it It is hoped that the Translation will be indulgedif notwithstanding all possible Care it should be defective in thePurity of the _English_ Language it being almost impossibleconsidering the Stile of our Author which is a little more figurativethan the present Taste of the _English_ allows in their Writings notto retain something of the Idiom of the Original but where the Sense ofthe Matter is made plain

the rooftop of the Cannon Building in New York CityHis message brought an immediate response from the waiting engineer whoflicked switches and twirled dials with expert motions and brought intoplay the gigantic 50000watt projector installed on the peakIn his own office Tom paced the floor in front of the threewindowexposure watching the heavens for the resultsThey werent long in comingThe eyes came first Eyes the size of Navy dirigibles with pupils ofdeep cerulean blue floating against the backdrop of the gray cumulusThe long lashes curled out almost a hundred feet from the lids Then therest of Monica Mitchells famous face appeared the flowing yellowlocks the sensuously curved lips parted moistly from even white teethFrom chin to hairline the projected image above the city was close to athousand feet in diameterThen as if the floating countenance wasnt alarming enough the rubylips began to move Monicas sweetsultry voice like the firstdrippings from a jar of honey overcame the city sounds and begancrooning the syrupy strains of _Love Me Alone_ Which happened by nocoincidence to be the title and theme song of Monicas newest epicIllustration Monicas imageplastered across the heavensstoppedtraffic in all directionsIt was a triumph Tom knew it the moment he looked down at the crowdedthoroughfare eighteen stories beneath the window Traffic had come to amore than normal standstill Drivers were leaving their autos and handswere being upraised towards the gargantuan face on the clouds aboveAnd of course Toms phone rang Ostreichs big scowling face was barely squeezed within the confines ofthe visiphone screen He said nothing intelligible for two minutesRelax Chief Tom said brightly Ive been saving this as asurpriseOstreichs reply was censorableNow look D O You gave me _carte blanche_ with this Mitchell baberemember I figured we really needed a shot in the arm for this newpicture of hers The receipts on her last turkey couldnt pay hermasseursOstreich who had built his firm by establishing golden public imagesfor various industrialists and their enterprises had anticipatedtrouble the moment he let the barrier down to admit such unworthyclients as Monica Mitchell But he had never anticipated that his acepublicist would display such carnival tactics in their promotion Hegrowled like a taunted leopardThis is a cheap trick Tom Do you hear me Turn that thing off atonceWho me Tom said innocently Gosh D O Im no engineer I leftinstructions with the operator to keep the projector going for threehours until sunset Dont think I can do anything about it nowYoull damn well _have_ to do something about it Youre ruining usLook at it this way Chief What can we lose If anybody takes offensewe can blame it on that Hollywood gangTurn that damn thing off If that blankety face isnt out of the sky inten minutes you can start emptying your deskTom was a redhead He reached over and snapped the visiphone switchbefore his boss could have the satisfaction He stomped to the windowstill raging at Ostreichs lack of appreciationBut he chuckled when he saw the activity in the street The crowds werethickening at the intersections and a special battalion of city policewere trying to keep things moving Behind him the visiphone was beepingfrantically againHe waited a full minute before answering all set to snap at Ostreichonce moreBut it wasnt Ostreich It was a squarefaced man with beetling browsand a chin like the biting end of a steam shovel It took Tom a while torecognize the face of Stinson commissioner of policeMr BlackerYes sir Tom gulpedMr Ostreich referred me to you You responsible for that thecommissioners voice was choked that menaceMenace sirYou know what Im talking about Weve got half a dozen CAA complaintsalready That things a menace to public safety a hazard to airtravelLook Mr Stinson Its only a harmless publicity stuntHarmless You got funny ideas Mr Blacker Dont get the wrong ideaabout our city ordinances We got statutes that cover this kind ofthing If you dont want to be a victim of one of them turn that damnedmonstrosity offThe commissioners angry visage left a reverse shadow burned on thevisiphone screen It remained glowing there long after the contact wasbrokenTom Blacker walked the carpeted floor of his office chewing on hislower lip and cursing the feeble imaginations of Ostreich and the restof them When his temper had cooled he got sober thoughts ofindictments and law suits and unemployment With a sigh he contactedthe engineer on the roof of the Cannon Building Then he went to thewindow and watched

turninghis stern face toward the crewThe doctor ordered it replied an old seamanYou Scudamore inquired the captain wheeling round to look a tallthin man in the faceThe latters countenance was one of those which at the first glanceappear smooth and gentle whose features when smiling are evencaptivating until some expression of mockery or greed of vengeancesuddenly transforms the winning glance into an image of horrorYou gave the order yourself Captain Rolls replied the surgeon witha smiling face and in a tone of marked gentleness as if the subjectunder discussion were some very noble deed which he declined toacknowledge merely from exaggerated modesty When the ship sprung aleak you commanded that all the superfluous ballast should be thrownoverboard The men first cast out the heavy ballast then you orderedthem to add whatever else could be spared Then the cannon went thoughit was a great pity for we stand in need of them especially when offthe Ladrones but even this did not lighten the ship sufficiently Youagain issued orders that everything superfluous must be cast into thesea There was nothing left which could be dispensed with except thebars of silver and the sick The crew began to discuss which should bethrown overboard I answered We shall not be asked for the _men_ whenwe reach London but we shall be for the silver and by my advice thesilver was saved and the ship weathered the stormDr Scudamore said the captain with cool deliberation for thisinhuman deed you will be cashiered kept in irons until we reach Londonand there delivered up to justiceSail in sight shouted the man at the helm and several of the crewwhispered in terror PiratesScudamore fixed his greengray eyes on the captain and smilingcontemptuously said in tones which had suddenly grown hoarseI think it might be advisable to defer my punishment a few hours youor some one else might need my services during the intervalThat is no affair of yours returned the captain To die without adoctor or to be thrown into the sea by his orders is much the samethingHa ha ha You see it might have been better for you in the end hadyou relieved the ship of the sick in the first place instead ofthrowing your guns overboard But thats _your_ affairCaptain Rolls silently nodded to the men to take the doctor below Thenhe gave orders that the bars of silver should be concealed in the holdand that every man should go to his post to be prepared for any attackHe himself taking his weapons went to his usual station and withoutchanging the vessels course in the least ordered all sail to be setMeanwhile the pirate craft was dashing toward the brigantine The blackflag was already visible and a cannon ball whistling close by thebrigantines rigging was the first message from the searobberCaptain Rolls had no cannon with which to answer The silence wasinterpreted by the pirates as fear and one of their number shouted in atone of thunder through his speaking trumpetShip ahoy A word with the captainInstantly a battleflag fluttered from every masthead on thebrigantineA terrible uproar arose on the pirate ship a tall man with a grayvest girdled by a scarlet sash appeared on

he now gives us a brand new idea and an ingenious solution We hope no racketeers read this story They might as a result cause the police some trouble Fortunately however the racket has a flaw_Richard Moyer senior partner of the firm of Moyer Perkins read thatletter over twice before he called in the man who had helped him makethe importing of high grade groceries from England a most profitablebusiness for over twenty yearsHe simply handed the letter over to Paul Perkins without a word ofexplanation The latter read it through and handed it back in equalsilence but the hand that held the letter trembledJust another racket exclaimed Moyer finallyLooks like it I suppose we were foolish to start in paying forprotection First our trucks were threatened then the new buildingafter that our best customers were bombed and we had to pay to protectthem Your son was kidnappedand the police They even went so far asto advise that we keep on payingand now this letter We might as wellclose out the business All our profits go toward supporting a gang ofcriminals who have muscled into every type of American industryIllustration They were running out through the picture A crazed mantore it from the wallOn the face of it the letter looks innocent enough sighed Perkins ashe picked it up and gave it another reading Simply says that the ratmenace is increasing cites several business houses where the rodentshave done a great deal of damage and offers to give our warehousescomplete protection for five thousand a week You could show that letterto a hundred police officials and they would laugh at your fears But Iam not laughing Because that letter was written on the same damagedtypewriter that the other letters were written on and those gangstershave not failed to make any of their threats goodSuppose we pretend that they are honest and answer their letter andsend them a check for the first weeks protectionThey will laugh at you and send back the checkThey may at that Then we will give them the cash In either case itwill give us time to think I feel that they are only experimenting withus They are after larger game than five thousand a week We shall seeand hear more of this rat business in a while Write to them and tellthem that we will pay the cash and put the entire matter in the handsof the Chamber of Commerce If it does not act soon the entire citywill be in the hands of the gangstersThe complaint of Moyer Perkins was only one of a dozen similar oneswhich reached the Chamber of Commerce that day In a secluded room ofthe Manufacturers Club a dozen wealthy men met day after day hearingand weighing evidence against a hundred forms of racketeering which wasrapidly becoming a terrible and powerful enemy to the varied industriesof the Metropolis Practically every business had been threatened andmore than one captain of industry blustered openly but paid his weeklytribute silently in order to protect his business family and homeUp to this time the usual weapon had been the strong arm man and thebomb While these were bad enough they were at least understood Whenit came to rats it was different Of course everybody knew somethingabout ratsthat they were supposed to be numerous around the riverfronts and warehousesbut on the other hand rats were seldom seen indaylight and there were many New Yorkers who never saw oneNot one of the dozen men had been raised on a farm and none had servedin the trenches during the World War They did not understand rats sothey hesitated and finally simply advised the merchants who hadreceived the rat letters to use their own judgement As a result somepaid tribute and some did not There is no evidence to show that thosewho paid were one hundred per cent free from rats in their warehousesbut within a week there was ample proof that at least three wholesalegroceries and one laundry had been invaded overnight by rats insufficient quantity to cause thousands of dollars worth of damagesMoyer Perkins heard the news and decided to pay another five thousandThe Defense Committee of the Chamber of Commerce was called to an extrameeting at the El Dorado Hotel The owner of the hotel was one of theCommittee a man who so far had taken a very inactive part in itstransactions He did not waste time in giving the reason for the specialmeetingI was called on the telephone this morning he explained The personat the other end wanted to protect my hotel from rats for the smallcompensation of twentyfive thousand dollars a week He referredcasually to the three warehouses and one laundry that had been wreckedlast week Right at the present time I have on an average twelvehundred guests a night They are here to be entertained not to befrightened by rats But here is the point If I yield every other hotelin the city will be placed in a similar position Three hundred thousandstrangers are in the city every day Suppose that ten hotels wereoverrun with rats in one week and the fact was circulated in the pressWhat would that cost the cityBetter pay it growled one of the men He happened to own a hotel Heknew how temperamental was the pleasureseeking stranger Singularlythat advice was the only brand given by the rest of the Committee Theyseemed strangely unable to offer any remedy except to keep on paying andin every way possible bar unpleasant news from the newspapersInside of next month fiftyfive hotels were paying a weekly tax to therat racketeers One small hotel refused and was at once deluged with anarmy of rats which drove out guests and employees killed one old

JOSIAH H COMBS A B Editor of The Transylvanian Transylvania Printing Company Lexington Kentucky 1911 TO R M SINTRODUCTIONThis syllabus or findinglist is offered to lovers of folkliteraturein the hope that it may not be without interest and value to them forpurposes of comparison and identification It includes 333 itemsexclusive of 114 variants and embraces all popular songs that have sofar come to hand as having been learned by ear instead of by eye asexisting through oral transmissionsongballads lovesongsnumbersongs dancesongs playsongs childsongs countingout rimeslullabies jigs nonsense rimes ditties etcThere is every reason to believe that many more such await thecollector in fact their number is constantly being increased eventoday by the creation of new ones by adaptation of the old and even bythe absorption and consequent metamorphosis of literaryquasiliterary or pseudoliterary types into the current of oraltraditionThis collection then is by no means complete means have not beenavailable for a systematic and scientific search for these folksongswhich have been gathered very casually during the past five yearsthrough occasional travel acquaintanceship and correspondence in onlythe twentyone following counties Fayette Madison Rowan ElliottCarter Boyd Lawrence Morgan Johnson Pike Knott Breathitt ClayLaurel Rockcastle Garrard Boyle Anderson Shelby Henry andOwenall lying in Central and Eastern KentuckyAll of the material listed has thus been collected in this State thougha variant of The Jews Daughter page 8 has come by chance fromMichigan and another of The Pretty Mohee page 12 was sent fromGeorgia The Cumberland Mountain region in the eastern part of theState has naturally furnished the larger half of the material becauseof local conditions favorable to the propagation of folksong Howeversections of Kentucky lying farther to the westward are almost equallyprolific The wide extension of the same ballad throughout the Stateargues convincingly for the unity of the Kentucky stocka fact whichmay be confirmed in more ways than oneThe arrangement is as follows The material in hand is loosely groupedin eighteen sections according to origin chronology content or formThough logically at fault because of the crossdivision thus inevitablyentailed this plan has seemed to be the best No real confusion willresult to the user in consequence In fact no matter what system beadopted certain songs will belong equally well to two or more differentcategoriesUnder each of these eighteen main divisions the treatment of theindividual songballad is in general as follows First stands thetitle with variant titles in parentheses Should this be unknown acaption coined by the editors is placed in brackets Secondly a Romannumeral immediately follows the above to denote the number of versionsif variants have been found Thirdly the prosodical character of thesong is roughly indicated by a combination of letters and numerals Eachletter indicates a line the variation in the letters indicates in theusual fashion the rimescheme of the stanza Each numeral indicates thenumber of stresses in the line or lines denoted by the letter orletters immediately succeeding it When a chorus burden or refrain ispresent the metrical scheme of this stands immediately after an andas for example in The Blue and the Gray page 14 In the case of therefrain the letters used are independent of those immediately precedingthe and and denoting the rimescheme of the stanza proper Fourthlyan Arabic numeral follows to indicate the number of stanzas in the songexclusive of the refrain should one be present If the number ofstanzas in a ballad is indeterminable because its form is fragmentaryor because its variant versions differ in length this fact is indicatedby an appended ca _circa_ Sixth and last is a synopsis or otherattempt to give briefly such data as may serve to complete theidentificationIllustration of the third item above may be helpful Thus in PrettyPolly on page 7 4aabb indicates a quatrain riming in couplets withfour stresses in each line In Jackaro page 9 3abcb indicates aquatrain riming alternately with three stressed syllables in each lineIn The Kings Daughter page 7 4a3b4c3b indicates a quatrain with onlythe second and fourth lines riming and with four stresses in the firstand third lines and three stresses in the second and fourth In JohnnieCame from Sea page 14 6aa denotes a rimed couplet with six stressesin each lineIt has naturally been difficult at times to decide whether certainstanzas should be counted as couplets or as quatrains half as long Insuch cases the air or tune and other data often rather subtle havebeen employed in making decisions The quatrain form has in uncertaininstances been given the benefit of the doubt Even thus certain minorinconsistencies will perhaps be noted It is hardly necessary to addthat assonance freely occurs in the place of rime and as such it isconsidered throughoutAll attempt to indicate the prevailing metrical unit or foot withinthe line has been frankly given over Iambs dactyls and their ilkreceive scant courtesy from the composer of folksong who without qualmor quaver will stretch one syllable or even an utter silence caesurainto the time of a complete bar while in the next breath he will withequal equanimity huddle a dozen syllables into the same periodConsequently this item even if it could be indicated would have scantdescriptive valueIt is a pleasant duty to acknowledge gratefully the assistance of thosewho have transmitted to our hands many of the songs Mesdames J

her son was the first starShe stood motionless in the garden one hand pressed against her heartwatching him rise above the fields where he had played as a boy wherehe had worked as a young man and she wondered whether he was thinkingof those fields now whether he was thinking of her standing alone inthe April night with her memories whether he was thinking of theverandahed house behind her with its empty rooms and silent halls thatonce upon a time had been his birthplaceHigher still and higher he rose in the southern sky and then when hehad reached his zenith he dropped swiftly down past the dark edge ofthe Earth and disappeared from sight A boy grown up too soon ridinground and round the world on a celestial carousel encased in anairtight metal capsule in an airtight metal chariot _Why dont they leave the stars alone_ she thought _Why dont theyleave the stars to God_ The generals second telegram came early the next morning Explorer XII_doing splendidly Expect to bring your son down sometime tomorrow_She went about her work as usual collecting the eggs and allocatingthem in their cardboard boxes then setting off in the station wagon onher Tuesday morning run She had expected a deluge of questions from hercustomers She was not disappointed Is Terry really way up there allalone Martha Arent you _scared_ Martha I do hope they can gethim back down all right Martha She supposed it must have given themquite a turn to have their egg woman change into a star motherovernightShe hadnt expected the TV interview though and she would have avoidedit if it had been politely possible But what could she do when the lineof cars and trucks pulled into the drive and the technicians got out andstarted setting up their equipment in the backyard What could she saywhen the suave young man came up to her and said We want you to knowthat were all very proud of your boy up there maam and we hopeyoull do us the honor of answering a few questionsMost of the questions concerned Terry as was fitting From the way thesuave young man asked them though she got the impression that he wastrying to prove that her son was just like any other average Americanboy and such just didnt happen to be the case But whenever she openedher mouth to mention say how he used to study till all hours of thenight or how difficult it had been for him to make friends because ofhis shyness or the fact that he had never gone out forfootballwhenever she started to mention any of these things the suaveyoung man was in great haste to interrupt her and to twist her words byrequestioning into a different meaning altogether till Terrysbehavior pattern seemed to coincide with the behavior pattern which thesuave young man apparently considered the norm but which if followedMartha was sure would produce not young men bent on exploring space butyoung men bent on exploring triviaA few of the questions concerned herself Was Terry her only childYes What had happened to her husband He was killed in the KoreanWar What did she think of the new law granting star mothers toppriority on any and all information relating to their sons I thinkits a fine law Its too bad they couldnt have shown similarhumanity toward the war mothers of World War II It was late in the afternoon by the time the TV crew got everythingrepacked into their cars and trucks and made their departure Marthafixed herself a light supper then donned an old suede jacket of Terrysand went out into the garden to wait for the sun to go down Accordingto the time table the general had outlined in his first telegramTerrys first Tuesday night passage wasnt due to occur till 905 Butit seemed only right that she should be outside when the stars startedto come out Presently they did and she watched them wink on one byone in the deepening darkness of the sky Shed never been much of aone for the stars most of her life shed been much too busy on Earth tobother with things celestial She could remember when she was muchyounger and Bill was courting her looking up at the moon sometimes andonce in a while when a star fell making a wish But this wasdifferent It was different because now she had a personal interest inthe sky a new affinity with its myriad inhabitantsAnd how bright they became when you kept looking at them They seemed tocome alive almost pulsing brilliantly down out of the blackness of thenight And they were different colors too she noticed with a startSome of them were blue and some were red others were yellow green orange It grew cold in the April garden and she could see her breath There wasa strange crispness a strange clarity about the night that she hadnever known before She glanced at her watch was astonished to seethat the hands indicated two minutes after nine Where had the timegone Tremulously she faced the southern horizon and saw her Terryappear in his shining chariot riding up the starpebbled path of hisorbit a star in his own right dropping swiftly now down down andout of sight beyond the dark wheeling mass of the Earth She took adeep proud breath realized that she was wildly waving her hand and letit fall slowly

no es unarareza y lo que parece más extraño es que quizá en París es menosraro que en otra parte La razón es sencilla En ese gran invernáculoparisiense las virtudes y los vicios lo mismo que los genios sedesarrollan con una especie de exuberancia y alcanzan el más alto gradode perfección y refinamiento En ninguna parte del mundo se aspiran másacres venenos ni más suaves perfumes En ninguna otra parte tampocola mujer cuando es bella puede serlo más ni cuando es buena puedeser más buenaSe sabe que la marquesa de LatourMesnil aunque había sido de las másbellas y de las mejores no por eso había sido feliz con su marido Noporque fuera un mal hombre pero le gustaba divertirse y no se divertíacon su mujer Por consiguiente la había abandonado en extremo ellahabía llorado mucho en secreto sin que él se hubiese apercibido nipreocupado después había muerto dejando a la marquesa la impresión deque era ella quien había quebrado su existencia Como tenía un almatierna y modesta fue bastante buena para culparse a sí misma por lainsuficiencia de sus méritos y queriendo evitar a su hija un destinosemejante al suyo puso todo su empeño en hacer de ella una personaeminentemente distinguida y tan capaz como puede serlo una mujer demantener el amor en el matrimonio Esta clase de educaciones exquisitasson en París como en otras partes el consuelo de muchas viudas cuyosmaridos viven sin embargoLa señorita Juana Berengére de LatourMesnil había recibido felizmentede la naturaleza todos los dones que podían favorecer la ambición de unamadre Su espíritu naturalmente predispuesto y activo prestosemaravillosamente desde la infancia a recibir el delicado cultivomaternal Después maestros selectos y cuidadosamente vigiladosacabaron de iniciarla en las nociones gustos y conocimientos que hacenel ornato intelectual de una mujer En cuanto a la educación moral sumadre fue su único maestro quien por su solo contacto y la pureza de supropia inspiración hizo de ella una criatura tan sana como ella mismaA los méritos que acabamos de indicar la señorita de LatourMesnilhabía tenido el talento de añadir otro de cuya influencia no es dado ala naturaleza humana libertarse era extremadamente linda tenía eltalle y la gracia de una ninfa con una fisonomía un poco selvática ypudores de niña Su superioridad de la que se daba alguna cuenta laturbaba sentíase a la vez orgullosa y tímida En sus conversaciones asolas con su madre era expansiva entusiasta y hasta un pococharlatana en público permanecía inmóvil y silenciosa como una bellaflor pero sus magníficos ojos hablaban por ellaDespués de haber llevado a cabo con ayuda de Dios aquella obraencantadora la marquesa habría deseado descansar y ciertamente quetenía derecho a hacerlo Pero el descanso no se hizo para las madres yla marquesa no tardó en verse agitada por un estado febril quecomprenderán muchas de nuestras lectoras Juana Berengére habíacumplido ya diez y nueve años y tenía que buscarle un marido Es éstasin contradicción una hora solemne para las madres Que se sientan muyconturbadas no nos extraña extrañaríamos que no lo estuvieran aún másPero si alguna madre debió sentir en aquellos momentos críticos mortalesangustias es aquella que como la señora de LatourMesnil había tenidola virtud de educar bien a su hija aquella en que modelando con susmanos puras a aquella joven había conseguido pulir purificar yespiritualizar sus instintos Esa madre tiene que decirse que unacriatura así dirigida y tan perfecta está separada de ciertos hombresque frecuentan nuestras calles y aún nuestros salones por un abismointelectual y moral tan profundo como el que la separa de un negro deZululand Tiene indispensablemente que decirse que entregar a su hijaa uno de esos hombres es entregarla a la peor de las alianzas ydegradar indignamente su propia obra Su responsabilidad en semejantemateria es tanto más pesada cuanto que las jóvenes francesas connuestras costumbres se hallan completamente imposibilitadas para tomaruna parte seria en la elección de un maridoCon pocas excepciones ellas aman desde un principio candorosamente aaquel que le designan por esposo porque lo adornan con todas las buenascualidades que deseanEra pues con demasiada razón que la señora LatourMesnil se preocupabade casar bien a su hija Pero lo que una mujer honesta y espiritual comoella entendía por casar bien a su hija sería difícil concebirlo si nose viese todos los días que las experiencias personales más dolorosasel amor maternal más verdadero el espíritu más delicado y aun lapiedad más acendrada no bastan para enseñar a una madre la diferenciaque existe entre un bello casamiento y uno bueno Puede al mismo tiempohacerse lo uno y lo otro y es seguramente lo mejor pero hay quecuidarse mucho porque sucede con frecuencia que un bello casamiento estodo lo contrario de un buen casamiento porque deslumbra y porconsiguiente encegueceUn bello casamiento para una joven que como la señorita LatourMesnildebía llevar quinientos mil francos de dote constituye tres o cuatromillones Verdaderamente parece que una mujer puede ser feliz conmenos Pero en fin confesarase que es difícil rehusar cuatro millonescuando se ofrecen Así pues en 1870 el barón Maurescamp ofreció seis osiete a la señorita LatourMesnil por intermedio de una amiga que habíasido su querida pero que era una buena mujerLa señora LatourMesnil contestó con la dignidad conveniente que laproposición la lisonjeaba y que sólo pedía algunos días parareflexionar y tomar informes Pero así que la embajadora hubo salidosalió corriendo en busca de su hija la

expect to get out of this oneShe doesnt embroider badly your highness pray look yourself Shecan be put to the embroideriesnot to the ground but to thetrimmings This is for the toilet table of Madame la ComtesseThe noble lady who could hardly see being shortsighted from herbirth examined the embroidery frame so closely that the tip of hernose grazed the clothThats not bad she said Come here little girlThe little girl advanced and the countess inspected her as minutelyas she had done the embroideryHow pretty she is Whats your nameMavraThe word came like a breath from the rosy lipsYou must speak louder if you want us to hear you said the headladys maid angrilyMavra turned her large blue startled eyes toward her let them dropand said nothingSit down to your work said the countess amused at her new toyWith a quick graceful movement the young girl resumed her seat onthe wooden chair and the needle firmly held between her agilefingers went in and out of the stuff with that short sharp noisethat stimulates the action of the handThats right you may go on said the countess her nerves irritatedby the regularity of the movementThen turning her back upon the young girl and trailing the heavysumptuous folds of her dressinggown along the carefullywashedpinewood floor she disappeared through the door which wasrespectfully closed after her by the head ladys maid The countessan accomplished housemistress made a practice of paying a dailyvisit to this room which was reserved for the women of her serviceMavra was left alone in the workroom a large welllighted chamberfurnished simply with tables and chairs for the use of theinnumerable women and girls invariably attached to the service ofthose noble ladies who knew so well how to maintain their rank in thatblessed time of serfdom At this hour the workroom was empty Some ofthe women were washing others ironing some cleaning and turningupside down everything in the private apartment the countess had justleft The young peasant girl with her needle uplifted rested herruddy hand upon the edge of the frame and looked around herWhat multitudes of embroidered gowns with their rich lace trimmingshung there on the wall waiting some slight repairswhat endlesspetticoats with their ornamented flounces all freshly ironed on cordsalong the huge roomwhat countless lace caps worn hardly an hourpinned to a pincushion as large as a pillow used only for thispurpose and there in a basket on the corner of the table what pilesof cambric chemises delicately piped and pleated trimmed withValenciennes lace and ornamented with bright ribbons And all thisfor one person without counting the silk stockings in that otherbasket and the rings by dozens worn by the countess on her thinfingers In this world of living beings under Gods heaven whatimportance given to one person who needed so many other persons toserve her And how the nothingness of these was made more emphatic bythe dominance of that Mavra sat wonderstricken The head ladysmaid coming into the room found her still in a state of stupefactionstupefied above all at having made these reflectionsWell you are lucky she said to her with a pleased look Ourcountess took a fancy to you at the first glance you are now on thelist of embroiderers You may thank God for it It is not often thecountess takes a fancy like that at first sightIs she then unkind innocently inquired the girlUnkind Oh no capricious like all mistresses but the kindest ladyin the world and generous Besides this is a rich house nothing iscountednothing at all This is better than your village continuedDacka proud of belonging to such noble masters and desirous toimpress on the mind of the simple peasant girl the importance anddignity of the functions she was promoted toIt is more beautiful replied Mavra bending intently over her workIt was lucky they taught you to embroider else you would have beensent to the poultryyard to feed the cocks and hens and look after thecalves How did you learnMy mother taught me she was formerly in service she was a_dvorovaia_ in the time of the late countess She married a peasantAh said Dacka I thought your manners were not quite those of apeasant girl if your mother was in service thats another thingCome take a cup of coffee with me Prepare the coffeepot and makehaste before the others come I cant ask every one you understandTo Mavra there was but little difference between the _isba_ of herfather and the workroom of the seignorial mansion Here as thereher life was spent in assiduous work from sunrise to sunset Thereher mother an austere somber woman like most village matrons towhom life had proved no light matter here the ladys maid oftengrumbling but at times kind and even condescending The chiefdifference between the two modes of life consisted in the dailyvisits of the countess who generally said nothing but passed with asolemn air through this roomful of silent awestricken women But onething was

Slender of waist and hipstalwart of shoulder some seventytwo inches of sinewy height he was thefigure of the typical cattleman His eyes were deepset and farseeinghis lean brown face roughened by outdoor life was austere and resolutein expressionThe train had barely stopped when a boyishlooking lithelimbed youthleaped from the platform The blue serge suit and checked cap he wore didnot disguise the fact that his working clotheshis field uniformwerethose of a cowpuncher A few quick strides brought him to the man inwaitingHoped youd be on hand to meet me Kurt so I could get out to the ranchtonight Hows things up thereJust the same as they were when you left Jo said the one addressed inwhimsical tone Youve only been gone ten days you knowYou dont say ejaculated Jo following his companion through the depotCity does age a manGone are the days of The Golden West when spurred and revolvered horsemensprang into saddles and loped out of the brush or skimmed over mattedmesquite on a buckboard drawn by swiftrunning poniesA long racing car was waiting for the two men and they were soon speedingover a hardbaked steellike road that led up around and over thefarflung undulating hills before themI thought Kingdons best car was worth a million bucks before I went toChicago said Joe critically but it sure would look like a twospot onMichigan AvenueThe other smiled indulgentlyI trust everything out here wont suffer by comparison with the thingsyou have seen during your journeyI should say not It all looks pretty good to me I wouldnt change thistrail to Top Hill for all the boulevards and asphalts of Chicago and ourranchhouse has got any hotel I saw skinned by a mile for real living Ihad _some_ vacation though and it was mighty good of you to send me onthat business I tended to it all right as soon as I got there before Itook in any of the sights or let loose for my time I wont forget it inyou Kurtto send me instead of going yourselfWell Jo youd been cooped up here a long time for a youngster saidKurt laying a hand on the younger mans shoulder and I saw you wererarin for a little recreation I thought you would settle down to a hardseasons work if you let out a little I received your report and checkYou managed that cattle deal very shrewdly Kingdon was much pleasedThats encouraging but I feel better at pleasing you KurtThey rode on without talking for some distance From time to time Kurtcast a searching glance at the young man whose eyes shone with a strangesteady lighta look of exaltation and despair combinedThe car slowed down to conversational needWhat tis Jo Did you come to grief when you let loose Let go allyour earnings in one big game without any wayslips or did you have sucha round of theatres cabarets and nightlife that you are feeling thedepression of reactionYoure guessing wrong replied Jo quietly I know thats the way mostof us grassfed men act when we get a chance at white lights I had abeautiful time that was as short and as far off as a pleasant dream As Isaid I started out for a regular time but I didnt take a drink ortouch a card orsay Kurt I think Id like to tell you about it I knowyou wont kid me for Im in earnest andin troubleAnother quick glance at the blue eyes usually so brimming with sparklinggayety but which were now serious and despondent brought a transformationto the grim face of the older man making him look kinder warmeryoungerShoot Jo was all he said but the lad felt that the crude word wasbacked up by a real interest a readiness to hear and adviseSome one gave me a steer to a dance place he began Hurricane Hall Ithink it was called and as soon as I looked in I saw it was tougher eventhan a cowboys cravings called for but I sort of stuck around until Ihappened to look at one of the tables over in a corneredoff place Alittle girl was sitting there alone different from all those otherfiercelooking ones who were dressed in high water skirts and with waiststhat looked as if they needed inside blinds to get byShe had on a white dress a real dressnot a skirt and bibthat coveredher and without much fixings Her hair was drawn back plain like a kidsI knew

401Suspended Judgment 425THE ART OF DISCRIMINATIONThe world divides itself into people who can discriminate andpeople who cannot discriminate This is the ultimate test ofsensitiveness and sensitiveness alone separates us and unites usWe all create or have created for us by the fatality of ourtemperament a unique and individual universe It is only bybringing into light the most secret and subtle elements of thisselfcontained system of things that we can find out where our lonelyorbits touchLike all primordial aspects of life the situation is doubleedged andcontradictoryThe further we emphasise and drag forth out of their reluctanttwilight the lurking attractions and antipathies of our destiny thenearer at once and the more obscure we find ourselves growing tothose about usAnd the wisdom of the difficult game we are called upon to playlies in just this very antinomyin just this very contradictionthatto make ourselves better understood we have to emphasise ourdifferences and to touch the universe of our friend we have to travelaway from him on a curve of free skyThe cultivation of what in us is lonely and unique creates ofnecessity a perpetual series of shocks and jars The unruffled nervesof the lower animals become enviable and we fall into moods ofmalicious reaction and vindictive recoil And yetfor Nature makesuse even of what is named evil to pursue her cherished endsthevery betrayal of our outraged feelings produces no unpleasant effectupon the minds of others They know us better so and the sense ofpower in them is delicately gratified by the spectacle of ourweakness even as ours is by the spectacle of theirsThe art of discrimination is the art of letting oneself go more andmore wilfully letting oneself go along the lines of ones uniquepredilections letting oneself go with the resolute push of theinquisitive intellect the intellect whose rôle it is to registerwithjust all the preciseness it mayevery one of the little discoveries wemake on the long roadThe difference between interesting and uninteresting critics of lifeis just the difference between those who have refused to letthemselves be thus carried away on the stream of their fatality andthose who have not refused That is why in all the really arrestingwriters and artists there is something equivocal and disturbing whenwe come to know themGenius itself in the last analysis is not so much the possession ofunusual visionsome of the most powerful geniuses have a visionquite mediocre and bluntas the possession of a certain demonicdrivingforce which pushes them on to be themselves in all thefatal narrowness and obstinacy it may be of their personaltemperamentThe art of discrimination is precisely what such characters are bornwith hence the almost savage manner in which they resent thebeckonings of alien appeals appeals which would draw them out oftheir preordained trackOne can see in the passionate preference displayed by men of realpower for the society of simple and even truculent persons over thatof those who are urbanely plastic and versatile how true this isBetween their own creative wilfulness and the more static obstinacyof these former there is an instinctive bond whereas the tolerantand colourless cleverness of the latter disconcerts and puzzles themThis is whyled by a profound instinctthe wisest men of geniusselect for their female companions the most surprising types andsubmit to the most wretched tyranny Their craving for the sureground of unequivocal naturalness helps them to put up with whatelse were quite intolerableFor it is the typical modern person of normal culture and playfulexpansiveness who is the mortal enemy of the art of discriminationSuch a persons shallow cleverness and conventional goodtemper ismore withering to

Society of University College London217235PREFACEThe value of Knowledge and Character is duly impressed upon usOf the value of Freedom we are told so much that we have come toregard it as an end in itself instead of only a means or necessarycondition But Beauty we are halfinclined to connect with theeffeminate Poetry Music and Literature are under suspicion withthe average English schoolboy whose love of manliness he willshare with nothing else Yet love of Beauty persists in spite of alldiscouragement and will not be suppressed Natural Beautyespecially insists on a place in our affections derived originallyfrom Love and essentially and inseparably connected with itNatural Beauty acknowledges supremacy to Love alone And itdeserves our generous recognition for it is wholesome andrefreshing for our soulsThe acute observation and telling description of Natural Beauty is atleast as necessary for the enjoyment of life as the pursuit of NaturalScience to which so much attention is paid For the concern of theformer is the character and of the latter only the cause of naturalphenomena and of the two character is the more important It isindeed high time that we Englishmen were more awake than we areto the value of Natural Beauty For we are born lovers of Natureand no more poetic race than ourselves exists Our country at its beston an early summer day is the loveliest little home in all the worldAnd we go out from this island home of ours to every land We haveunrivalled opportunities therefore of seeing innumerable types ofnatural objects By observing Nature in so many different aspectsand by comparing our impressions with one another we ought tounderstand Nature better than any other race And by entering morereadily into communion with her we better than others shouldrealise the Beauty she possessesI am conscious of having myself made most inadequate use of thesplendid opportunities my travels afforded me of seeing the Beautyof Nature So I am all the more anxious that those following afterme should not by like omission commit the same sin againstthemselves and against our country We owe it to ourselves and tomankind to give full rein to our instinctive love of Natural Beautyand to train and refine every inclination and capacity we have forappreciating it till we are able to see all those finer glories of whichwe now discern only the first faint glowAnd if any other country excel us in appreciation then it behoves usto brace ourselves up to emulate and surpass that country and learnhow to understand Nature better and see more Beauty For in love ofNatural Beauty and in capacity for communicating that loveEngland ought to be preeminent She above every other countryshould come nearest to the Heart of Nature F E Y_June_ 1921INTRODUCTIONTown children let loose in a meadow dash with shouts of joy topluck the nearest flowers They ravenously pick handfuls andarmfuls as if they could never have enough They are exactly likeanimals in the desert rushing to water They are satisfying a greatthirst in their soulsthe thirst for Beauty Some of us remember tooour first sight of snowy mountains in the Alps or in the HimalayaWe recall how our spirits _leaped_ to meet the mountains how wegasped in wonder and greedily feasted our eyes on the gloriousspectacle In such cases as these there is something in the naturalobject that appeals to something in us Something in us rushes out tomeet the something in the natural object A responsive chord isstruck A relationship is established We and the natural object comeinto harmony with one another We have recognised in the flowerthe mountain the landscape something that is the same as what is inourselves We fall in love with the natural object A marriage takesplace Our soul is wedded to the soul of the natural object And atthe very moment of wedding Beauty is born It springs from Lovejust as Love itself originally sprang from the wedding of primitiveman and womanIn this process all will depend upon the mood If we are not in themood for it we are unreceptive of Natures impressions and we areirresponsive We do not come into touch with Nature Consequentlywe see no Beauty But if we

the parodist has usually keenly enjoyed thebook of which he sits down to make a fool_ R L STEVENSONPREFATORY NOTEIIF WINTER COMES placed its author not only as a Best Seller but asone of the Great Novelists of today Not always are those royaltiescrowned by those laurels Tarzan of if I remember rightly the Apesnever won the double event And I am told by superior people thatintellectually Miss Ethel M Dell takes the hindmost Personally Ifound If Winter Comes a most sympathetic and interesting book Ithink there are only two points on which I should be disposed toquarrel with it Firstly though Nona is a real creation Effie is anincredible piece of novelists machinery Secondly I detest theutilization of the Great War at the present day for the purposes offiction It is altogether too easy It buys the emotional situationreadymade It asks the readers memory to supplement the writersimagination And this is not my sole objection to its useIII wonder if I might without being thought blasphemous say a word ortwo about the Great Novelists of today They have certain points ofresemblance I do not think that overstates itThey have the same little ways They divide their chapters intosections and number the sections in plain figures This is quitepontifical and lends your story the majesty of an Act of ParliamentThe first man who did it was a genius And the other seven hundred andeighteen showed judgment I propose to use it myself when I rememberitThen there is the threedot trick At one time those dots indicated anomission Today some of our best use them as an equivalent of thecinema fadeout Those dots prolong the effect of a word or sentencethey lend it an afterglow You see what I mean Afterglow One must mention too the staccato stylethe style that makes theprinter send the boy out for another hundred gross of fullstops Allthe Great Novelists of today use it more or lessIIILet us see what can be done with it Here for instance is a sentencewhich was taught me in the nursery for its alleged tonguetwistingquality She stood at the door of Burgesss fishsauce shop Strandwelcoming him in In that form it is not impressive but now notewhat one of these staccato merchants might make of itAcross the roaring Strand red and green lights spelling on the gloomBURGESSS FISHSAU A moments darkness and again BURGESSSFISHSAU Like that Truncated The final CE not functioning Hehad to look though it hurt him Hurt horrible Damnably And his eyestraveled downwardSuddenly and beyond hope she Isobelatthelast Standing in thedoorway White on black Slim Willowy Incomparable IncommensurableShe saw him and her lips rounded to a call He sensed it through thetraffic Come in Calling and calling Come inCome inOut of the rainIt is like a plaintive hymn sung to a banjo accompanimentIncidentally it illustrates another favorite trick of thesegentlementhe introduction of a commonplace or even jarring detailinto a romantic scene in order to increase its appearance of realityIt is quite a good trickIVAnd sometimes not every day but sometimes one gets a little wearyeven of the best tricks Need the author depend quite so much on theprinter for his effects Scenes and passages in a book seem to bestanding very near the edge and the wanton thought occurs to one thata little shove would send them over In fact one gets irritable Andthen anything bad may happen This

Through the Malay Archipelago BY EMILY RICHINGS Author of Sir Walters Wife In Chaucers Maytime c LONDON HENRY J DRANE LIMITED DANEGELD HOUSE 82A FARRINGDON STREET EC O hundred shores of happy climes How swiftly streamed ye by the bark At times the whole sea burnedat times With wakes of fire we tore the dark New stars all night above the brim Of waters lightened into view They climbed as quickly for the rim Changed every moment as we flew We came to warmer waves and deep Across the boundless East we drove Where those long swells of breaker sweep The nutmeg rocks and isles of clove For one fair Vision ever fled Down the waste waters day and night And still we followed where she led In hope to gain upon her flight CONTENTS Prologue JAVA Batavia and WeltevredenBuitenzorgSoekaboemi and

enchanted gates of the Far East whichswing open at the palmgirt shores of Ceylon enters upon a new rangeof thought and feeling The first sight of tropical scenery generallyawakens a passionate desire for further experiences of the vastArchipelago in the Southern Seas which girdles the Equator with anemerald zone Lured onward by the scented breeze in that eternal searchfor perfection destined to remain unsatisfied where every step marks ahigher ideal than the one already attained the pilgrim pursues hisendless quest for human aspiration has never yet touched the goal ofdesires and dreams The cocoanut woods of Ceylon and her equatorialvegetation lead fancy further afield for the glassy straits of Malaccabeckon the wanderer down their watery highways to mysterious Javawhere vast forests of waving palms blue chains of volcanic mountainsand mighty ruins of a vanished civilisation loom before theimagination and invest the tropical paradise with ideal attractionsThe island seven hundred miles long and described by Marianne Northas one magnificent garden of tropical luxuriance has not yet becomea popular resort of the average tourist but though lacking some ofthose comforts and luxuries found under the British flag it offersmany compensations in the wealth of beauty and interest afforded byscenery architecture and people The two days passage from Singaporelies through a green chain of countless islets once the refuge ofthose pirates who thronged the Southern seas until suppressed byEuropean power The cliffs of Banka honeycombed with tin quarries andthe flat green shores of Eastern Sumatra stretching away to the purplemountains of the interior flank the silvery straits populous withnative _proas_ coasting steamers _sampans_ and the hollowed log ordugout which serves as the Malayan canoe Patched sails of scarletand yellow shaped like bats wings suggest gigantic butterfliesafloat upon the tranquil sea The red roofs of whitewashed towns andthe tall shafts of white lighthouses emphasise the rich verdure betweenthe silvery azure of sky and water The little voyage ends at TandjonPriok nine miles from Batavia for a volcanic eruption of Mount Salakin 1699 filled up the ancient harbour and necessitated the removal ofshipping to a deep bay as the old city was landed high and dry throughthe mass of mud lava and volcanic sand which dammed up the lowerreaches of the Tjiligong river and destroyed connection with the seaThe present model harbour erected at tremendous cost permits ships ofheavy burden to discharge passengers and cargo with comfort and safetyat a long wharf without that unpleasant interlude of rocking _sampans_and reckless boatmen common to Eastern travel A background of bluepeaks and clustering palms rises beyond the long line of quays andbreakwaters flanked by the railway and a wealth of tropical scenerycovers a marshy plain with riotous luxuriance No Europeans live eitherin Tandjon Priok or Old Batavia and the locality was known for twocenturies as the European graveyard Flourishing Arab and Chinese_campongs_ or settlements appear immune from the terrible Java feverwhich haunts the morasses of the coast and the industrial Celestialwho absorbs so much of Oriental commerce possesses an almostsuperhuman imperviousness to climatic dangersIn the readjustment of power after the Fall of Napoleon Java invadedby England in 1811 after a five years interval of British rule underthe enlightened policy of Sir Stamford Raffles was restored to theThrone of Holland The supremacy of the Dutch East India Company

spending a brief vacation thereThe outcome was a series of articles in the Straits Times and afterthey appeared so many applications were made for reprints that we wereencouraged to issue the articles in handy form for the information ofthose who intend to visit the neighbouring Dutch Colony There was nopretension to write an exhaustive guidebook to the Island but theoriginal articles were revised and amplified and the chapters havebeen arranged to enable the visitor to follow a given route through theIsland from west to east within the compass of a fortnight or threeweeksFor liberty to reproduce some of the larger pictures we are indebtedto Mr George P Lewis of O Kurkdjian Sourabaya whose photographsof Tosari and the volcanic region of Eastern Java form one of thefinest and most

HOTELS AND TRAVELLING FACILITIES 87First Impressions of BataviaWhen consideration is given to the fact that Java is only two dayssteaming from Singapore that it is more beautiful in some respects thanJapan that it contains marvellous archaeological remains over 1100years old and that its hill resorts form ideal resting places for thejaded European it is strange that few of the British residentsthroughout the Far East or travellers East and West have visited theDutch ColonyThe average Britisher weaving the web of empire passes like a shuttlein the loom from London to Yokohama from Hongkong to Marseilles Hethinks imperially in that he thinks no other nation has Colonies worthseeing British port succeeds British port on the hackneyed line oftravel and he may be excused if he forgets that these convenientcalling places these links of Empire can have possible rivals underforeign flagsThere is no excuse for the prevailing ignorance of the NetherlandIndies We do not wish it to be inferred that we imagine we havediscovered Java as Dickens is said to have discovered Italy but webelieve we are justified in saying that few have realised thepossibilities of Java as a health resort and the attractions it has tooffer for a holidayMiss Marianne North celebrated as painter and authoress and the rivalof Miss Mary Kingsley and Mrs Bishop Isabella Bird as a traveller inunfrequented quarters of the globe has described the island as onemagnificent garden surpassing Brazil Jamaica and other countriesvisited by her and possessing the grandest of volcanoes and otherfamous travellers have written in terms of the highest praise of itsnatural beautiesIts accessibility is one of its recommendations to the holiday makerThe voyage across the Equator from Singapore is a smooth one for themost part through narrow straits and seldom out of sight of islands cladwith verdure down to the waters edgeExcellent accommodation is provided by the Rival Dutch Mail

Importance of the Proofreader A Paper read before the Club of Odd Volumes in Boston by JOHN WILSON CAMBRIDGE The University Press JOHN WILSON SON INC 1901 _This Paper upon The Importance of the Proofreader is presented with the compliments of the University Press and the Author The subject is one which the Author has endeavored to emphasize during his fifty years service in the printing business and one for which the University Press has ever endeavored to stand_ _1922_ _John Wilson author of this Paper and formerly proprietor of The University Press died in 1903 His successors have now the pleasure of making a reprint believing the subject to be of as much interest today as it was twenty years ago_THE IMPORTANCE OF THE PROOFREADERIn preparing a work for the press the author the compositor and theproofreader are the three factors that enter into its construction Wewill however treat more especially of the lastnamed in connectionwith the firstThe true proofreader should not only be a practical printer but heshould be a lover of literature familiar with the classics of alllanguages with the results accomplished by science and indeed withevery subject that concerns his fellowmen When an author prepares awork for the press he often uses many abbreviations his capitalizationis frequently incorrect his spelling occasionally not in accordanceeither with Worcester or Webster his punctuation inaccurate hishistorical and biographical statements careless and his chirographyfrequently very bad In such cases the proofreader is sorely triedand unless he is a man of much patience well versed in the art ofdeciphering incorrigible manuscripts and supplying all theirdeficiencies his last state will to speak mildly be worse thanhis firstIt is said that when Charles Dudley Warner was the editor of theHartford Press back in the sixties arousing the patriotism of theState with his vigorous appeals one of the typesetters came in fromthe composingroom and planting himself before the editor saidWell Mr Warner Ive decided to enlist in the army With mingledsensations of pride and responsibility Mr Warner replied encouraginglythat he was glad to see the man felt the call of duty Oh it isntthat said the truthful compositor but Id rather be shot than tryto set any more of your damned copyAs an example of what I mean by bad MS I take the liberty of showingyou one page of a work which unfortunately I had agreed to print Thisis a sample of one half of a work of 1000 MS pages When the authoroffered me a few years later another work similarly prepared Ideclined with thanks to accept itIllustration Handwritten copyAnother illustration of careless writing I copy from Harpers YoungPeople A Massachusetts clergyman nearly got himself into a peck of trouble because of the bad quality of his handwriting It was more than a century ago that he had occasion to address a letter to the General Court of Massachusetts upon some subject of great interest at that time When the letter was received the court ordered the clerk to read it and were filled with wrath at what appeared to be these words in opening I address you not as magistrates but as Indian devils What they cried Read that over again How does he address us Not as magistrates but as Indian devils repeated the clerk Thats what he says The letter was passed around and the judges were by no means pleased to see that the clerk had apparently made no mistake Very angry at what they believed to be an insult the judges passed a vote of censure upon the clergyman and wrote to him demanding an apology He came before them in person when it turned out that where the judges had read Indian devils he had written individuals which of course made an apology unnecessary but the reverend gentleman was admonished to improve his handwriting if he wished to keep out of troubleStill another case of blind copy furnished to the printer resultedin making the title Pilgrims Progress to appear in cold type asReligious RoguesThe Philadelphia Press relates the following Recently an editor ofa morning paper wrote an article on the Boer question and headed itThe British Army won a Victory that was Remarkable To his surprise hefound that the printer made it read The British Army won a Victory_That was Remarkable_ The infuriated editor told his foreman that hemust be in _sympathy_ with the BoersMany intelligent persons regard the duty of a proofreader as consistingin simply following his copy and in securing the proper spelling ofwords If this however were the sum of his accomplishments many anauthor would come to grief Recently an author quoting the expressionGod tempers the wind to the shorn lamb attributed it to the Biblebut the proofreader queried the authority and wrote in the marginSterne which the author had the good sense gratefully to acceptYoung men and women recent graduates of colleges have sometimesrequested me to introduce them to publishers desiring to issuetranslations of certain books in foreign languages but knowing howsuperficial often is the linguistic attainment of the college graduatemaking him incapable of rendering correctly into English the spirit andthe letter of a foreign tongue I have

Published in 1916_ TO H L HUTTON OF MERCHANT TAYLORS SCHOOLINTRODUCTIONBYG K CHESTERTONWhen I first met Belloc he remarked to the friend who introduced us thathe was in low spirits His low spirits were and are much more uproariousand enlivening than anybody elses high spirits He talked into thenight and left behind in it a glowing track of good things When I havesaid that I mean things that are good and certainly not merely _bonsmots_ I have said all that can be said in the most serious aspect aboutthe man who has made the greatest fight for good things of all the menof my timeWe met between a little Soho paper shop and a little Soho restauranthis arms and pockets were stuffed with French Nationalist and FrenchAtheist newspapers He wore a straw hat shading his eyes which are likea sailors and emphasizing his Napoleonic chin He was talking aboutKing John who he positively assured me was _not_ as was oftenasserted the best king that ever reigned in England Still there wereallowances to be made for him I mean King John not Belloc He hadbeen Regent said Belloc with forbearance and in all the Middle Agesthere is no example of a successful Regent I for one had not comeprovided with any successful Regents with whom to counter thisgeneralization and when I came to think of it it was quite true Ihave noticed the same thing about many other sweeping remarks comingfrom the same sourceThe little restaurant to which we went had already become a haunt forthree or four of us who held strong but unfashionable views about theSouth African War which was then in its earliest prestige Most of uswere writing on the _Speaker_ edited by Mr J L Hammond with anindependence of idealism to which I shall always think that we owe muchof the cleaner political criticism of today and Belloc himself waswriting in it studies of what proved to be the most baffling irony Tounderstand how his Latin mastery especially of historic and foreignthings made him a leader it is necessary to appreciate something ofthe peculiar position of that isolated group of ProBoers We were aminority in a minority Those who honestly disapproved of the Transvaaladventure were few in England but even of these few a great numberprobably the majority opposed it for reasons not only different butalmost contrary to ours Many were Pacifists most were Cobdenites thewisest were healthy but hazy Liberals who rightly felt the tradition ofGladstone to be a safer thing than the opportunism of the LiberalImperialist But we might in one very real sense be more strictlydescribed as ProBoers That is we were much more insistent that theBoers were right in fighting than that the English were wrong infighting We disliked cosmopolitan peace almost as much as cosmopolitanwar and it was hard to say whether we more despised those who praisedwar for the gain of money or those who blamed war for the loss of itNot a few men then young were already predisposed to this attitude MrF Y Eccles a French scholar and critic of an authority perhaps toofine for fame was in possession of the whole classical case againstsuch piratical Prussianism Mr Hammond himself with a carefulmagnanimity always attacked Imperialism as a false religion and notmerely as a conscious fraud and I myself had my own hobby of theromance of small things including small commonwealths But to all theseBelloc entered like a man armed and as with a clang of iron He broughtwith him news from the fronts of history that French arts could againbe rescued by French arms that cynical Imperialism not only should befought but could be fought and was being fought that the streetfighting which was for me a fairytale of the future was for him a factof the past There were many other uses of his genius but I am speakingof this first effect of it upon our instinctive and sometimes gropingideals What he brought into our dream was this Roman appetite forreality and for reason in action and when he came into the door thereentered with him the smell of dangerThere was in him another element of importance which clarified itself inthis crisis It was no small part of the irony in the man that differentthings strove against each other in him and these not merely in thecommon human sense of good against evil but one good thing againstanother The unique attitude of the little group was summed up in himsupremely in this that he did and does humanly and heartily loveEngland not as a duty but as a pleasure and almost an indulgence butthat he hated as heartily what England seemed trying to become Out ofthis appeared in his poetry a sort of fierce doubt or doublemindednesswhich cannot exist in vague and homogeneous Englishmen something thatoccasionally amounted to a mixture of loving and loathing It is markedfor instance in the fine break in the middle of the happy song of_cameraderie_ called To the Balliol Men Still in South Africa I have said it

THE STORY OF THE PROPHET JONASWilliam Tyndale 1531 translationSpelling has been modernized but nothing else alteredNoteThis file is the public domain version of Project Gutenberg eBook 12076The first ChapterThe word of the Lord came unto the prophet Jonas the son ofAmithai saying rise and get thee to Ninevehh that great city and preachunto them how that their wickedness is come up before meAnd Jonas made him ready to flee to Tharsis from the presenceof the Lord and gat him down to Joppa and found there a ship ready togo to Tharsis and paid his fare and went aboard to go with them toTharsis from the presence of the LordBut the Lord hurled a great wind in to the sea so that therewas a mighty tempest in the sea insomuch that the ship was like to goin pieces And the mariners were afraid and cried every man unto hisgod and cast out the goods that were in the ship in to the sea tolighten it of them But Jonas gat him under the hatches and laid himdown and slumbered And the master of the ship came to him and saidunto him why slumberest thou up and call unto thy god that God maythink on us that we perish notAnd they said one to another come and let us cast lots toknow for whose cause we are thus troubled And they cast lots And thelot fell upon JonasThen they said unto him tell us for whose cause we are thustroubled what is thine occupation whence comest thou how is thycountry called and of what nation art thouAnd he answered them I am an Hebrew and the Lord God ofheaven which made both sea and dry land I fear Then were the menexceedingly afraid and said unto him why didst thou so For they knewthat he was fled from the presence of the Lord because he had toldthemThen they unto him what shall we do unto thee that the seamay cease from troubling us For the sea wrought and was troublous Andhe answered them take me and cast me in to the sea and so shall itlet you be in rest for I wot it is for my sake that this greattempest is come upon you Nevertheless the men assayed with rowing tobring the ship to land but it would not be because the sea so wroughtand was so troublous against them Wherefore they cried unto the Lordand said O Lord let us not perish for this mans death neither layinnocent blood unto our charge for thou Lord even as thy pleasure wasso thou hast doneAnd then they took Jonas and cast him into the sea and thesea left raging And the men feared the Lord exceedingly andsacrificed sacrifice unto the Lord and vowed vowsThe second ChapterBut the Lord prepared a great fish to swallow up Jonas And sowas Jonas in the bowels of the fish three days and three nights AndJonas prayed unto the Lord his God out of the bowels of the fishAnd he said in my tribulation I called unto the Lord and heanswered me out of the belly of hell I cried and thou heardest myvoice For thou hadst cast me down deep in the midst of the sea and theflood compassed me about and all thy waves and rolls of water wentover me and I thought that I had been cast away out of thy sight ButI will yet again look toward thy holy temple The water compassed meeven unto the very soul of me the deep lay about me and the weedswere wrapped about mine head And I went down unto the bottom of thehills and was barred in with earth on every side for ever And yetthou Lord my God broughtest up my life again out of corruption When mysoul fainted in me I thought on the Lord and my prayer came in untothee even into thy holy temple They that observe vain vanities haveforsaken him that was merciful unto them But I will sacrifice untothee with the voice of thanksgiving and will pay that that I havevowed that saving cometh of the LordAnd the Lord spake unto the fish and it cast out Jonas againupon the dry landThe third ChapterThen came the word of the Lord unto Jonas again saying up andget thee to Nineveh that great city and preach unto them the preachingwhich I bade thee And he arose and went to Nineveh at the Lordscommandment Nineveh was a great city unto God containing three daysjourneyAnd Jonas went to and entered in to the city even a daysjourney and cried saying There shall not pass forty days but Ninevehshall be overthrownAnd the people of Nineveh believed God and proclaimed fastingand arrayed themselves in sackcloth as well the great as the small ofthemAnd the tidings came unto the king of Nineveh which arose outof his seat and did his apparel off and put on sackcloth and sat himdown in ashes And it was cried and commanded in Nineveh by theauthority of the king and of his lords saying see that neither man orbeast ox or sheep taste ought at all and that they neither feed ordrink waterAnd they put on sackcloth both man and beast and cried untoGod mightily and turned every man his wicked way and from doing wrongin which they were accustomed saying who can tell whether God willturn and repent and cease from his fierce wrath that we perish notAnd when God saw their works how they turned from their wicked wayshe repented of the evil which he said he would do unto them and did itnotThe fourth ChapterWherefore Jonas was sore discontent and angry And he prayedunto the Lord and said O Lord was not this my saying when I was yetin my country And therefore I hasted rather to flee to Tharsis for Iknew well enough that thou wast a merciful god full of compassionlong ere thou be angry and of great mercy and repentest when thou artcome to take

to the upper stories and roofs in the desperateeffort to escape their doom of hundreds of houses crashing down thesurging river carrying men women and children beyond the hope ofrescue of a night of horrors multitudes dying amid the awful terrorsof flood and fire plunged under the wild torrent buried in mire orconsumed in devouring flames of helpless creatures rending the air withpitiful screams crying aloud in their agony imploring help withoutstretched hands and finally sinking with no one to save themWhole families were lost and obliterated perishing together in a waterytomb or ground to atoms by floating timbers and wreck households weresuddenly bereftsome of fathers others of mothers others of childrenneighbors and friends frantic efforts were made to rescue the victimsof the flood

peril to save those of their loved onesThe terrible scene at Johnstown bridge where thousands were consumedwas the greatest funeral pyre known in the history of the world It wasghastly workthat of recovering the bodies of the dead dragging themfrom the mire in which they were imbedded from the ruins in which theywere crushed or from the burning wreck which was consuming themHundreds of bodies were mutilated and disfigured beyond the possibilityof identifying them all traces of individual form and features utterlydestroyed There were multitudes of corpses awaiting coffins for theirburial

desconchaduras se sabía de memoria su sol era el altoventanillo cruzado por hierros que cortaban la azul mancha del cielo ydel suelo de ocho pasos apenas si era suya la mitad por culpa deaquella cadena escandalosa y chillona cuya argolla incrustándosele enel tobillo había llegado casi a amalgamarse con su carneEstaba condenado a muerte y mientras en Madrid hojeaban por última vezlos papelotes de su proceso él se pasaba allí meses y meses enterradoen vida pudriéndose como animado cadáver en aquel ataúd de argamasadeseando como un mal momentáneo que pondría fin a otros mayores quellegase pronto la hora en que le apretaran el cuello terminando todo deuna vezLo que más le molestaba era la limpieza aquel suelo barrido todos losdías y bien fregado para que la humedad filtrándose a través delpetate se le metiera en los huesos aquellas paredes en las que no sedejaba tener ni una mota de polvo Hasta la compañía de la suciedad lequitaban al preso Soledad completa Si allí entrasen ratas tendría elconsuelo de partir con ellas la escasa comida y hablarlas como buenascompañeras si en los rincones hubiera encontrado una araña se habríaentretenido domesticándolaNo querían en aquella sepultura otra vida que la suya Un día cómo lorecordaba Rafael un gorrión se asomó a la reja cual chiquillotravieso El bohemio de la luz y del espacio piaba como expresando laextrañeza que le producía ver allá abajo aquel pobre ser amarillento yflaco estremeciéndose de frío en pleno verano con unos cuantospañuelos anudados a las sienes y un harapo de manta ceñido a losriñones Debió asustarle aquella cara angulosa y pálida con unablancura de papel mascado le causó miedo la extraña vestidura depielroja y huyó sacudiendo sus plumas como para librarse del vaho desepultura y lana podrida que exhalaba la rejaEl único rumor de vida era el de los compañeros de cárcel que paseabanpor el patio Aquéllos al menos veían cielo libre sobre sus cabezas notragaban el aire a través de una aspillera tenían las piernas libres yno les faltaba con quien hablar Hasta allí dentro tenía la desgraciasus gradaciones El eterno descontento humano era adivinado por RafaelEnvidiaba él a los del patio considerando su situación como una de lasmás apetecibles los presos envidiaban a los de fuera a los que gozabanlibertad y los que a aquellas horas transitaban por las calles tal vezno se considerasen contentos con su suerte ambicionando quién sabecuántas cosas Tan buena que es la libertad Merecían estarpresosSe hallaba en el último escalón de la desgracia Había intentado fugarseperforando el suelo en un arranque de desesperación y la vigilanciapesaba sobre él incesante y abrumadora Si cantaba le imponíansilencio Quiso divertirse rezando con monótono canturreo las oracionesque le enseñó su madre y que sólo recordaba a trozos y le hicieroncallar Es que intentaba fingirse loco A ver mucho silencio Lequerían guardar entero sano de cuerpo y espíritu para que el verdugono operase en carne averiadaLoco No quería serlo pero el encierro la inmovilidad y aquel ranchoescaso y malo acababan con él Tenía alucinaciones algunas nochescuando cerraba los ojos molestado por la luz reglamentaria a la que encatorce meses no había podido acostumbrarse le atormentaba laestrafalaria idea de que durante el sueño sus enemigos aquellos quequerían matarle y a los que no conocía le habían vuelto el estómago delrevés Por esto le atormentaban con crueles pinchazosDe día pensaba siempre en su pasado pero con memoria tan extraviadaque creía repasar la historia de otroRecordaba su regreso al pueblecillo natal después de su primera campañacarcelaria por ciertas lesiones su renombre en todo el distrito laconcurrencia de la taberna de la plaza admirándole con entusiasmo _Québruto es Rafael_

DREAMCHAPTER INow what can be done said the Doctor Thats the question What onearth can I do about itHe put this question emphatically with an energetic blow of his glovedhand upon his knee and seemed very desirous of receiving an answeralthough he was jogging along alone in his comfortable brougham Butthe Doctor was perplexed and wanted some one to help him out of hisdifficulty He was a bachelor and knew therefore that it was of no useletting Patrick drive him home in search of a confidant for at homethe ruling genius of his household was his housekeeper Mrs JessopShe was a most excellent creature an invaluable manager of the housethe tradespeople and the maidservants and a splendid cook theDoctor appreciated her highly but he was not disposed to ask heradvice or to invite her consolationHe beat his knee a little harder frowned more severely finally letdown the window put out his head and called smartlyPatrickSir Patrick pulled up the slim cleanlimbed brown horse as quicklyas he could in the midst of the hurrying vehicles and hucksters stallswhich are usually to be found in the Essex Road at about seven oclockon Saturday evening and looked questioningly down at his masterDont go home Drive me to Petersham Villa said Dr BrudenellPatrick obeyed rather sulkily He did not know what his master couldpossibly want at Petersham Villawhere he had already been once thatdayand he did know that he himself was exceedingly hungry anddesirous of getting home He gave the brown horse an undeserved cutover the ears with his whip and when he pulled up he did so with ajerk which he might easily have avoidedI shant be many minutes said the Doctor alighting in front of acomfortablelooking wellkept house with red gleams of firelightshining from its parlor windows Walk the horse up and down to keepthe cold off but dont go farIts cowld enough well both be Im thinkin muttered Patrickgathering up the reins with a shiver for it was really a very coldevening indeed damp and gray with a biting east windIf the Doctor heard this complaint he did not heed it his policybeing when his henchman was attacked with a fit of grumbling to lethim recover his goodtemper at his leisure He had hurried up thesnowwhite flight of steps given a vigorous knock at the door andbeing admitted by a neat maidservant was asking if Mrs Leslie wereat home Hearing that she was he crossed the hall with an air of beingperfectly at home and after tapping at the door entered the parlorcausing a lady who was making tea to utter an exclamation of surpriseand a young lady who was making toast before the glowing fire to drop adeliciouslybrowned slice of bread into the cindersWhy Doctorthe teamaker extended a plump hand goodnaturedlyyouagain You are just in time for a cup of tea I believe you came onpurposeHardly that but I shall be glad of one if I may have it MrsLeslie the Doctor returned emulating her light tone as well as hecould and after shaking hands with the younger lady who got up fromher knees to greet him he took a seat near the round table not in thewellworn cozy armchair in the snuggest corner of the snug roomwhich with its gorgeous dressinggown thrown across it and slipperswarming before the fire wad evidently sacred to somebody elseOf coursealthough I fancy you rather despise it as a rule Not a bitlike my TomAh you see Im not like Tom in having some one to make it for meWell thats your fault I suppose said the lively womanvivaciously as she deftly handled the shining copper kettle I toldKate it was your knock but she wouldnt believe that you could honorus with two visits in one dayI thought Doctor Brudenells time was too valuable observed Katequietly as she resumed her toastingShe was not nearly so pretty as her sister although Mrs Leslie wasthe elder of the two by twelve years Maria Leslie had taken life soeasily and turned such a bright face to all its ups and downs thattime had rewarded her at forty by making her look six or seven yearsyounger A downright pretty woman she was brighteyed brightcheekedbrighthaired and so plump and merry that it was a pleasure to look ather Kate Merritt was smaller darker more grave and less attractivealtogether Doctor Brudenell liked them both but he preferred theelder as most people did He enjoyed a visit to Petersham Villaitwas almost the only house with whose inhabitants he was upon reallyeasy and familiar terms for he was by nature a shy and retiring manHe had got into the habit of confiding in cheerful Mrs Leslie but heseldom talked to Kate who was too diffident to make him forget that healso was inclined to be shy Indeed he thought so little about her thathe had not even a suspicion that in her quiet cool selfcontrolledpersistent way she had made up her mind to marry him Mrs Leslie didknow it and often rated her sister soundly on the subject with even atouch of contempt sometimesYou are most absurd to keep that silly notion fixed in your head shewould declare impatiently He doesnt care a straw for you childHavent you wit enough to see that If he only knew what a goose youwere hed pay you the compliment of thinking you crazy I tell youHes a good fellowthe best fellow in the world after my Tombuttheres something odd about him in that way Cant you see that hehardly knows one woman from another you silly child I dont for mypart believe that the man has ever been in love in his life at allMrs Leslie was penetrative but in this matter she was wrong for ifGeorge Brudenell had been asked he would probably have confessed thathe had been in love twice

laquelle la France depuis plusieurs jourset Paris surtout depuis la veille étaient profondément agités par laquestion des banquets réformistes lon voyait rue SaintDenis nonloin du boulevard une

had not slipped butafterward shaking with fury the Admiral of the Fleets of Sennechslammed halfway down the long flight of stone steps before he realizedsomeone was at his elbow He slowed Forgive me Jezef They made me somad I forgot you were waitingJezef adjutant through most of Tulans career and for some yearsbrotherinlaw as well was shorter and less harshly carved than hissuperior So they wouldnt listen to you Not even GrefenEven Grefen That vote had stabbed deepest of allJezef took it with the detachment that still irritated Tulan The endof a hundred years of dreams and we go back

demonstrated its existence Maybe the Council wasright in mistrusting their current notions As for himself he saw onlytwo things to consider that with Coar swinging behind the sun theaccuracy of her new weapon had gone to pot and that before she wasclear again he could pound her into surrenderHis swift campaigns had already smashed her flabby fleets and driven theremnants from space but the

hed intended it to bebrief and controlled Damn it he told himself Im Admiral of theFleets Ive no right to feelings like this He straightened and knewhe looked right when the two sleepy stares occupied the screenTheir hair was stiff and stubborn like his own so that they wore itcropped in the same military cut It could have stood a brush right nowThey were quiet knowing enough of what was wrong to be frightenedHe spoke carefully Im going to Coar to talk to them about stoppingthe war I want you to look after things while Im away All rightAll right Dad The older one was putting on a brave front for thebenefit of the younger and his mother but the tears showedAs Tulan cut the connection he saw that Anatus eyes were moist too andrealized with surprise that hed never before in all the years seenher cry He watched the last faint images fade from the screen Sometime near dawn he gave up trying to sleep dressed and begancomposing orders Presently Jezef came in with cups of steaming amberliquid They sipped in silence for a while then Jezef asked Youveheard about GrefenTulan felt something knot inside him He shook his head dreading whathe knew was comingHe killed himself last night Jezef saidTulan remembered the agony in the old Minister of Wars eyes when hedvoted for surrender Grefen had been Admiral in his day the prototypeof integrity and a swift sledgehammer in a fight

Stenographer whatpurported to be a discussion upon some general political topics andmore especially on the forthcoming presidential election One of thedisputants entrenched himself in what I believe scholars call theSocratic method that is he _pumped_ his supposed antagonist dryWhether the world at large may think the dialogue as funny as I didmyself I can form no opinion It is to solve this question that Igive it to the publicBLYTHE HARDINGNEW YORK _August 31st 1880_THE DIALOGUEWhat is a republicA state or Union of states in which the people holds supremepowerHow does the people exercise this powerThrough men elected for this purposeWhat are these men calledSenators and members of Congress or CongressmenIs there a head or chief in a republicCertainlyWhat is he calledThe PresidentMust the President be electedYes by the peopleWho declares the voice of the people in this matterThe electors of the different states appointed to do it by thepeopleIs it necessary that the whole people should agree on one man in orderto elect himNo it only needs a majority of the nation voting through theelectorsDo the votes of the electors generally follow the voice of the peoplein the different statesThey ought to follow itAre the electors considered bound to vote as the majority of thepeople in their different states directUndoubtedly they areThen it is fair to say that the vote of a majority of the electorsshow which way the majority of the people votedThats a simple question Why of courseWhat are the duties of the PresidentTo mind the business of the nation and his own tooAnything elseIsnt that enoughWell but what is that businessThe business of the nationYesHe makes treaties weeds out old political hacks and sends themon embassies where they cannot annoy him and have nothing to doappoints Judges of the Supreme Court like Joe Bradley when he wantsto play eighttoseven commands the army and navy gets fiftythousand dollars a year takes all the presents he can get livesin the White House and does a kind of general housekeeping businessfor the countryI was not talking of Grant Let that go Does he do anything elseYes if he comes from Ohio he fills nearly every place hes gotto give away with lean hungry Ohio men so that you can get a whiffof that state all over Washington and in a good many other placestoo any time of the day or nightReally I dont understand you All our Presidents do not come fromOhio or IllinoisThank God they dontJust tell me what the Senators have to doTo prevent Congressmen from making fools of themselvesAnything elseYes to keep an eye on the jobs Congressmen are always tryingto put throughWhat are the duties of CongressmenGod knows I dont think they do themselvesWhat should you thinkFrom the way they go on I should say to make a grab wheneverthey canWho is now President of the United StatesSamuel J TildenThat is a mistake The present President of the United States isRutherford B HayesHe is is he Yes just about as much as Im owner of Central Parkwhen I sit down on a bench thereWhat do you meanI mean to say a man cant be President of this country unless heis elected and Hayes was never electedWho was elected thenWhy Samuel J Tilden to be sureThen how did Hayes get inHe had some statesmen working for him who kept the right manout and pushed him inDo you really mean thatAs certain as deathVery strange Who were these statesmen I suppose you mean hisfriendsFriends indeed Yes like wolves are to sheepIs Mr Hayes a sheepThe people that put him where he is have made him sheepish enoughbut he isnt a sheep His hide is too thick for that He would be amule _only he isnt quite big enough_Ah You have a strange way of expressing yourself But tell me whowere his friends as you call themThe same men that worked GrantWhat do you mean by working GrantPutting a pair of blinkers on him and then stealing everythingthey could lay their hands on and then when they were going to beturned out stealing the presidency so as to get another hack atthe swagReally this language sounds dreadful I dont understand it butI suppose you mean rightMean right I should think I do I _am_ right Only in talking ofthieves I am using the language of thieves They simply wanted tokeep their places and go on plundering the peopleSpeaking about General Grant what kind of a President was heThe best judge of whiskey cigars and horses that ever steppedinto the White HouseHeavens how dull you are Im not talking about whiskey and cigarsI mean what were his giftsGifts to whom I never heard that he made any gifts He tookeverything offered him from a brownstone front downwards until itgot to a bullpup with the expressage unpaidthere he stoppedShall I ever get you to understand me I mean had he any goodqualitiesYes he had He wore a padlock on his mouth was a rattling fighterand stuck to his friends In fact he was generally bullheaded _asit were_Good enough But these are not the qualities I am speaking of I meanqualities that the people look for in a President Perhaps stickingto his friends may have been one What do you mean by thatWhat do I mean Why screening and protecting a set of rascals nothalf as honest as ninetenths of the men in jail for robberyDo you mean me to understand by screening that he did what they dowith coal sift out the little ones and keep in the big onesNot at all There was no sift to Grant he stuck to the wholelot until the Republican party told him he must either let them goor lose the countryBy the way are the Republicans good peopleYes just as

the etext Chronology of the Story Quotations Other Editions Errors and Inconsistencies ALONZO AND MELISSA or THE UNFEELING FATHER An AMERICAN TALE In every varied posture place and hour How widowed every thought of every joy YOUNG BY DANIEL JACKSON Jr Boston Printed for the Publishers 1851PREFACEWhether the story of Alonzo and Melissa will generally please thewriter knows not if however he is not mistaken it is not unfriendlyto religion and to virtueOne thing was aimed to be shown that a firmreliance on Providence however the affections might be at war with itsdispensations is the only source of consolation in the gloomy hours ofaffliction and that generally such dependence though crossed bydifficulties and perplexities will be crowned with victory at lastIt is also believed that the story contains no indecorous stimulantsnor is it filled with unmeaning and inexplicated incidents sounding uponthe sense but imperceptible to the understanding When anxieties havebeen excited by involved and doubtful events they are afterwardselucidated by the consequencesThe writer believes that generally he has copied nature In the ardentprospects raised in youthful bosoms the almost consummation of theirwishes their sudden and unexpected disappointment the sorrows ofseparation the joyous and unlooked for meetingin the poignantfeelings of Alonzo when at the grave of Melissa he poured thefeelings of his anguished soul over her miniature by the moons paleraywhen Melissa sinking on her knees before her father wasreceived to his bosom as a beloved daughter risen from the deadIf these scenes are not imperfectly drawn they will not fail tointerest the refined sensibilities of the readerALONZO AND MELISSAA TALEIn the time of the late revolution two young gentlemen of Connecticutwho had formed an indissoluble friendship graduated at Yale College inNewHaven their names were Edgar and Alonzo Edgar was the son of arespectable farmer Alonzos father was an eminent merchant Edgar wasdesigned for the desk Alonzo for the bar but as they were allowed somevacant time after their graduation before they entered upon theirprofessional studies they improved this interim in mutual friendlyvisits mingling with select parties in the amusements of the day andin travelling through some parts of the United StatesEdgar had a sister who for some time had resided with her cousin atNewLondon She was now about to return and it was designed that Edgarshould go and attend her home Previous to the day on which he was toset out he was unfortunately thrown from his horse which so muchinjured him as to prevent his prosecuting his intended journey hetherefore invited Alonzo to supply his place which invitation hereadily accepted and on the day appointed set out for NewLondon wherehe arrived delivered his introductory letters to Edgars cousin andwas received with the most friendly politenessMelissa the sister of Edgar was about sixteen years of age She wasnot what is esteemed a striking beauty but her appearance waspleasingly interesting Her figure was elegant her aspect wasattempered with a pensive mildness which in her cheerful moments wouldlight up into sprightliness and vivacity Though on first impressionher countenance was marked by a sweet and thoughtful serenity yet sheeminently possessed the power to Call round her laughing eyes in playful turns The glance that lightens and the smile that burnsHer mind was adorned with those delicate graces which are the firstornaments of female excellence Her manners were graceful withoutaffectation and her taste had been properly directed by a suitableeducationAlonzo was about twentyone years old he had been esteemed an excellentstudent His appearance was manly open and free His eye indicated anobleness of soul although his aspect was tinged with melancholy yethe was naturally cheerful His disposition was of the romantic cast For far beyond the pride and pomp of power He lovd the realms of nature to explore With lingering gaze Edinian spring surveyd Morns fairy splendours nights gay curtained shade The high hoar cliff the groves benighting gloom The wild rose widowed oer the mouldering tomb The

EMOTION OF LOVE BETWEEN THE SEXES1By SANFORD BELL Fellow in Clark UniversityThe emotion of love between the sexes has as yet received no thoroughscientific treatment No writer so far as I can find has treated itfrom a genetic standpoint The literature upon the subject istherefore meager In his recent treatise upon The Psychology of theEmotions Ribot2 remarks The sexinstinct the last inchronological order with man and the higher animals gives rise tothe emotion of love with its numerous individual varieties Mostpsychologists have been very sparing of details where it isconcerned and one might mention certain voluminous treatises whichcontain no mention of it Is this through exaggerated delicacy Or isit because the authors think that their place has been usurped by thenovelists who have so obstinately confined themselves to the study ofthis passion But the novelists mode of analysis is different fromthe psychological mode and does not exclude it This author thendevotes one chapter of eleven pages to the treatment of the sexualinstinct which includes what he has to say upon sexlove Brief asthis treatment is it is valuable both for the facts it presents andfor the problems it suggests Havelock Ellis who has perhaps donemore than any other investigator in the field of the normalPsychology of Sex says in his most recent work3 It is a veryremarkable fact that although for many years past serious attemptshave been made to elucidate the psychology of sexual perversionslittle or no endeavor has been made to study the psychologicdevelopment of the normal sexual emotions Nearly every writer seemseither to take for granted that he and his readers are so familiarwith all the facts of normal sex psychology that any detailedstatement is altogether uncalled for or else he is content to writea few introductory phrases mostly made up from anatomic philosophicand historical workYet it is unreasonable to take normal phenomena for granted here asin any other region of medicine A knowledge of such phenomena is asnecessary here as physiology is to pathology or anatomy to surgerySo far from the facts of normal sex development sex emotions and sexneeds being uniform and constant as is assumed by those who considertheir discussion unnecessary the range of variation within fairlynormal limits is immense and it is impossible to meet with twoindividuals whose records are nearly identicalThere are two fundamental reasons why the endeavor should be made toobtain a broad basis of clear information on the subject In thefirst place the normal phenomena give the key to the abnormal andthe majority of sexual perversions including even those that aremost repulsive are but exaggerations of instincts and emotions thatare germinal in normal human beings In the second place what isnormal cannot be determined until the sexual life of a large numberof healthy individuals is known and until the limits of normalsexuality are known the physician is not in a position to lay downany reasonable rules of sexual hygieneAlthough very short the analysis of the sex passions in adults byHerbert Spencer4 in a part of one section in his Principles ofPsychology is one of the best Bain5 devotes one chapter to theTender Emotion which he makes include Sexlove the parentalfeelings the benevolent affection gratitude sorrow admiration andesteem A very few pages are given to sexlove proper Verysuggestive paragraphs bearing either directly or indirectly upon thesubject are to be found in the works of such writers as Moll SergiMantegazza James Janet Delboeuf Feré Boveri Kiernan HartmannDessoir Fincke and others There is a vast amount of literature uponthe pathological phases of the subject which is to be considered inanother chapterThe analyses thus far given by scientists are limited to the emotionas it is manifested in the adult A few writers have referred to itin dealing with the psychology of adolescence but in this connectionrefer to it as one of the many ways in which the adolescent spiritshows its intensity turbulence and capriciousness I know of noscientist who has given a careful analysis of the emotion as it isseen in the adolescent It is true that it has been the chosen themeof the poet romancer and novelist But in the products of suchwriters we may look for artistic descriptions of the emotion and forscenes and incidents that very truly portray its nature we have noright to expect a scientific analysisAdults need only to recall their own youth or to observe even brieflyour grammar and high school boys and girls to be convinced that lovebetween the sexes is one of the emotions that become conspicuouslyapparent in early adolescence This is what might reasonably beexpected since the emotion is derived from the sex instinct andpubescence marks the period of rapid acceleration in the growth ofthe sex organs With the increase in size and vigor of thereproductive organs there comes the strong impulse for the organs tofunction Before civilization developed the system of sex inhibitionsthat are considered an essential part of the ethical habits of ouryoung people the impulse to function was not repressed andpubescence marked the beginning of the distinctively sexualexperience of both sexes This was true of primitive peoples and isgenerally true of the lower races that are living today It ishowever not limited to these races A very large percentage of bothsexes of the civilized races begin their sexual life during earlyadolescence This is particularly true of the male half of the racesThe system of sex inhibitions which has gradually been developed bycivilization has been along the line of evolution and has been doingaway with promiscuity polygamy and polyandry it has beenestablishing monogamy and postponing marriage until a period ofgreater physiological and psychological maturity of both sexes Thissame inhibition of early sex functioning has lead to an increase inthe prevalence of such substitutes as masturbation onanismpederasty etc Such facts bear upon the physiological results ofinhibition On the psychological side are to be mentioned courtshipand those sex irradiations that have

Street Covent Garden LondonTO THE MEMORY OF MY FRIENDMADAME JOHN MEYERI DEDICATE THIS VOLUMESO OFTEN AND SO LATELY TALKED OVER TOGETHERIN GRATEFUL AND AFFECTIONATE REGRETPREFACEIn preparing this volume on the Countess of Albany which I consider asa kind of completion of my previous studies of eighteenthcenturyItaly I have availed myself largely of Baron Alfred von Reumontslarge work _Die Gräfin von Albany_ published in 1862 and of themonograph itself partially founded on the foregoing of M St RenéTaillandier entitled _La Comtesse dAlbany_ published in Paris in1862 Baron von Reumonts two volumes written twenty years ago and whenthe generation which had come into personal contact with the Countess ofAlbany had not yet entirely died out and M St René Taillandiersvolume which embodied the result of his researches into the archives ofthe Musée Fabre at Montpellier might naturally be expected to haveexhausted all the information obtainable about the subject of their andmy studies This has proved to be the case very much less than mighthave been anticipated The publication by Jacopo Bernardi and CarloMilanesi of a number of letters of Alfieri to Sienese friends hasafforded me an insight into Alfieris character and his relations withthe Countess of Albany such as was unattainable to Baron von Reumont andto M St René Taillandier The examination by myself and my friendSignor Mario Pratesi of several hundreds of MS letters of the Countessof Albany existing in public and private archives at Siena and atMilan has added an important amount of what I may call psychologicaldetail overlooked by Baron von Reumont and unguessed by M St RenéTaillandier I have therefore I trust been able to reconstruct theCountess of Albanys spiritual likeness during the periodthat of herearly connection with Alfieriwhich my predecessors have been satisfiedto despatch in comparatively few pages counterbalancing the thinness ofthis portion of their biographies by a degree of detail concerning theCountesss latter years and the friends with whom she then correspondedwhich however interesting cannot be considered as vital to the realsubject of their worksBesides the volumes of Baron von Reumont and M St René Taillandier Ihave depended mainly upon Alfieris autobiography edited by ProfessorTeza and supplemented by Bernardis and Milanesis _Lettere di VittorioAlfieri_ published by Le Monnier in 1862 Among English books that Ihave put under contribution I may mention Kloses _Memoirs of PrinceCharles Edward Stuart_ Colburn 1845 Ewalds _Life and Times ofPrince Charles Stuart_ Chapman and Hall 1875 and Sir Horace Manns_Letters to Walpole_ edited by Dr Doran A review variouslyattributed to Lockhart and to Dennistoun in the _Quarterly_ for 1847has been all the more useful to me as I have been unable to procurewriting in Italy the _Tales of the Century_ of which that paper givesa masterly accountFor various details I must refer to Charles Dutens _Mémoires dunVoyageur qui se repose_ Paris 1806 to Silvagnis _La Corte e laSocietà Romana nel secolo XVIII_ to Foscolos _Correspondence_ GinoCapponis _Ricordi_ and those of dAzeglio to Giordanis works andBenassù Montanaris _Life of Ippolito Pindemonti_ besides the booksquoted by Baron Reumont and for what I may call the general pervadinghistorical colouring if indeed I have succeeded in giving any of thebackground against which I have tried to sketch the Countess of AlbanyCharles Edward and Alfieri I can only refer generally to what isnow a vague mass of detail accumulated by myself during the years ofpreparation for my _Studies of the Eighteenth Century in Italy_My debt to the kindness of persons who have put unpublished matter at mydisposal or helped me to collect various information is a large oneIn the first category I wish to express my best thanks to the Directorof the Public Library at Siena to Cavaliere Guiseppe Porri a greatcollector of autographs in the same city to the

Commander of the Seventh Division of the German Army Translated by CHARLES SYDNEY GOLDMAN Author of With General French and the Cavalry in South Africa Editor of The Empire and the Century With an Introduction by LIEUTGENERAL SIR JOHN FRENCH KCMG KCB GCVO LONDON JOHN MURRAY ALBEMARLE STREET W 1909 _First Edition October 1906_ _Second Edition April 1909_PREFACEI ventured to express the opinion in my book With General French andthe Cavalry in South Africa that if a high ideal of the duties andpossibilities of Cavalry is set before our officers and the means ofinstruction and training are placed within their reach we shallpossess in our next great War a force which if led by men of thestamp of General Sir John French will prove to the world that the dayof Cavalry is far indeed from being pastIn other words I am convinced that with good leadership and theright material in men which the South African War has shown wepossess all that we need to perfect our system is a properrecognition of the changed conditions of modern Warfare and a resolveto break with the old and adapt ourselves to the new situationReforms such as this would necessitate must affect all arms of theService but no branch more than the Cavalry whose task in futurewill be more difficult yet whose compensation lies in thepossibilities of successes possessing greater significance than anyhitherto attainedThe South African War has roused the Cavalry into a renewal ofactivity and has caused their leaders to encourage the study ofCavalry literature likely to develop the capacity of the officer forwriting on these special subjectsAs a step in that direction I gave whatever little cooperation Icould to the formation of the _Cavalry Journal_ in the hope that itmay be conducive to the creation of a class of literature in which ourService is peculiarly deficientIt is of the first importance to realize the conditions that arerevolutionizing the conduct of Modern WarfareSuch knowledge can alone enable us to appreciate the task which isgiven to the Cavalry and to estimate the increased difficulties oftheir function As their range of activity has become restricted incertain directions their sphere of usefulness in others has largelyincreasedThe want of an uptodate work dealing with these facts has Ibelieve been supplied by the recent publication of General vonBernhardis book Our Cavalry in Future Wars translated in thefollowing pages with the object of making it more generally known inthis countryNot only is the contribution valuable as having been written by asoldier of experience in the field who has imbued his work with thedash and fire of the spirit of Cavalry but it also reveals a profoundinsight into the modern conditions of War and the heightened demandsexacted from Cavalry training The author lays continual emphasis onthe fact that Cavalry trained and organized on his lines shouldproduce in the early stages of a War effects so decisive as toinfluence and even determine the succeeding phases of the campaignGeneral von Bernhardi has the gift of close and searching reasoningand the ability to present his views in a vivid and trenchant formas convincing as the writings of the late Colonel HendersonHis opening chapter deals with the conception of the conduct of War inthe sense of today and he proceeds to analyze the functions of theCavalry as modified by the changes which have occurredIn lively detail he explains the difficulties which in future willconfront all Cavalry operations and the sacrifices that will beexacted from this ArmSerious study and untiring perseverance must be claimed from theindividual in order to equip himself mentally and physically for thetask of overcoming these obstacles while Bernhardi shows inconvincing argument the brilliant opportunities of successAlthough the opportunity of tactical action on the battlefield mayhave somewhat suffered Bernhardi sees in the strategical handling ofthe Arm its chief possibilities and here he includes reconnaissanceand operations against the enemys rearward communications and pursuitof a defeated ArmyHe considers cohesion and mobility to be essential to insure superiorstriking power by shock and fire action at the decisive point andemphasizes this principle again and again as the means of attaining ahigh fighting efficiencyIn the chapters on Tactical Leading in Mounted Combats and TacticalConduct of Dismounted Action General von Bernhardi deals with themerits of shock and fire action and the enhanced importance of thelatter as an accessory to though never as a substitute for shockand he defines the respective dispositions for dismounted action whenserving an offensive or defensive purposeAt the same time he avers that success must depend upon the abilityof the leader to realize the situation on his qualities of decisionand on his capacity to maintain a correct balance between theapplication respectively of shock and fire actionThe qualifications which General von Bernhardi expects in the Cavalryleader and those under him go to prove the scientific character of theprofession which demands a standard of extreme efficiencySuccessful Cavalry leading will only be possible when the machinery ofthe instrument employed is technically perfected down to the minutestdetail and this can only be attained by a very elaborate and thoroughtrainingThe book should commend itself particularly to those critics whodrawing conclusions from the South African War contend that theunited offensive action of man and horse culminating in the chargecan no longer avail and that the future lies with the mountedriflemen trained only to dismounted action General von Bernhardimakes it clear that the theatre of War in South Africa does not assistus with any complete objectlessons from which to evolve a change oftactical principles inasmuch as the conditions were entirelyabnormal and in European Warfare are unlikely to recurIt must be remembered that after the first few weeks of 1900 theCavalry in South Africa as an effective force had practically ceasedto exist and that its offensive action was greatly hampered by thestrategical plan of campaign which we adopted subsequently to theoccupation of

energy by men whose business it was to travelfrom one great house to another and delight the people by the waywas usual among us from the first The scop invented and the gleemanrecited heroic legends and other tales to our AngloSaxon forefathersThese were followed by the minstrels and other tellers of tales writtenfor the people They frequented fairs and merrymakings spreading theknowledge not only of tales in prose or ballad form but of appeals alsoto public sympathy from social reformersAs late as the year 1822 Allan Cunningham in publishing a collectionof Traditional Tales of the English and Scottish Peasantry spoke fromhis own recollection of itinerant storytellers who were welcomed in thehouses of the peasantry and earned a living by their craftThe earliest storytelling was in recitative When the old alliterationpassed on into rhyme and the crowd or rustic fiddle took the place ofthe old gleebeam for accentuation of the measure and the meaning ofthe song we come to the balladsinger as Philip Sidney knew him Sidneysaid in his Defence of Poesy that he never heard the old song ofPercy and Douglas that he found not his heart moved more than with atrumpet and yet he said it is sung but by some blind crowder withno rougher voice than rude style which being so evil apparelled in thedust and cobweb of that uncivil age what would it work trimmed in thegorgeous eloquence of Pindar Many an old ballad instinct with naturalfeeling has been more or less corrupted by bad ear or memory amongthe people upon whose lips it has lived It is to be consideredhowever that the old broader pronunciation of some letters developedsome syllables and the swiftness of speech slurred over otherswhich will account for many an apparent halt in the music of what wasactually on the lips of the balladsinger a good metrical lineChevy Chase is most likely a corruption of the French wordchevauchee which meant a dash over the border for destruction andplunder within the English pale Chevauchee was the French equivalentto the Scottish border raid Close relations between France and Scotlandarose out of their common interest in checking movements towards theirconquest by the kings of England and many French words were used with ahomely turn in Scottish common speech Even that national source of joygreat chieftain of the puddingrace the haggis has its name fromthe French hachis At the end of the old ballad of Chevy Chase whichreads the corrupted word into a new sense as the Hunting on the CheviotHills there is an identifying of the Hunting of the Cheviot with theBattle of Otterburn Old men that knowen the ground well enough call it the Battle of Otterburn At Otterburn began this spurn upon a Monenday There was the doughty Douglas slain the Percy never went awayThe Battle of Otterburn was fought on the 19th of August 1388 TheScots were to muster at Jedburgh for a raid into England The Earlof Northumberland and his sons learning the strength of the Scottishgathering resolved not to oppose it but to make a counter raid intoScotland The Scots heard of this and divided their force Themain body under Archibald Douglas and others rode for CarlisleA detachment of three or four hundred menatarms and two thousandcombatants partly archers rode for Newcastle and Durham with JamesEarl of Douglas for one of their leaders These were already pillagingand burning in Durham when the Earl of Northumberland first heardof them and sent against them his sons Henry and Ralph Percy In ahandtohand fight between Douglas and Henry Percy Douglas took Percyspennon At Otterburn the Scots overcame the English but Douglas fellstruck by three spears at once and Henry was captured in fight by LordMontgomery There was a Scots ballad on the Battle of Otterburn

Ido not prejudge your opinion of its contents whether favourable oradverse The responsibility rests exclusively with the writerBut I cherish the persuasion that it contains no sentiments andexpresses no feelings which can be justly displeasing to adignified clergyman who has firmly professed his attachment to thegreat principles of the Church in times more dangerous to herinterests and more difficult for her ministers than any which haveheretofore occurred since the great RebellionI have the honour to be Siryour obliged and faithful servantWILLIAM HULLEaton next NorwichSept 1841PREFACEThat strenuous attempts are now in progress to propagate Calvinismin its most objectionable forms by impressing into its service thatspirit of earnest but often misinformed piety which has beenawakened within the bosom of the Church is too notorious to requireproof or to admit of refutationThe following sheets have been written and are now published underthe solemn conviction that the danger to be apprehended from theextensive diffusion of this creed both to religion and the Churchrenders it impossible that it should be allowed to pursue itsunmolested course without correspondent efforts on the part ofsound Churchmen to counteract its baleful influenceSuperstition which lays undue stress on outward forms andfanaticism which gives credit to preternatural impulses andprofesses a particular kind of inspiration differing not at all frominfallibility are the Scylla and Charybdis through which overstormy waters or serene we have to make our steady way Both areequally intolerant and both are condemned by the genius ofProtestantism the constitution of the Church and the spirit of theBibleIt is devoutly to be desired that none who are more regardful oftruth than of party that none who are alive to the real state ofthe times and to the character of the respective interests whichmay hereafter be brought into unhappy collision may hesitatethrough fear or favour to act in this crisis with moral couragetempered with holy charity Let them discountenance all extremeinnovations from whatsoever quarter they may proceed or bywhatsoever distinguished names they may be sanctioned Let them risewith manly integrity above the mean suggestions of temporizingpolicy and look only to the substantial and permanent interests ofthe Church which are those of truth and charity of freedom inalliance with order of Christianity in its most ennobling form andof the public welfare of the British EmpireIf the spirit of rigid Calvinism under any plausible disguiseshould be widely diffused through the Anglican Church we need noprophetic mind to announce that it will lead to consequences fatalto her peace and liberty introducing a spiritual despotism whosepower will be felt throughout the length and breadth of the landoverawing as in the days of John Knox the majesty of princes andspreading its morbid gloom to the sequestered cottage of thepeasant in the remotest regions and most unfrequented provincesHistory proves that the men who are deeply imbued with this spiritmerge all other interests in their devoted zeal to its propagationThose of that party who like Mr Noel think our venerable Churchmeans no more than our venerable _selves_ will be ready to betrayher into the hands of her adversaries whensoever they may be deemedstrong enough to carry her outworks and to supplant the orthodoxclergyman by the Calvinistic ministerwhile those who reverencethe Apostolical succession or the general order of the Church willform within our pale an intolerant party intriguing for dominionrestless and oppressive never to be satisfied until they havecrushed or excluded all who have dared to profess their rejection ofthe Calvinistic theologyIn the spirit already exemplified by the Pastoral Aid Society forthe detection of whose sectarian principles we are indebted to theChristian courage of Dr Molesworth they will throw obstacles inthe way of candidates for ordination or parochial cures if theycome not up to the doctrinal standard of their _triers_ theepiscopal functions will be usurped or controlled by the ruthlesszeal of an ecclesiastical faction the Church societies for theextension of Christian knowledge and piety will lose their catholiccharacter dwindling into ignoble channels for spreading abroad thebigotry of an exclusive school and gone for ever will be thosebeautiful charities and that liberal regard to the just exercise ofChristian and clerical freedom which have been recently elicitedand expressed with deliberate solemnity in the correspondence ofthe Archbishop of Canterbury and the Bishop of London with thereverend Canon Wodehouse on the subject of subscriptionThe author of this tract has aimed at conciseness so far as thenature of the argument would allow not employing those arts bywhich a big book is made But if the smallness of the work does notseem to accord with the magnitude of the subject it is not to beinferred that the sentiments have been hastily formed or rashlyvindicated For many years they have been taking deep root in themind of the writer nor would he have engaged in the ministry of theChurch but on the conviction after serious inquiry that her faithwas primitive and not CalvinisticHe has spared

LUCY FITCH PERKINSCHAPTER ONEMORNING IN THE GRIFONI PALACENear the banks of the river Arno in an upper room of the beautiful oldpalace of the Grifoni family Beppina the twelveyearold daughter ofthe Marchese lay peacefully sleeping In his own room across the hallfrom hers Beppo her twin brother slept also though it was alreadyearly dawn of Easter Saturday in the city of Florence and both childrenhad meant to be up before the sun that no hour of the precious holidayshould be lost in sleepIt was the jingle of donkey bells and the sound of laughing voices inthe street below her windows that at last roused Beppina Though it wasnot yet light the peasants were already pouring into the city fromoutlying villages and farms bringing their families in donkeycarts orwagons drawn by sleek oxen to enjoy the wonderful events which were totake place in the city on that holy dayBeppina opened her great dark eyes and sat up in bed to listen Imawake before Beppo she whispered joyfully to herself I told him Ishould be first I wonder what time it isAs if in answer to her question a distant clock struck five Fiveoclock murmured Beppina and struggling to her knees in her greatcarved bed she dipped a dainty finger in the vase of holy water whichhung on the wall near by and crossed herself devoutly Then foldingher hands she murmured an Ave Maria before the image of the Virginwhich stood on the little table beside her bed This duty done sheslid to the floor thrust her little white feet into a pair of blue feltslippers and her arms into the sleeves of a gay wrapper then ranacross the room to the eastern windowsAs she pushed open the shutters a gleam of sunshine flashed across theroom lighting the dim frescoes on the high ceiling and paling thelight of the little lamp which burned before the image of the MadonnaA wandering breeze fresh from the distant hills blew in making theflame dance and flicker and flaunting a corner of the white counterpanegayly in the airBeppina leaned her arms on the wide stone windowsill and looked outover Florence The sun had just risen above the blue crest of theApennines its level rays tipping the Campanile and the great dome ofthe Cathedral with light and turning eastern windowpanes into flamingbeacons The glowing colour of the sky was reflected in the waters ofthe Arno which flowed beneath its many bridges like a stream of moltengold Pigeons wheeled and circled above the roofs and the air wasfilled with gentle croonings and the whir of wingsFor a moment Beppina stood drinking in the freshness of the lovelyspring morning then stepping softly to the door of her room sheopened it cautiously and peered into the dark corridor She listenedthere was not a sound in the house except the gurgle of a distant snoreAh that Teresina murmured Beppina to herself She sleeps like akettle boiling First the lid rattles then there is a whistle like thesteam Why does she not put corks in her nose at night and shut thenoise up inside of herShe slipped silently into the hall and listened at the door of Bepposroom She heard no sound and was just on the point of turning theknob when the door flew open of itself and a boy with great dark eyeslike her own burst into the corridor and bumped directly into herBeppina backed hastily against the wall and though the breath wasnearly knocked out of her remembered to offer him her Easter greetingsBuona Pasqua Beppo mio she gasped I was just going to wake youTo wake me Beppo shouted derisively Thats a good joke Im upfirst just as I said I should be See I am all dressed and youyouhave not even begunBeppina laid her finger on her lips Hush Beppo she whisperedDont roar so Its only five oclock and every one else in the houseis asleep Not even the maids have stirred and as for Teresinalistento her She sleeps like the dead though less quietly yet she rousesat once if the baby stirs and if we should wake the baby at this hourshe would be angry at us all day longThey listened for a moment to the appalling sounds which rolled forthfrom the room where Teresina the nurse slept Then Beppo said Ifthe baby can

the rockystretches that were bone dry from July to October with a narrowchannel in the centre where what water there was hurried along to thepools below For a mile or more where the land lay fairly level in aplatterlike valley set in the lower hills the mud that rimmed thepools was scored deep with the tracks of the TJ upanddown cattleas the double monogram of Hunter and Johnson was calledA hard brand to work a cattleman would tell you Yet the TJupanddown herd never seemed to increase beyond a niggardly threehundred or so though the Quirt ranch was older than its lordlyneighbours the Sawtooth Cattle Company who numbered their cattle bytens of thousands and whose riders must have strings of fifteen horsesapiece to keep them going older too than many a modest ranch that hadflourished awhile and had finished as linecamps of the Sawtooth whenthe Sawtooth bought ranch and brand for a lump sum that looked big tothe rancher who immediately departed to make himself a new homeelsewhere older than others which had somehow gone to pieces when therancher died or went to the penitentiary under the stigma of a longsentence as a cattle thief There were many such for the Sawtoothpowerful and

mile and a half Quirt Creek was fenced upon either side They hiredtwo men cut what hay they could from a field which they irrigated fedtheir cattle through the cold weather watched them zealously

rather than design Brit had hauled from themountainside logs long and logs short and it had seemed a shame tocut the long ones any shorter Later when the outside world had crepta little closer to their wildernessas go where you will the outsideworld has a way of doinghe had built a leanto shed against the cabinfrom what lumber there was left after building a cowshed against thelogbarnIn the early days Brit had had a wife and two children but the wifecould not endure the loneliness of the ranch nor the inconvenience ofliving in a tworoom log cabin She was continually worrying overrattlesnakes and diphtheria and pneumonia and begging Brit to sell outand live in town She had married him because he was a cowboy andbecause he was a nimble dancer and rode gallantly with
