and sleeping hoursThat I might not lose a storyBut his life was commonplace and unimaginativeAir raids and abdications kept his activitiesA game of bridge yesterday a ride to TarrytownOut of the papersI watchfully waitedYearning a coup that would place him on theMusical mapA coup such as kissing a Marshal JoffreAeroplaning over the bayDiving with Annette KellermanThen for three days I quit the cityTo get a simple contralto into the western papersReturning I entered my office the phone jangledThe burly tenor was tearfully sobbing and moaning over the wireTremor and emotion choked his throatThis was his ominous messageA taxicab accident almost had killed him two and one half days agoHe had escaped with his body and orchidlined voiceAnd not a line in the mornings or eveningsWhat could I do about itAccidents will happenTHE BARITONEHe was a wonderful Metropolitan singerHis name had been blazoned over these United StatesAnd in Europe it was as well knownRecords of him could be bought in the smallest hamletNothing but praise had been shed upon the glory of his nameIn May he was scheduled to sing in ChicagoAt a festival where thousands were to foregatherTo do praise to him and his voiceTwo days before he left he came to his managers officeWith a sickly expression all over his rotund faceAnd a deathly gasp in his voiceOne thought he needed a doctorOr the first aid of some Red Cross nursesHe was ushered into the private officeTo find out his troubleThis was his lament in shortA friend in the hurry of the momentHad procured tickets for him on the Twentieth CenturyWhich demanded an extra fare of six dollarsAnd he wanted to ride on the cheapest trainSo we got him tickets on another roadWhich takes thirty six hours to Chicago and perhaps moreAnd the great singer whose name has been blazoned over these United StatesAnd was as well known in EuropeWalked out contented and smiling like a young boyPATRIOTISMThe patriotic orchestra of eighty five menWas keyed to an extraordinary patriotic pitchFor these were patriotic concertsSupported by the leading patriots of the townIncluding a Bulgarian merchant an Austrian physician and a German lawyerAnd all the musicians were getting union wagesand in the summer at thatSo they were patriotic tooThe Welsh conductor was also patrioticFor his name on the program was larger than that of the date or the hallBut when the manager asked him to play a numberDesignated as DixieHe disposed of it shortly with the wordsIt is too trivialthat musicAnd instead he played a lullaby by an unknown Welsh composerBecause he was a WelshmanThe audience left after the concert was overAnd complimented itself individually and collectively on doing its bitBy attending and listening to these patriotic concertsTHE PILLOW CASESThe train was due to arrive at eleven that nightBut owing to the usual delay it did not arrive until oneThe reporters of the leading dailiesWere still waiting grouchily on the station platform for the great starFor weeks his name had blotted out every bare wallAnd the date sheets of his coming had reddened the horizonNow he steps off the train tired and disgruntledWhat cares he for the praise of the public and their prophetsAwaiting him impatiently at the stationIts a bed he wantsany bed will doThe quicker he gets it the better for the song on the morrowBut in cooking the news for the publicOne am is the same thing as noon daySo they rushed the star with these questionsNot conscripted yetHow do you like this townWill you give any encores tomorrowWhen will the war endRuthlessly he plowed through themLike a British tank at MessinesThe tenor wanted a bedBut Lesville wanted a storyOn the platform patiently nestled were twenty six pieces of luggageTwenty six pieces of luggage containing more than their contentTwenty six pieces of luggage would get him the story he had not given himselfCraftily one lured the reporters to look on this bulging baggagePillows and pillows and pillow was whisperedTonight he will sleep on themVulturelike swooped down the portersBearing them off to the taxisNext morning the papers carried the storySinger Transports His Own BeddingBut the artist slept soundly on Ostermoors that nightThe baggage held scores for the orchestraBETTER INDUSTRIAL RELATIONSHe was the head of a large real estate firmAnd his avocation was seeking the good in a Better Industrial Relations SocietyThey were going to have an exhibit in their church buildingAt which it was to be provedThat giving a gold watch for an inventionThat made millions for the factory ownerWas worthwhileBut they needed a press agentTo let the world and themselvesKnow that what they were doing was goodI was chosen for the workBut the head of the large real estate firmThought that half a column a day was too littleTo record the fact that a cash register companyIn which he owned stockHad presented a medal to an employee who had remained with themAt the same salary for fifteen yearsSo he had me firedAnd the Better Industrial Relations Exhibit was a great successAnd many of the morning and evening newspapersRan editorials about itTHE PRIMA DONNAShe had been interviewed at all possible timesAnd sometimes the interviews came at impossible onesBut it did not matter to herAs long as the stories were printed

Produced by Robert J HallThe Awakening of ChinaBy W A P MARTIN DD LLDFormerly President of the Chinese Imperial UniversityAuthor of A Cycle of Cathay The Siegein Peking The Lore of Cathay etcPage vPREFACEChina is the theatre of the greatest movement now taking placeon the face of the globe In comparison with it the agitationin Russia shrinks to insignificance for it is not political butsocial Its object is not a changed dynasty nor a revolution inthe form of government but with higher aim and deeper motive itpromises nothing short of the complete renovation of the oldestmost populous and most conservative of empires Is there a peoplein either hemisphere that can afford to look on with indifferenceWhen some thirty years ago Japan adopted the outward forms ofWestern civilisation her action was regarded by many as a stagetricka sort of travesty employed for a temporary purpose Butwhat do they think now when they see cabinets and chambers ofcommerce compelled to reckon with the British of the North PacificThe awakening of Japans huge neighbour promises to yield resultsequally startling and on a vastly extended scalePolitical agitation whether periodic like the tides or unforeseenlike the hurricane is in general superficial and temporary butthe social movement in China has its origin in subterranean forcessuch as raise continents from the bosom of the deep To explainthose forces is the object of the present workIt is the fascination of this grand spectacle that hasPage vibrought me back to China after a short visit to my native landandto this capital after a sojourn of some years in the central provincesHad the people continued to be as inert and immobile as they appearedto be half a century ago I might have been tempted to despairof their future But when I see them as they are today unitedin a firm resolve to break with the past and to seek new lifeby adopting the essentials of Western civilisation I feel thatmy hopes as to their future are more than half realised and Irejoice to help their cause with voice and penTheir patriotism may indeed be tinged with hostility to foreignersbut will it not gain in breadth with growing intelligence and willthey not come to perceive that their interests are inseparable fromthose of the great family into which they are seeking admissionEvery day adds its testimony to the depth and genuineness of themovement in the direction of reform Yesterday the autumnmanoeuvres of the grand army came to a close They have shownthat by the aid of her railways China is able to assemble a bodyof trained troops numbering 100000 men Not content with thisformidable land force the Government has ordered the constructionof the nucleus of a navy to consist of eight armoured cruisersand two battleships Five of these and three naval stations areto be equipped with the wireless telegraphNot less significant than this rehabilitation of army and navy isthe fact that a few days ago a number of students who had completedtheir studies at foreign universities were admitted to the thirddegree orPage viiD C L in the scale of literary honours which means appointmentto some important post in the active mandarinate If the boomingof cannon at the grand review proclaimed that the age of bows andarrows is past does not this other fact announce that in thefield of education rhyming and caligraphy have given place toscience and languages Henceforth thousands of ambitious youthwill flock to the universities of Japan and growing multitudeswill seek knowledge at its fountainhead beyond the seasStill more surprising are the steps taken toward the intellectualemancipation of woman in China One of the leading ministers ofeducation assured me the other day that he was pushing the establishmentof schools for girls The shaded hemisphere of Chinese life will thusbe brought into the sunshine and in years to come the educationof Chinese youth will begin at the mothers kneeThe daily deliberations of the Council of State prove that thereform proposals of the High Commission are not to be consigned tothe limbo of abortions Tuan Fang one of the leaders has just beenappointed to the viceroyalty of Nanking with _carte blanche_to carry out his progressive ideas and the metropolitan viceroyYuan on taking leave of the Empress Dowager before proceeding tothe manoeuvres besought her not to listen to

prominent isa priest of BuddhaMay we not look forward with confidence to a time when China shallbe found in the brotherhood of Christian nationsW A P M_Peking October 30 1906_Page ixINTRODUCTIONHow varied are the geological formations of different countriesand what countless ages do they represent Scarcely less diversifiedare the human beings that occupy the surface of the globe and notmuch shorter the period of their evolution To trace the stagesof their growth and decay to explain the vicissitudes throughwhich they have passed is the office of a philosophic historianIf the life history of a silkworm whose threefold existence isrounded off in a few months is replete with interest how muchmore interesting is that of societies of men emerging from barbarismand expanding through thousands of years Next in interest to thehistory of our own branch of the human family is that of the yellowrace confronting us on the opposite shore of the Pacific evenmore fascinating it may be owing to the strangeness of mannersand environment as well as from the contrast or coincidence ofexperience and sentiment So different from ours the author writesas an American are many phases of their social life that one istempted to suspect that the same law which placed their feet oppositeto ours of necessity turned their heads the other wayTo pursue this study is not to delve in a necropolis like Ninevehor Babylon for China is not like western

had Jesus placed He hadHim up in His own place This settles everything else Then one getshimself placed too up on a level where the air is clear and bracingthe sun warm and the outlook both steadying and stimulating Get thecentre fixed and things quickly adjust themselves about it to your eyesIt will be seen very quickly that this little book makes no pretensionto being a commentary on or an exposition of Johns Gospel That isleft to the scholarly folk who eat their meals in the sacred classicallanguages of the past It is simply a homely attempt to let out a littleof what has been sifting in these years past of this wondrous miniatureBible from Johns penThe proportions of this homely little messenger of paper and type mayseem a little odd at first The longest chapter is devoted to only theopening eighteen verses of John the prologue While the whole of thefirst twelve chapters of John excepting that prologue is brought intoone smaller chapter It wasnt planned so though I felt it coming asthe wondrous mood of this book came down over me I think it mast bethe effect of the atmosphere of Johns bookSometimes John packs so much in so little space and again he goes soparticularly into the details of some one incident The prologue is aminiature Bible The whole Bible story is there in its cream And on theother hand John spends five chapters xiiixvii almost a fifth ofthe whole on a single evening He devotes seven chapters xiiixixalmost a third of all on the events of twentyfour hours John iscontrolled not by mere proportion of space or quantity but by the finerproportions of thought and qualityIt has been difficult to hold these homely talks down to the limit ofspace they take here So many veins of gold in this mine showingclearly large nuggets of pure ore lie just at hand untouched in thislittle mining venture But it seemed clearly best to get the one cleargrasp of the whole That helps so much But therell be strongtemptation to get ones pick and spade and go at this gold mine againBut now these things are written that we common folk may understand abit better and in a warm way that Jesus was God on a wooing errand tothe earth and that we may join the blest company of the won ones andbecome cowooers with God of the othersS D GContentsI Johns StoryII The Wooing Lover Who it was that cameIII The Lover Wooing A group of pictures illustrating how the wooing

good as ajugglers show to watch you but it makes me slightlysolicitous Ashe spoke he seated himself on the corner of the wide stone table asnear to Rose Mary and the long knife as seemed advisable A ray ofsunlight fell through the door of the milkhouse and cut across hisred head to lose itself in Rose Marys close black braidsMake it four he further demanded over the tableIndeed and I will answered Rose Mary delightedly And as she spokeshe held the loaf against her breast and drew the knife through theslices in a fascinatingly dangerous manner At the intentness of hisregard the color rose up under the lashes that veiled her eyes andshe hugged the loaf closer with her left hand Would you like sixshe asked innocently as the fourth stroke severed the last pieceJust go on and slice it

your interest will be to me Really nothing in theworld paces a womans work like a man looking on and if he doesntstop her shell drop under the line Now you have your bread andbutter and you can sit over there by the door and help me turn offthis ten pounds in no timeAs she had been speaking Rose Mary had spread two of the slices withthe yellow butter from a huge bowl in front of her clapped on thetops of the sandwiches and then with a smile handed them in a blueplate to the man who lounged across the corner of her table She madea very gracious and lovely picture did Rose Mary in her lightbluehomespun gown against the cool gray depths of the milkhouse whichwas fernlined along the cracks of the old stones and mysterious withthe trickling gurgle of the spring that flowed into the long stonetroughs around the milk crocks and out under the stone doorsillFrom his post by the door Everett watched her as she drove her paddledeep into the hard golden mound in the blue bowl in front of her andwith a quick turn of her strong slender wrist slapped and pattedchunk after chunk of the butter into a more compressed form Thesleeves of her dress were rolled almost to her shoulders and under thewhite moist flesh of her arms the fine muscles showed plainly Thestrong curves of her back and shoulders bent and sprung under thegraceful sweep of her arms and her round breasts rose and

Workshop hislaboratory for trying out plays written in the Harvard and Radcliffecourses in dramatic techniqueI am glad to acknowledge here my indebtedness to the Shop and itsworkers for this chance of seeing the play in action Of the variousadvantages which a Workshop performance secures to the author none ismore helpful than the mass of written criticism handed in by theaudience and representing some two or three hundred frank and widelyvarying views of the work in question I am especially grateful for thisconstructive criticism much of which has been of real service in thesubsequent

holdsSteens cap and cape one to the left an old shawl Near the doorHolgers cap and cape hang from a third pegDespite its poverty the room is full of beautiful coloring as it lieshalf hidden in deep shadow save where the light of the fire falls on thebrown of the wood and the warmer shades of the childrens garmentsilluminates their faces and gleams on their bright hairWhen the curtain is raised Steen is sitting disconsolately on the stoolnear the fire He is a handsome sturdy little lad of nine or tendressed in rough but warm garments of a dark red Holger a slender boysome four years older bends over Steen patting him comfortingly on theshoulderThere is petulance and revolt in the expression of the younger boy butHolgers face is full of a blended character and spirituality that makeshim

over all thisbeing a part of it one might well say This is existence and besideit there is none other Let us dress dine and be merry Life is goodand love is sweet and both shall endure Let us forget that hunger andsin sorrow and selfsacrifice want struggle and pain have place inthe world Yet even with the words poverty frostnipped in a summersuit here and there hurried by and once and again through therestless tide the sorrowful procession of the tomb made wayMore than one eye was lifted and many a pleasant greeting passedbetween these selected few who filled the street and a young man wholounged by one of the overlooking windows and many a comment wasuttered upon him when the greeting was madeA most eligible _parti_Handsome as a godO immensely rich I assure you_Isnt_ he a

did There was not only vigor and manly beauty splendidin its present but the possibility of more to be in the full processof his ripening daysa form alert and elegant which had not yet allof a mans muscle and strength a face delicate yet strongrefinedyet full of latent power a mass of rippling hair like burnished goldflung back on the one side sweeping low across brow and cheek on theother eyes

Kinturista kohtuulliselta sillä hän nauttipuolestaan suuria etuja puodissa Ei hän tarvinnut rahaa kun tuliostamaan ja velkaa joka hänelle vuoden pitkään kahvista jauhoistasuolasta sokerista ja tupakista karttui ei kauppias milloinkaansopimattomasti kiristänyt vaan tyytyi aina odottamaan ensivasikkoihin Sillä kauppias oli todenteolla hyvä mies ja Kinturi kävimielikseen puodissaErittäinkin tunsi Kinturi vielä ylpeyttä siitä läheisestätuttavallisuudesta mikä heidän välillään oli huolimatta siitä ettäkauppiasta saattoi pitää herrasväkeen kuuluvana Kinturi vihasi jakarttoi herrasväkeä niinkuin kaikki hänen esiisänsä olivat aikojenalusta tehneet Mutta tämä kauppias se oli talonpojasta ponnistainnutherraksi ja monet herrat vetänyt nenästä joten hän oli Kinturilletodistuksena että onpa sitä meilläkin älyä kun kysymys tuleeSuuresti hän sentähden kunnioitti kauppiasta ja koko tätä puotia sekäylpeili kuten sanottu läheisestä tuttavuudestaan kauppiaan kanssaKinturin suurimpia nautintoja oli tulla puotiin kun siellä oli paljonväkeä ja tuon tuttavuuden osottamiseksi hakea itse esille mitätarvitsiottaa esimerkiksi omin käsin koukkupääkepillä alas kimppusuitsia valita niistä

1922 Copyright 1921 By DODD MEAD AND COMPANY INC Printed In USA ILLUSTRATIONSThere seated in the entrance to the cave the Man saw the Woman butnot the Woman as he had left herGod had given the Man and Woman no time to pack He had marched thembeyond the walls and locked the golden gates of Eden against themforeverThe Man yawned I am still tired Fetch the horse that he may carry meback to my dwelling CHRISTMAS OUTSIDE OF EDENIThis is the story the robins tell as they huddle beneath the holly onthe Eve of Christmas They have told it every Christmas Eve since theworld started They commenced telling it long before Christ was bornfor their memory goes further back than mens The Christmas which theycelebrate began just outside of Eden within sight of its goldlockeddoorsThe robins have only two stories one for Christmas and one for EasterTheir Easter story is quite different It has to do with how they gotthe splash of red upon their breasts It was when Gods son was hangingon the cross They wanted to do something to spare him They were tooweak to pull out the nails from his feet and hands so they tore theirlittle breasts in plucking the thorns one by one from the crown that hadbeen set upon his forehead Since then God has allowed their breasts toremain red as a remembrance of His gratitudeBut their Christmas story happened long before when they werent robinredbreasts but only robins It is a merry tender sort of storyThey twitter it in a chuckling fashion to their children If you preferto hear it firsthand creep out to the nearest hollybush on almostany Christmas Eve when snow has made the night all pale and shadowyIf the robins have chosen your hollybush as their rendezvous and youunderstand their language you wont need to read what I have writtenLike all true stories it is much better told than read Its the storyof the first laugh that was ever heard in earth or heaven To be enjoyedproperly it needs the chuckling twitter of the grownup robins and thesqueaky interruptions of the baby birds asking questions When they getterrifically excited they jig up and down on the hollybranches and thefrozen snow falls with a brittle clatter Then the mother and fatherbirds say Hush quite suddenly No one speaks for a full fiveseconds They huddle closer listening and holding their breath Thatshow the story ought to be heard after nightfall on Christmas Eve whenbehind darkened windows little boys and girls have gone to bed earlyhaving hung up their very biggest stockings Of course I cant tell itthat way on paper but Ill do my best to repeat the precise words inwhich the robins tell itIIIt was very long ago at the beginning of all wonders Sun moon andstars were new they wandered about in the clouds uncertainly callingto one another like ships in a fog It was the same on earth neithertrees nor rivers nor animals were quite sure why they had been createdor what was expected of them They were terribly afraid of doing wrongand they had good reason for the Man and Woman had done wrong and hadbeen locked out of EdenThat had happened in April when the world was three months old Up tothat time everything had gone very well No one had known what fear wasNo one had guessed that anything existed outside the walls of Eden orthat there was such a thing as wrongdoing Animals trees and rivershad lived together with the Man and the Woman in the highwalled gardenas a happy family If they had wanted to know anything they had askedthe Man he had always given them answers even though he had to inventthem They had never dreamt of doubting himnot even the Woman Thereason for this had been GodEvery afternoon God had come stepping down from the sky to walk with theMan through the sunspangled shadows of the grassy paths They had heardthe kindly rumble of His voice like distant thunder and the little tonesof the Man as he asked his questions At six oclock regularly God hadshaken hands with the Man and climbed leisurely back up the skybluestairs that led to Heaven Because of this the Man had gained areputation among the animals for being wise They had thought of him asGods friend He had given orders to everybodyeven to the Woman andeveryone had been proud to obey himIt had been in April the great change had occurred There had been allkinds of rumours The first that had been suspected had been when Godhad failed to come for His customary walk the next had been when He hadarrived with His face hidden in anger The trees of Eden had bent andclashed as if a strong wind were blowing Everything living that was notrooted had run away to hide Nevertheless when God had called to theMan they had tiptoed nearer to listen The trouble had seemed to beabout some fruit God had told the Man that he

ByF J Foxton B A formerly of Pembroke College Oxford and PerpetualCurate of Stoke Prior and Docklow Herefordshire 12mo London pp 226Reason and Faith says one of our old divines with the quaintnesscharacteristic of his day resemble the two sons of the patriarchReason is the firstborn but Faith inherits the blessing The image isingenious and the antithesis striking but nevertheless the sentimentis far from just It is hardly right to represent Faith as youngerthan reason the fact undoubtedly being that human creatures trust andbelieve long before they reason or know But the truth is that bothreason and Faith are coeval with the nature of man and were designed todwell in his heart together In truth they are and were and in suchcreatures as ourselves must be reciprocally complementaryneithercan exclude the other It is as impossible to exercise an acceptablefaith without reason for so exercising itthat is without exercisingreason while we exercise faithas it is to apprehend by our reasonexclusive of faith all the truths on which we are daily compelled toact whether in relation to this world or the next Neither is it rightto represent either of them as failing of the promised heritageexcept as both may fail alike by perversion from their true end anddepravation of their genuine nature for it to the faith of which theNew Testament speaks so much a peculiar blessing is promised it isevident from the same volume that it is not a faith without reason anymore than a faith without works which is approved by the Author ofChristianity And this is sufficiently proved by the injunction tobe ready to give a reason for the hopeand therefore for thefaithwhich is in us____ Let it be said that we are here playing upon an ambiguity in theword Reasonconsidered in the first clause as an argument and in thesecond as the characteristic endowment of our species The distinctionbetween Reason and Reasoning though most important does not affect ourstatement for though Reason may be exercised where there is no givingof reasons there can be no giving of reasons without the exercise ofReason____If therefore we were to imitate the quaintness of the old divine onwhose dictum we have been commenting we should rather compare Reasonand Faith to the two trusty spies faithful amongst the faithlesswho confirmed each others report of that good land which flowed withmilk and honey and to both of whom the promise of a rich inheritancethere was givenand in due time amply redeemed Or rather if wemight be permitted to pursue the same vein a little further and throwover our shoulders for a moment that mantle of allegory which none butBunyan could wear long and successfully we should represent Reason andFaith as twinborn beingsthe one in form and features the image ofmanly beautythe other of feminine grace and gentleness but to eachof whom alas was allotted a sad privation While the bright eyes ofReason are full of piercing and restless intelligence his ear is closedto sound and while Faith has an ear of exquisite delicacy on hersightless orbs as she lifts them towards heaven the sunbeam plays invain Hand in hand the brother and sister in all mutual love pursuetheir way through a world on which like ours day breaks and nightfalls alternate by day the eyes of Reason are the guide of Faith andby night the ear of Faith is the guide of Reason As is wont with thosewho labour under these privations respectively Reason is apt to beeager impetuous impatient of that instruction which his infirmity willnot permit him readily to apprehend while Faith gentle and docile isever willing to listen to the voice by which alone truth and wisdom caneffectually reach herIt has been shown by Butler in the fourth and fifth chapters Part Iof his great work that the entire constitution and condition of manviewed in relation to the present world alone and consequently all theanalogies derived from that fact in relation to a future world suggestthe conclusion that we are here the subjects of a probation disciplineor in a course of education for another state of existence But ithas not perhaps been sufficiently insisted on that if in the actualcourse of that education of which enlightened obedience to the lawof virtue as Butler expresses it or which is the same thing to thedictates of supreme wisdom and goodness is the great end we give anunchecked ascendency to either Reason or Faith we vitiate the wholeprocess The chief instrument by which that process is carried on isnot Reason alone or Faith alone but their wellbalanced and reciprocalinteraction It is a system of alternate checks and limitations inwhich Reason does not supersede Faith nor Faith encroach on Reason Butour meaning will be more evident when we have made one or two remarkson what are conceived to be their respective provinces In the domainof Reason men generally include 1st what are called intuitions2d necessary deductions from them and 3d deductions from their owndirect experience while in the domain of Faith are ranked all truthsand propositions which are received not without reasons indeed butfor reasons underived from the intrinsic evidence whether intuitive ordeductive or from our own experience of propositions themselvesforreasons such as credible testimony for example extrinsic to theproper meaning and significance of such propositions although suchreasons by accumulation and convergency may be capable of subduingthe force of any difficulties or improbabilities which cannot bedemonstrated to involve absolute contradictions____ Of the first kind of truths or those received by intuition we haveexamples in what are called selfevident axioms and fundamentallaws or conditions of thought which no wise man has ever attemptedto prove Of the second we have examples in the whole fabric ofmathematical science reared from

then is too early to be seriously in love but I wontventure to be certain considering that in Southern countries theheart matures early if that organ is to blame for such perturbationsIf I do not remember well _when_ I can at least say exactly _how_ myfirst love revealed itself I was very fondas soon as my aunt hadgone to church to perform her evening devotionsof slipping into herbedroom and rummaging her chest of drawers which she kept inadmirable order Those drawers were to me a museum in them I alwayscame across something rare or antique which exhaled an archaic andmysterious scent the aroma of the sandalwood fans which perfumed herwhite linen Pincushions of satin now faded knitted mittenscarefully wrapped in tissue paper prints of saints sewing materialsa reticule of blue velvet embroidered with bugles an amber and silverrosary would appear from the corners I used to ponder over them andreturn them to their place But one dayI remember as well as if itwere todayin the corner of the top drawer and lying on some collarsof old lace I saw something gold glitteringI put in my handunwittingly crumpled the lace and drew out a portrait an ivoryminiature about three inches long in a frame of goldI was struck at first sight A sunbeam streamed through the window andfell upon the alluring form which seemed to wish to step out of itsdark background and come towards me It was the most lovely creaturesuch as I had never seen except in the dreams of my adolescence Thelady of the portrait must have been some twenty odd years she was nosimple maiden no halfopened rosebud but a woman in the fullresplendency of her beauty Her face was oval but not too long herlips full halfopen and smiling her eyes cast a languishingsideglance and she had a dimple on her chin as if formed by the tipof Cupids playful finger Her headdress was strange but elegant acompact group of curls plastered conewise one over the other coveredher temples and a basket of braided hair rose on the top of her headThis oldfashioned headdress which was trussed up from the nape ofher neck disclosed all the softness of her fresh young throat onwhich the dimple of her chin was reduplicated more vaguely anddelicatelyAs for the dressI do not venture to consider whether ourgrandmothers were less modest than our wives are or if the confessorsof past times were more indulgent than those of the present I aminclined to think the latter for seventy years ago women pridedthemselves upon being Christianlike and devout and would not havedisobeyed the director of their conscience in so grave and important amatter What is undeniable is that if in the present day any ladywere to present herself in the garb of the lady of the portrait therewould be a scandal for from her waist which began at her armpitsupwards she was only veiled by light folds of diaphanous gauze whichmarked out rather than covered two mountains of snow between whichmeandered a thread of pearls With further lack of modesty shestretched out two rounded arms worthy of Juno ending in finely moldedhandswhen I say _hands_ I am not exact for strictly speaking onlyone hand could be seen and that held a richly embroideredhandkerchiefEven today I am astonished at the startling effect which thecontemplation of that miniature produced upon me and how I remainedin ecstasy scarcely breathing devouring the portrait with my eyes Ihad already seen here and there prints representing beautiful womenIt often happened that in the illustrated papers in the mythologicalengravings of our diningroom or in a shopwindow that a beautifulface or a harmonious and graceful figure attracted my precociouslyartistic gaze But the miniature encountered in my aunts drawerapart from its great beauty appeared to me as if animated by a subtleand vital breath you could see it was not the caprice of a painterbut the image of a real and actual person of flesh and blood The warmand rich tone of the tints made you surmise that the blood was tepidbeneath that motherofpearl skin The lips were slightly parted todisclose the enameled teeth and to complete the illusion there ranround the frame a border of natural hair chestnut in color wavy andsilky which had grown on the temples of the originalAs I have said it was more than a copy it was the reflection of aliving person from whom I was only separated by a wall of glassIseized it breathed upon it and it seemed to me that the warmth ofthe mysterious deity communicated itself to my lips and circulatedthrough my veins At this moment I heard footsteps in the corridor Itwas my aunt returning from her prayers I heard her asthmatic coughand the dragging of her gouty feet I had only just time to put theminiature into the drawer shut it and approach the window adoptingan innocent and indifferent attitudeMy aunt entered noisily for the cold of the church had exasperatedher catarrh now chronic Upon seeing me her wrinkled eyesbrightened and giving me a friendly tap with her withered hand sheasked me if I had been turning over her drawers as usualThen with a chuckleWait a bit wait a bit she added I have something for yousomething you will likeAnd she

ReproductionEDWARDS BROTHERS INCLithoprintersANN ARBOR MICHIGANINTRODUCTIONWithin two or three years after the appearance in 1698 of JeremyColliers A Short View of the Immorality and Profaneness of the EnglishStage the bitter exchanges of reply and counterreply to the chargesof gross licentiousness in the London theaters had subsided Thecontroversy however was by no means ended and around 1704 it flaredagain in a resurgence of attacks upon the stage Among the tractsopposing the theaters was an anonymous pamphlet entitled ARepresentation of the Impiety and Immorality of the English Stage apiece which was published early in 1704 and which appeared in threeeditions before the end of that yearThe author reveals within his tract some of the reasons for itsappearance at that time He remarks upon the obvious failure of theopponents of the theater to end the outragious and insufferableDisorders of the STAGE He stresses the brazenness of the players inpresenting soon after the devastating storm of the night of November2627 1703 two plays Macbeth and The Tempest as if theydesignd to Mock the Almighty Power of God _who alone commands theWinds and the Seas_ Macbeth was acted at Drury Lane on SaturdayNovember 27 as the storm was subsiding but because it was advertisedin the Daily Courant on Friday November 26 for the followingevening it would appear that unless the players possessed the evenmore formidable power of foreseeing the storm their presentation ofMacbeth at that time was pure coincidence No performance of TheTempest in late November appears in the extant records but there wasprobably one at Lincolns Inn Fields which was not regularlyadvertising its offerings The author also emphasizes the proprietybefore the approaching Fast Day of January 19 1704 of noting once morethe Impiety of the stage and the desirability of either suppressing itwholly or suspending its operations for a considerable periodApparently the author hoped to arouse in religious persons a renewedzeal for closing the theaters for the tract was distributed at thechurches as a means of giving it wider circulation among the populaceThe Critical Works of John Dennis Baltimore 1939

ingenuity in seizing upon the fortuitouscircumstances of the storm the acting of Macbeth and The Tempestand the proclamation of the Fast Day which was ordered partly becauseof the ravages of the storm there is nothing greatly original in thework The author was engaged in fact in bringing up to date some ofthe accusations which earlier controversialists had made For examplehe reviews the indictments of the players in 1699 and 1701 for utteringprofane remarks upon the stage and he culls from several plays andprints the licentious expressions which had resulted in the indictmentsLike Jeremy Collier before him and Arthur Bedford in The Evil andDanger of StagePlays later 1706 he adds similar expressions fromplays recently acted as proof presumably of the failure of thetheaters to reform themselves in spite of the publicity previously givento their shortcomings In so doing he damns the stage and plays byexcerpts usually brief ones containing objectionable phrases To thismaterial he adds a section consisting of seventeen questions a notuncommon device addressed to those who might frequent the playhousesThe questions again stress the great difficulty involved in attendingplays and remaining truly good ChristiansThe pamphlet must have been completed late in 1703 or very early in1704 The references to the storm and the performances of Macbeth andThe Tempest would place its final composition after late November1703 and it was in print in time to be distributed at the churches onJanuary 19 and also to be advertised in the Daily Courant for January20 under the heading This present day is publishd The fact that itquickly attained three editions during 1704 may be partially accountedfor by its being given to churchgoers for it seems unlikely that thepamphlet would have a tremendous sale even if one allows for the strongopposition to the stage which persisted in the minds of many people atthe turn of the century The author of the tract is unknown althoughSister Rose Anthony in The Jeremy Collier Stage Controversy 16981726Milwaukee 1937 pages 194209 ascribed it to Jeremy Collier anattribution which E N Hooker in a review of the book in ModernLanguage Notes LIV 1939 388 and also in The Critical Works ofJohn Dennis I 501 has deemed unlikelyAdvertised also in the Daily Courant for January 20 1704 under theheading This present day is publishd and in the same paragraph withthe advertisement of A Representation was another short pamphletSome Thoughts Concerning the Stage in a Letter to a Lady Immediatelybelow this notice of publication was a readvertisement

hisAPOLOGY FOR ATHEISM Not one of you reflects that you ought to know your Gods before you worship themLONDONEDWARD TRUELOVE 240 STRANDTHREE DOORS FROM TEMPLE BARAND ALL BOOKSELLERS1854SUPERSTITION UNVEILEDReligion has an important bearing on all the relations and conditions oflife The connexion between religious faith and political practice isin truth far closer than is generally thought Public opinion has notyet ripened into a knowledge that religious error is the intangible butreal substratum of all political injustice Though the Schoolmasterhas done much there still remain among us many honest and energeticassertors of the rights of man who have to learn that a people in thefetters of superstition cannot secure political freedom Thesereformers admit the vast influence of Mohammedanism on the politics ofConstantinople and yet persist in acting as if Christianity had littleor nothing to do with the politics of EnglandAt a recent meeting of the AntiState Church Association it was remarkedthat _throw what we would into the political cauldron out it came in anecclesiastical shape_ If the newspaper report may be relied on therewas much laughing among the hearers of those words the deep meaning ofwhich it may safely be affirmed only a select few of them couldfathomHostility to state churches by no means implies a knowledge of the closeand important connection between ecclesiastical and political questionsMen may appreciate the justice of voluntaryism in religion and yet haverather cloudy conceptions with respect to the influence of opinions andthings ecclesiastical on the condition of nations They may clearly seethat he who needs the priest should disdain to saddle others with thecost of him while blind to the fact that no people having faith in thesupernatural ever failed to mix up such faith with political affairsEven leading members of the Fourth Estate are constantly declaringtheir disinclination for religious criticism and express particularanxiety to keep their journals free of everything strictlytheological Their notion is that newspaper writers should endeavourto keep clear of so awful a topic And yet seldom does a day pass inwhich this selfimposed editorial rule is not violateda factsignificant as any fact can be of _connection_ between religion andpoliticsIt is quite possible the editors of newspapers have weighty reasons fortheir repugnance to agitate the much vexed question of religion but itseems they cannot help doing so In a leading article of this days_Post_ Endnote 41 we are told_The stain and reproach of Romanismin Ireland is that it is a political system and a wicked politicalsystem for it regards only the exercise of power_ and neglects utterlythe duty of improvement In journals supported by Romanists and ofcourse devoted to the interests of their church the very same charge ismade against English Protestantism To denounce each others holyapostolic religion may be incompatible with the taste of gentlemen ofthe press but certainly they do it with a brisk and hearty vehemencethat inclines one to think it a labour of love What men do _conamore_ they usually do well and no one can deny the wonderful talentfor denunciation exhibited by journalists when writing down each otherstrue Christianity The unsparing invective quoted above from the_Post_ is a good specimen If just Irish Romanism _ought_ to bedestroyed and newspaper writers cannot be better employed than inhelping on the work of its destruction or the destruction of any otherreligion to which the same stain and reproach may be fairly attachedI have no spite or illwill towards Roman Catholics though opposed totheir religion and a willing subscriber to the opinion of Romanism inIreland expressed by the _Post_ The past and present condition of thatcountry is a deep disgrace to its priests the bulk of whom Protestantas well as Romanist can justly be charged with regarding only theexercise of power while neglecting utterly the duty of improvementThe intriguing and essentially political character of Romanism it wouldbe idle to deny No one at all acquainted with its cunningly contrivedsystem will hesitate to characterise it as wickedly politicalproductive of nothing but mischiefa system through whose accursedinstrumentality millions are cheated of their sanity as well assubstance and trained doglike to lick the hand that smites them Soperfect is their degradation that literally they take no thought fortomorrow it being their practice to wait till starvation stares themin the face 42 and _then_ make an effort against itThe _Globe_ of Thursday October 30th 1845 contains an article on thedamage sustained by the potatoe crop here and in Ireland full of mattercalculated to enlighten our firstrate reformers who seem profoundlyignorant that superstition is the bane of intellect and most formidableof all the obstacles which stand between the people and their rightsOne paragraph is so peculiarly significant of the miserable condition towhich Romanism _and_ Protestantism have reduced a peasantry said to bethe finest in the world that I here subjoin it_The best means to arrest the progress of the pestilence in the peoplesfood have occupied the attention of scientific men The commissionappointed by government consisting of three of the must

norperhaps could any one of them have explained why when Austriadeclared war on Servia Germany should be taking a hand But theyhad learnt enough on the lower deck to forebode that when Germanytook a

elevation overlookingthe principal street It is generally open only when a meeting has beencalled by the Selectmen to transact town business or occasionally inthe evening when a lecture on temperance or a political address is to bedelivered Rossville is not large enough to sustain a course of lyceumlectures and the townspeople are obliged to depend for intellectualnutriment upon such chance occasions as these The majority of theinhabitants being engaged in agricultural pursuits the population issomewhat scattered and the houses with the exception of a few groupedaround the stores stand at respectable distances each encamped on afarm of its ownOne Wednesday afternoon toward the close of September 1862 a group ofmen and boys might have been seen standing on the steps and in theentry of the Town House Why they had met will best appear from a largeplacard which had been posted up on barns and fences and inside thevillage store and postofficeIt ran as follows WAR MEETINGThe citizens of Rossville are invited to meet at the Town Hall onWednesday September 24 at 3 P M to decide what measures shall betaken toward raising the towns quota of twentyfive men under therecent call of the President of the United States All patrioticcitizens who are in favor of sustaining the free institutionstransmitted to us by our fathers are urgently invited to be presentThe Hon Solomon Stoddard is expected to address the meetingCome one come allAt the appointed hour one hundred and fifty men had assembled in thehall They stood in groups discussing the recent call and the generalmanagement of the war with that spirit of independent criticism whichso eminently characterizes the little democracies which make up our NewEngland StatesThe whole thing has been mismanaged from the first remarked asapientlooking man with a gaunt cadaverous face addressing twolisteners The Administration is corrupt our generals are eitherincompetent or purposely inefficient We havent got an officer that canhold a candle to General Lee Abraham Lincoln has called for six hundredthousand men Whatll he do with em when he gets em Just nothing atall Theyll melt away like snow and then hell call for more menGive me a third of six hundred thousand and Ill walk into Richmond inlessn thirty daysA quiet smile played over the face of one of the listeners Witha slight shade of irony in his voice he said If such are yourconvictions Mr Holman I think it a great pity that you are not in theservice We need those who have clear views of what is required in thepresent emergency Dont you intend to volunteerI exclaimed the other with lofty scorn No sir I wash my hands ofthe whole matter I aint clear about the justice of warring upon ourerring brethren at all I have no doubt they would be inclined to acceptovertures of peace if accompanied with suitable concessions Still ifwar must be waged I believe I could manage matters infinitely betterthan Lincoln and his cabinet have doneWouldnt it be well to give them the benefit of your ideas on thesubject suggested the other quietlyAhem said Mr Holman a little suspiciouslyWhat do you mean Mr FrostOnly this that if like you I had a definite scheme which I thoughtlikely to terminate the war I should feel it my duty to communicate itto the proper authorities that they might take it into considerationIt wouldnt do any good returned Holman still a little suspiciousthat he was quietly laughed at Theyre too set in their own ways to bechangedAt this moment there was a sharp rap on the table and a voice washeard saying The meeting will please come to orderThe buzz of voices died away and all eyes were turned toward thespeakers standIt will be necessary to select a chairman to preside over yourdeliberations was next heard Will any one nominateI nominate Doctor Plunkett came from a man in the cornerThe motion was seconded and a show of hands resulted in favor of thenomineeA gentlemanlylooking man with a pleasant face advanced to the speakersstand and with a bow made a few remarks to this effectFellow citizens This is new business to me as you are doubtlessaware My professional engagements have not often allowed me to takepart in the meetings which from time to time you have held in this hallOn the present occasion however I felt it to be my duty and the dutyof every loyal citizen to show by his presence how heartily he approvesthe object which has called us together The same consideration willnot suffer me to decline the unexpected responsibility which you havedevolved upon me Before proceeding farther I would suggest that aclerk will be needed to complete the organizationA young man was nominated and elected without oppositionDoctor Plunkett again addressed the meeting It is hardly necessaryhe said to remind you of the object which has brought us together Ourforces in the field need replenishing The Rebellion has assumed moreformidable proportions than we anticipated It is quite clear that wecannot put it down with one hand We shall need both Impressed withthis conviction President Lincoln has made an extraordinary levy uponthe country He feels that it is desirable to put down the Rebellionas speedily as possible and not suffer it to drag through a seriesof years But he cannot work singlehanded The loyal States must givetheir hearty cooperation Our State though inferior in extent andpopulation to some others has not fallen behind in loyal devotionNor I believe will Rossville be found wanting in this emergencyTwentyfive men have been called for How shall we get them This is thequestion which we are called upon to consider I had hoped the HonorableSolomon Stoddard would be here to address you but I regret to learnthat a temporary illness will prevent his doing so I trust that thosepresent will not be backward in expressing their opinionsMr Holman was already on

OathThe Lianhan SheePHIL PURCEL THE PIGDRIVERPhil Purcel was a singular character for he was never married butnotwithstanding his singularity no man ever possessed for practicalpurposes a more plentiful stock of duplicity All his acquaintancesknew that Phil was a knave of the first water yet was he decidedly ageneral favorite Now as we hate mystery ourselves we shall reveal thesecret of this remarkable popularity though after all it can scarcelybe called so for Phil was not the first cheat who has been popularin his day The cause of his success lay simply in this that he neverlaughed and none of our readers need be told that the appearance ofa grave cheat in Ireland is an originality which almost runs up intoa miracle This gravity induced every one to look upon him as aphenomenon The assumed simplicity of his manners was astonishingand the ignorance which he feigned so apparently natural that it wasscarcely possible for the most keensighted searcher into human motivesto detect him The only way of understanding the man was to deal withhim if after that you did not comprehend him thoroughly the faultwas not Phils but your own Although not mirthful himself he was thecause of mirth in others for without ever smiling at his own gains hecontrived to make others laugh at their losses His disposition settingaside laughter was strictly anomalous The most incompatible the mostunamalgamatible and the most uncomeatable qualities that ever refusedto unite in the same individual had no scruple at all to unite in PhilBut we hate metaphysics which we leave to the mechanical philosophersand proceed to state that Phil was a miser which is the bestexplanation we can give of his gravityIreland owing to the march of intellect and the superiority of modernrefinement has been for some years past and is at present wellsupplied with an abundant variety of professional men every one of whomwill undertake for proper considerations to teach us Irish all mannerof useful accomplishments The drawingmaster talks of his professionthe dancingmaster of his profession the fiddler toothdrawer andcorncutter who by the way reaps a richer harvest than we do sincethe devil has tempted the schoolmaster to go abroad are all practisingin his absence as professional menNowPhil must be included among this class of grandiloquent gentlemenfor he entered life as a Professor of Pigdriving and it is but justicetowards him to assert that no corncutter of them all ever elevated hisprofession so high as Phil did that in which he practised In fact heraised it to the most exalted pitch of improvement of which it was thensusceptible or to use the cant of the day he soon arrived at the headof his professionIn Phils time however pigdriving was not so general nor had itmade such rapid advances as in modern times It was then simplypigdriving unaccompanied by the improvements of poverty sickness andfamine Political economy had not then taught the people how to be poorupon the most scientific principles free trade had not shown the nationthe most approved plan of reducing itself to the lowest possible stateof distress nor liberalism enabled the working classes to scoff atreligion and wisely to stop at the very line that lies between outrageand rebellion Many errors and inconveniences now happily explodedwere then in existence The people it is true were somewhat attachedto their landlords but still they were burdened with the unnecessaryappendages of good coats and stout shoes were tolerably industriousand had the mortification of being able to pay their rents and feedin comfort They were not as they are now free from new coats andold prejudices nor improved by the intellectual march of politics andpoverty When either a man or a nation starves it is a luxury to starvein an enlightened manner and nothing is more consolatory to a personacquainted with public rights and constitutional privileges than tounderstand those liberal principles upon which he fasts and goes nakedFrom all we have said the reader sees clearly that pigdriving didnot then proceed upon so extensive a scale as it does at present Thepeople in fact killed many of them for their own use and we know nothow it happened but political ignorance and good bacon kept them inmore flesh and comfort than those theories which have since succeeded sowell in introducing the science of starvation as the basis of nationalprosperity Irishmen are frequently taxed with extravagance in additionto their other taxes but we should be glad to know what people inEurope reduce economy in the articles of food and clothing to such closepractice as they doBe this as it may there was in Ireland an old breed of swine whichis now nearly extinct except in some remote parts of the country wherethey are still useful in the hunting season particularly if dogs happento be scarce They were a tall loose species with legs of an unusuallength with no flesh short ears as if they had been cropped forsedition and with long faces of a highly intellectual cast They werealso of such activity that few greyhounds could clear a ditch or crossa field with more agility or speed Their backs formed a rainbow archcapable of being contracted or extended to an inconceivable degree andtheir usual rate of travelling in droves was at mailcoach speed oreight Irish miles an hour preceded by an outrider to clear the waywhilst their rear was brought up by another horseman going at athreequarter gallop We assure John Bull on the authority of Purcel himself that this is a factIn the middle of summer when all nature reposed under the unitedinfluence of heat and dust it was an interesting sight to witness adrove of them sweeping past like a whirlwind in a cloud of their ownraising their sharp and lengthy outlines dimly visible through theshining haze like a flock of antelopes crossing the deserts of theEastBut alas for those happy days This

of Commissioners for Foreign Missions and from 1885until the time of his death was a Fellow of Yale University servingon the Corporation as one of the Successors of the Original TrusteesTO MY WIFEPREFACEThe chief perhaps the only commendation of these chapters is thatthey pretend to no final solution of the problem which they discussHow to assert the eternal and objective reality of that Presence theconsciousness of Whom is alike the beginning and the end the motiveand the reward of the religious experience is not altogether clearin an age that for over two centuries has more and more rejected thetranscendental ideas of the human understanding Yet the consequencesof that rejection in the increasing individualism of conduct whichhas kept pace with the growing subjectivism of thought are nowsufficiently apparent and the present plight of our civilizationis already leading its more characteristic members the politicalscientists and the economists to reëxamine and reappraise theconcepts upon which it is founded It is a similar attempt toscrutinize and evaluate the significant aspects of the interdependentthought and conduct of our day from the standpoint of religion whichis here attempted Its sole and modest purpose is to endeavor torestore some neglected emphases to recall to spiritually minded menand women certain halfforgotten values in the religious experienceand to add such observations regarding them as may by good fortunecontribute something to that future reconciling of the thoughtcurrents and value judgments of our day to these central and preciousfacts of the religious lifeMany men and minds have contributed to these pages Such sources ofsuggestion and insight have been indicated wherever they could beidentified In especial I must

confronts the incumbent of the LymanBeecher Foundation after he has accepted the appalling fact that hemust hitch his modest wagon not merely to a star but rather to anentire constellation is the delimitation of his subject There aremany inquiries none of them without significance with which he mightappropriately concern himself For not only is the profession of theChristian ministry a manysided one but scales of value changeand emphases shift within the calling itself with our changingcivilization The mediaeval world brought forth out of its need therobed and mitered ecclesiastic a more recent world pursuant to itsgenius demanded the ethical idealist Drinksodden Georgian Englandresponded to the openair evangelism of Whitefield and Wesley thenext century found the Established Church divided against itselfby the learning and culture of the Oxford Movement Sometimesa philosopher and theologian like Edwards initiates the GreatAwakening sometimes an emotional mystic like Bernard can arouseall Europe and carry men tens of thousands strong over the Danubeand over the Hellespont to die for the Cross upon the burning sandsof Syria sometimes it is the George Herberts in a hundred ruralparishes who make grace to abound through the intimate and preciousministrations of the country parson Let us therefore devote thischapter to a review of the several aspects of the Christian ministryin order to set in its just perspective the one which we have chosenfor these discussions and to see why it seems to stand for themoment in the forefront of importance Our immediate question isWho on the whole is the most needed figure in the ministry todayIs it the professional ecclesiastic backed with the authority andprestige of a venerable organization Is it the curate of soulspatient shepherd of the silly sheep Is it the theologian theadministrator the prophetwhoOne might think profitably on that first question in these veryinformal days We are witnessing a breakdown of all external forms ofauthority which while salutary and necessary is also perilous Notmany of us err just now by overmagnifying our official statusMany of us instead are terribly at ease in Zion and might become lessassured and more significant by undertaking the subjective task ofa study in ministerial personality What we are to paraphraseEmerson speaks so loud that men

CHRISTIANA The First Book Printed in the Philippines Manila 1593 A Facsimile of the Copy in the Lessing J Rosenwald Collection Library of Congress Washington With an Introductory Essay By Edwin Wolf 2ndACKNOWLEDGEMENTSI want here to express my thanks and appreciation to Mr LessingJ Rosenwald through whose kindness this unique Doctrina waspresented to the Library of Congress and with whom the idea of thispublication originated His interest and enthusiasm made possiblemy work and his friendly advice and encouragement have been bothvaluable and heartwarmingI also wish to thank others who have given me great assistance Theyare Dr ASW Rosenbach to whom I continually turned for adviceDr Lawrence C Wroth of the John Carter Brown Library and Dr LeslieW Dunlap of the Library of Congress who very kindly read over mymanuscript and gave me the benefit of their suggestions and criticismsMr David C Mearns and Miss Elsie Rackstraw of the Library of Congressand Mrs Ruth Lapham Butler of the Ayer Collection of the NewberryLibrary who so freely and generously made available to me the greatcollections of works on the Philippines in their libraries Dr JohnH Powell of the Free Library of Philadelphia who helped me findreference books of the utmost importance and the many librarianswho courteously answered written queries about early Philippinematerial EDWIN WOLF 2NDDOCTRINA CHRISTIANAThe first book printed in the Philippines has been the object of a huntwhich has extended from Manila to Berlin and from Italy to Chilefor four hundred and fifty years The patient research of scholarsthe scraps of evidence found in books and archives the amazinglyaccurate hypotheses of bibliographers who have sifted the materialso painstakingly gathered together combine to make its history abookish detective story par excellenceIt is easy when a prisoner has been arrested and brought to the dock togive details of his complexion height characteristics and identifyingmarks to fingerprint him and to photograph him but how inadequatewas the description before his capture how frequently did false scentsdraw the pursuer off the right track It is with this in mind that weexamine the subject of this investigation remembering that it has notbeen done before in detail And to complete the case the book hasbeen photographed in its entirety and its facsimile herewith publishedIn studying the Doctrina Christiana of 1593 there are four generalproblems which we shall discuss First we shall give a physicaldescription of the book Secondly we shall trace chronologically thebibliographical history of the Doctrina that is we shall record theavailable evidence which shows that it was the first book printed inthe Philippines and weigh the testimonies which state or imply tothe contrary Thirdly we shall try to establish the authorship ofthe text and lastly we shall discuss the actual printingIt hardly needs be told why so few of the incunabula of the Philippineshave survived The paper on which they were printed was one of the mostdestructible papers ever used in book production The native worms andinsects thrived on it and the heat and dampness took their slower butequally certain toll Add to these enemies the acts of providence ofwhich the Philippines have received more than their shareearthquakefire and floodand the manmade devastations of war combined with thefact that there was no systematic attempt made in the Philippines topreserve in archives and libraries the records of the past and itcan well be understood why a scant handful of cradlebooks have beenpreserved The two fires of 1603 alone which burned the Dominicanconvent in Manila to the ground and consumed the whole of Binondo justoutside the walls must have played untold havoc upon the records ofthe early missionaries Perhaps the only copies of early Philippinebooks which exist today unchronided and forgotten are those whichwere sent to Europe in the 16th 17th and 18th centuries and maynow be lying uncatalogued in some library thereOne copy of this Doctrina was sent to PhilipII by the Governor ofthe Philippines in 1593 and in 1785 a Jesuit philologist Hervas yPanduro printed Tagalog texts from a then extant copy Yet sincethat time no example is recorded as having been seen by bibliographeror historian The provenance of the present one is but imperfectlyknown In the spring of 1946 William H Schab a New York dealerwas in Paris and heard through a friend of the existence of a 1593Manila book He expressed such incredulity at this information that hisfriend feeling his integrity impugned telephoned the owner then andthere and confirmed the unbelievable 1593 Delighted and enthusedSchab arranged to meet him found that he was a Paris bookseller andcollector who specialized in Pacific imprints and was fully aware ofthe importance of the volume and induced him to sell the preciousDoctrina He brought it back with him to the United States and offeredit to Lessing J Rosenwald who promptly purchased it and presented itto the Library of Congress Where the book had been before it reachedParis we do not know Perhaps it is the very copy sent to PhilipIIperhaps the copy from which Hervas got his

the few remaining links in the chainby which the present generation is connected with the reconstructionperiodthe most important and eventful period in our countryshistoryWhat is herein recorded is based upon the authors own knowledgecontact and experience Very much of course has been written andpublished about reconstruction but most of it is superficial andunreliable and besides nearly all of it has been written in such astyle and tone as to make the alleged facts related harmonize with whatwas believed to be demanded by public sentiment The author of this workhas endeavored to present _facts_ as they were and are rather than ashe would like to have them and to set them down without the slightestregard to their effect upon the public mind except so far as that mindmay be influenced by the truth the whole truth and nothing but thetruth In his efforts along these lines he has endeavored to giveexpression to his ideas opinions and convictions in language that ismoderate and devoid of bitterness and entirely free from raceprejudice sectional animosity or partisan bias Whether or not he hassucceeded in doing so he is willing to leave to the consideratejudgment and impartial decision of those who may take the time to readwhat is here recorded In writing what is to be found in these pagesthe author has made no effort to draw upon the imagination nor togratify the wishes of those whose chief ambition is to magnify thefaults and deficiencies in some and to extol the good and commendabletraits and qualities in others In other words his chief purpose hasbeen to furnish the readers and students of the present generation witha true candid and impartial statement of material and important factsbased upon his own personal knowledge and experience with such commentsas in his judgment the occasion and circumstances warrantedWas the enfranchisement of the black men at the South by act of Congressa grave mistakeWere the reconstructed State Governments that were organized as a resultthereof a disappointment and a failureWas the Fifteenth Amendment to the Federal Constitution premature andunwiseAn affirmative answer to the above questions will be found in nearlyeverything that has been written about Reconstruction during the lastquarter of a century The main purpose of this work is to present theother side but in doing so the author indulges the hope that thosewho may read these chapters will find that no extravagant andexaggerated statements have been made and that there has been noeffort to conceal excuse or justify any act that was questionable orwrong It will be seen that the primary object the author has sought toaccomplish is to bring to public notice those things that werecommendable and meritorious to prevent the publication of which seemsto have been the primary purpose of nearly all who have thus far writtenupon that important subjectBut again the question may be asked if the reconstructed StateGovernments that were organized and brought into existence under theCongressional Plan of Reconstruction were not a disappointment and afailure why is it that they could not and did not stand the test oftime The author hopes and believes that the reader will find in one ofthe chapters of this book a complete and satisfactory answer to thatquestionIt will be seen that the State of Mississippi is made the pivotal one inthe presentation of the facts and historical points touched upon in thiswork but that is

du jour de lan 1858 en pleine forêt viergedans les chantiers des Ross en haut de la Gatineau La saison avaitété dure et la neige atteignait déjà la hauteur du toit de la cabaneLe bourgeois avait selon la coutume ordonné la distribution ducontenu dun petit baril de rhum parmi les hommes du chantier et lecuisinier avait terminé de bonne heure les préparatifs du fricot depattes et des glissantes pour le repas du lendemain La mélassemijotait dans le grand chaudron pour la partie de tire qui devaitterminer la soiréeChacun avait bourré sa pipe de bon tabac canadien et un nuage épaisobscurcissait

herselfdown on her bed in one of the dormitories of Miss Tollivers SelectSchool for Girls It is not half so bad for Eleanor She at leastis going to spend her holiday with people she likes But for UncleWilliam and Aunt Sue to leave for California just as school closes andto send me off to a horrid old maid cousin for half my vacation isjust too awful If I werent nearly seventeen years old Id cry myeyes outMadge was alone in her bedroom which she shared with her cousinEleanor Butler The two girls lived on an old estate in Virginia butfor the two preceding terms they had been attending a collegepreparatory school at Harborpoint not far from the city of BaltimoreMadge had never known her own parents She had been reared by herUncle William and Aunt Sue Butler and she dearly loved her old southernhome But just when she and Eleanor were planning a thousand pleasuresfor their three months vacation a letter had arrived from Mr and MrsButler announcing that they were leaving their estate for six weeks asthey were compelled to go west on important business Eleanor was tobe sent to visit a family of cousins near Charlottesville Virginiaand Madge was to stay with a rich old maiden cousin of her fatherCousin Louisa did not like Madge She felt a sense of duty toward herand a sense of duty seldom inspires any real affection in return SoMadge looked back on the visits she had made to this cousin with afeeling of horror Inspired by her Aunt Sue Madge had always tried tobe on her best behavior while she was the guest of Cousin Louisa Butsince propriety was not Madge Mortons strong point she had succeededonly in being perfectly miserable and in offending her wealthy cousinby her unconventional waysMadge had a letter from this cousin in her hand while she gave herselfup to the luxury of despair She had not yet read the letter but sheknew exactly what it would say It would contain a formal invitationfrom Cousin Louisa asking Madge to pay her the necessary visit Itwould suggest at the same time that Madge mend her ways and it woulddoubtless recall the unfortunate occasion when Mistress Madge had setfire to the bedclothes by her wicked habit of reading in bedIt was the study hour at Miss Tollivers school and all of the girlsexcept Madge were hard at work Eleanor had slipped across the hall tothe room of their two chums to consult them about a problem in algebraMadge at that moment was far too miserable to be approached in regardto a lesson though at other times she would have done anything forEleanorFinally Madge raised herself to a sitting posture It struck her asrather absurd to have collapsed so entirely simply because she was notto spend the first part of her summer as she chose She knew toothat it was high time she fell to preparing her lessonsWith a little shiver she opened Cousin Louisas letter Suddenly hereyes flashed the color glowed in her cheeks and Madge dropped thenote to the floor with a glad cry and ran out of the roomOn the door of her chums room was a sign printed in large letterswhich was usually observed by the school girls The sign readStudying No Admittance But today Madge paid no attention to itShe flung open the door and rushed in upon her three friendsEleanor Phyllis Lillian she protested stop studying this veryminute She seized Eleanors paper and pencil and closed LillianSeldons ancient history with a bang Phyllis Alden had just time tograsp her own notebook firmly with both hands before she exclaimedMadge Morton whatever has happened to you Have you gone entirelycrazyMadge laughed Almost she replied But just listen to me and youwill be nearly as crazy as I amMadge had dark auburn hair which was curly and short like a boysTo her deep regret her long braids had been cut off several yearsbefore when she was recovering from an attack of typhoid fever andnow her hair was just long enough to tuck into a small knot on top ofher head But when Madge was excited which was a frequent

morresse A creancinha pallida tinha os olhos fechadosRespírava com difficuldade e ás vezes tão profundamente que pareciagemer mas a mãe causava ainda mais lastima do que o pequeninomoribundoNisto bateram á porta e entrou um pobre homem muito velho embuçadonuma manta darrieiro Era no inverno Lá fóra estava tudo coberto deneve e de gêlo e o vento cortava como uma navalhaO pobre homem tremia de frio a creança adormecêra por alguns instantese a mãe levantouse a pôr ao lume uma caneca com cerveja O velhocomeçou a embalar a creança e a mãe pegando numa cadeira sentouseao lado delle E contemplando o seu filhinho doente que respirava cadavez com mais difficuldade pegoulhe na mãosinha descarnada e disse parao velhoOh Nosso Senhor não mo hade levar não é verdadeE o velho que era a Morte meneou a cabeça duma maneira extranha emar de duvida A mãe deixou pender a fronte para o chão e as lagrimascorriamlhe em fio pela cara Sentiuse estonteada com um grande peso decabeça estava sem dormir havia tres dias e tres noites Passouligeiramente pelo somno durante um minuto e despertou sobresaltada atremer de frioQue é isto exclamou lançando á volta de si o olhar hallucinado Oberço estava vasio O velho tinhase ido embora roubandolhe a creança A pobre mãe saiu precipitadamente gritando pelo filho Encontrou umamulher sentada no meio da neve vestida de luto A Morte entroute emcasa disselhe ella Via sair a correr levando teu filho Anda maisdepressa que o vento e o que ella furta nunca o torna a entregarPor onde foi ella gritou a mãe Dizemo pelo amor de DeusSei o caminho por onde ella foi respondeu a mulher vestida de pretoMas só to ensino se me cantares primeiro todas as canções que cantavasao teu filho São lindas e tens uma voz harmoniosa Eu sou a Noite emuitas vezes tas ouvi cantar debulhada em lagrimasCantartashei todas todas mas logo disse a mãe Agora não medemores porque quero encontrar o meu filhoA Noite ficou silenciosa A mãe então desfeita em lagrimas começou acantar Cantou muitas canções mas as lagrimas foram mais do que aspalavrasNo fim disselhe a Noite Toma á direita pela floresta escura depinheiros Foi por ahi que a Morte fugiu com o teu filhoA mãe correu para a floresta mas no meio dividiase o caminho e nãosabia que direcção havia de seguir Diante della havia um mattagalcheio de silvas sem folhas nem flores de cujos ramos pendia a nevecristallisada Não viste a Morte que levava o meu filho perguntoulhe a mãeVi respondeu o mattagal mas não te ensino o caminho senão com acondição de me aqueceres no teu seio porque estou geladoE a mãe estreitou o mattagal contra o coração os espinhosdilaceraramlhe o peito donde corria sangue Mas o mattagal vestiusede folhas frescas e verdejantes e cobriuse de flores numa noitedinverno

amor atirouse de bruços a ver se poderia beber toda a agua dolago Era impossivel mas lembravase que Deus por compaixão fariatalvez um milagreNão não és capaz de me esgotar disse o lago Socega e entendamonosamigavelmente Gosto de vêr perolas no fundo das minhas aguas e os teusolhos são dum brilho mais suave do que as perolas mais ricas que eutenho possuido Se queres arrancaos das orbitas á força de chorar elevartehei á estufa grandiosa que está do outro lado essa estufa é ahabitação da Morte e as flores e as arvores que estão lá dentro é ellaquem as cultiva cada flor e cada arvore é a vida duma creaturahumanaOh o que não darei eu para rehaver o meu filho disse a mãe Eapesar de ter já chorado tantas lagrimas chorou com mais amargura doque nunca e os seus olhos destacaramse das orbitas e cairam no fundodo lago transformandose em duas perolas como ainda as não teve nomundo uma rainhaO lago então ergueua e com um movimento de ondulação depositoua naoutra margem aonde havia um

valkeaikkunainen punaseksi maalattu mökki pieninepeltotilkkuineen Mökin kierti harvaksi ladottu lappaaita jonka päätparin sadan askeleen päässä toisistaan työntyivät pitkistä saloistatehtyinä juohteina Haapajärven syvään rantaan Mökkiä kutsuttiin siitäsyystä Jahtirannaksi kun sen niemen vesakkaisella tyvellä asui paljonjäniksiä joita Jänislahden kirkonkylän herrat kiirehtivät metsästämäänaina kussa vaan rauhoitusaika loppui Jahtirannan mökki oli Jänislahdenpappilan maalla noin kolmisen tuhatta askelta pappilasta ja asui siinäleski kolmen lapsensa kanssa jota nimitettiin Jahtirannan KaisaksiVaikka mökki olikin kaikin puolin pappilan oma niin Jänislahden entinenrovasti oli Kaisan ottanut siihen turvattomain lastensa kanssa ilmanmitään arentia tai muuta takamaksua Mutta se rovasti oli kuollut jauusi hänelle aivan tuntematoin rovasti oli näinä päivinä tuleva jonkamieltä hän asumiseensa nähden ei tiennyt Siitä syystäpä Kaisan mielinäinä päivinä oli levottomampi kun moneen vuoteen Väliin painui Kaisanmieli aina raskaaksikin ja kyyneleet vierähtivät kasvoilleLuonnossakin oli nyt ihaninta mitä huhtikuun viimepäivinä voi ollaVarhaisen kesän helteiset päivät riuduttelivat tyynen järven selällälepäileviä viimeisiä jäälauttoja ja rannan puissa urvat synnyttivätlehtiä Lukematoin lintujoukkokin kaijutti rinteen metsiä sorsaparvienkisaellessa välkkyvällä lahden pinnalla josta kauvempaa aina väliinkajahteli suuren selkäkuikan huikea ääniTästä ei Kaisan mieli lieventynyt ajatukset vaan arkoina kiertivätsiinä yhdessä kysymyksessä mitä sanoo uusi rovasti josko tämärakkaaksi tullut rauhallinen koti täytyy jättää kuni muuttolintu jättääpesänsä jättää koko synnyinseutunsa aina syksyn tullen Voi meitäturvattomia huokasi aina väliin Kaisa silitellessään lastensa päitä javäliin katsellessaan lahden selällä parikkain uiskenteleviavesilintuparvia Kyyneleet kostuttivat aina silloin Kaisan vaalenneitakasvojaEilen tiedettiin uuden rovastin perheineen saapuneen Jänislahdenpappilaan ja tiedettiin sen tänäpäivänä virkavuotensa ensisunnuntaina kirkossa saarnaavan tulosaarnansa jota kuulemaan riensinyt ken vaan kynnelle kykeni Mutta talojen emännillä se oli paraskiire joutua kirkolle jo paljo ennen kirkkoon menoa keritäkseen käydätervehtimässä uutta rovastinnaa ja jos mahdollista saada hieman niinkuntutustuakin toisiinsa Niinpä jo varhaisesta aamusta nähtiin ihanparruspuitaan myöten lastatuita ihmisvenheitä mennä johkasevanJänislahden perää kohti että koko kiiltävä Haapaselän pinta kauanaikaa aivan kauttaaltaan oli venheitten synnyttämänä väreaallokkonamitkä ristiin vierivät järven pinnalla sortaen aalto aallon kunnestaas tapasi uusi vastasyntynyt aaltoryhmä mikä kaikki heikompansa sortialleen ja voittajana vieri siksi kunnes heidät hävitti sama kohtaloKaisa oli tänä aamuna noussut hyvin varhain toimitukseen lähtemäänpappilaan ja päästäkseen ennen muita rovastinnan puheille kuin hänelläoli suurempi syykin päästä tutustumaan rovastin perheeseen kunkenelläkään muillaMutta kummaa kummemmaksi kävi nyt Kaisan kiire kun näki jo yhtenäpilvenä mennä viiltävän kolmi ja nelihenkisiä kirkkovenheitä rantansaalatse eikä toivonut enää edes vilahdukseltakaan saavansa nähdärovastinnaa tänä päivänä Tämä pelko povessaan juosta kytyytti nytKaisa metsän varjostamaa rantatietä pappilaa kohti ja oli hän hyvinlääpästyneen näköinen tullessaan pappilan kyökkiin Sinne oli moniakymmeniä emäntiä jo ennen Kaisaa kerinnyt joille kyökkipiika tiuskui jaäksenti Mitä te tänne nyt tunkeudutte Nuopa nyt vasta ihmisiä ovatkun täyttävät huoneen ettei ole jalan sijaa Luistakaa toki ulos sitätietä mitä olette tulleetkin Kaisa oli aikeessa palata samassa takasinvälttääkseen talonväen suuttumusta mutta kun näki että kaikki muutkaaneivät olleet kovin kiireisiä pakenemaan jota paitsi toisia yhä työntyisisään huolimatta piian yhäkin kiivaammasta säksymisestä niin Kaisa saihieman rohkeutta ja sanoi Minulla olisi rovastinnalle asiaaKaisan sanoista kävi piian korviin salainen kaino asiallisuus senkuultuaan hän hieman lamautui säksyämisestään mutta kuitenkin melkeenvihassa aukasi kyökin toisessa päässä olevan oven ja tuikeastikatsellen sanoi Kun lienee asiallista asiaa niin tuollakai se onkun menet tuosta oikeanpuolimaisesta ovesta sisään Samassa kuuluijoukosta ääniä Minä minä ja minäkin tahtoisin tavata rovastinnanMinullakin olisi asiaa rovastinnalle Mutta piika nykäsi kyökin ovenkiinni semmoisella voimalla että rakennus tärähti ja sanoi On vuottavoita syödä Tapaattehan sen nyt vastakin jos nyt tulo tuohakassaanette menekkään läkähdyttämään Luulisi toki tuon ikäisillä ihmisilläsenverran olevan harinetta antaa ihmisille rauhan siksi että saavattulohengästyksensä huokua ulosEmännät tämän kuultuaan lähtivät luimussa korvin lipumaan ulos Kaisatunsi povessaan mieluisen liehauksen piian kovuudesta ja seisattui ihanhengittämättä kyökin oven taakse kuulemaan mitä piika toisilleemännille kyökissä puhui Ja samassa hän kuuli kun rovastinna siinähuoneessa mihin hän neuvottiin menemään kerkeällä kielellään oikeininnoissaan puhua selkutteli entisen kotipuolensa kuulumisia Jokilahdenemännälle joka oli tuonut vasta saatuja haukia rovastinnalletuomisiksi päästäkseen siten jo ensi alussa rovastinnan kanssa hyviinväleihin Kaisa ei kuitenkaan malttanut kauan kuunnella ennenkun sitasisuurikirjaisen vaaleapohjaisen päähuivinsa nurkat leukansa allelujempaan nykäsi sitä hieman enemmän otsalleen ja kainona työntyisisälleRovastinnan mustat silmät lensivät nyt tuikeina Kaisaa vastaan ja kunpuhelukin keskeytyi kokonaan niin Kaisa hämmästyi että jäi seisomaanoven pieleen ja tuskin sai sanotuksi hyvää huomenta Eikä hänoikeastaan tiennyt kenelle sitä sanoisikaan sillä hän oli mielessäänkuvitellut rovastinnaa isoksi lempeäkasvoiseksi rouvan hoilakkeeksijuuri samanlaiseksi kuin entinenkin oli Mutta edessään hän sohvankannella istua tupottamassa näki nyt lyhyen paksun talonpoikaispukuisenakan töpsän jonka leveässä otsassa paurotti kaksi mustaa silmää kuinnutun nappia rävähtämättä katsomassa häneenRovastinna Kaisan omituisesta luonnon valosta ja liian arkaluontoisennäköisestä sisääntulosta hieman tyrmistyi luullen Kaisan jonkun verranmielivikaiseksi Sempä vuoksi hän niin terävästi katsoi Kaisaa Muttakuitenkin tavallisen leppoisalla äänellä kysyi Mitäs teillä olisiasiaaRovastinnalle minulla olisi kuului Kaisan alakuloinen sana jasamalla kierti silmillään koko huoneen näkyisikö siellä senlaistajota voisi niinkuin summassa tuntea paremmin rovastinnaksi kuin sitämikä edessään istui Mutta mitään eivät kerinneet hänen silmänsäkeksiä kun edessään olevan ja häneen yhä tuijottavan eukon pyöreästäsuusta kuuluivat sanat Mitä teillä minulle olisiOlisihan sitä paljonkin vaan nyt ei liene tilaa pitempiin tulin vaanteitä näkemään sanoi Kaisa Mutta tähän loppuivat hänellä sanattuntui siltä kuin ei osaisikaan enempi sanoa nykäsi vaan päähuiviaanyhä enemmän silmiensä eteen ja tuntui kyyneleet rupeavan kiehumaansilmien nurkissa ja pää painahti alemmasTämän huomasi Jokilahden emäntä ja ennenkun rovastinna kerkesi mitäänsanoa kiirehti sanomaanKaisalla taitaa olla huolena talonasia kun hänen kotinsa on kahdenisännänMiten niin kuului rovastinnan sanat ja hieman tulehtunein kasvoinkääntyi Jokilahden emäntään todellakin kuulemaan miten sen vieraanlaita oikeastaan onSe hänen kotinsa kun on tämän pappilan maalla alkoi emäntä jasitäpaitsi pappilan oma Mutta kun tämä Kaisaparka joutui leskeksikolmen pienen lapsen kanssa niin entinen rovasti eli oikeamminrovastinna otti tämän siihen Jahtirannan mökkiin asumaan ja siinähäntämä on nämä leskivuotensa elänyt kuni herran kukkarossa Ja entinenrovasti jos olisi elänyt niin rovastinna kyllä olisi Kaisan ihansylilapsenaan kantanut elämän halki se niin piti tästä Kaisasta Muttase on mennyt eikä voi mennä menneen jälessä Kaisa paremmin kun memuutkaanJahtirannan mökki keskeytti rovastinna Siitä oli jo illallapuhetta No elkäähän nyt Kaisa niin kovin ruvetko murehtimaanEttehän vielä tiedä sitä surkeutta itkeä mitä ei ole tapahtunutTulkaahan tänne istumaan Ihmisiä sitä mekin olemme eikä vaan entinenrovasti ja rovastinna Kas niin istutaanhan tässä näin vierekkäinniin kyllä surut haihtuvatTämän kuullessaan Kaisan sydän hytkähti istuessa rovastinnan viereensohvalle hyrskähti ilon puuska ihan ääneen ja kyyneltulva purkautuiyhäkin rajummin mutta se heti taukosi itsestään kun mieli vakautuiniihin rovastinnan

is ook een geluk dat mijne lezersop hun gemak in hun eigen huis het hervatten van de reis hebbenkunnen afwachten Hadden zij dien tijd werkelijk moeten doorbrengenin het huis van Alkibiades Koutzavas onzen gastheer en zich daarmoeten voeden met de ranzige olie de bittere olijven en den zurenwijn van het landik vrees dat zij voor altijd genoeg zouden hebbengekregen van het oude het tegenwoordige en het toekomende GriekenlandIk hoop dan ook dat mijne lezers gezind zullen zijn om onzen tochtdoor den Peloponnesos te voleindigen waarna wij nog aan enkeleeilanden een bezoek zullen brengenWij verlaten Andritzena om ons naar Olympia te begeven en volgeneen smallen en steenachtigen weg die langs de berghelling slingertaan welker voet de Alpheios zijne geelachtige wateren tusschen grooterotsblokken voortstuwt Nu eens loopt de weg door boschjes dan wederdoor weilanden waarin runderen loopen te grazen onder de hoede vaneenige in lompen gehulde knapen Voert de weg door eene of anderestille schaduwrijke vallei dan wordt meestal het oor gestreeld door demuziek van eene overvloedig vloeiende bron waarvan het kristalhelderewater in vroolijke sprongen over de rotsen huppelt en kleine stillekommen vormt waarin mikroskopische schildpadden rondzwemmen diezich bij onze nadering haastig verbergen tusschen de bladeren enstengels van waterleliesStijgt de weg weer langs de berghellingomhoog dan ontvouwt zich voor onzen blik het panorama van de breedeboschrijke vallei ten noorden begrensd door de bergketen van denErymanthes Van bebouwing is overigens niet veel te ontdekken Vantijd tot tijd ziet ge een maïsveld waaruit ge kunt opmaken datdaar in den omtrek menschen wonen die voedsel noodig hebben om televenOverigens is de vallei eenzaam en verlaten geen ander geluidtreft uw oor dan het ruischen van het gebladerte en het tjilpen enfluiten der vogels Als op zoo vele andere plaatsen heerscht ook daarde koorts De Grieken willen van de malaria niets weten en loochenenhaar doch de vaalbleeke gelaatskleur de doffe oogen de ingevallenwangen de zwakke krachtelooze gestalte der bewoners van de diepevalleien logenstraffen hunne bewering op de nadrukkelijkste wijzeEen uur nadat wij het dorp Phanari waren doorgetrokken kwamen wijop het plateau van Nerovitsa van waar men geheel het omliggendeland en al de bergen van Arkadië kan overzien Van Rougozio eendorpje waarvan de huizen van takken en slijk zijn gebouwd voerteen moeilijk begaanbaar pad met vele kronkelingen dwars doorsteeneiken en mastikboomen naar beneden naar den Alpheios Wijdoorwaden de rivier en vinden op de landtong waar de Ladon en deAlpheios samenvloeien de grondslagen van oude helleensche murenhalf verborgen onder kreupelhout en heestergewasDaar lag weleer Heraea eene der rijkste en machtigste steden vanArkadië vermoedelijk ook eene der gelukkigste want zij heeft geenegeschiedenis Hoe zou zij ook niet gelukkig zijn geweest omringddoor eene zoo schoone en zoo vruchtbare streek in een land met deshemels beste gaven gezegend en verborgen voor de gierige blikkenvan vreemde veroveraars in een heerlijk klimaat waar de zwoelekoeltjes van de Ionischezee afwisselen met de frissche winden van denErymanthesDe stad was gebouwd op een glooiend terrein dat naar denAlpheios afloopt langs de rivier strekten zich lange terrassen uitmet myrthen en laurieren beplant en die eene heerlijke wandelplaatsvoor de burgers aanboden Van daar konden zij den loop der riviervolgen tot waar zij zich plotseling naar het westen wendt van daarlieten zij hunne blikken dwalen over het bekoorlijke landschap overde malsche groene weiden langs den stroom over de boschrijke heuvelenen bergen over geheel deze rustige vrede en kalmte ademende omgevingDe breede en diepe Ladon was niet doorwaadbaar de paarden moestentrachten al zwemmende den overkant te bereiken wij zelven staptenin eene soort van oude ontwrichte schuit ongeveer zoo waterdichtals eene zeef De oude boer met de bediening van dit veer belastwas nergens te vinden naar het schijnt was er in het naburigedorp Paloumba eene vergadering van kiezers en de veerman zou geenGriek zijn geweest indien hij niet zijn plicht had verzuimd om inde herberg te gaan redeneeren over de verdiensten der verschillendekandidaten en over de beste wijze om s lands zaken te besturenDe vallei van den Ladon behoort ongetwijfeld tot de schoonste strekenvan Griekenland de reiziger hij mag archeoloog schilder of dichterzijn kan hier alles vinden wat zijn weetlust of zijne fantasiekan bevredigen Dit is werkelijk het zoo vaak bezongen Arkadië metzijne kristalheldere rivier die zich als een zilveren lint door hetliefelijke landschap slingert met zijne koele murmelende bronnenzijn schaduwrijke bosschen zijn malsche weiden waarin de blankerunderen grazen met zijn zacht glooiende heuvelen stralende inbonte bloemenprachtBij iederen voetstap verandert de aanblik van de vallei nu eensverdwijnt de rivier bijna onder de reusachtige platanen wier breedetakken haar overwelven dan weder verdeelt zij zich in twee armenwelke schilderachtige eilandjes omvatten met weelderig geboomte bedektstraks wandelt zij in vrije majesteit door heerlijke weilandenomlijst door heuvelen met donkere dennen begroeid De berghellingenzijn met dichte eikenbosschen bedekt en in de verte straalt hoog inde lucht de besneeuwde top van den Olonos Als van zelve geeft menzich over aan den indruk van deze onuitsprekelijk bekoorlijke natuuren men kan bijna niet anders dan gelooven dat dit schoone land slechtsdoor tevreden gelukkige menschen werd bewoond eenvoudig van zedenen levenswijze en onverschillig voor den zoo duur gekochten roemvergeten bij de wereld maar in rust en vrede genietende van deonuitputtelijke zegeningen der natuurNauwelijks drie kwartier nadat wij de boorden van den Ladon verlatenhadden kwamen wij aan eene andere rivier waarvan de snelvlietendewateren den oever hadden ingeschaard Dit is de oude

Native Affairs in Natal and in other offices have beenintimately acquainted with the Zulu people Moreover you are one ofthe few living men who have made a deep and scientific study of theirlanguage their customs and their history So I confess that I was themore pleased after you were so good as to read this talethesecond book of the epic of the vengeance of Zikali theThingthatshouldneverhavebeenborn and of the fall of the House ofSenzangakonawhen you wrote to me that it was animated by the trueZulu spirit Marie was the first The third and final act in the drama is yet to comeI must admit that my acquaintance with this people dates from a periodwhich closed almost before your day What I know of them I gatheredat the time when Cetewayo of whom my volume tells was in his gloryprevious to the evil hour in which he found himself driven by theclamour of his regiments cut off as they were through the annexationof the Transvaal from their hereditary trade of war to match himselfagainst the British strength I learned it all by personal observationin the seventies or from the lips of the great Shepstone my chief andfriend and from my colleagues Osborn Fynney Clarke and others everyone of them long since gone downPerhaps it may be as well that this is so at any rate in the case ofone who desires to write of the Zulus as a reigning nation which nowthey have ceased to be and to try to show them as they were in alltheir superstitious madness and bloodstained grandeurYet then they had virtues as well as vices To serve their Country inarms to die for it and for the King such was their primitive ideal Ifthey were fierce they were loyal and feared neither wounds nor doom ifthey listened to the dark redes of the witchdoctor the trumpetcallof duty sounded still louder in their ears if chanting their terribleIngoma at the Kings bidding they went forth to slay unsparingly atleast they were not mean or vulgar From those who continually must facethe last great issues of life or death meanness and vulgarity arefar removed These qualities belong to the safe and crowded haunts ofcivilised men not to the kraals of Bantu savages where at any rate ofold they might be sought in vainNow everything is changed or so I hear and doubtless in the balancethis is best Still we may wonder what are the thoughts that passthrough the mind of some ancient warrior of Chakas or Dingaans timeas he suns himself crouched on the ground for example where once stoodthe royal kraal Duguza and watches men and women of the Zulu bloodpassing homeward from the cities or the mines bemused some of themwith the white mans smuggled liquor grotesque with the white manscastoff garments hiding perhaps in their blankets examples of thewhite mans doubtful photographsand then shuts his sunken eyes andremembers the plumed and kilted regiments making that same ground shakeas with a thunder of salute line upon line company upon company theyrushed out to battleWell because the latter does not attract me it is of this former timethat I have tried to writethe time of the Impis and the witchfindersand the rival princes of the royal Houseas I am glad to learn fromyou not quite in vain Therefore since you so great an expertapprove of my labours in the seldomtravelled field of Zulu story I askyou to allow me to set your name upon this page and subscribe myselfGratefully and sincerely yoursH RIDER HAGGARDDitchingham 12th October 1912To James Stuart Esq Late Assistant Secretary for Native AffairsNatalAUTHORS NOTEMr Allan Quatermains story of the wicked and fascinating Mameenaa kind of Zulu Helen has it should be stated a broad foundation inhistorical fact Leaving Mameena and her wiles on one side the tale ofthe struggle between the Princes Cetewayo and Umbelazi for succession tothe throne of Zululand is trueWhen the differences between these sons of his became intolerablebecause of the tumult which they were causing in his country KingPanda their father the son of Senzangakona and the brother of thegreat Chaka and of Dingaan who had ruled before him did say that whentwo young bulls quarrel they had better fight it out So at least Iwas told by the late Mr F B Fynney my colleague at the time of theannexation of the Transvaal in 1877 who as Zulu Border Agent with theexceptions of the late Sir Theophilus Shepstone and the late Sir MelmothOsborn perhaps knew more of that land and people than anyone else ofhis periodAs a result of this hint given by a maddened king the great battle ofthe Tugela was fought at Endondakusuka in December 1856 between theUsutu party commanded by Cetewayo and the adherents of Umbelazithe Handsome his brother who was known among the Zulus asIndhlovueneSihlonti or the Elephant with the tuft of hair from alittle lock of hair

ARMAGEDDONAND AFTER BY WL COURTNEY MA LLD LONDON CHAPMAN HALL LTD 1914 DEDICATED WITH ALL HUMILITY AND ADMIRATION TO THE YOUNG IDEALISTS OF ALL COUNTRIESWHO WILL NOT ALLOW THE DREAMS OF THEIR YOUTH TO BE TARNISHED BY THE EXPERIENCES OF AN OUTWORN AGEPREFACEI dedicate this little book to the young idealists of this and othercountries for several reasons They must obviously be young becausetheir older contemporaries with a large amount of experience of earlierconditions will hardly have the courage to deal with the novel data Itake it that after the conclusion of the present war there will come anuneasy period of exhaustion and anxiety when we shall be told that thosewho hold military power in their hands are alone qualified to act assaviours of society That conclusion as I understand the matter youngidealists will strenuously oppose They will be quite aware that all theconservative elements will be against them they will appreciate also theeagerness with which a large number of people will point out that thesafest way is to leave matters more or less alone and to allow thesituation to be controlled by soldiers and diplomatists Of course thereis obvious truth in the assertion that the immediate settlement of peaceconditions must to a large extent be left in the hands of those whobrought the war to a successful conclusion But the relief from pressinganxiety when this horrible strife is over and the feeling of gratitude tothose who have delivered us must not be allowed to gild and consecrate asit were systems proved effete and policies which intelligent menrecognise as bankrupt The moment of deliverance will be too unique andtoo splendid to be left in the hands of men who have grown if notcynical at all events a little weary of the notorious defects ofhumanity and who are perhaps naturally tempted to allow Europeanprogress to fall back into the old wellworn ruts It is the young men whomust take the matter in hand with their ardent hopes and their keenimagination and only so far as they believe in the possibility of a greatamelioration will they have any chance of doing yeoman service forhumanityThe dawn of a new era must be plenarily accepted as a wonderfulopportunity for reform If viewed in any other spirit the splendours ofthe morning will soon give way before the obstinate clouds hanging on thehorizon In some fashion or other it must be acknowledged that oldermethods of dealing with international affairs have been tried and foundwanting It must be admitted that the ancient principles helped to bringabout the tremendous catastrophe in which we are at present involved andthat a thorough reorganisation is required if the new Europe is to startunder better auspices That is why I appeal to the younger idealistsbecause they are not likely to be deterred by inveterate prejudices theywill be only too eager to examine things with a fresh intelligence oftheir own Somehow or other we must get rid of the absurd idea that thenations of Europe are always on the look out to do each other an injuryWe have to establish the doctrines of Right on a proper basis anddethrone that ugly phantom of Might which is the object of Potsdamworship International law must be built up with its proper sanctions andvirtues which are Christian and humane must find their proper place inthe ordinary dealings of states with one another Much clever dialecticswill probably be employed in order to prove that idealistic dreams arevain Young men will not be afraid of such arguments they will not bedeterred by purely logical difficulties Let us remember that this war hasbeen waged in order to make war for the future impossible If that be thepresiding idea of mens minds they will keep their reforming coursesteadily directed towards ideal ends patiently working for thereconstruction of Europe and a better lot for humanity at largeOnce more let me repeat that it is only young idealists who are sufficientfor these things They may call themselves democrats or socialists orfuturists or merely reformers The name is unimportant the main point isthat they must thoroughly examine their creed in the light of their finesthopes and aspirations They will not be the slaves of any formulæ andthey will hold out their right hands to every manwhatever may be thelabel he puts on his theorieswho is striving in singleminded devotionfor a millennial peace The new era will have to be of a spiritualethical type Coarser forms of materialism whether in thought or lifewill have to be banished because the scales have at last dropped from oureyes and we intend to regard a human being no longer as a thing ofluxury or wealth or greedy passions but as the possessor of a livingsoulWLC_November 10 1914_ I wish to acknowledge my obligation to Mr HN Brailsfords _The War ofSteel and Gold_ Bell I do not pretend to agree with all that MrBrailsford says but I have found his book always interesting

in expectation of great changes in the earthWhen Mohammed arose he not only claimed to be the deliverer of amessage inspired of Allah but to foretell the events of futurity Hedeclared that the approach of the latter day could be distinguished byunmistakable signs among which were two of the most notable characterBefore the latter day the _sun shall rise in the West_ and God willsend forth a cold odoriferous wind blowing from _Syria Damascena_ whichshall _sweep away_ the souls of all the faithful and _the Koranitself_ What the world of Islam takes in its literal sense we may takein a deeper spiritual meaning Is it not true that far in the West thegospel sun began to rise and shed its beams on Syria many years agoand that in our day that cold odoriferous wind of truth and lifefragrant with the love of Jesus and the love of man is beginning toblow from Syria Damascena over all the Eastern world The church andthe school the printing press and the translated Bible the periodicaland the ponderous volume the testimony of living witnesses for thetruth and of martyrs who have died in its defence all combine to sweepaway the systems of error whether styled Christian Moslem or PaganThe remarkable uprising of christian women in Christian lands to a newinterest in the welfare of woman in heathen and Mohammedan countries isone of the great events of the present century This book is meant to bea memorial of the early laborers in Syria nearly all of whom havepassed away It is intended also as a record of the work done for womenand girls of the Arab race to show some of the great results which havebeen reached and to stimulate to new zeal and effort in their behalfIn tracing the history of this work it seemed necessary to describe thecondition of woman in Syria when the missionaries first arrived and toexamine the different religious systems which affect her positionIn preparing the chapter on the PreIslamic Arabs I have found valuablematerials in Chenerys Hariri Sales and Rodwells Koran and FreytagsArabic ProverbsFor the facts about the Druze religion I have consulted ColChurchills Works Mount Lebanon and several Arabic manuscripts in themission library in BeirûtRev S Lydes interesting book called the Asian Mystery has given methe principal items with regard to the Nusairîyeh religion Thisconfirms the statements of Suleiman Effendi whose tract revealing thesecrets of the Nusairîyeh faith was printed years ago at the MissionPress in Beirût and translated by that ripe Arabic Scholar Prof ESalisbury of New Haven The bloody Nusairîyeh never forgave Suleiman forrevealing their mysteries and having invited him to a feast in avillage near Adana 1871 brutally buried him alive in a dunghillFor the historical statements of this volume I am indebted to the filesof the Missionary Herald the Annual Reports of the Syria Mission thearchives of the mission in Beirût the memoir of Mrs Sarah L Smithand private letters from Mrs Whiting Mrs De Forest and variousmissionary and native friendsInformation on the general work of the Syrian Mission may be found inDr Andersons Missions to the Oriental churches Rev Isaac BirdsBible Work in Bible Lands and the pamphlet sketches of Rev T Laurieand Rev James S DennisThe specimens of poetry from ancient Arabic poetesses have beengathered from printed and manuscript volumes and from

Arabic were electrotyped in Beirût by Mr Samuel Hallockthe skilful superintendent of the American PressI send out this record of the work carried on in Syria with deepgratitude for all that the Lord has done and with an ardent desire thatit may be the means of bringing this great field more vividly before theminds of Christian people of wakening warmer devotion to the missionarycause and so of

1899BY D APPLETON AND COMPANY_All rights reserved_PREFACEIn studying the rise of this curious sect I have discovered that certainmisconceptions concerning it are deeply rooted in the minds of many ofthe more earnest of the wellwishers to society Some otherwisewellinformed people hold Mormonism to be synonymous with polygamybelieve that Brigham Young was its chief prophet and are convinced thatthe miseries of oppressed women and tyrannies exercised over helplesssubjects of both sexes are the only themes that the religion of morethan two hundred thousand people can afford When I have ventured inconversation to deny these somewhat fabulous notions it has beenearnestly suggested to me that to write on so false a religion in otherthan a polemic spirit would tend to the undermining of civilised lifeIn spite of these warnings and although I know it to be a mostdangerous commodity I have ventured to offer the simple truth as faras I have been able to discern it consoling my advisers with theassurance that its insidious influence will be unlikely to do harmbecause however potent may be the direful latitude of other religiousnovels this particular book can only interest those wiser folk who arebest able to deal with itAs however to many who have preconceived the case this narrativemight in the absence of explanation seem purely fanciful let mebriefly refer to the historical facts on which it is based The Mormonsrevere but one prophet As to his identity there can be no mistakesince many of the revelations were addressed to him by nameToJoseph Smith Junior He never saw Utah and his public teachings werefor the most part unexceptionable Taking necessary liberty withincidents I have endeavoured to present Smiths character as I found itin his own writings in the narratives of contemporary writers and inthe memories of the older inhabitants of KirtlandIn reviewing the evidence I am unable to believe that had Smithsdoctrine been conscious invention it would have lent sufficient powerto carry him through persecutions in which his life hung in thebalance and his cause appeared to be lost or that the class of earnestmen who constituted the rank and file of his early following would havebeen so long deceived by a deliberate hypocrite It appears to me morelikely that Smith was genuinely deluded by the automatic freaks of avigorous but undisciplined brain and that yielding to these he becameconfirmed in the hysterical temperament which always adds to delusionselfdeception and to selfdeception halfconscious fraud In his dayit was necessary to reject a marvel or admit its spiritual significancegranting an honest delusion as to his visions and his book his onlychoice lay between counting himself the sport of devils or the agent ofHeaven an optimistic temperament cast the dieIn describing the persecutions of his early followers I have modifiedrather than enlarged upon the facts It would indeed be difficult toexaggerate the sufferings of this unhappy and extraordinarily successfulsectA large division of the Mormons of today who claim to be Smithsorthodox following and who have never settled in Utah are strictlymonogamous These have never owned Brigham Young as a leader nevermurdered their neighbours or defied the law in any way and so vigoroustheir growth still appears that they claim to have increased theirnumber by fifty thousand since the last census in 1890 Of all theircharacteristics the sincerity of their belief is the most striking InOhio when one of the preachers of these Smithite Mormons wasconducting me through the manystoried temple still standing huge andgray on Kirtland Bluff he laid his hand on a pile of copies of the Bookof Mormon saying solemnly Sister here is the solidest thing inreligion that youll find anywhere I bought the solidest thing forfifty cents and do not advise the same outlay to others The prophetslife is more marvellous and more instructive than the book whoseproduction was its chief triumph That it was an original productionseems probable as the recent discovery of the celebrated Spaldingmanuscript and a critical examination of the evidence of Mrs Spaldinggo far to discredit the popular accusation of plagiarismNear Kirtland I visited a sweetfaced old ladynot however of theMormon persuasionwho as a child had climbed on the prophets knee Mymother always said she told us that if she had to die and leaveyoung children she would rather have left them to Joseph Smith than toany one else in the world he was always kind This testimony as toSmiths kindheartedness I found to be often repeated in the annals ofMormon familiesIn criticising my former stories several reviewers some of themdistinguished in letters have done me the honour to remark that therewas latent laughter in many of my scenes and conversations but that Iwas unconscious of it Be that as it may those who enjoy unconsciousabsurdity will certainly find it in the utterances of the selfstyledprophet of the Mormons Probably one gleam of the sacred fire of humourwould have saved him and his apostles the very unnecessary trouble ofbeing Mormons at allIn looking over the problems involved in such a career as Smiths wemust be struck by the necessity for able and unprejudiced research intothe laws which govern apparent marvels Notwithstanding the very naturaland sometimes justifiable aspersions which have been cast upon the workof the Society for Psychical Research it does appear that thedisinterested service rendered by its more distinguished members is theonly attempt hitherto made to aid people of the socalled mediumistictemperament to understand rather than be swayed by their delusionsWhether such a result is as yet possible or not Mormonism affords agigantic proof of the crying need of an effort in this direction formen are obviously more ignorant of their own elusive mental conditionsthan of any other branch of knowledgeLDMONTREAL December 1898THE MORMON PROPHET_BOOK I_CHAPTER IIn the

Produced by Anthony J AdamEMILE ZOLAbyWilliam Dean HowellsIn these times of electrical movement the sort of construction in themoral world for which ages were once needed takes place almostsimultaneously with the event to be adjusted in history and as true aperspective forms itself as any in the past A few weeks after thedeath of a poet of such great epical imagination such great ethicalforce as Emile Zola we may see him as clearly and judge him as fairlyas posterity alone was formerly supposed able to see and to judge theheroes that antedated it The present is always holding in solutionthe elements of the future and the past in fact and whilst Zola stilllived in the moments of his highest activity the love and hate theintelligence and ignorance of his motives and his work were asevident and were as accurately the measure of progressive andretrogressive criticism as they will be hereafter in any of theliterary periods to come There will never be criticism to appreciatehim more justly to depreciate him more unjustly than that of hisimmediate contemporaries There will never be a day when criticismwill be of one mind about him when he will no longer be a questionand will have become a conclusion A conclusion is an accomplishedfact something finally ended something dead and the extraordinaryvitality of Zola when he was doing the things most characteristic ofhim forbids the notion of this in his case Like every man whoembodies an ideal his individuality partook of what was imperishablein that ideal Because he believed with his whole soul that fictionshould be the representation and in no measure the misrepresentationof life he will live as long as any history of literature survivesHe will live as a question a dispute an affair of inextinguishabledebate for the two principles of the human mind the love of thenatural and the love of the unnatural the real and the unreal thetruthful and the fanciful are inalienable and indestructibleIZola embodied his ideal inadequately as every man who embodies anideal must His realism was his creed which he tried to make hisdeed but before his fight was ended and almost before he began toforebode it a losing fight he began to feel and to say for to feelwith that most virtuous and voracious spirit implied saying that hewas too much a romanticist by birth and tradition to exemplify realismin his work He could not be all to the cause he honored that othermen weremen like Flaubert and Maupassant and Tourguenieff andTolstoy and Galdos and Valdesbecause his intellectual youth had beennurtured on the milk of romanticism at the breast of his mothertimeHe grew up in the day when the great novelists and poets wereromanticists and what he came to abhor he had first adored He wasthat pathetic paradox a prophet who cannot practise what he preacheswho cannot build his doctrine into the edifice of a living faith Zolawas none the less but all the more a poet in this He conceived ofreality poetically and always saw his human documents as he beganearly to call them ranged in the form of an epic poem He fell belowthe greatest of the Russians to whom alone he was inferior inimagining that the affairs of men group themselves strongly about acentral interest to which they constantly refer and after whateverexcursions definitely or definitively return He was not willingly anepic poet perhaps but he was an epic poet nevertheless and theimperfection of his realism began with the perfection of his formNature is sometimes dramatic though never on the hard and fast termsof the theatre but she is almost never epic and Zola was always epicOne need only think over his books and his subjects to be convinced ofthis LAssommoir and drunkenness Nana and harlotry Germinaleand strikes LArgent and money getting and losing in all itsbranches PotBouille and the cruel squalor of poverty La Terreand the life of the peasant Le Debacle and the decay of imperialismThe largest of these schemes does not extend beyond the peripherydescribed by the centrifugal whirl of its central motive and the leastof the RougonMacquart series is of the same epicality as the grandestEach is bound to a thesis but reality is bound to no thesis Youcannot say where it begins or where it leaves off and it will notallow you to say precisely what its meaning or argument is For thisreason there are no such perfect pieces of realism as the plays ofIbsen which have all or each a thesis but do not hold themselvesbound to prove it or even fully to state it after these for realitycome the novels of Tolstoy which are of a direction so profoundbecause so patient of aberration and exceptionWe think of beauty as implicated in symmetry but there are distinctlytwo kinds of beauty the symmetrical and the unsymmetrical the beautyof the temple and the beauty of the tree Life is not more symmetricalthan a tree and the effort of art to give it balance and proportion isto make it as false in effect as a tree clipped and trained to acertain shape The Russians and the Scandinavians alone seem to haverisen to a consciousness of this in their imaginative literaturethough the English have always unconsciously obeyed the law of ourbeing in their generally crude and involuntary formulations of it Inthe northern masters there is no appearance of what M Ernest Dupuycalls the joinerwork of the French fictionalists and there is in theprocess no joinerwork in Zola but the final effect is joinerworkIt is a temple he builds and not a tree he plants and lets grow afterhe has planted the seed and here he betrays not only his French schoolbut his Italian instinctIn his form Zola is classic that is regular symmetrical seeking thebeauty of the temple rather than the beauty of the tree If the fightin his day had been the earlier fight between classicism andromanticism instead of romanticism and realism

frailesfranciscanos situado no lejos de la ciudad de Sevilla casi en lamargen del Guadalquivir y en soledad amena vivía un buen religiosoprofeso llamado Fray Miguel de Zuheros probablemente porque eranatural de la enriscada y pequeña villa de dicho nombreNo era el Padre alto ni bajo ni delgado ni grueso Y como no sedistinguía tampoco por extremado ascetismo ni por elocuencia en elpúlpito ni por saber mucho de teología y de cánones ni por ningunaotra cosa pasaba sin ser notado entre los treinta y cinco o treinta yseis frailes que había en el conventoHacía más de cuarenta años que había profesado Y su vida ibadeslizándose allí tranquila y silenciosa sin la menor señal ni indiciode que pudiese dejar rastro de sí en el trillado camino que la llevaba asu término a una muerte obscura y no llorada ni lamentada de nadieporque Fray Miguel aunque no era antipático no era simpático tampocose daba poquísima maña para ganar voluntades y amigos y al parecer nien el convento ni fuera del convento los teníaEn vista de lo expuesto nadie puede extrañar que hayan caído en elolvido más profundo el nombre y la vida de Fray MiguelYa verá el curioso lector si tiene paciencia para leer sin

idées cest que dans notre littérature la fortunedu roman historique est indissolublement liée à celle du romantismeluimême Impossible avant le XIXe siècle il ne triomphe à partir de 1820que pour disparaître presque immédiatement après 1830 La vogue en fut unmoment prodigieuse elle fut plus éphémère encore De ce problèmedhistoire littéraire et desthétique bien digne sembletil de piquerla curiosité lobjet des pages qui suivent est dessayer une solutionNous y maintenons deux points encore sur lesquels on nous permettradattirer la réflexion du lecteurLa _Chronique de Charles IX_ a ici la place dhonneur et nous la mettonsdélibérément audessus de _NotreDame de Paris_ Non quil sagisse depréférer le talent très distingué sans doute mais dassez faibleenvergure de Mérimée au génie prestigieux de Victor Hugo Cest de toutautre chose quil est question La _Chronique_ a un mérite incontestablequi est dêtre un excellent roman historique cestàdire de tirer toutson intérêt de son exactitude de sa fidélité à reproduire des moeurshistoriques Et lon ne prétend certes pas que ce genre de vérité soitabsent de _NotreDame de Paris_ mais enfin sil y a de lhistoire dansloeuvre de Victor Hugo il y a peutêtre plus encore de poésie defantaisie dimagination toutes choses intéressantes fort précieusesmême quil sera prudent néanmoins de ne pas étaler avec trop decomplaisance dans un roman historique parce quelles le gâterontinfailliblement qui gâtent en effet _NotreDame de Paris_ et quiexpliquent ainsi que dans lévolution de notre genre cest loeuvrediligente du prosateur exact et non celle du prodigieux poète quireprésente le degré le plus voisin de la perfectionDe même nous persistons à croire que si Augustin Thierry doit beaucoup àChateaubriand il se pourrait quil fut encore plus redevable à WalterScott Bien loin dêtre téméraire et inattendue lassertion croyonsnousne doit paraître que très simple et très naturelle à quiconque voudrabien prendre la peine dy regarder dun peu prèset sans jamais perdrede vue que des influences étrangères se sont exercées alors sur notrelittérature avec continuité et profondeur Il serait par trop fâcheux dureste que lapplication dune

toujours oùretrouver preuves et justifications_ClermontFerrand décembre 1911_ LIVRE PREMIERLE ROMAN HISTORIQUE AVANT LE ROMANTISMESil est indiscutable que le vrai roman historique est une conquête duXIXe siècle il nen est pas moins certain que les Vigny et les Mériméeles Balzac et les Hugo ont eu des précurseurs dans notre littérature etque avec toutes les différences qui peuvent dailleurs les en séparerleurs ancêtres restent bien non pas seulement les Courtilz de Sandras etles Prevost mais même les La Calprenède et les Scudéry Les uns ont écritou plutôt ils ont cru écrire des romans historiques leurs héros ne sontjamais que des personnages illustres il ny a quune toile de fond àleurs scènes et cest toujours lhistoire la plus ordinaire enfin deleurs prétentions est de ne rien avancer quils ne puissent soutenirdirréfutables témoignageschose après tout fort naturelle personnenayant le ton plus affirmatif que le plus effronté menteur Mais pourridicule que soit la mascarade il est remarquable que tous cesromanistes comme les appelait Bayle obéissent dinstinct à une deslois du roman historique qui est de ne point prendre ses personnages dansune réalité trop voisine et donc en général assez peu poétique Orreculer leurs scènes jusquaux temps mal éclairés du moyen âge lestransporter même jusquaux époques fabuleuses de la légende romainecétait donner à leurs oeuvres lespèce

moins mal quoiquesans le savoir la formule du roman historique moderne et se rapprochentdautant plus du but quils semblent moins y tendre Au lieu dintroduirelhistoire dès les premières pages avec ostentation et fracas ils ladissimulent au contraire la glissent à lombre et comme à couvert deleurs aventures tragiques ou plaisantes nous ôtant ainsi et forthabilement la tentation et même le droit

THE BLACKBEARDED BARBARIANby Mary Esther Miller MacGregor AKA Marion KeithTHE BLACK BEARDED BARBARIAN 1 1 The name by which George Leslie Mackay was known among the Chinese of north FormosaCHAPTER I SPLITTING ROCKSUp in the stony pasturefield behind the barn the boys had been workingall the long afternoon Nearly all that is for being boys they hadmanaged to mix a good deal of fun with their labor But now they weretired of both work and play and wondered audibly many times over whythey were not yet called home to supperThe work really belonged to the Mackay boys but like Tom Sawyer theyhad made it so attractive that several volunteers had come to their aidTheir father was putting up a new stone house near the old one downthere behind the orchard and the two youngest of the family had beenput at the task of breaking the largest stones in the fieldIt meant only to drag some underbrush and wood from the forest skirtingthe farm pile them on the stones set fire to them and let the heat dothe rest It had been grand sport at first they all voted better thanplaying shinny and almost as good as going fishing In fact it was akind of free picnic where one could play at Indians all day longBut as the day wore on the picnic idea had languished and thestonebreaking grew more and more to resemble hard workThe warm spring sunset had begun to color the western sky themeadowlarks had gone to bed and the stonebreakers were tired andravenously hungryas hungry as only wolves or country boys can be Thevisitors suggested that they ought to be going home Hold on Dannyjust till this one breaks said the older Mackay boy as he set aburning stick to a new pile of brushThisll be a dandy and its the last too Theyre sure to call us tosupper before weve time to do anotherThe new fire roaring and snapping sending up showers of sparks andfilling the air with the sweet odor of burning cedar proved tooalluring to be left The company squatted on the ground before ithugging their knees and watching the blue column of smoke go straightup into the colored sky It suggested a campfire in war times and eachboy began to tell what great and daring deeds he intended to performwhen he became a manJimmy one of the visitors who had been most enthusiastic over thepicnic side of the days work announced that he was going to be asailor He would command a fleet on the high seas so he would andcapture pirates and grow fabulously wealthy on prizemoney Danny whowas also a guest declared his purpose one day to lead a band of roughriders to the Western plains where he would kill Indians and escapefearful deaths by the narrowest hairbreadthMebbe Im gointo be Premier of Canada some day said one youngsterpoking his bare toes as near as he dared to the flamesThere were hoots of derision This was entirely too tame to be evenconsidered as a careerAnd what are you going to be G L inquired the biggest boy of thesmallestThe others looked at the little fellow and laughed George Mackay wasthe youngest of the group and was a small wiry youngster with a pair offlashing eyes lighting up his thin little face He seemed far toosmall and insignificant to even think about a career But for all thedifference in their size and age the bigger boys treated little Georgewith a good deal of respect For somehow he never failed to do what heset out to do He always won at races he was never anywhere but at thehead of his class he was never known to be afraid of anything in fieldor forest or school ground he was the hardest worker at home or atschool and by sheer pluck he managed to do everything that boys biggerand older and stronger could doSo when Danny asked And what are you going to be G L though theboys laughed at the small thin little body they respected the daringspirit it held and listened for his answerHes goin to be a giant and go off with a show cried one and theyall laughed againLittle G L laughed too but he did not say what he intended to do whenhe grew big Down in his heart he held a far greater ambition than theothers dreamed of It was too great to be toldso great he scarcelyknew what it was himself So he only shook his small head and closed hislips tightly and the rest forgot him and chattered onAway beyond the dark woods the sunset shone red and gold between theblack tree trunks The little boy gazed at it wonderingly The sight ofthose morning and evening glories always stirred his childs souland made him long to go awayaway he knew not whereto do great andglorious deeds The Mackay boys grandfather had fought at Waterloo andlittle George Leslie the youngest of six had heard many many talesof that gallant struggle and every time they had been told him he hadsilently resolved that some day he too would do just such brave deedsas his grandfather had doneAs the boys talked on and the little fellow gazed at the sunset anddreamed the big stone cracked in two the fire died down and stillthere came no welcome call to supper from any of the farmhouses insight The Mackay boys had been trained in a fine oldfashioned Canadianhome and did not dream of quitting work until they were summoned Butthe visitors were merely visitors and could go home when they likedThe future admiral of the piratekilling fleet declared he must go andget supper or hed eat the grass he was so hungry The coming Premierof Canada and the Indianslayer agreed with him and they all jumped thefence and went whooping away over the soft brown fields toward homeThere was just one big stone left It was a huge boulder four feetacrossWell never get

by Joseph ConradLIST OF ILLUSTRATIONSYou will fight no more duels now FrontispieceBowing before a sylphlike form reclining on a couchThe angry clash of arms filled that prim gardenYou take the nearest brute Colonel DHubertINapoleon the First whose career had the quality of a duel against thewhole of Europe disliked duelling between the officers of his army Thegreat military emperor was not a swashbuckler and had little respectfor traditionNevertheless a story of duelling which became a legend in the army runsthrough the epic of imperial wars To the surprise and admiration oftheir fellows two officers like insane artists trying to gild refinedgold or paint the lily pursued their private contest through theyears of universal carnage They were officers of cavalry and theirconnection with the highspirited but fanciful animal which carries meninto battle seems particularly appropriate It would be difficult toimagine for heroes of this legend two officers of infantry of the linefor example whose fantasy is tamed by much walking exercise and whosevalour necessarily must be of a more plodding kind As to artilleryor engineers whose heads are kept cool on a diet of mathematics it issimply unthinkableThe names of the two officers were Feraud and DHubert and they wereboth lieutenants in a regiment of hussars but not in the same regimentFeraud was doing regimental work but Lieutenant DHubert had the goodfortune to be attached to the person of the general commanding thedivision as _officier dordonnance_ It was in Strasbourg and in thisagreeable and important garrison they were enjoying greatly a shortinterval of peace They were enjoying it though both intensely warlikebecause it was a swordsharpening firelockcleaning peace dear to amilitary heart and undamaging to military prestige inasmuch that no onebelieved in its sincerity or durationUnder those historical circumstances so favourable to the properappreciation of military leisure Lieutenant DHubert could have beenseen one fine afternoon making his way along the street of a cheerfulsuburb towards Lieutenant Ferauds quarters which were in a privatehouse with a garden at the back belonging to an old maiden ladyHis knock at the door was answered instantly by a young maid in Alsatiancostume Her fresh complexion and her long eyelashes which she loweredmodestly at the sight of the tall officer caused Lieutenant DHubertwho was accessible to esthetic impressions to relax the cold ondutyexpression of his face At the same time he observed that the girl hadover her arm a pair of hussars breeches red with a blue stripeLieutenant Feraud at home he inquired benevolentlyOh no sir He went out at six this morningAnd the little maid tried to close the door but Lieutenant DHubertopposing this move with gentle firmness stepped into the anteroomjingling his spursCome my dear You dont mean to say he has not been home since sixoclock this morningSaying these words Lieutenant DHubert opened without ceremony thedoor of a room so comfortable and neatly ordered that only from internalevidence in the shape of boots uniforms and military accoutrements didhe acquire the conviction that it was Lieutenant Ferauds room And hesaw also that Lieutenant Feraud was not at home The truthful maid hadfollowed him and looked up inquisitivelyHm said Lieutenant DHubert greatly disappointed for he hadalready visited all the haunts where a lieutenant of hussars could befound of a fine afternoon And do you happen to know my dear why hewent out at six this morningNo she answered readily He came home late at night and snored Iheard him when I got up at five Then he dressed himself in his oldestuniform and went out Service I supposeService Not a bit of it cried Lieutenant DHubert Learn my childthat he went out so early to fight a duel with a civilianShe heard the news without a quiver of her dark eyelashes It was veryobvious that the actions of Lieutenant Feraud were generally abovecriticism She only looked up for a moment in mute surprise andLieutenant DHubert concluded from this absence of emotion that shemust have seen Lieutenant Feraud since the morning He looked around theroomCome he insisted with confidential familiarity Hes perhapssomewhere in the house nowShe shook her headSo much the worse for him continued Lieutenant DHubert in a tone ofanxious conviction But he has been home this morningThis time the pretty maid nodded slightlyHe has cried Lieutenant DHubert And went out again What forCouldnt he keep quietly indoors What a lunatic My dear childLieutenant DHuberts natural kindness of disposition and strong senseof comradeship helped his powers of observation which generally werenot remarkable He changed his tone to a most insinuating softness andgazing at the hussars breeches hanging over the arm of the girl heappealed to the interest she took in Lieutenant Ferauds comfort andhappiness He was pressing and persuasive He used his eyes which werelarge and fine with excellent effect His anxiety to get hold atonce of Lieutenant Feraud for Lieutenant Ferauds own good seemed sogenuine that at last it overcame the girls discretion Unluckily shehad not much to tell Lieutenant Feraud had returned home shortly beforeten had walked straight into his room and had thrown himself on hisbed to resume his slumbers She had heard him snore rather louder thanbefore far into the afternoon Then he got up put on his best uniformand went out That was all she knewShe raised her candid eyes up to Lieutenant DHubert who stared at herincredulouslyIts incredible Gone parading the town in his best uniform My dearchild dont you know that he ran that civilian through this morningClean through as you spit a hareShe accepted this gruesome intelligence without any signs of distressBut she pressed her lips together thoughtfullyHe isnt parading the town she remarked in a low tone Far fromitThe civilians family is making an awful row continued LieutenantDHubert pursuing his train of thought And the general is very angryIts one of the best families in the town Feraud ought to have keptclose at leastWhat will the general do to him inquired

Wilmot concession surrounded thepowerhouse with his barefooted army and in a proclamation announcedthat for the future the furnishing of electric light would be a monopolyof the governmentIn Hayti as soon as it begins to make money any industry native orforeign becomes a monopoly of the government The thing worksautomatically It is what in Hayti is understood as _haute_ finance TheWilmot people should have known that Because they did not know thatthey stood to lose what they had sunk in the electriclight plant andafter their departure to New York which departure was accelerated asfar as the wharf by seven generals and twelve privates they proceededto lose more money on lobbyists and lawyers who claimed to understandinternational law even the law of Hayti And lawyers who understandthat are highpricedThe only employee of the Wilmot force who was not escorted to the wharfunder guard was Billy Barlow He escaped the honor because he wassuperintendent of the powerhouse and President Ham believed thatwithout him the lightning would not strike Accordingly by an executiveorder Billy became an employee of the government With this arrangementthe Wilmot people were much pleased For they trusted Billy and theyknew while in the courts they were righting to regain their propertyhe would see no harm came to itBillys title was Directeur General et Inspecteur Municipal de LuminaireElectrique which is some title and his salary was fifty dollars aweek In spite of Billys color President Ham always treated his onlywhite official with courtesy and gave him his full title About givinghim his full salary he was less particular This neglect greatly annoyedBilly He came of sturdy New England stock and possessed that NewEngland conscience which makes the owner a torment to himself and toevery one else a nuisance Like all the other Barlows of Barnstable onCape Cod Billy had worked for his every penny He was no shirker Fromthe first day that he carried a pair of pliers in the leg pocket of hisoveralls and in a sixtyknot gale stretched wires between icecappedtele graph poles he had more than earned his wages Never whether ontime or at piecework had he by a slovenly job or by beating thewhistle robbed his employer And for his honest toil he was determinedto be as honestly paideven by President Hamilcar Poussevain AndPresident Ham never paid anybody neither the Armenian street peddlersin whose sweets he delighted nor the Bethlehem Steel Company nor thehouse of RothschildWhy he paid Billy even the small sums that from time to time Billy wrungfrom the presidents strong box the foreign colony were at a loss toexplain Wagner the new American consul asked Billy how he managed itAs an American minister had not yet been appointed to the duties of theconsul as Wagner assured everybody were added those of diplomacy ButHaytian diplomacy he had yet to master At the seaport in Scotland wherehe had served as viceconsul law and order were as solidly establishedas the stone jetties and by contrast the eccentricities of the BlackREPUBLIC baffled and distressed himIt cant be that you blackmail the president said the consulbecause I understand he boasts he has committed all the known crimesAnd several he invented agreed BillyAnd you cant do it with a gun because they tell me the presidentisnt afraid of anything except a voodoo priestess What is yoursecret coaxed the consul If youll only sell it I know severalPowers that would give you your price Billy smiled modestlyIts very simple he said The first time my wages were shy I went tothe palace and told him if he didnt come across Id shut off the juiceI think he was so stunned at anybody asking him for real money thatwhile he was still stunned he opened his safe and handed me two thousandfrancs I think he did it more in admiration for my nerve than becausehe owed it The next time payday arrived and the pay did not I didntgo to the palace I just went to bed and the lights went to bed tooYou may remember The consul snorted indignantlyI was holding three queens at the time he protested Was it YOU didthatIt was said Billy The police came for me to start the current goingagain but I said I was too ill Then the presidents own doctor cameold Gautier and Gautier examined me with a lantern and said that inHayti my disease frequently proved fatal but he thought if I turned onthe lights I might recover I told him I was tired of life anyway butthat if I could see three thousand francs it might give me an incentiveHe reported back to the president and the three thousand francs arrivedalmost instantly and a chicken broth from Hams own chef with HisExcellencys best wishes for the recovery of the invalid My recoverywas instantaneous and I switched on the lightsI had just moved into the Widow Ducrots hotel that week and herdaughter Claire wouldnt let me eat the broth I thought it was becauseas shes a dandy cook herself she was professionally jealous She putthe broth on the top shelf of the pantry and wrote on a piece of paperGare But the next morning a perfectly good cat who apparentlycouldnt read was lying beside it deadThe consul frowned reprovinglyYou should not make such reckless charges he protested I would callit only a coincidenceYou can call it what you please said Billy but it wont bring thecat back Anyway the next time I went to the palace to collect thepresident was ready for me

well be questioned whether the authors of the _WideWide World_ have added to their fame by this new novel In thefirst place the story it tells is one of no marked merit ororiginality and the way in which it is told is in the highestdegree crabbed and unintelligible There is such an air ofpertness about every one of the speakers and the story istold almost entirely by means of conversations that thereader gets the impression that all the characters arereferring to jests known only to themselves as if he wereoverhearing private conversations As may be imagined thisscrappy way of writing soon becomes very tiresome from thedifficulty the reader has in detecting the hidden meaning ofthese curt sentences The book tells the love of Rollo forWych Hazel and indulges in gentle satire against

for a time tutors andgovernors had come and gone under an almost Carthusian vow ofsilence except as to their lessons and now with seventeenyears of inexperience on his hands Mr Falkirks sensationswere those of the man out West who wanted to move offwhenever another man came within twenty miles of himThus in the forlorn hope of a retreat which yet he knew mustprove useless Mr Falkirk let the first March winds blow himout of town and at this present time was snugly hid away in aremote village which nobody ever heard of and where nobodyever cameSo far so good Mr Falkirk rested and took breathNevertheless the spring came even there and following closein her train the irrepressible conflict Whoever succeeded inrunning away from his dutiesor his difficulties There was aflutter of young life within doors as without and Mr Falkirkknew it there were a hundred rills of music a thousandnameless flowers to which he could not close his senses Therewas a soft indefinable stir and sweetness that told of thebreaking of Winter bonds and the coming of Summer glories andhe could not stay the progress of things in the one case morethan in the otherMr Falkirk had always taken care of this girlthe few yearsbefore his guardianship were too dim to look back to muchFrom the day when she a suddenly orphaned child stoodfrightened and alone among strangers and he came in and tookher on his

PAGE 179THE SPLENDID STRANGER PAGE 235MILLY DARRELLCHAPTER II BEGIN LIFEI was just nineteen years of age when I began my career as articledpupil with the Miss Bagshots of Albury Lodge Fendale Yorkshire Myfather was a country curate with a delicate wife and four childrenof whom I was the eldest and I had known from my childhood that theday must come in which I should have to get my own living in almostthe only vocation open to a poor gentlemans daughter I had beenfairly educated near home and the first opportunity that arose forplacing me out in the world had been gladly seized upon by my poorfather who consented to pay the modest premium required by the MissBagshots in order that I might be taught the duties of a governessand essay my powers of tuition upon the younger pupils at AlburyLodgeHow well I remember the evening of my arrivala bleak drearyevening at the close of January made still more dismal by adrizzling rain that had never ceased falling since I left myfathers snug little house at Briarwood in Warwickshire I had hadto change trains three times and to wait during a blank andmiserable hour and a quarter or so at small obscure stationsstaring hopelessly at the advertisements on the wallsadvertisementsof somebodys lifesustaining cocoa and somebody elses healthrestoring codliver oil or trying to read the big brownbackedBible in the cheerless little waitingroom and trying O so hardnot to think of home and all the love and happiness I had leftbehind me The journey had been altogether tiresome and fatiguingbut for all that the knowledge that I was near my destinationbrought me no sense of pleasure I think I should have wished thatdismal journey prolonged indefinitely if I could thereby haveescaped the beginning of my new lifeA lumbering omnibus conveyed me from the station to Albury Lodgeafter depositing a grimlooking elderly lady at a house on theoutskirts of the town and a dapperlooking little man whom I tookfor a commercial traveller at an inn in the marketplace I watchedthe road with a kind of idle curiosity as the vehicle lumberedalong The town had a cheerful prosperous air even on this wetwinter night and I saw that there were two fine old churches and alarge modern building which I supposed to be the townhallWe left the town quite behind us before we came to Albury Lodge avery large house on the highroad a square redbrick house of theearly Georgian era shut in from the road by high walls The greatwroughtiron gates in the front had been boarded up and AlburyLodge was now approached by a little wooden sidedoor into a stoneflagged covered passage that led to a small door at the end of thehouse The omnibusdriver deposited me at this door with all myworldly possessions which at this period of my life consisted oftwo rather small boxes and a japanned dressingcase a receptaclethat contained all my most sacred treasuresI was admitted by a rather illtemperedlooking housemaid with acap of obtrusive respectability and a spotless white apron Ifancied that she looked just a little superciliously at my boxeswhich I daresay would not have contained her own wardrobeO its the governesspupil I suppose she said You wasexpected early this afternoon miss Miss Bagshot and Miss Susan aregone out to tea but I can show you where you are to sleep ifyoull please to step this way Do you think you could carry one ofyour trunks if I carry the otherI thought I could so the housemaid and I lugged them all the wayalong the stone passage and up an uncarpeted back staircase whichled from the lobby into which the door at the end of the passageopened We went very high up to the top story in fact where thehousemaid led me into a long bare room with ten little beds in it Iwas well enough accustomed to the dreariness of a school dormitorybut somehow this room looked unusually dismalThere was a jet of gas burning at one end of the room near a dooropening into a lavatory which was little more than a cupboard butin which ten young ladies had to perform their daily ablutions HereI washed my face and hands in icycold water and arranged my hairas well as I could without the aid of a lookingglass that being aluxury not provided at Albury Lodge The servant stood watching meas I made this brief toilet waiting to conduct me to theschoolroom I followed her shivering as I went to a great emptyroom on the first floor The holidays were not quite over and noneof the pupils had as yet returned There was an almost painfulneatness and bareness in place of the usual litter of books andpapers and I could not help thinking that an apartment in aworkhouse would have looked quite as cheerful Even the fire behindthe high wire guard seemed to burn in a different manner from allhome fires a fact which I attributed then to some sympatheticproperty in the coal but which I afterwards found to be caused by aplentiful admixture of coke a slow sulky smoke went up from thedull mass of fuel brightened ever so little now and then by asickly yellow flame One jet of gas dimly lighted this long drearyroom in which there was

THE SECONDFIFTH LANCASHIRE FUSILIERS WHO FELL AT YPRES ON THE THIRTYFIRST OF JULY 1917 I DEDICATE THIS BOOK Henceforth These are our saints These that we touched and kissed And frowned upon These that were frail yet died because the good Was overthrown That they in one dread hour Were terrible Stains not their sainthood nor is heaven less sure That they knew hell How beautiful they are How bright their eyes Their hands have grasped the key Of Paradise They hold it out to us Our men our sons To us The lonely ones THOMAS MOULT1FOOTNOTE1 Quoted with Mr Moults permissionFOREWORDNo doubt it will be thought that some apology is necessary for thrustingupon the public all this mass of matter relating to many persons andepisodes with whom and with respect to which they may feel that they arein no way concerned I quite realize that my action may appear strangeand uncalled for to the superficial observer But I do not hold thatview I personally have always felt a desire to read this kind ofliterature The Press does not cease to pour forth volumes of memoirs byleading and prominent personsmatter which is all wanted for a trueunderstanding of the history of our times But this is not enough Werequire all the personal narratives we can get and in my opinion themore personal and intimate the better We want narratives by obscurepersons we want to know and appreciate everybodys outlook upon publicevents whether that outlook be orthodox or unorthodox conventional orunconventional Only thus can we see the recent war in all its aspectsThe motives which have prompted me to publish this book have been wellexpressed by Dr A C Benson in his essay on Authorship in _From aCollege Window_ In that volume there occurs the following strikingpassageThe wonderful thing to me is not that there is so much desire in theworld to express our little portion of the joy the grief the mysteryof it all but that there is so little I wish with all my heart thatthere was more instinct for personal expression Edward Fitzgerald saidthat he wished that we had more lives of obscure persons one wants toknow what other people are thinking and feeling about it all what joysthey anticipate what fears they sustain how they regard the end andcessation of life and perception which waits for us all The worst of itis that people are often so modest they think that their own experienceis so dull so unromantic so uninteresting It is an entire mistake Ifthe dullest person in the world would only put down sincerely what he orshe thought about his or her life about work and love religion andemotion it would be a fascinating document My only sorrow is thatamateurs of whom I have spoken above will not do this they rather turnto external and impersonal impressions relate definite things whatthey see on their travels for instance describing just the thingswhich anyone can see They tend to indulge in the melancholy labour oftranslation or employ customary familiar forms such as the novel orthe play If only they would write diaries and publish them composeimaginary letters let one inside the house of self instead of keepingone wandering in the parkThese memoirs then consist mainly of extracts from my private diaryand my letters home during those memorable days spent in the Salientand its vicinity between the Battle of Messines and the Third Battle ofYpres The letters cover a definite period in the history of a greatbattalion and in the course of the war As will speedily be noticed thewhole period was one of looking forward practising and awaiting a greatday which we all knew was not far off but the actual date of which noneof us knew until it was almost upon us All this time our interestsand perhaps our fears were centred upon one man the unpopularColonel who few of us guessed in those days was destined to win theVC on the day going down in a blaze of glory which should everassociate his name with that battle With that day which was for manyof us the end of all earthly troubles and hopes and fears or at anyrate an end for many months the story reaches its natural terminationIn these pages I give to the public for what they are worth my ownpersonal impressions of the people and things I saw and with whom Icame into contact I hope I have revealed the late Colonel BestDunkleyto the public just as he wasas he appeared to me and as he appeared toothers I believe that in this I am doing right Paint me in my truecolours exclaimed Cromwell to Lely That is all that any heroandBestDunkley was certainly a herocan conscientiously ask And I amsure it was all BestDunkley himself would ever have asked He was abrilliant young man endowed with a remarkable personality It is rightthat his memory should be preserved and if his memory is to bepreserved it must be the memory of the BestDunkley we knewThe battalion which BestDunkley commanded has since his deathachieved great things and acquired great fame under the still morebrilliant leadership of his successor Colonel Brighten but we mustnever forget that it was BestDunkley who led it on the glorious day ofYpres and that it was the tradition which he inspired which has been oneof the strongest elements of esprit de corps in the 25th LancashireFusiliers All who served under BestDunkley remember the fact with acertain amount of pride however unfavourably his personality may

uomini vestiti di porpora io distinsi dal colore del molluscomarino quello del sangue che da Abele in poi grida vendetta alcospetto di Dioahi troppo spesso indarno Conobbi la ragione dellaoffesa e ciò che persuase il delitto al volgare degli uomini usi asupporlo colà dove colpisce la scure me convinse di sacrificio unicoal mondo Allora Beatrice mi apparve bella di sventura e volgendomialla sua larva sconsolata la supplicai con parole amoroseSorgi infelice dal tuo sepolcro dinfamia e svelati quale tufosti angiolo di martirio Lunga riposa labominazione delle gentisopra il tuo capo incolpevole e non pertanto reciso Poichè seppicomprenderti impetrami virtù che basti a narrare degnamente i tuoicasi a queste care itale fanciulle che ti amano come sorella poco anzidipartita dai dolci colloquii quantunque lombra di due secoli emezzo si distenda sopra il tuo sepolcroCerto questa è storia di truci delitti ma le donzelle della miaterra la leggerannotrapasserà le anime gentili a guisa di spada mala leggeranno Quando si accosterà loro il giovane che amano siaffretteranno arrossendo a nasconderla ma la leggeranno e tioffriranno il premio che unico può darsi ai traditiil piantoEd invero perchè non la dovrebbero leggere Forse perchè racconta dimisfatti e di sventure La trama del mondo si compone di fila diferro La virtù nel tempo pare fiaccola accesa gettata nelle tenebroselatebre dello abisso Fate lieta fronte alla sventura per molto tempoancora siederà non invitata alle vostre mense e temprerà il vostrovino col pianto Quando cesserete di piangere voi sarete felici Egiovino adesso le lacrime e il sangue sparsi imperciocchè il fioredella libertà non si nudrisca che di siffatte rugiade La virtù disseSocrate in contesa con lo infortunio è spettacolo degno degli DeiBisogna pure che sia così dacchè troppo spesso se lo pongano dinanziai loro occhi immortaliPensoso più di te che di me stesso io piango e scrivo Educato allascuola dei mali mi sono sacri i miseri I fati mi avvolsero finodalla nascita la sventura intorno alla vita come le fasce dellainfanziala sventura mi porse con le mammelle rigide un latteacerbo ma la sventura ancora mi ha ricinto i fianchi con la zonadella costanza per cui dentro il carcere senza fine amaro incominciaiquesto racconto e dentro il carcere adesso io lo compiscoSopra la terra si levarono e si levano soli nei quali la stirpe deiribaldi per

dibattendomi disperatamente e benedissi il giorno che ne usciiMa vedo che la colpa era tutta mia ora che ci ritorno composto a nobile quieteperchè guai a chi viene a Parigi troppo giovane senza uno scopofermo colla testa in tumulto e colle tasche vuote Ora vedo Parigiserenamente e la vedo a traverso allanima dun caro amico che mi farisentire più vive e più fresche tutte le impressioni dellaprima voltaEd ecco quelle del primo giorno come le può rendere una mentestanca e una penna presa ad imprestito dallalbergatorePrima desser condotto allEsposizione bisogna che il lettore entricon noi in Parigi daremo insieme unocchiata al teatro prima divoltarci verso il palco scenicoSiamo discesi alla stazione della strada ferrata di Lione alle ottodella mattina con un tempo bellissimo E ci trovammo subitoimbarazzati Avevamo letto nei giornali che i fiaccherai di Parigispingevano le loro pretese fino al punto di non voler piùtrasportare persone grasse Io feci osservare al Giacosa che noi dueeravamo fatti apposta per provocare e giustificare un rifiuto sdegnosodal più cortese dei fiaccherai Egli simpensierì io pureAvevamo indosso per giunta due spolverine che cingrossavanospietatamente Come fare Non cera che da tentare di produrre un podillusione avvicinandosi a una carrozza a passo di contraddanza einterpellando luomo con una voce in falsetto Il tentativo riuscìIl fiaccheraio ci rivolse uno sguardo inquieto ma ci lasciòsalire e si diresse rapidamente verso i _boulevards_Dovevamo andare fino al _boulevard_ degli Italiani ossia diritti alcentro di Parigi passando per la più ammirabile delle sue stradeLa prima impressione è gradevoleÈ la grande piazza irregolare della Bastiglia spettacolosa etumultuosa nella quale sboccano quattro _boulevards_ e dieci vie eda cui si sente rumoreggiar sordamente il vasto sobborgo diSantAntonio Ma sè ancora intronati dallo strepito della grandeStazione lugubre dove sè discesi rotti e sonnolenti e quel vastospazio pieno di luce quei mille colori la grande colonna di Lugliogli alberi il viavai rapidissimo delle carrozze e della follasintravvedono appena È il primo soffio impetuoso e sonoro dellavita di Parigi e si riceve a occhi socchiusi Non si comincia a vedernettamente che nel _boulevard_ BeaumarchaisQui comincia ad apparire Parigi La via larghissima la doppia filadegli alberi le case allegre tutto è nitido e fresco e da tuttospira unaria giovanile Si riconoscono al primo sguardo mille piccoleraffinatezze di comodità e deleganza che rivelano un popolo pienodi bisogni e di capricci per il quale il superfluo è piùindispensabile del necessario e che gode la vita con unarteingegnosa È la _buvette_ tutta risplendente di vetri e di metalliè il piccolo caffè pieno di pretese signorili è la piccolatrattoria che ostenta i ghiottumi squisiti del gran _restaurant_ sonomille piccole botteghe linde e ridenti che fanno a soverchiarsi leune le altre a furia di colori di mostre discrizioni di fantoccidi piccole gale e di piccoli vezzi Fra le due file degli alberi èun andirivieni di carrozze di grandi carri di carrozzoni tirati damacchine a vapore e domnibus altissimi carichi di gente chesobbalzano sul selciato ineguale con un fracasso assordante Ma èun movimento diverso da quello di Londra Il luogo aperto e verde ivisi le voci i colori danno a quel tramestìo laspetto più diun divertimento che di un lavoro E poi la popolazione non è nuovaSon tutte figure conosciute che fanno sorridere È _Gervaise_ chesaffaccia alla porta della bottega col ferro in mano è _monsieurJoyeuse_ che va allufficio fantasticando una gratificazione è_Pipelet_ che legge la Gazzetta è _Frédéric_ che passa sottole finestre di _Bernerette_ la sartina del Murger è la merciaiadel Kock è il _gamin_ di Vittor Hugo o il Prudhomme del Monnierè l_homme daffaire_ del Balzac è loperaio dello ZolaEccoli tutti Come ci accorgiamo che anche lontani le mille migliasi viveva nella immensa cinta di Parigi Sono le otto e mezzo e lagrande giornata della grande cittàgiornata per Parigi mese perchi arrivaè già cominciata calda e clamorosa come unabattaglia Di là dal clamore della strada si sente confusamente lavoce profonda degli enormi quartieri nascosti come il muggito dunmare mascherato dalle dune Sè appena usciti dal _boulevard_Beaumarchais non sè ancora arrivati in fondo al _boulevard_ delleFiglie del Calvario e già sindovina si sente si respira stoper dire limmensità di Parigi E si pensa con stupore a quellecittadine solitarie e silenziose da cui sè partiti che sichiamano Torino o Milano o Firenze dove si stava tutti a uscio ebottega e si viveva quasi in famiglia Ieri vogavamo in un laghettooggi navighiamo in un oceanoSi è fatto un po più dun miglio
