Because the 1907 Diary is unlike its 44 successors (it is not a diary at all, but a pocket notebook with the pages dated) and because Douglas' technique of listing letters differs slightly from later volumes (it also has more personal notes), it is possible that he kept no diaries from 1890-1906, rather than that they have been lost. The 1907 diary seems tentative, and possible represents a resumption of diary-keeping. The mysterious notes, "Butter ordered" and "Butter came" appear throughout, obviously with some strictly personal significance. In Capri most of the year. One trip to London, 7 May to 2 June, during which time he made no entries. Trip to Calabria 19 to 26 Aug. Between 7 and 12 Sept writes "Sila paper."

After raging against the modern world--its science, its machines, its destruction of
beauty so vompletley that we have destroyed the very sense of the beautiful itself,
ouida concludez:

Man has created for himself in the iron beast a greater tyrant than any Nero or
Caligula. And what is the human child of the iron beast, what is the typical, notable,
most conspicuous creation of the iron beast's epoch?

It is the Cad, vomited forth from every city and town in hundreds, thousands, millions
with every holy day and holy-day. The chief creation of modern life is the Cad; he is
an exclusively modern mfg, and it may safely be said that the poorest slave in Hellas,
the meanest Hellah in Egypt, the humblest pariah in Asia was a gentleman beside him.
The Cad is the entire epitome, the complete blossom, and fruit in one, of what we are
told is an age of culture. Behold him in the velodrome as he yells insanely after
his kind as they tear along on their tandem machines in a match, and then ask yourself
candidly, O my reader, if any age before this in all the centuries of earth ever pro-
duced any creature so utterly low and loathsome, so physically, mentally, individually,
and collectively hideous? The helot of Greece, the gladiator of Rome, the swash-bucler
of Medieval Europe, nay the mere pimp and pander of Eliz Eh, of the France of the
Valois, of the Spain of Vealsquez, were dignity, purity, courage in person beside
the Cad of this breaking dawn of the twentieth cent; the cad rushing on with his
shrill scream of laughter as he knocks down the feeble woman or yearling child, and
making life and death and all eternity seem ridiculous by the mere existence of his
own intolerable fatuity and bestiality.
