NOTES AND COMMENTS.

THE MONTHLY SOIREES.-It was a great pleasure on Monday evening, October 9, to see such a fine gathering of members and friends at the resuming of the Society's Soirees. Doubtless the full moon was an attraction, but the brigbiuess was ~lso inside as well, and everyone made the best use of- the too short time. A Shakespeare competition caused much fun, and songs by Miss Edith Lawrence were much enjoyed. We would ask everyone to co-operate in making Mr. C. J. Pollard's evening a success on November 6.-G. G.

THE ANNUAL CONVERSAZIONE.-On September 24 last mem­bers of the London Ethical Societies, the London Positivist Society, and the Rationalist Press Association met in friendly intercourse at a most successful conversazione. The proceed­ings opened on a note of disappointment owing to the regret­table absence through illness of Ml'. Graham Wallas, who with Mrs. Wallas had kindly undertaken to act as Host and Hostess. It was hoped that the services of 1\1r. S. K. Ratcliffe would be secured as a substitute, but he also was unavoidably kept away, and it fell to Mr. J. A. Hobson to fi.ll the breach and deliver the address on "The Present Opportunity of the Ethical Move­ment," a speech judicial in tone and admirably phrased, which we would commend to a larger audience. Some 'cello solos charm­ingly played by Miss Helen Mott contributed to a very enjoyable evening.-H . T. H.

DEFICIT EXTINCTION FUND.-Contributions to this Fund have been received from 'the following since the last announce­ment: Mr. Herbert Burrows, Ml'. F. M. Overy, Ml'. F. W. Read, Ml'. and Mrs. Richards, Mr. W. C. Wade, and Mr. J. Williams. The total amount received is £41 155. 4d .

tlze Editor. "MEMORIES." By EDWAlW CLODt). IChapman & HaJ]). 10S. 6d. net.

THE apothegm which Mr. Clodd has chosen for his title-page is borrowed not from Aristotle or Epictetus, but from Smith

4

Minor : "A friend is a chap what you know everything about, but you likes him all the same." "Memories" is indeed a book of friendship, though it is not without a pungent season­ing of hostility against all such "superstitious absurdities," such" abracadabra of ritual," such faiths and rites" obviously primitive," as Mr. Clodd considers, if not mere "Tom Tit Tot," then" Myths and Dreams." The friend Mr. Clodd tells us least about in a volume which he asks us to accep't as just "a fireside talk," frank and informal, broken and discursive, is the one whom he has known longest and, being a wise man, best-himself; though the others his memory lingers on, the letters they inspired, and the work and leisure they helped to strengthen, sweeten and vivify, reflect a pronounced personality.

There is, however, one brief introductory chapter of auto­biography. Mr. Clodd tells us that he comes of old English sailor and farmer stock. His own voyages and adventures have not been on the high seas, but in books. His childhood was spent at Aldeburgh. In those early days, he is thankful to say, unlike the present generation, he was taught to read the Bible, though it took him many years to discover the supreme value of what he describes-not with desperate destructiveness -as a "miscellaneous collection of writings of unseftled authorships and often of uncertain meaning." None the less, it was not the Bible so much as "Meditations among the Tombs" and certain" priggish and pitiful" hymns on the one hand, and 'the "Penny CycIopcedia," "Peter Parley's Annual," and" Buffon's Natural His'tory" on the other, that bent his mind, gave it a bias, in certain directions. An eternal hell allured his childish heart as little as an everlasting heaven. The Victorian era was 'the apotheosis of the British Sabbath, and perhaps served the cause of honest doubt far more effec­tively than half the creeds. In his youth Mr. Clodd was intended, by the mother he devoutly loved, to become a Baptist mimster, just as Ruskin's parents aspired to his some day being a Bishop. But on a visit to the Great Exhibition in 1851 he fell in love with London, and consequently jilted the ministry. To London he came four years afterwards, for good, quickly mounting 'to eminence" in the prosaic service of Juno Moneta." He read and he read-Carlyle, Darwin, Mere­dith, and the rest; sermons unnumbcrable he sat out, under preachers "now for the most l?art forgotten, who were a power in their day." But here agam, in an age when Nonconform­istism was the reverse of flabby and had many grievances to keep it sweet, it was on the one side Chalmer's "Astronomical Discourses," "The Origin of Species," and Kerchoff's and Bunsen's" Spectrum Analysis"; and, on the other, "Essays and Reviews," "Ecce Homo" (described by "that gentlest of men," the Earl of Shaftesbury, as "the most pestilential volume ever vomited from the jaws of hell "), and the works of the notorious Bishop Colenso, "who had a Zulu for a pal," which at last persuaded him to be an Agnostic. They tempted

5

him to repeat with caustic persistency such rather rudimentary inquiries as, Who was Cain's wife? and Whether children should be taught that all the people who came into the world after the Fall would, "save eight persons, act so wickedly as to cause God to drown them" ? :

Perhaps I have said enough to explain how I came to write" The Childhood of the World." ... I do not regret that this was done while I was still a Theist, because this secured the book a hearing which it would certainly have lacked had it been written fr'Jm an Agnostic standpoint. As it was, it "caught on.", It found a large public, not only here, but in America, where several pirate publishers captured it. Application for permission to translate it into Con'tinental languages . . . followed; then into some "heathen" tongues; and what gave me special satisfaction, a request to allow it 'to be embossed for the blind.

Mr. Cl odd does not say whether on this score he was ever, like Newman, taunted with Jesuitism. "Of the immediate personal," he adds, "little more need be said." Nothing, indeed, could be clearer in this book 'than Mr. Clodd's intense interest in questions of religion. His zeal far surpasses that of the orthodox. He describes his friend Moncure Conway as "passing from creed to creed, each being in turn more liberal than the one abandoned." A schoolboy paying tribute to an uncle's tips could nol be more ecstatic. With a profound indignation he refutes the assertion that Romanes or Huxley or George Gissing changed their faith in their last days. "The lie must be nailed to the counter." When he tells how "'the death of a darling boy" enkindled a hope of immortality in Richard Proctor's mind, that hope is dismissed as a per­version. Alfred Russel Wallace's psychicalism is merely' his credulous way." As for Sir Oliver Lodge, "one can only sigh and say, 'Ephraim is joined to his idols, let him alone.' " The unkindest cut of all, however, is reserved for a friend who has also lately published a delighlful volume of reminiscence. Mr. Clodd tells us that Mr. Edward Carpenter in his later life was convinced of the existence of the soul by the curious and seductive fact that" the body weighs three-quarters of an ounce less immediately after death." The delicious comment on this endearing little nGzvete must be given in full. "But Edward Carpenter, to whose' Civilisation: Its Cause and Cure' and 'Love's Coming of Age' I desire to pay tribute, is a man of poetic temperament; he carries no weight in scientinc matters."

Mr. Clodd's "Memories," perhaps, carry rather too much weight in controversial matters. Even acrimony is no't entirely absent. But we hasten to add that otherwise they are almost as crowded with jests as was Yorick's skull. Mr. Clodd enor­mously enjoys a good story. That enjoyment, alas! one is tempted to think, is almost as Victorian as was the indignation of our grandmothers at the thought of a family tree capable of affording shel'ter to "the missing link." Not all Mr. Clodd's

6

witticisms are of sovereign merit. Many are pointed, some are blunt, a few, we regret to say, must be left for the reader's own privy discovery. Louis Becke's authentic photograph of a "oonverted" Australian black fellow is one that will not amuse everybody, but then not everybody is capable of being amused. Next best of its kind is the letter which a late Rector of Boulge addressed to Mr. Clodd as representative of the Omar Khayyam Club, when that versatile and elect con­fraternity pleaded for permission to plant a rosebush or two from the tomb of their remote founder above the las't resting­place of Edward Fitzgerald.

Another little prize with a literary tinge has been borrowed from Professor Ward Howe:

An Englishman travelling for the first time 'to the" hub of culture" (the flattering term has ceased to be applicable) asked the ticket collector, as the train neared the station, whether it was Boston. "Yes, sir." "Well, I am wonder­ing, because I hear an odd sort of hum as of a big city, but it is unlike any other." "Yes, sir; what you hear is the Bostonians reading Browning."

An appendix to this is supplied by Grant Allen, who in one of his novels remarked that Browning was "splendid for the nerves." A day or two after a sufferer inquired:

Dear Sir ,-Pardon the liberty I am taking. In your clever slory of "The Great Ruby Robbery" you mention Browning being splendid for the nerves. Is 'there such a thing, would you give me the address to obtain? I am a dreadful sufferer of nervousness. Under such circum­stances will you accept my apology for troubling?

But Mr. Clodd's duff is fully and richly as entertaining as his plums. He was, at least, catholic in friendship, and delights in its ritual. Huxley and Andrew Lang! Spencer and Mere­dith; George Gissing and Holman Hunt; H. W. Bates and Samuel Butler; the ~oluble, excitable Lady Burton and her spooks, the gay, the gallant, the adorable Mary Kingslcy and her J u-J us-one by one he recalls men and women so diverse and independent as these, and a score of others, to remem­brance. There is no plan in his book. He talks as fancy leads or caprice suggests. On religion, the queen bee, so to speak, in a revered bonnet, perhaps Charles Anderson, once the eccen­tric Vicar of St. John's, Limehouse, comes to the wisest con­clusion, apropos of such utterly different human beings as Huxley and Newman:

Wha't man is, what he will be, what is well for him, what is possible for him, all this gets quite another answer from these opposite attitudes of inquiry. Each system offers its own admixture of loss and gain .... Unhappily, at the present moment we are firmly seated nowhere-but tend to fall between 'the two stools. We have neither the

7

faith, poetry, and moral force of the supernatural past, nor the sound logic, social axioms, and easy fatalism of the scientific future

That was in 1888. As regards philosophy, the loveliest little thing in the book comes from J. Allanson Picton's "Reli­gions of the Universe." "Sir," inquired a little girl of him once, "please tell me why there was ever anything at all?" "My dear," I replied, "I really do not know, but here the things arc, and we must make the best of them."

Correspondenceo Responsibility for the opinions expressed u,/der this heading rests solely

with the writers.

To the Editor of the ?IIONTITLV LIST.

DEAR SIR,-I wish to draw the attention of your readers to the Sewing Meetings for the L.e.e. School Treat.
