Excerpt from Memoir of Madame Jenny Lind-Goldschmidt, Vol. 1 of 2: Her Early Art-Life and Dramatic Career, 1820-1851 For the use made of the materials thus industriously collected, the two authors are solely responsible, and this general responsibility they have shared in common, so far as was practicable. But, within that common responsibility, each has undertaken separate sections of the work, so that to the one has fallen the story of Mada...

Excerpt from Henry Scott Holland: Memoir and Letters So many of Scott Hollands friends have helped me, that it is impossible for me to thank each of them here. Mrs. Ady, whose friendship with him goes back to 1870, was to have written this book: she and her daughter collected and arranged some of the materials for it: a long illness interrupted the work, and it was entrusted to me. I have given a full account of his early life, especially of ...

Excerpt from Some Theological Works What a portrait Holland might have drawn of himself, if only himself might have been someone else! Holland by Holland: brilliancy by brilliancy: sympathy and imagination in sitter and painter! As it was, it is the very last thing that he would ever have done. I never knew a humbler man. Words of compliment or praise to himself seemed to drop off him: he whisked them away with a sort of mixture of dislike an...

Excerpt from A Bundle of Memories This little book may Win forgiveness if its preventive and prohibitive purpose be fully recognized. It makes it finally impossible for me to write a volume of Reminiscences. It is wise to guard against this in time. For the period of anecdotage is fast drawing in upon me. And at any moment of weakness I might yield to a publisher's bribe, and the worst would have happened. It is the last dotty years that do a...

Excerpt from The Optimism of Butler's Analogy That challenge has been made, as yet, in vain. It has roused no concern, it has evoked no new examina tion of Butler's claims to philosophical importance. His work remains still outside the current of living speculation. Is it worth while, then, to go back on an issue that has been decided The case has been made with incomparable force, under unique conditions of power and pathos and the verdict ...
