  • Vivisection from an Ethical Point of View
    VIVISECTION FROM AN ETHICAL POINT OF VIEW. THE EVILS OF VIVISECTION. From personal experience and a near relationship with hospitals, schools, biological laboratories, and experimental work-rooms, I know that I am right in believing that my scientific brethren ought to be supervised, cautioned, and re^ strained by a firm hand. Alas, I know full well, as myself a worker, that our work called Science, as now pursued, is not an end in itself, fails as yet to point out the solution of all life, and in the case of many of its votaries has produced a narrow- mg scholastic result. So thought in large degree, so lived in the inspiration of his research, so often taught by his action, my departed friend Professor Cope. To my mind the enthusiastic advocates of humanity and mercy, often weak of mind, hardly ever logical, are after all in the deepest sense right, because of no self- indulgent weakness have some of us encouraged them as far as reason permits, in the attempt to restrain and supervise the whole thing. Let them take it out of the hands of the conceited doctor, or the smart biological assistant. You know what I mean. With us your voice should speak. To shrink from cruelty, from the sight of torture as we shrink from a vile smell, from the ravages of disease, or an act of barbarism, as a thing to shudder at, as a thing that runs through you, and changes the heart-beat whether or no. This, to my mind, is an unfolding of the deeper meaning of that struggle to which you allude.

ANDREWS HONORARY FELLOW OF BALLIOL COLLEGE, OXFORD LONDON: CHAPMAN AND HALL 1901 LK TO CHARLES SAVILE ROUNDELL My dear Roundell, You have truly spoken of the Act, which forms the central subject of this book, as " a little measure that may boast great things." To you, more than to anyone now living, the success of that measure was due ; and without your help its progress could not here have been set forth. To you, therefore, as of right, the following pages are in- scribed. Yours very sincerely, LEWIS CAMPBELL PREFACE IN preparing the first volume of the Life of Benjamin fowett, I had access to documents which threw unexpected light on certain movements, especially in connexion with Oxford University- Reform. I was thus enabled to meet the desire of friends, by writing an article on " Some Liberal Move- ments of the Last Half-century," which appeared in the Fortnightly Review for March, 1900. And I was encouraged by the reception which that article met with, to expand the substance of it into a small book. Hence the present work. I have extended my reading on the subject, and have had recourse to all sources of information which I found available.

UMI 300 North Zeeb Road Ann Arbor, MI 48103 COPYRIGHT BY TERRY DALE THOMPSON 1996 ABSTRACT God's Special Way examines the relationship between Halle Pietism and the Hohenzollern monarchy in order to discern the nature and effect on Brandenburg-Prussia of that alliance. Halle Pietism was a reform movement within the Lutheran church in 17th and 18th century Germany that believed the establishment church had become too concerned with correct theology, thus they aimed at a revival of intense Biblicism, personal spirituality, and social reform. The Pietists, led by August Hermann Francke (1662-1727) , and King Friedrich Wilhelm I (rl7l3-l740) were partners in an attempt to create a Godly realm in economically strapped and politically divided Brandenburg-Prussia. In large measure the partnership produced Pietist control of Brandenburg- Prussia'a pulpits and schoolrooms, despite the opposition of another informal alliance, this between the landed nobility and the establishment Lutheran church, who hoped to maintain their own authority in the religious and political spheres.

The first section is composed of four chapters, each of which examines one of the four metrical traditions available to early modern writers (quantitative prosody in Chapter 1, rhyming verse in Chapter 2, syllabic prosody in Chapter 3 and accentual prosody in Chapter 4) and what Shakespeare may have brought or wrought from it.

  • A Letter Book
    A Letter Book By George Saintsbury A Letter Book THE HISTORY AND ART OF LETTER WRITING I ANCIENT HISTORY On letterwriting, as on most things that can themselves be written and talked about, there are current many clichésstock and banal sayings that express, or have at some time expressed, a certain amount of truth. The most familiar of these for a good many years past has been that the penny post has killed it. Whether revival of the twopenny has caused it to exhibit any kind of corresponding resurrectionary symptoms is a matter which cannot yet be pronounced upon. But it may be possible to avoid these clichés, or at any rate to make no more than necessary glances at them, in composing this little paper, which aims at being a discussion of the Letter as a branch of Literature, no less than an introduction to the specimens of the kind which follow. If, according to a famous dictum, "Everything has been said," it follows that every definition must have been already made. Therefore, no doubt, somebody has, or many bodies have, before now defined or at least described the Letter as that kind of communication of thought or fact to another person which most immediately succeeds the oral, and supplies the claims of absence. You want to tell somebody something; but he or she is not, as they used to say "by," or perhaps there are circumstances (and circumstanders) which or who make speech undesirable; so you "write." At first no doubt, you used signs or symbols like the feather with which Wildrake let Cromwell's advent be known in Woodstocka most ingenious device for which, by the way, the recipients were scantly grateful.

  • Tennyson, A. Mary F. Robinson, and Classical Meter
    Polymetrical Dissonance: Tennyson, A. Mary F. Robinson, and Classical Meter Ben GlAseR hat did A. Mary F. Robinson learn from her work as a translator of WGreek, Greek meter, and from her study of classical prosody more generally? What expressive possibilities did she garner from the study of a language whose prosody bears little to no resemblance to english, and whose adoption threatens to become less boon than boondoggle? What she learns, I will argue, is the power of irregulari ty and dissonance, of an english prosody which diverges from english metrical tradition and yet somehow remains rhythmically forceful. But beyond the technical achievement of her metrical translations, Robinson finds in her complex new prosodic technique a means of interrogating both her aesthetic and personal relationship to the world. Robinson’s re-tuning of english meter, ordered in particular through Greek choral meters and latin hendecasyllabics, diverges sharply from then contemporary accounts of both meter’s form and its function. This essay will show how Robinson discovers the linguistic possibility of creating a form of metrical strain by importing classical schemes and bringing them into contact with traditional iambic meters; it shows, furthermore, how this strain is anticipated (sometimes nervously) by contemporary prosodists like Coventry Patmore and John Addington symonds. The possibility of this dis- sonant prosodic form, adapted from classical meters, emerges in Victorian poetry most forcefully perhaps with Tennyson’s experiments with quantita- tive verse; while Robinson follows his example, inviting the kind of metrical strain found in Tennyson’s satirical and self-referential adoption of classical meters, she ultimately expands the value of this strain beyond the genre of riposte.

Annika Bautz Abstract: This essay focuses on introductions to editions of Austen’s texts published in the 1890s. By the late nineteenth century, Austen’s popularity and status as an author of canonical texts was beyond doubt. While illustrations to the various competing editions have received critical attention in recent decades, the other main paratext, introductions, have largely gone unacknowledged, yet deserve attention both because of their cultural significance and in their own right as critical engagements with the novels. The introduction writers were men of some standing whose contributions added weight to Austen’s texts. Their emphases on realism and humour in particular, as well as the predominant view of the author as a female genius whose art – especially her satire – had a masculine quality, but without ever seeing her as overstepping female boundaries, would have influenced many thousands of readers’ engagement with Austen’s texts. Keywords: Jane Austen, paratexts, reception, George Saintsbury, Reginald Brimley-Johnson, Austin Dobson.
