The one aim of things. In the words of Hazlitt, he found that the poet, says Wordsworth, is to give "immediate "wherever there is a sense of beauty, or power, or pleasure," an aim which he shows to be eminently harmony, as in the motion of a wave of the sea, in noble : the poet who fails to please his hearers fails as the growth of a flower-there is poetry ", Though a poet.

F. W. NIETZSCHE AND HIS PRINCIPLES.

Ji niHERE is an extraordinary chapter in Dos- toyevsky's "Brothers Karamazov," standing entirely apart from the main threads of the narrative, which records the thoughts of an old man, the Grand Inquisitor, in an old Spanish town, addressed to a captive of surpassing g1mtle­ ness, a figure-as in a vision-of Christ who comes among His children only fo r a moment. The hard, intolerant old Jesuit describes to Him the progress of Christianity since His appearance on earth ; he speaks especially of those three wonderful questions, the temptations, put to Him by the Spirit of this world, "the wise and dread Spirit," in the wilderness. "We are not working with Thee, but with him," says the old man-" that is our mystery. . . We took from him what Thou did'st reject with scorn, that last gift he offered Thee, showing Thee all the kingdoms of the earth. . . . Why didst Thou reject that last gift ? Hadst Thou accepted that last counsel of the mighty spirit, Thou wouldst have accomplished all that man seeks on earth-that is, someone to worship, someone to keep his conscience. . . . For who can rule men if not he who holds their conscience and their bread in his hands." This fable of Dostoyevsky-the Dostoyevsky whom Nietzsche introduced to German readers rather as a psychologist than as a Russian religious mystic with his doctrines of regeneration through submission and suffering-has a good deal of 52 Nietzsclzr- a11d his Pri11ciplr-s.

F. H. though this idea of the Superman, the doctrine of the elevation of man, may be criticised as resting on a wrong psychology, and as, in spite of itself, being based on the German notion of a self-conscious process, of self-conscious nobility and greatness, there can be no doubt about the position of Nietzsche's "Zara­ thustra " in German literature, by reason of the beauty and brilliancy of its language. For German critics do not hesitate, in respect of Nietzsche's unique place in Germany as a poet and artist. And those are not lacking who claim recognition fo r him, also, as a thinker and philosopher. It can be conceived, further, that in the future this uncompromisingly individualist philosophy of Nietzsche might become a rallying cry to the weak, to all men, to assert themselves against oppression. "I have been a fighter," says Zarathustra, the type of the Persian Zoroaster, with rare dignity and beauty. "I have been a fighter, only that I might one day have my hands free to bless. . . .

In his novel it is easy to see his disgust with the Simeonites and all their works ; what is more interesting, however, is to di scover that even at the age of eighteen, in his second term, he had not only written a tract showing his dislike of the "Sims '' but had even dropped it into their letter boxes as a counterblast to their uncouth manifestoes.

But particulars. his range of geological knowledge was far from being restricted to the Cretaceous System, for he took much interest in various physical questions and on the results of deep borings. His first venture in book form was a School Manual of Geolot;y, published in 1874, which has passed through more than one edition. Ten years later this was followed by a more advanced Text-Book, The Student's Hand­ book oj Physical Geolog1· (1884), of which a second edition has appeared. To this was added, in 1886, a St>tdent's Hand­ booh of Historical Geology, a re-written edition of which was published in 1902 with the title altered to Stratigraphical Geology. Of a more original character was his Buildi11g of the British Isles (1888), the seed of which may have been sown in a lecture room at St John's. A third edition, ·'re-written and enlarged," appeared in 1911. Much of his field work is, of course, incorporated in the publications of the Geological Survey, for which also he wrote a most valuable and comprehensive memoir on The Cretaceous Rocks of Great B1 itain, of which the first volume appeared in 1900 and the second in 1903. J ukes-Browne became a Fellow of the Geological Society in 1874, received its Lyell Fund in 1885 and its Murchison Medal in 19011 and was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1909. He worked on till within about a month of The J o!wian Dinner. 77

NOTES FROM THE COLLEGE RECORDS.

(Continued fr om p. 34.)

REQUENT reference has been made in these Notes to the fact that the general Register of all members of the College does not com­ mence until the year 1630. The College Order establishing the Register is as follows:

• " 1629-30, January 21: Ordered by the Master and Seniors, That the register of the College should have a booke provided him wherein he should from time to time write and register the names, parents, county, school, age and tutor of every one to be admitted into the College, befor� their enrolling into the buttry tables, and shall receive for each of them, for his pains as the head lecturer and deans do, for their admission.''

In accordance with this the Register of Admissions was started, the first name recorded on 30 January, 1629-30, being that of Matthew Whynne, "et solvit pro ingressu 6d." He was afterwards Registrary of the University. This Register, kept with varying care and attention to detail has been continued down to the present time. The Statutes of Henry VIII, dated

1545, prescribed that a Register should be kept of all VOL. XXXVI. K
