FOREWORD This is a true picture of a man lof eighty, looking back over a life that htas been characterised by devotion to m.any good causes. Not all those causes will be shared by all wlho read the pages which follow. They will not be read only by vegetarians, not only by those who ldislike professional sport, not only by t.ho.se who have a lurking mistrust of some of the fashionable tendencies of 0u.r time. For Basil Viney, during most od his life, ha,s felt strongly about many issues on which thoughtful opinion is divided. But - in telling the story of that life he has not lattempted to hide the strength of his feelings on these matters-and this is as it sh,oluld be. In a letter sent !to accompany the manuscript when it wae posted to .his publishers, he wrote : " I don't feel like toning things down. After all, it is me ! " Those who have known Ba.sill Viney t3hroughouthis Hfe, and those ,of us who are younger then he is, and so have been able to know -him only for a lesser tim-e, will, I am sure, agree that this book reflects him and his ideas honest.1~and whole-heartedly. That there are points on which we do not completely agree with him it would be fooli:sh to deny. To take one .smail example, I am interested in County Cricket, and 1 would not apply his strictures on profession.al sportsmen to .those w.ho halve given me much pleasure on the cricket field, whether in Hove or a.t Headingley o:r at Lords. But that he has always been haonest and .straight- fiorward, knowing that so'me of his feelings ,might be dubbed " cranky " by those who (do not completely share them, we would all hold as quite clear land obvious fact. The life of a dissenting pairson might seem to some people tlo be a not very exciting life. And Basil Viney's life, iln London, in the Lake District, in Wales and in Sussex, may on the surface to such people appear a quite ordinary life. Yet he has spent time in the United States, during an exoiling worth-while exchange of pulpits with #anAmerican oolleague. He has spent periods in Italy, where he became the friend of some of the most in,dependent- minded Italians. Closer home, with his interest in vegetarianism, with his feeling that free religio'n has to come t.o terms with the insights of the Spiritualists, with his outspoken pacifism, he has always commanded great respect, if only in that he has never hidden his views or trimmed his sails to the passing breezes of opinion. Chtapter 1. The Unitarian ministry has in its time commanded the allegi- ance of many people of differing points of view. Its ministers range over a wide spectrum of theological opinion, and it has been ON BECOMING ONE'S SELF possible for a man of near-Anglican views to remain go>odfriends q with another minister who is a near-Hum,anist. This is one of the glories of a free form of religion, without a fixed creed-though, here again, Basil Viney would not wholly agree, as he has often NCE and once only I took part in a curious c~rnpetiti~on.We felt that some creed could be worked out, on which ail Unita~ia~ns, were asked to bring photographs of ourselves as infants-as ministerial or lay, could come to ,agree. mere babies if possible-and we then tried to identify each other. For most if us it was quite an impossible task. Each one of us It will be sensed, from what I have written, that Basil Viney is knew his or her own-not thr,ough recognition. As for the others a man of firm beliefs himself. This book expresses those beliefs --mere guess work. Most of us got one or two marks out of a trenchantly and without any form of pretence.

My guiding intuition in this thesis is that the distinct historical evolutions of film and philosophy intersect in the speculative domain of the Western metaphysical paradigm, as the film medium technologically and aesthetically reestablishes conditions for “truth” within

  • Art. XII—Some Bhoj'pūrī Folk-Songs
    207 ART. XII.—Some Bhoj'purl Folk-Songs. Edited and trans- lated by G. A. GKIEKSON, M.R.A.S., Bengal Civil Service. ENCOURAGED by the reception of my former paper on Biharl Folk-Songs,1 I now lay before the Society a further set of similar ones, in the same dialect of the Biharl language,— the Bhoj'purl. Since the last paper was printed, the acquirement of this dialect of Biharl has been facilitated by the publication of a Bhoj'purl grammar,2 and it is hoped that when the set of dialect grammars of which that forms a part is all printed, and when the Comparative Dictionary of the Biharl Lan- guage,3 now being published, is completed, the requirements of the student will in some measure be fulfilled. The great want of Biharl is a printed literature. At present, owing to the Government preference for the exotic Hindi, all works of any importance published in Bihar are written in that language, though a few popular books are sometimes issued in Biharl.4 These latter are, however, few in number, and, though much admired, they hardly pay; for, practically, the only books that pay in Bihar are those patronized by the Government Education Department, which steadily refuses to have anything to do with works written in the national language. This is a great pity, for Hindi is only under- stood by the educated classes, and, even amongst them, is a 1 Some Biharl Folk-Songs, J.R.A.S.
