T I MDC.CJDXX; v & LIBRARY 747290 UNIVERSITY OF TORONTO P II E F A C E Tins book professes to be only what its name a suggests study of Mill s Philosophy: its aim is to examine some ideas which underlie his work rather than to give a summary of his opinions, or a detailed account of his contribu tions to the philosophical sciences. In a book addressed chiefly to students of philosophy it seemed best to say little of the life or even of the intellectual of Mill and development ; where does occur biography its introduction is largely an accident. If my criticism or interpretation of Mill should seem to suggest philosophy other than his, 1 hardly feel impelled to apologise for vi Preface are never under this; for systems of thought stood except in their relations to one another. Eeferences to Mill s works are made to the most recent Library Editions, except in the cases of the Logic/ Political Economy, and Liberty/ in which it seemed better to refer to the original 1 People s Editions. In connection with the special subject of Mill s Philosophy, I have laid myself under obligations to the work of those who have preceded me : to the late Professor Green s Lectures on Mill s to Professor Bain s John Stuart Mill ; Logic ; to Mr Courtney s Metaphysics of J. S. Mill/ and to his attractive Life of John Stuart Mill ; to Professor Masson s appreciative and pointed 2 criticism; to Professor Hoffding s Einleitung unserer Zeit and in die Englische Philosophic ; 3 to the late M. Taine s delightful study. Other 1 Messrs Longmans, (Jreen, & Co. - with Criticisms V.

A. Halliday Douglas, of Cambridge. Part of it has also been read in manuscript by Professor Andrew Seth, of this University, and all of it by Professor Henry Jones, of Glasgow University, and by Mr J. A. Smith, of Balliol College, Oxford. I am indebted to all these for criticisms and and gentlemen suggestions ; my thanks are especially due to Professor Jones, but for whose help my work must have been still more imperfect than it is.

CLARK 2 Taylor, M.A. and Clark, R.D. 2016. Ichthyosaurs from the Lower Lias (Lower Jurassic) of Banwell, Somerset. Geoscience in South-West England, 14, 59–71. Two Lower Jurassic ichthyosaurs, lost in a 1940s air raid, are identified from archival records and surviving 19th century plaster casts distributed by their owner, the Bristol Institution for the Advancement of Science, Literature and the Arts. One was the type specimen of Ichthyosaurus latimanus Owen, 1840. The other, initially labelled Ichthyosaurus intermedius Conybeare, 1822, was the first ichthyosaur in which remains of the soft tissue of the tail fin were identified, confirming Richard Owen’s earlier prediction. Unfortunately Owen’s published account conflated the two specimens, apparently by the erroneous transposition of a passage of text. Owen possibly regarded the second specimen as the type of I. intermedius. In 1889 Richard Lydekker referred it to Ichthyosaurus conybeari Lydekker, 1888. For unknown reasons, he caused further confusion by suppressing the fact that both ichthyosaur specimens came from Banwell. Banwell is shown to have been a minor but significant source of Lower Lias fossil vertebrates, and also the type locality of the fish Tetragonolepis monilifer Agassiz, 1837, apparently from quarries in the lowermost Jurassic beds at Knightcott. The Bristol Institution assisted Edward Wilson (1808–1888) to obtain at least some of the West Country marine reptiles which his brother Dr Thomas Bellerby Wilson (1807–1865) donated to the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia, U.S.A.

Since my narrative explains itself, I have little to say here beyond accounting for a certain resemblance in these pages to the latter part of the work issued by my husband last year. After I joined him, we shared for the most part the same exj)eriences ; but we looked upon them from an entirely different standpoint. Many of my own sex who might turn from 'A Naturalist's Wanderings' because of the admixture of scientific matter, may find some interest in reading my simpler account. I have told my life as I lived it, with its interests and pleasures, its drawbacks and dis- comforts, neither romancing nor withholding. I may confess that I did not write these letters en route. For this I had neither time nor strength, as I was never one single fortnight free of fever after entering the tropics. The Till PREFACE. following pages are pieced together from letters actually written home, from my journal, and from recollections that can never be dimmed. I consider it an advantao;e to write when time has removed the exaggerations with which the mood of the moment mig;ht have distorted facts or influenced feelings ; while I have also had opportunity for maturer consideration of, and authentic information on, many points.

In particular, it describes and evaluates his role in the Church’s efforts to face major challenges relating to its relationships to the different world religions, its response to the First World War, and its attitude to the scientific disciplines that called into question some of its longstanding perceptions and suppositions.

The earliest discoveries were made by numerous collectors for whom palaeontology was a sec- ondary pursuit, and who were employed in the armed forces (W.

Also papers of his only child surviving to adulthood, Mary Florence (1860-1902, married William Compton, fifth Marquess of Northampton), and their extended family, especially Louisa’s mother, the Hon. Mary Frederica Stewart Mackenzie of Seaforth (formerly Lady Hood) (1783-1862). These individuals are referred to below as Bingham, Harriet, Louisa, Mary and Mrs Stewart Mackenzie respectively. The importance of the papers lies in the enormous range of the correspondents: politicians British and French, writers, artists. Bingham was an MP from 1826 until he succeeded to the peerage, and this, as well as his family of bankers and politicians gave him a wide-ranging acquaintance. Harriet too was deeply interested in politics, and also knew many writers, presiding over a salon and conducting a large correspondence. Louisa was a well-known figure in society, especially in the artistic world. Mrs Stewart Mackenzie was a close friend of Sir Walter Scott.

  • The Discourse of "Discovery" in Early English Writings on India
    From Imagination to Inquiry: The Discourse of “Discovery” in Early English Writings on India Pramod K. Nayar Department of English The University of Hyderabad, India Abstract This article unravels a discourse of discovery in early English writings on India, suggesting that this discourse works through three stages. The first stage constructs a fantasy of discovery about India even before the Englishman’s arrival in the country. This demanded a representation of Indian wonders and the wondrous geographical-physical expansion of England into the distant reaches of the known world. In the second stage a narrative organization of the “discoveries” of Indian wealth and variety was achieved through the deployment of three dominant rhetorical modes—visuality, wonder, and danger. In the final stage the Englishman meticulously documented but also sought to explain the discoveries in the narrative form of the “inquiry.” The “inquiry” shifted the discourse from that of India as a wondrous space to India as knowable and therefore manageable one. The sense of wonder modulates into a more organized negotiation, as a quest for specific information and as means of providing this information. Keywords: discovery, early modern, English travel writing, India, narrative strategies Colonial discourse constructed Asia, Africa, South America, Australia, and the Caribbean as objects and spaces to be evaluated, examined, and even- tually governed for exploitation and the civilizational mission since the last decades of the eighteenth century. Although early constructions of India or the East may not approximate to the truly “colonial” sense, the JOURNEYS VOL. 12 ISSUE 2: 1–27 doi:10.3167/jys.2011.120201 ISSN 1465-2609 (print), ISSN 1752-2358 (online) From Imagination to Inquiry representational modes deployed in European texts when talking about the East suggest a “proto-orientalist” tendency (Barbour 2003: 17), encoding a “colonizing imagination” (Singh 1996: 2).
