Prior to this in the same year, he had lectured upon Missions in Westminster Abbey, and in the preceding year he had performed the melancholy duty of identifying the remains of his son-in-law, Dr. Livingstone, upon their being brought home from Africa. Engagements and constant requests for his services made great inroads upon his time.
Not only in the "Epistle Dedicatory" to his sermon when it was printed did Mr. First, he said, there were those who would allow nothing to be jure divino in the Church, but held that all matters of Church-constitution were to be settled by mere prudence and State-convenience in other words, the Erastians, They are lectured, but are let off more easily than the second sort of underminers: viz.
"But look here, Colonel Lee, I'm damned if I can agree with you, sir! Suppose Slavery is wrong an economic fallacy and a social evil I don't say it is, mind you. Just suppose for the sake of argument that it is. We don't propose to be lectured on this subject by our inferiors in the North. The children of the men who stole these slaves from Africa and sold them to us at a profit!"
It was the first time that his devoted guardian had ever heard him in public, and he reports the significant fact that though Coleridge lectured from notes, which he had carefully made, "it was obvious that his audience were more delighted when, putting his notes aside, he spoke extempore...." He was brilliant, fluent, and rapid; his words seemed to flow as from a person repeating with grace and energy some delightful poem.
I'd just as soon be a little sick if you'll let me have it." The "fairyland of science and the long results of time," passing from the Bishop's hands into the child's, were turned into such graphic tales, for Eleanor, with all her airy charm, struck straight from the shoulder. Never was there a sense of superiority on the Bishop's side, or of being lectured on Eleanor's.
I held a debate in Lincoln with Bixbee, of the Journal, a rank republican, who used only ridicule and satire, for he had no argument of course. I lectured for and with the "Red Ribbon Alliance" there who were so faithfully working and praying for the abolition of the saloon. The spring election in Lincoln was for prohibition but lost by sixty votes.
He wrote a book after that, but the publishers failed, and Mallencroft couldn't even find a copy of it. That must have been about the time you saw him when he lectured on 'Life. Poor old Hendry! It's his pride, his confounded pride that's the trouble." I had risen. Rufus Blight came to me and laid a hand on each of my shoulders. What a change since that day long ago!
By this privileged body the great mass of the population is lectured every week from the chair of authority. To this privileged body has been committed the supreme direction of liberal education. Oxford and Cambridge, Westminster, Winchester, and Eton, are under priestly government. By the priesthood will to a great extent be formed the character of the nobility and gentry of the next generation.
Burton and his wife reached London on July 27th . Presently we hear of them in Ireland, where they are the guests of Lord Talbot of Malahide, and later he lectured at various places on "Midian" and "Ogham Runes." Again Gordon tried to draw him to Africa, this time with the offer of £5,000 a year, but the answer was the same as before.
"Heaven forfend!" exclaimed Mr. Marsh. Marise was amused. "Oh, you've been lectured to on local history, I see," she surmised. "I found it very interesting," said Mr. Welles, loyally. "Though perhaps he does try to give you a little too much at one sitting." "Mr. Welles," said Paul, with his mouth full, "fishing season begins in ten days."
