All the boys appear to have been greatly profited by Squire Palmer's friendly aid; but none of them so much as Thomas, the eldest, inheritor of the family forge and farm." It was this Thomas who became grandfather of our Benjamin, and whose expressions in prayer we have quoted. Mr.

Perhaps, if you keep steadily in view the danger of his materialistic, unpoetic, and therefore untrue philosophy, the book may do you more good than harm; it will furnish you with useful exercise for your thinking powers; and you will see it so often quoted as authority, on one side as truth, on the other as falsehood, that it may be as well you should form your own judgment of it.

"'The weary roond, the deely task," quoted Tam, taking the steaming mug of tea from his servant's hands. "What likes the mornin', Horace?" "Fine, Sergeant clear sky an' all the stars are out."

It is a mysticism not without affinity to Mr. Wells's.

Mr. Mann, the editor, gave a full reply through the Journal, from which I have here quoted part of a paragraph.

"'God made man upright, but he hath sought out many inventions," quoted Robin, "and now we are going to seek them over again. I can't imagine how anyone could ever make a lineotype, but the type and the hand-press are easy enough, and if you can make paper, we may yet live to read our 'published works. You probably do not know that I used to have a Wegg-like facility for dropping into poetry."

I conceive that the original description related to one of those zodiac temples whose remains are still found in Egypt, though the Egyptian temples of this kind were probably only copies of more ancient Chaldæan temples. For the arguments on which this theory is based I have not here space. They are dealt with in the essay from which I have quoted.
