To Mr Reid, who, in conjunction with Lieutenant Burdwood of the Penelope, had been closeted with the skipper for at least two hours previously, was intrusted the command of one division of the boats which was about to be sent away, Lieutenant Burdwood being placed at the head of the other division.
For in speech the common sense of man, working unconsciously within him, meets the fully awakened philosophical consciousness.3 The way in which the two paths of observation have here been set out must not give rise to the expectation that they are discussed by Reid in a similarly systematic form. For this, Reid lacked the sufficient detachment from his own thoughts.
"Honest, it's Patches, Uncle Will," cried Littly Billy. "We seen him comin' from over beyond the corral," said Jimmy. "I saw him first," shouted Conny. "I was up in the grand stand I mean on the fence." "Me, too," chirped Jack. Jim Reid stood looking toward the corral. "The boys are right, Will," he said in a low tone. "There they come now."
"Sullivan will double-cross you in the end, Jack; he'll not even give you Mary," Reid said, speaking lazily, neither derision nor banter in his way. "Maybe," Mackenzie returned indifferently. "He'd double-cross me after I'd put in three years runnin' his damned sheep if it wasn't for the old man's money.
To adopt a distinction familiar in the writings of the Scotch metaphysicians, and especially of Reid, the causes with which I concern myself are not efficient, but physical causes. They are causes in that sense alone, in which one physical fact is said to be the cause of another. Of the efficient causes of phenomena, or whether any such causes exist at all, I am not called upon to give an opinion.
Here also are two canvases by Robert Reid, one almost Japanese in its effect; the restrained landscapes of William Sartain, and Charles Morris Young's sharply contrasting "Red Mill' and "Gray Mill," with his characteristic wintry landscapes. Reid and Young won the gold medal. In No. 46 are a half-dozen delicately handled landscapes by Frank V. Du Mond, a member of the jury.
Jim Reid shook his head in puzzled doubt. The cowboys were clearly divided. "He's too good a hand for a tenderfoot," argued one; "carried that off like an old-timer." "'Tain't like Nick to lay down so easy for anybody," added another. "Nick's on to something about Mr. Patches that we ain't next to," insisted a third. "Or else we're all bein' strung for a bunch of suckers," offered still another.
It cannot be denied, however, that the problems were cleverly put, and the whole of these syllogistical dialectics formed an excellent course of training. M. Manier mixed up with these ancient propositions the psychological analysis of the Scotch school. He had imbibed through his intimacy with Thomas Reid a great aversion to metaphysics, and an unlimited faith in common sense.
Reid and his successors were quite as much alive as Locke to the danger of falling into mere scholastic logomachy. They, too, will in some sense base all knowledge upon experience. Reid constantly appeals to the authority of Bacon, whom he regards as the true founder of inductive science.
Whitelaw Reid, and was beset by calls and invitations from the crowned personages. I have heard him give a most amusing account of that experience, but it is too soon to repeat it. Then, as always, he could tell a bore at sight, and the bore could not deceive him by any disguise of ermine cloak or Imperial title.
