He might call to his help the Fathers of the Church, but it was on Dante, Milton, Racine that his case was really based. The book is an apologia, from the aesthetic standpoint of the Romantic school. "Dieu ne defend pas les routes fleuries quand elles servent a revenir a lui." It was a matter of course that the defender of original sin should reject the doctrine of perfectibility.
"No, Frank," he answered, "it was kind of you to come to see me, I wish I could tell you how kind." "Don't think of it," I said; "if I'm any good send for me at any moment: a word will bring me. They allow you books, don't they?" "Yes, Frank." "I wish you would get the 'Apologia of Plato'," I said, "and take a big draught of that deathless smiling courage of Socrates."
Saintsbury, Dent and Co. , and various others. Novelist, was the sister of the above, who had a high opinion of her talents. She wrote several novels, including David Simple , The Governess, and The Countess of Dellwyn. She also translated Xenophon's Memorabilia and Apologia . Political writer, s. of Sir Edward F., of East Sutton, Kent, was ed. at Camb.
It was very far from his purpose to do that. He determined that he would prepare a little apologia on the subject, to send to his friend; and this was what he eventually despatched: "Your conversation with me the other day gave me a good deal to think about. What you said practically amounted to a charge of hedonism.

The unexpurgated edition of the Apologia may rank with the Provincial Letters; but the creator of Peter and Abraham Plymley stands alone. The meeting-house in Old Jewry was built in 1701 and destroyed in 1808. It "covered 2600 square feet, and was lit with six bow windows." Dr. Rees was its last minister. When it was proposed to exclude King's College from the re-constituted University of London.

Christ would not have said that if she had taken a niggardly spoonful out of the box of ointment, and dribbled that, in slow and half-grudging drops, on His head and feet. It was because it all went that it was to Him thus admirable.

With the introvertive tendency which we have ascribed to him, was joined a most subtle and speculative intellect, and an ambitious temper. The "Apologia" is the history of the practical working out of those various conditions.
Arthur Symons, has included in a book of essays recently published, I believe, an apologia for "London Nights," in which he says that morality should be wholly subordinated to art in criticism, and he uses the somewhat singular argument that art or the worship of beauty is the same in all ages, while morality differs in every period and in every respect.
This is his specialty, this is his clearest title to permanent fame. And although his criticism is so valuable, when employed on a sympathetic theme, that he must be ranked among our modern interpreters of literature, his style in expressing it could not possibly be translated into prose, sure test of its poetical greatness. In his Apologia, he says
