Besides the oxen and fifteen wagons, was a mule team with the officers in charge. Three days after leaving Cape Town, the train drove into Wellington, fifty miles north. Soon after they entered the mountain, Bain's Kloof. They had great difficulty passing over this road through the mountains. Frequently they were obliged to double the ox teams on a single wagon in order to climb some steep ascent.
Morgan made himself most agreeable during those days of rehearsal, and if Jessie Bain's heart had not been entirely frozen by the frost of that earlier love for Hubert Varrick, which had come to such a bitter ending, she might have fancied this handsome, dandified manager. The company were to open their season at Albany, and at last the day arrived for Mr. Morgan and Jessie to start.
These confidences, however, were soon superseded by an exchange, between mother and daughter, of increasingly frequent allusions to the delights of Narragansett, the popularity of Mrs. Higby, and the jolliness of her house; with an occasional reference on Mrs. Carstyle's part to the probability of Hewlett Bain's being there as usual hadn't Irene heard from Mrs. Higby that he was to be there?
Her beauty, and her fresh, sweet simplicity and naturalness quite took the audience by storm, and the curtain was rung down at length amid the wildest storm of applause that that theater had ever known. The manager was delighted with Jessie Bain's success. The ladies of the company were furious, and they gathered together in one of the entrances and watched her.
Bain's book in its details, it is defective in some of its leading ideas. The first paragraphs of his first chapter, quite startled us by the strangeness of their definitions a strangeness which can scarcely be ascribed to laxity of expression. The paragraphs run thus: "Mind is comprised under three heads, Emotion, Volition, and Intellect.
And beyond this, some of the analytical passages that here and there occur, contain important ideas. Valuable, however, as is Mr. Bain's work, we regard it as essentially transitional.
This request was carried out at once, and within an hour the answer came back that Jessie Bain's telegram had come too late. No money having come in time for the girl's board, she had been sent to one of the public asylums, and while en route there, by some means she had made her escape, and her whereabouts was then unknown. Jessie's grief was great upon hearing this.
It is this last method, more slow but more sure than the other, that we shall follow; and we will commence by the study of matter. Disagreeable as it is to alter an author's title, the words "Soul and Body" had to be abandoned because of their different connotation in English. The title "Mind and Body" was also preoccupied by Bain's work of that name in this series.
These few notes, which I have taken in their integrity from Bain's text, allow us thoroughly to comprehend the thought of Aristotle, and it seems to me that the Greek philosopher, by making of the soul and body two correlative terms, has formed a comparison of great exactness.

This statement, I believe, refers to a complimentary reference to Bentham in the preface to the French Code. Works, x. 458. Bentham says that he reached these conclusions some time before 1809: Works, iii. 435. Cf. Ibid. v. 278. Works, x. 425. See description in Bain's James Mill, 129-36.
