The permanent principles of nature and society, which are beyond all laws, will decide the issue. But Manning's is a mere quack remedy. This represents one aspect of Fitzjames's character.
The Viceroy, the Commander-in-chief, and the five ordinary members conducted the whole executive government of the country. The 'legislative department' consisted of a 'secretary to the council of the Viceroy, for the purpose of making laws and regulations. The secretary during Fitzjames's tenure of office was Mr. Whitley Stokes, who had already served under Maine. During Mr.
But he was for a time more than usually vexed and anxious; and the fact could not be quite concealed. Fitzjames's comparative failure at Cambridge suggests to him a significant remark.
Alfred Lyall, he says, 'is one of the finest fellows I ever knew in my life. It will be, as Byron says of Pope, a sin and a shame and a damnation if you and he don't come together. I have dwelt at length upon these letters, because they seem to me eminently characteristic, and partly also because they explain Fitzjames's feelings at the time.
Fitzjames's strong patriotic feeling, his pride in the British race and the British empire, generated a special antipathy to the school which, as he thought, took a purely commercial view of politics; which regarded the empire as a heavy burthen, because it did not pay its expenses, and which looked forward to a millennium of small shopkeepers bothered by no taxes or tariffs.
He submitted so peacefully that she relented; called him back, and, discovering his name, apologised for her wrath. I cannot fix the dates, but during these years Fitzjames gradually came to be very intimate with her husband. Froude and he were often companions of the old gentleman on some of his walks, though Fitzjames's opportunities were limited by his many engagements.
He speaks in the warmest terms of his appreciation of the place, 'old and dignified, yet fresh and vigorous. Nearly his last visit was in the autumn of 1885, when he gave a dinner to the apostles, of whom his son James was then a member. Fitzjames's friends were naturally surprised at his throwing up the game.
People seem to begin by making the most cumbrous and unreasonable hypotheses possible, and slowly and reluctantly wriggling out of them under actual compulsion. That is not peculiar to lawyers, and may have a meaning even in philosophy. Fitzjames's comments upon the actual state of the law brings him to many important ethical problems.
Fitzjames's would, he grants, justify the Inquisition, unless its doctrines could be shown to be false or the means of enforcing them excessive or inadequate issues, he adds, which he would be quite ready to accept. Has, then, a man who believes in God and a future life a moral right to deter others from attacking those doctrines by showing disapproval?
They would rather cover their strongest emotions under some veil of indirect insinuation, whether of playful caress or ironical depreciation, than write them down in explicit and unequivocal assertions. That, however, was not Fitzjames's style in any case. His words were in all cases as straightforward and downright as if he were giving evidence upon oath.
