In more moderate and decorous language, Goldwin Smith wrote a book, the object of which was to show how desirable it was that this Empire should be gradually but steadily reduced to the sweet simplicity of two islands. Similar views prevailed very generally in the Manchester school. Cobden frequently expressed them.
On the evening of the day just mentioned Macdonald dined with Goldwin Smith. As we drove to 'The Grange' Sir John asked me if I had ever been there before. I had not. 'Well, said he, 'you are going to a very interesting house with a charming host, but notice Mr Smith's habit of interlarding his otherwise agreeable conversation with tiresome references to the nobility.
Thereupon a seal-ring which Goldwin Smith had brought from Rome and given me was used for that purpose. It was an ancient intaglio. Very suitably, it bore the figure of a ``Winged Victory, and it was again publicly used, many years later, when it was affixed to the American signature of the international agreement made at the Peace Conference of The Hague.
This is the great truth which the English people have to lay to heart." Mr. Goldwin Smith then dispels the notion that the Irish question is a religious one. "When Fenianism first appeared, the Orangemen, in accordance with their fixed idea, ascribed it to the priests. They were undeceived, I was told, by seeing a priest run away from the Fenians in fear of his life."
Thus Goldwin Smith predicts that women will be governed by priests, and then goes on to predict that women will vote to abolish marriage; not seeing that these two predictions destroy each other. On the other hand, I think that the advocates of woman suffrage often err by claiming too much, as that all women will vote for peace, for total abstinence, against slavery, and the rest.
Goldwin Smith, in an able article published in the Forum of April, 1891, on the question, "Will Morality Survive Faith?" shows at least that the best ethics which the world now has are the outcome of religious belief and of Christian belief, and he leads the minds of his readers to gravely doubt whether a gospel of agnostic evolution could ever produce those forces of moral prompting and restraint which the centuries of Christianity have developed.
One of the men was yelling at Petticoat: "Hop into my car, Bill, Don't see yours I'll tote the bride-person you've got there with joy and gladness." Warble looked at the yeller. "Can't quite place me, chick, can you?" he grinned at her. "Well I'm only old Goldwin Leathersham no use for me in the world but to spend money. Want me to spend some on you?
After a dispassionate review of the present situation, it considers the possibilities that lie before the colony federal union, independence, or reciprocity with the United States. All that Goldwin Smith was to say about Canada's manifest destiny is said here. His ideas and arguments are perfectly familiar to the Annexationists of '49.
Not an eyesore inside the city wall. Good work, I'll megaphone." Warble sat down in an easy-going chair so easy, it slid across the room with her, and collided with a life-sized Chinese lady of yellow stone. "Yes," Warble responded, "it's very uninteresting." Goldwin Leathersham was a great Captain of Industry. In fact, he put the dust in industry, or, at least, he took it out of it.
In the movement, which resulted in the governor's recall and impeachment, there was doubtless the usual amount of exaggeration represented by the violent language of one of Carlyle's minor biographers: "There were more innocent people slain than at Jeffreys' Bloody Assize"; "The massacre of Glencoe was nothing to it"; "Members of Christian Churches were flogged," etc. etc. but among its leaders there were so many men of mark and celebrity, men like John S. Mill, T. Hughes, John Bright, Fawcett, Cairnes, Goldwin Smith, Herbert Spencer, and Frederick Harrison, that it could not be set aside as a mere unreasoning clamour.
