If the wine gave health and wisdom it would hardly be possible to spend too much upon it. I visit the homes of my forefathers at Hamerton, Wigglesworth, and Hellifield Peel. Attainder and execution of Sir Stephen Hamerton. Return of Hellifield Peel to the family. Sir Richard. The Hamertons distinguished only for marrying heiresses. Another visit to the Peel, when I see my father's cousin.
Did Hamerton see a fine plate? The shadow is heavy; the street is in demi, not total, obscurity; the values of the flying ravens and the shadow are clearly enunciated. The passage is powerful, even sensational, and in the Romantic, Hugoesque key. Hamerton is wrong. Meryon seldom erred. His was a temperament of steel and fire. The sitting-room was long and narrow.
Hamerton took occasion to ask me that night, when we were alone for a minute or two, what I was doing in the country. "I remember you perfectly now," said he. "Father Whitbread spoke to me of you, besides." I told him that I had nothing to do in town; and with His Majesty's consent was lying hid for a little, in order that what little was known of me might be forgotten again.
Hamerton set to work regularly at the "Graphic Arts." In the diary this phrase is repeated like a litany: "Worked with great pleasure at my book, the 'Graphic Arts." But at the same time there is a complaint that it prevents the mind from being happily disposed for artistic work. I have already said how difficult it was for him to turn from one kind of occupation to another.
Meadows set around with hedges; little rises of green hill here and there; cattle browsing by quiet streams; just such pictures as we may see in our own Midlands. I well remember a remark of the late Philip Gilbert Hamerton on this subject. We were strolling near his home, in the neighbourhood of Autun, one day, when he pointed to the landscape over against us.
The guilty men are high in the councils of this church. They hold the church up to disgrace before all the world. And this is the church of Christ, sir!" "But yours is not the way to go about it, boy!" exclaimed Mr. Hamerton who was alarmed because Samuel kept looking at him. "Why not?" cried Samuel. "Did not Christ drive out the moneychangers from the temple with whips?"
Nearness of Hellifield Peel and Hollins. The place we take our name from, Hamerton, belonged to Richard de Hamerton in 1170. I found the old hall still in existence, or a part of it, and though the present building evidently does not date from the twelfth century, it dates from the occupation of my forefathers. At the time of my visit there was some very massive oak wainscot still remaining.
This may go for a good deal. It supplies an answer to what Sir Erskine May says about the bad effects of equality upon French prosperity. But I will quote to you from Mr. Hamerton what goes, I think, for yet more. Mr. Hamerton is an excellent observer and reporter, and has lived for many years in France. He says of the French peasantry that they are exceedingly ignorant. So they are.
Towards the end of August, Mr. Thomas Hamerton and his sister Susan came to visit us.
T. Hamerton, she had become aware that it was not safe, and was afraid of losing the savings she had been able to make, for she had no control over the capital.
