It is for this reason in particular that we are all becoming Socialists without knowing it; by which I would not in the least refer to the acute case of Mr. Hyndman and his horn-blowing supporters, sounding their trumps of a Sunday within the walls of our individualist Jericho but to the stealthy change that has come over the spirit of Englishmen and English legislation.
The Restauration Kueche on the other side was in flames, so was the stable of the hotel to the left rear. In this pleasing situation of affairs George produced a pack of cards and coolly proposed a game of whist. Kuester, de Liefde, and Hyndman joined him; and the game proceeded amidst the crashing of the projectiles.
We had been splashing and squelching to and fro, I did not know how long, when an officer arrived. He stood still for a moment and watched us work, and then he said: "The job's got to be done this afternoon, my lads, but I'll try to get you a day off to-morrow. Who's in charge of the party?" We pointed to Sergeant Hyndman.
"Nobody'll notice the difference." "I'm sorry; the S.M. has told me off once already for having too many men on my party. I can't let you stay." One after another the fatigue parties were called out and I fell in with my own, the last of all and about eighty strong. Sergeant Hyndman was in charge.

Already, in the days of the Six Acts, the government was alarmed by certain 'Spencean Philanthropists. According to Place they were a very feeble sect, numbering only about fifty, and perfectly harmless. Hyndman regards as a prophecy of more thoroughgoing schemes of Land Nationalisation.
Great men are as jealous of their thoughts as the wife of King Candaules was of her charms, and will as readily punish those who have, however involuntarily, beheld them in mental deshabille and exposure. "Leave the apartment, Hyndman," said the Regent, sternly, "and carry your observation elsewhere.
Hyndman or the horns of his followers; but by the mere glacier movement of the political soil, bearing forward on its bosom, apparently undisturbed, the proud camps of Whig and Tory. If Mr. Hyndman were a man of keen humour, which is far from my conception of his character, he might rest from his troubling and look on: the walls of Jericho begin already to crumble and dissolve.
As a conclusion to the present chapter I venture to give a short summary of the internal, and especially of the economic, development of Prussia since the Franco-German War from an article which appeared in the English Review for December 1914, by Mr. H.M. Hyndman and the present writer:
