Miss Anthony divided the winter of 1860 between the anti-slavery and the woman's cause. These speakers were in the employ of the lyceum bureau, but were so restricted by it that they could give their great reform, lectures only under private management.
Irving, in his farewell speech at the Lyceum Theater, on the 28th of July, made a point of bespeaking a kindly welcome for Miss Mary Anderson on her appearance at his theater during his absence, as the actress he alluded to was a lady whose beauty and talent had made her the favorite of America, from Maine to California.
On the first night the play opened propitiously enough with a loud laugh due to the only accident of the kind that ever happened at the Lyceum. The curtain went up before the staff had "cleared," and Arnott, Jimmy and the rest were seen running for their lives out of the center entrance! They used to say the same kind thing, "only more so," when Henry played Jingle and Matthias in "The Bells."
I stayed on, as every one knows, when the Lyceum as a personal enterprise of Henry's was no more when the farcical Lyceum Syndicate took over the theater. I played a wretched part in "Robespierre," and refused £12,000 to go to America with Henry in "Dante." In these days Henry was a changed man. He became more republican and less despotic as a producer. He left things to other people.
Will you remember to tell Zeus all this? and you may add that I cannot remain at my post unless he will pulverize the physicists, muzzle the logicians, raze the Porch, burn the Academy, and put an end to strolling in the Lyceum. That might secure me a little peace from these daily mensurations. 'I will remember, said I, and resumed my upward flight to Heaven, through
It was there that he went every year to pass his holidays with his mother, who had had the courage to send him away, just as during winter she had plunged him into cold water to the Lyceum at Grenoble, whence he would return to Saint-Laurent-du-Pont, "so thin, poor child!" as his mother said. And how fat she would send him back again to school, to make the masters ashamed of their stinginess.
Not by compelling himself to read or study against his inclination; for little will be accomplished when it goes 'against the grain. But there are means better and more effective than these; some of which I will now proceed to point out. Let him attach himself to some respectable lyceum or debating society.
It passed to his nephew Speusippus, who succeeded him as teacher, conductor of the school, or scholarch, and was himself succeeded after eight years by Xenocrates of Chalcêdon; while another pupil of the Academy, Aristotle, after an absence of some years from Athens, returned thither and established a school of his own at the Lyceum, at another extremity of the city.
'Let Aristotle call, and I follow to the Lyceum; Plato, and I hurry to the Academy; Zeno, and I make my home in the Porch; Pythagoras, and I keep the rule of silence. Then rose Demonax from among the audience: 'Sidonius, Pythagoras calls.
It was at this period also that Lincoln began to feel and exercise his expanding influence and powers as a writer and speaker. Already, two years earlier, he had written and delivered before the Young Men's Lyceum of Springfield an able address upon "The Perpetuation of Our Political Institutions," strongly enforcing the doctrine of rigid obedience to law.
