The Northern Review took his essay, "The Cradle of Beauty," and Mackintosh's Magazine took "The Palmist" the poem he had written to Marian. The editors and readers were back from their summer vacations, and manuscripts were being handled quickly. But Martin could not puzzle out what strange whim animated them to this general acceptance of the things they had persistently rejected for two years.
The house was very still. Walker was upstairs in his room asleep, the Chinese cook was busy in the kitchen, the two policemen were out fishing. The silence that seemed to brood over the house was unearthly, and there hammered in Mackintosh's head the question whether the revolver still lay where he had placed it. He could not bring himself to look.
Preface to 2 Inst., p. 6. Lingard calls these "thirty-five successive ratifications" of the charter, "a sufficient proof how much its provisions were abhorred by the sovereign, and how highly they were prized by the nation." 3 Lingard, 50. Mackintosh's Hist. of Eng. ch. 3. 45 Lardner's Cab. Cyc., 221.
Laws of Alfred, translated by R. Price, prefixed to Mackintosh's History of England, vol. l. 45 Lardner's Cab. Cyc.
Sir Charles Verningham is in Paris, by-the-way, so I have not seen him yet. Lord Robert was stroking the hair of the eldest angel, who had not gone to bed. The loveliest thing she is, and so polite, and different to Mary Mackintosh's infants. He introduced Mr. Campion stiffly, and returned to Mildred the angel.
This tattle is worth nothing, except to show how much the people whose names will fill the history of our times resemble, in all essential matters, the quiet folks who live in Mecklenburg Square and Brunswick Square. I slept in the room which was poor Mackintosh's. The next day, Sunday, came to dinner. He scarcely ever speaks in the society of Holland House.
It was only to be expected that Bob was not fit for much exertion after his experience with the muskeg, and it was Skipper Mackintosh's decision on returning to camp that the boy should proceed no farther that night. "But that will be a longer time before we get on the track of our fathers," protested Arnold, to whom the thought of inactivity for even twelve hours was irksome.
Mackintosh's moral sense is meant to distinguish the moral motive from 'expediency. To this, again, Mill has a very forcible answer. A man is blameable who makes exceptions to laws in his own private interest.
That strange desire to leave a prescribed task and set about something else seized me irresistibly. I yielded to it, and sat down to try at what speed and in what manner I could execute this job of Sir James Mackintosh's, and I wrote three leaves before rising, well enough, I think. The girls made a round with me.
"De La Fayette is so overwhelmed with work that I scarcely knew how to deliver even Brougham's letter, which was a letter of business, and should have thought it absurd to send him Mackintosh's, which was a mere letter of introduction, I fell in with an English acquaintance who told me that he had an appointment with La Fayette, and who undertook to deliver them both.
