The Dean's face was stricken, as though by horror. Yet Frank saw he had not in the least taken it in. "Yes; that's really so," he said. "Please don't argue with me about it. I'm perfectly determined." "Your father ... Lord Talgarth ... the roads ... your own living ... the college authorities ... responsibility!" Words of this sort burst from Mr. Mackintosh's mouth.
He had had numberless adventures, commonplace and sordid, with the women of the island and he described them with a pride in his own prowess which was an offence to Mackintosh's fastidious ears. He was a gross, sensual old man. He thought Mackintosh a poor fellow because he would not share his promiscuous amours and remained sober when the company was drunk.
The dogs had a rough time, and the daily distances fell to about eight miles. Mackintosh's weakness was increasing. Then on the 18th, when the party was within twelve miles of the Bluff depot, a furious blizzard made travelling impossible. This blizzard raged for five days. Rations were reduced on the second day, and the party went on half-rations the third day.
Mackintosh's name had been mentioned in connection with at least two posts before this a judgeship in Trinidad and the office of Advocate-General in Bengal, and Lamb's epigram may have had reference to one or the other. In the absence of a file of The Albion, which I have been unable to find, it is impossible to give exact dates or to reproduce any of Lamb's other contributions. John Fenwick.
Borrowed from Hobbes, who said, "Magnus ille Leviathan quæ civitas appellatur, opificium artis est." Mackintosh's. Cont. Soc., II. v. IV. ii. For instance, Gouvernement de la Pologne, ch. xi. p. 305. And Corr., v. 180. Cont. Soc., I. viii. Cont. Soc., II. i. Ib., III. x. "Let every individual who may usurp the sovereignty be instantly put to death by free men."
In the month of February a strong anti-Gallican sentiment was roused by Mackintosh's powerful defence of the royalist Jean Peltier, accused and ultimately convicted of a gross libel on the first consul. On March 8 came the royal message calling out the militia, which heralded the rupture of the peace.
Mackintosh's view that virtue depends upon motive will be 'scorned by every man who has any knowledge of the philosophy of the human mind.... The virtue does not depend upon the motive. There is no bad motive. Every motive is the desire of good; to the agent himself or to some one else. He gives an analysis of action to put the point beyond doubt.
As Mackintosh's courage and determination were well known, the seamen again consulted together, and then asked him what he proposed. "We have one good boat left, the new yawl at the booms: the others, as you know, are washed away, with the exception of the little boat astern, which is useless, as she is knocked almost to pieces.
Burton's Magazine paid his price for five essays, and the remaining four, at the same rate, were snapped up by Mackintosh's Monthly, The Northern Review being too poor to stand the pace.
Hume calls the Trial by Jury "An institution admirable in itself, and the best calculated for the preservation of liberty and the administration of justice, that ever was devised by the wit of man." Mackintosh's Hist. of Eng., ch. 3. 45 Lardner's Cab. Cyc., 354.
