Muirhead's book was written sixteen years ago, the majority of good Americans would assuredly have read the charge with an incredulous smile; but in the year 1909 they might behave differently. The sins of which Mr. Muirhead accused Americans sixteen years ago are substantially the sins of which to-day they are accusing themselves or rather one another.
"P'r'aps you found the last place you was in jes' a leetle too warm, eh?" was Bent's retort. Muirhead's face flushed, and for a second he stood as if he had been struck. Then, while the crowd moved aside, he sprang towards Bent, exclaiming, "Take that back right off! Take it back!"
But Bent would croak: "Whitman's struck nothin'; thar ain't no gold in Garotte; it's all work and no dust." In this strain he went on, offending local sentiment and making every one uncomfortable. Muirhead's first appearance created a certain sensation. He was a fine upstanding fellow of six feet or over, well made, and good-looking.
Alexander's Moral Order and Progress, bk. ii. ch. ii. Bradley's Appearance and Reality, ch. xxv. Sidgwick's Methods, bk. i. ch. ix. Spencer's Principles of Ethics, pt. i. ch. iii. Muirhead's Elements of Ethics, bk. iv. ch. ii. Ladd's Philosophy of Conduct, ch. iii. Kant's Practical Reason, bk. i. ch. ii. The Meaning of Good, by G.L. Dickinson.
Reggitt, Harrison, and some of the others looked at him as if on the point of retorting, but the cheerfulness was general, and Bent's grumbling before a stranger had irritated them almost as much as his unexpected cowardice. Muirhead's challenge was not taken up, therefore, though Harrison did remark, half sarcastically: "That may be so. You jump them, I guess."
As we have read, he had long studied the question of a locomotive steam carriage. In Muirhead's Biography, several pages are devoted to this.
Muirhead's Elements of Ethics, bk. iii. ch. iii. Mackenzie's Manual of Ethics, pt. i. ch. vii. Dewey in Philos. Journal, Dec., 1893. The view of human goodness presented in the preceding chapter is one which is at present finding remarkably wide acceptance. Philosophers are often reproached with an indisposition to agree, and naturally where inquiry is active diversity will obtain.
If any one doubts me, let him read Keller's Der Romische Civil Process und die Actionen, a treatise on the praetor's edict, Muirhead's most interesting Historical Introduction to the Private Law of Rome, and, to give him the best chance, Sohn's admirable Institutes. No. The way to gain a liberal view of your subject is not to read something else, but to get to the bottom of the subject itself.
Upon the entrance of a gentlewoman of Agnes Muirhead's qualities hung important results, for she was a remarkable character with the indefinable air of distinction, was well educated, had a very wise head, a very kind heart and all the sensibility and enthusiasm of the Celt, easily touched to fine issues.
But Garotte had too much experience of life to be won by a stranger's handsome looks. Muirhead's fair moustache and large blue eyes counted for little there. Crocker and others, masters in the art of judging men, noticed that his eyes were unsteady, and his manner, though genial, seemed hasty. Reggitt summed up their opinion in the phrase, "looks as if he'd bite off more'n he could chaw."
