In the days when many of us were profoundly influenced by Herbert Spencer's "Sociology," I was somewhat astonished to read one week in The Nation, in a review of Pollock's "Introduction to the Science of Politics," these words: "Herbert Spencer's contributions to political and historical science seem to us mere commonplaces, sometimes false, sometimes true, but in both cases trying to disguise their essential flatness and commonness in a garb of dogmatic formalism."
Everybody was talking about you at the hotel, and they said you had done something so remarkable, something about a prism, wasn't it? You remember, Hilda, all the prisms on the chandeliers at Madame Haut Ton's! Do yours go on a chandelier, Professor Merryweather?" "Not exactly!" said Roger. "You have a large party at Pollock's, I believe, Miss Everton?
I suppose I was released at the Armistice, but for seven out of the past eight months I must have wandered in rags over Central Europe. However, all's well that ends well, and here I am." "But you knew that she'd remarried," Tabs objected suspiciously; "you asked me if I were Gervis." "A friend of Pollock's told me that," he explained. "Gervis was excusable. But this Lockwood fellow's the third.
He was late. If such a thing were believable, his kindly blue eyes glittered malevolently as they rested upon the face of Courtney Thane, who had taken his place at table a few minutes earlier. The fat little man was strangely preoccupied. He was even gruff in his response to Mr. Pollock's bland inquiry as to the state of his health. "How's your liver, Charlie?" inquired the genial editor.
The judge of the local court finally decided to send both men away for six months on a charge of vagrancy. And here the matter seemed to end. Though Lawyer Ripley urged the prompt payment of the offered reward to Prescott and Darrin, Mrs. Dodge, influenced by her son, demurred. At Mr. Pollock's suggestion Dick and Dave promptly drew up and signed a paper releasing the Dodge family from any claim.
"But I have forbidden it," insisted the principal, in surprise. "That is a matter, sir, about which you will have to see the editor. Here at school, Mr. Cantwell, I am under your orders. At 'The Blade' office I work under Mr. Pollock's instructions." The principal looked as though he were going to grow angry.
Could there be a better illustration of Sir Frederick Pollock's noble tribute to the genius of the common law: "Remember that Our Lady, the Common Law, is not a task-mistress, but a bountiful sovereign, whose service is freedom. The destinies of the English-speaking world are bound up with her fortunes and migrations and its conquests are justified by her works"?
Pollock's History of the Science of Politics, published in the "Humboldt Library," contains an admirable summary of the views of these political philosophers. For theories regarding the origin and development of government, see Maine's Ancient Law, Early History of Institutions, and Early Law and Custom; Spencer's Principles of Sociology, Vol.
Pollock's landlady was to be the happy possessor of Artaxerxes, and the turbulent portion of the Household was disposed of to bear him thither, and to beg Miss Hacket to give Buff and Ring the run of her cage, whence they had originally come, also to deliver various messages and notes. By the time they returned, Colonel Mohun was met in the hall by his sister.
Pollock's assistance had not been needed; the garrison of Jellalabad had delivered themselves. There is no room in this story to tell of the many wars in which Havelock took part during the next fifteen years, always doing good work and gaining the confidence of his commanding officers.
