The thing had been an accident, at least in so far as Bill Royce's intent was concerned. Packard knew that; he knew that his old pardner fought hard, fought mercilessly, but fought fair. But in a larger sense was it an accident? Or rather a mere retributive punishment decreed by an eternal justice?
Royce's purpose of proving me guilty of "vast pretensions," quite too useful to be purely accidental. IV. But Dr. Royce does not content himself with quoting or misquoting what I have published, for the self-evident reason that what I have published is not sufficiently "pretentious" for his purpose.
William Ewart Gladstone, "I am very conscious of the force with which you handle the subject," and ex-President Noah Porter, "I thank you very sincerely for sending me a copy of your last book; I had already read it nearly twice, and found much in it very admirable and timely," I could very well afford to pass over Dr. Royce's ineffectual "criticisms" with indifference.
The students had to read one book a week such books as Hart's "Psychology of Insanity," Keller's "Societal Evolution," Holt's "Freudian Wish," McDougall's "Social Psychology," two weeks to that, Lippmann's "Preface to Politics," Veblen's "Instinct of Workmanship," Wallas's "Great Society," Thorndike's "Educational Psychology," Hoxie's "Scientific Management," Ware's "The Worker and his Country," G.H. Parker's "Biology and Social Problems," and so forth and ending, as a concession to the idealists, with Royce's "Philosophy of Loyalty."
From time to time they come back to us with their honors thick upon them; I remember one who returned with the prize in oratory from a contest between several western State universities, proudly testifying that he had obtained his confidence in our Henry Clay Club; another came back with a degree from Harvard University saying that he had made up his mind to go there the summer I read Royce's "Aspects of Modern Philosophy" with a group of young men who had challenged my scathing remark that Herbert Spencer was not the only man who had ventured a solution of the riddles of the universe.
In your letter of June 9, you admitted that Dr. Royce had 'transgressed the limits of courteous discussion' and that you 'do not defend in all respects the tone of the review. It is plain enough that you, Dr. Royce's own counsel, perceive at least something improper, something that ought to be retracted and apologized for.
Under it, as the height of our being, are ranged the three other stages, consciousness, reflex action, and unconsciousness. James's Psychology, ch. x. Royce's Studies of Good and Evil, ch. vi.-ix. Ferrier's Philosophy of Consciousness, in his Philosophical Remains. Calkins's Introduction to Psychology, bk. ii. Wundt's Human and Animal Psychology, lect. xxvii.
"Right you are, Bill Royce," he cried warmly as at last his and Royce's hands locked hard. "I'm fired, you say!" Blenham was storming, his eyes wide. "Fired? Who says so, I want to know?" "I say so," returned Packard shortly. "You?" shouted Blenham. "If you mean ol' man Packard has sent you to take my place just because It's a lie; I don't believe it."
"Nobody aroun', is there, Steve?" whispered Royce. "Nobody," Packard assured him. "Where is it, Bill?" Royce's hands, groping with the wall, rested at last upon a knob of stone near the base of the foundation. He tugged; the stone, rudely squared, came away, leaving a gaping hole. Royce thrust his hand in, searched briefly, and in a moment brought out a flat wallet clutched tightly.
That "Memorandum" tells the whole story. On the failure of Dr. Royce's very injudicious attempt at dictation, Dr. Adler found himself compelled to assume the editorial power and responsibility, which he ought to have assumed and exercised in the first instance by refusing publication to Dr. Royce's original libel. But, yielding to Dr.
