A frank retraction and apology, when unjust charges have been made as now, is not dishonorable and ought not to be humiliating; and I shall consider Dr. Royce's action in this matter as showing the sincerity or insincerity of his disclaimer of all malice in his original article." The enclosed paper above mentioned was this: CAMBRIDGE, June , 1891.
Royce's letter, that I can only interpret it as a distinct refusal to retract his accusation that I have made 'extravagant pretensions as to the originality and profundity of my still unpublished system of philosophy' a distinct refusal to retract his accusation that I have 'borrowed my theory of universals from Hegel' a distinct refusal to retract his 'professional warning' based upon these accusations.
Two other general histories of smaller compass and covering limited periods are I.B. Richman's California under Spain and Mexico, 1535-1847 , and Josiah Royce's California, 1846-1856 . The former is a scholarly but rather arid book; the latter is an essay in interpretation rather than a narrative of events.
Royce was an Irishman by birth; and that casual kind of Catholic that never remembers his religion until he is really in a hole. But Royce's request might have been less promptly complied with if one of the official detectives had not been a friend and admirer of the unofficial Flambeau; and it was impossible to be a friend of Flambeau without hearing numberless stories about Father Brown.
The very book against which he presumes to warn the public "professionally" is founded upon lectures which I myself "professionally" delivered, not only from Dr. Royce's own desk and to Dr. Royce's own college class, but as a substitute for Dr. So far I have treated Dr. Royce's attack solely from the literary and ethical points of view. The legal point of view must now be considered.
And on this voyage I was reminded of Josiah Royce's splendid summary of the American philosophy of the American religion as set forth by William James: "The spirit of the frontiers-man, of the gold-seeker or the home-builder transferred to the metaphysical or to the religious realm. There is a far-off home, our long lost spiritual fortune.
"That you, Terry Temple?" he asked. "An' you wanted me? What's up?" "I came to have a talk with Steve Packard," answered Terry promptly. She got up and took Royce's hands between hers and led him to a chair before she relinquished them. And before she went back to her own place she had said swiftly: "I haven't seen you since you licked Blenham. I I am glad you got your chance, Bill."
Enid's willingness to listen to him he could scarcely doubt. Her devotion to him during his illness was probably regarded by her friends as equivalent to an engagement. Claude's first trip to Frankfort was to get his hair cut. After leaving the barber-shop he presented himself, glistening with bayrum, at Jason Royce's office. Mr.
Weston, who called upon me for the purpose on April 15, the following unspeakable document, apparently without a suspicion that it pricked the bubble of his previous iridescent pledge to "ask no mercy": Dr. Abbot's article must be in Mr. Weston's hands in MS. by June 1, for issue in the July No., if possible. This article must not exceed, in actual number of words, Prof. Royce's last rejoinder.
To this last proposal, in order not to refuse a meagre measure of justice, I consented under protest. But the proof-sheets of Dr. Royce's rejoinder, to which I was to reply, did not reach me till March 18, and were accompanied with a notice from the "Journal of Ethics" that my reply must be mailed "within ten hours after receiving Royce's proof." This notice I answered as follows:
