When I claim freshness I do not make, you understand, any claim to original discovery. What I have to say, and have been saying for some time, is also more or less, and with certain differences to be found in the thought of Professor Bosanquet, for example, in Alfred Sidgwick's "Use of Words in Reasoning," in Sigwart's "Logic," in contemporary American metaphysical speculation.
If we can render the nobler somewhat more intelligible, we may increase the confidence of those who now, half-ashamed, follow its glorious but blindly compulsive call. Spencer's Principles of Ethics, pt. i. ch. xi., xii. Bradley's Appearance and Reality, p. 414-429. Paulsen's Ethics, bk. ii. ch. 6. Sidgwick's Methods, concluding chapter. Kidd's Social Evolution, ch. 5.
Mompesson's 'two modest little girls, and was accompanied by phenomena like those of Tedworth. But, in Mrs. Sidgwick's presence the phenomena were of the most meagre; and the reasoning faculties of the mind decline to accept them as other than perfectly normal. The society tried Mr. Eglinton, who once was 'levitated' in the presence of Mr. Davey also produced results like Mr.
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.
I think it would be a very good thing for the student to read chapters i and vi in Sidgwick's admirable work, The Methods of Ethics. I merely suggest looking up the articles on "Anthropology" and "Sociology" in the Encyclopedia Britannica. References are given there. And one should not overlook Darwin's great book on The Descent of Man.
But together these cases form a strand which becomes too strong to be broken, and which, taken together, practically prove telepathic communication at the moment of death at least so thought Professor Sidgwick's Committee, of which Miss Johnson was one member.
In what morality consists, no one has yet succeeded in making clear. Mr. Sidgwick's recent criticism of the various theories leads to the conviction that not one of them affords a satisfactory basis for a practical system of ethics.
But, as those chapters are concerned with the accepted content of morals as recognized by individuals and communities, I have a good excuse for bringing the list in here. Many other good books, not in the list, are referred to later in the volume, in other chapters. It is very convenient to have within one's reach some such book as Sidgwick's History of Ethics.
In his German edition he probably quoted a story which precisely suited his theory of the origin of collective hallucinations. This anecdote he had found in Prof. Sidgwick's Presidential Address of July 1890. As stated by Prof. Sidgwick, the case just fitted Herr Parish, who refers to it on p. 190, and again on p. 314.
And she turned her back on the brilliance and the fame and the face of her divinity, and offered herself up in flames as a sacrifice for all the governesses that were and had ever been and would be. And after the fine stories came the little legends things about Charlotte when she was a governess herself at Mrs. Sidgwick's, and the tittle-tattle of the parish.
