But his work aroused much opposition both in England and Ireland, as there were many statements in the book which were capable of a rationalistic interpretation. A second edition was published in London with an apology by Toland in 1702. In Dublin he raised against himself a storm of opposition, not only on account of his book, but also by his vain and foolish manner of propagating his views.
Then her breathing quieted, and she let Jim dry her eyes with his own handkerchief, and listened, with an occasional long sigh, to his eager, confident plans. They were still talking quietly when the street door was flung open and Miss Toland came in, on a rush of fresh air. "Rain!" said Miss Toland. "Terrible night! Not an umbrella in the Parker house until Clem came home it's quarter to ten!"
Toland labours hard to persuade us; but, what is more to be regarded, men of greater merit and probity have unwarily dropped expressions of the like nature. Mr. To mention no more, the learned Mr. Spanheim observes, that Clemens Alexandrinus and Origen very often cite apocryphal books under the express name of Scripture.... How much Mr.
And as they went out he must stop to show her the admirably deep drawers of the little sideboard and the ingenious arrangement by which the gas was electrically lighted. They thanked the woman, and began the long ride back to the settlement house, for Julia never left Miss Toland long alone.
"And I can't understand why you wouldn't naturally mention it," Barbara interrupted, in a high, critical voice. Tears trembled into her eyes. "I would have given a great deal to have seen Elinor to-day," she said stiffly. Mrs. Toland, smitten dumb with penitence, could only eye her with sympathy and distress. "Listen, dear," she suggested eagerly, after a moment.
They were, almost without exception, a group of second-rate and insignificant writers whose 'onslaught' upon current beliefs was only to a faint extent 'systematic and reasoned. The feeble and fluctuating rationalism of Toland and Wollaston, the crude and confused rationalism of Collins, the half-crazy rationalism of Woolston, may each and all, no doubt, have furnished Voltaire with arguments and suggestions, but they cannot have seriously influenced his thought.
Now and then she incited some small girl to sing or recite for the others, and two or three times a year the sewing classes gave an evening entertainment extraordinary affairs at the memory of which Julia and Miss Toland used to laugh for weeks.
History will forgive the Nurse in that case. Perhaps History has dwelt too much on the blind side of this expensive King. Toland, on entering his country, was struck rather with the signs of good administration everywhere.
"But we made that a condition this time, and it didn't do any good." "Very well. Next time" flushed at the merest hint of opposition, Miss Toland would speak with annoyance "next time every child who hasn't had a bath will go straight into that tub, I don't care if the performance doesn't begin until midnight!" "Well," Julia would concede tolerantly.
She very speedily learned not to dispute these vigorous resolutions. Miss Toland always forgot them before morning; she would not have considered them seriously in any case. "We are the laughing-stock of the city," she would frequently say with bitterness, upon being informed that more thimbles were needed, or that the girls hated to sew on the ugly gray ginghams.
