Will you speak for me in the day or the evening, and much oblige your sincere friend, ISABELLA B. HOOKER. Evidently they would not speak, even "for me," and Mrs. Hooker sends around this note of explanation to the "old guard:" "I know of no gentlemen outside of members of Congress, that can help us at all, who can come. Beecher, Collyer, Curtis and Phillips are all unable.
I can help people; I can injure people. Consequently humanity is the only real religion. I cannot better close this lecture than by quoting four lines from Robert Burns: "To make a happy fireside clime To weans and wife That's the true pathos and sublime Of human life." INGERSOLL'S LECTURE ON SKULLS, And His Replies To Prof. Swing, Dr. Collyer, And Other Critics Reprinted from "The Chicago Times."
The last eighteen months before I went to Cambridge, I was placed, or rather placed myself, under the tuition of Mr. Robert Collyer, rector of Warham, a living close to Holkham in the gift of my brother Leicester. Between my Ely tutor and myself there was but little sympathy. He was a man of much refinement, but with not much indulgence for such aberrant proclivities as mine.
It was during the Exposition that Oliver incidentally told Daniels about how he had been mistaken for the Reverend Robert Collyer. "I can sympathize with you," said Daniels; "for the plague of my life is a preacher who looks like me. Only last week I was stopped on the street by a man who wanted me to go to his house and perform a marriage-ceremony." "And you punched his ticket?" asked Oliver.
He had just time to say, "I congratulate you, Mr Merry. You've done well. You are worthy of my teaching!" when the prisoners were summoned aft.

Unconsciously I made room for the infant by sacrificing the life of that pig. As I never heard him allude to the doctrine of Pythagoras, as he had no leaning to Buddhism, and, as I am sure he knew nothing of the correlation of forces, it must be admitted that the conception was an original one. Be this as it may, Mr. Collyer was an upright and conscientious man.
I was saying that I was sure Captain Collyer would do his best to pick Toby and me up, and now, when I saw him chasing the lugger, it occurred to me that he must have either guessed that we were on board her, or that he must have come to the conclusion that we were lost. "I wonder what they are saying about us?" I remarked, partly to Toby and partly to myself.
We made our day out tolerably well, having the advantage of Mr. Davidoff and his friend Mr. Collyer to assist us. March 25. Mr. and Mrs. Kerr left us, Mr. Davidoff and Mr. Collyer also. Mr. Davidoff showed himself a good deal affected.
Panizzi used to relate with much glee how, whenever he was at Holkham, Mr. Collyer dogged him like a detective. Collyer to leave him to his researches. The dominie replied 'that he knew his duty, and did not mean to neglect it. He did not lose sight of Mr. Panizzi.
