Chapter XLII: Conclusion (2)

_Quarterly Review_, No. xxxi. p. 249. It is curious, that in the
fourth article of the same number from which I have borrowed so many
exquisite passages, the reviewers are very angry that certain
‘scandalous and immoral practices’ in the island of Wahoo are not
reformed: but certainly, according to the logic of these reviewers,
the Government of Wahoo is entitled to look upon _them_ in the light
of ‘ruffians, scoundrels, incendiaries, firebrands, madmen, and
villains’; since all these hard names belong of primary right to those
who propose the reformation of ‘scandalous and immoral practices’! The
people of Wahoo, it appears, are very much addicted to drunkenness and
debauchery; and the reviewers, in the plenitude of their wisdom,
recommend that a few clergymen should be sent out to them, by way of
mending their morals. It does not appear, whether King Tamaahmaah is a
king by _divine right_; but we must take it for granted that he is
not; as, otherwise, the _Quarterly Reviewers_ would either not admit
that there were any ‘scandalous and immoral practices’ under his
government, or, if they did admit them, they would not be such
‘incendiaries, madmen, and villains,’ as to advocate their
reformation. There are some circumstances, however, which are
conclusive against the _legitimacy_ of King Tamaahmaah, which are
these: that he is a man of great ‘feeling, energy, and steadiness of
conduct’; that he ‘goes about among his people to learn their wants’;
and that he has ‘prevented the recurrence of those horrid murders’
which disgraced the reigns of his predecessors: from which it is
obvious that he has neither put to death brave and generous men, who
surrendered themselves under the faith of treaties, nor re-established
a fallen Inquisition, nor sent those to whom he owed his crown to the
dungeon and the galleys.

In the tenth article of the same number the reviewers pour forth the
bitterness of their gall against Mr. Warden of the Northumberland, who
has detected them in promulgating much gross and foolish falsehood
concerning the captive Napoleon. They labour most assiduously to
_impeach his veracity_ and to _discredit his judgment_. On the first
point, it is sufficient evidence of the truth of his statements, that
the _Quarterly Reviewers_ contradict them: but on the second, they
accuse him, among other misdemeanours, of having called their _Review_
‘_a respectable work_‘! which certainly _discredits his judgment_
completely.

Footnote 113:

_Quarterly Review_, No. xxxi. p. 249. The reader will be reminded of
_Croaker_ in the fourth act of the _Good-natured Man_: ‘Blood and
gunpowder in every line of it. Blown up! murderous dogs! all blown up!
(_Reads._) “Our pockets are low, and money we must have.” Ay, there’s
the reason: they’ll blow us up _because they have got low pockets_....
Perhaps this moment I’m treading on lighted matches, blazing
brimstone, and barrels of gunpowder. They are preparing to blow me up
into the clouds. Murder!... Here, John, Nicodemus, search the house.
Look into the cellars, to see if there be any combustibles below, and
above in the apartments, that no matches be thrown in at the windows.
_Let all the fires be put out_, and let the _engine_ be drawn out in
the yard, to _play upon the house_ in case of necessity.’—_Croaker_
was a deep politician. The _engine_ to _play_ upon the _house_: mark
that!

Footnote 114:

This illustration of the old fable of the mouse and the mountain falls
short of an exhibition in the Honourable House, on the 29th of January
1817; when Mr. Canning, amidst a tremendous denunciation of the
parliamentary reformers, and a rhetorical chaos of storms, whirlwinds,
rising suns, and twilight assassins, produced in proof of his
charges—_Spence’s Plan!_ which was received with an _éclat_ of
laughter on one side, and shrugs of surprise, disappointment, and
disapprobation on the other. I can find but one parallel for the Right
Honourable Gentleman’s dismay:

So having said, awhile he stood, expecting
Their universal shout and high applause
To fill his ear; when contrary he hears
On all sides, from innumerable tongues,
A dismal universal hiss, the sound
Of public scorn.—_Paradise Lost_, x. 504.

This Spencean chimaera, which is the very foolishness of folly, and
which was till lately invisible to the naked eye of the political
entomologist, has since been subjected to a _lens_ of _extraordinary
power_, under which, like an insect in a microscope, it has appeared a
formidable and complicated monster, all bristles, scales, and claws,
with a ‘husk about it like a chestnut’: _horridus, in jaculis et pelle
Libystidis ursae!_

Footnote 123:

‘To scatter praise or blame without regard to justice is to destroy
the distinction of good and evil. Many have no other test of actions
than general opinion; and all are so far influenced by a sense of
reputation, that they are often restrained by fear of reproach, and
excited by hope of honour, when other principles have lost their
power; nor can any species of prostitution promote general depravity
more, than that which destroys the force of praise by showing that it
may be acquired without deserving it, and which, by setting free the
active and ambitious from the dread of infamy, lets loose the rapacity
of power, and weakens the only authority by which greatness is
controlled. What credit can he expect who professes himself the
hireling of vanity however profligate, and without shame or scruple
celebrates the worthless, dignifies the mean, and gives to the
corrupt, licentious, and oppressive, the ornaments which ought only to
add grace to truth, and loveliness to innocence? EVERY OTHER KIND OF
ADULTERATION, HOWEVER SHAMEFUL, HOWEVER MISCHIEVOUS, IS LESS
DETESTABLE THAN THE CRIME OF COUNTERFEITING CHARACTERS, AND FIXING THE
STAMP OF LITERARY SANCTION UPON THE DROSS AND REFUSE OF THE
WORLD.’—_Rambler_, No. 136.

Deorum injurias diis curae.—_Tiberius apud Tacit. Ann. I._ 73.

Footnote 125:

‘Besides all these evils of modern times which I have mentioned, there
is in some countries of Europe, and particularly in England, another
evil peculiar to civilised countries, but quite unknown in barbarous
nations. The evil I mean is _indigence_, and the reader will be
surprised when I tell him that it is _greatest in the richest
countries_; and, therefore, in England, which I believe is the richest
country in Europe, there is more indigence than in any other; for the
number of people that are there maintained on public or private
charity, and who may therefore be called _beggars_, is prodigious.
What proportion they may bear to the whole people, I have never heard
computed: but I am sure it must be very great. And I am afraid in
those countries they call rich, indigence is not confined to the lower
sort of people, but extends even to the better sort: for such is the
effect of wealth in a nation, that (however paradoxical it may appear)
it does at last make all men poor and indigent; the lower sort through
idleness and debauchery, the better sort through luxury, vanity, and
extravagant expense. Now, I would desire to know from the greatest
admirers of modern times, who maintain that the human race is not
degenerated, but rather improved, whether they know any other source
of human misery, besides vice, disease, and indigence, and whether
these three are not in the greatest abundance in the rich and
flourishing country of England? I would further ask these gentlemen,
whether, in the cities of the ancient world, there were poor’s houses,
hospitals, infirmaries, and those other receptacles of indigence and
disease which we see in the modern cities? And whether, in the streets
of ancient Athens and Rome, there were so many objects of disease,
deformity, and misery to be seen as in our streets, besides those
which are concealed from public view in the houses above mentioned? In
later times, indeed, in those cities, when the corruption of manners
was almost as great as among us, some such things might have been seen
as we are sure they were to be seen in Constantinople, under the later
Greek Emperors.’—_Ancient Metaphysics_, vol. iii. p. 194.

‘It is notorious, that towards one another the Indians are liberal in
the extreme, and for ever ready to supply the deficiencies of their
neighbours with any superfluities of their own. They have no idea of
amassing wealth for themselves individually; and they wonder that
persons can be found in any society so destitute of every generous
sentiment as to enrich themselves at the expense of others, and to
live in ease and affluence regardless of the misery and wretchedness
of members of the same community to which they themselves
belong.’—WELD’S _Travels in Canada; Letter XXXV._

Footnote 133:

‘The civilised man will submit to the greatest pain and labour, in
order to excel in any exercise which is honourable; and this induces
me to believe that such a man as Achilles might have beat in running
even an oran outang, or the savage of the Pyrenees, whom nobody could
lay hold of, though that be the exercise in which savages excel the
most, and though I am persuaded that the oran outang of Angola is
naturally stronger and swifter of foot than Achilles was, or than even
the heroes of the preceding age, such as Hercules, and such as
Theseus, Pirithous, and others mentioned by Nestor.’—_Ancient
Metaphysics_, vol. iii. p. 76.

Footnote 134:

See Fletcher’s _Faithful Shepherdess_. The following extracts from the
Satyr’s speeches to Corin will explain the allusion in the text.

But behold a fairer sight!
By that heavenly form of thine,
Brightest fair! thou art divine!
Sprung from great immortal race
Of the gods; for in thy face
Shines more awful majesty
Than dull weak mortality
Dare with misty eyes behold,
And live! Therefore on this mould
Lowly do I bend my knee,
In worship of thy deity.
_Act I. Scene I._

Brightest! if there be remaining
Any service, without feigning
I will do it: were I set
To catch the nimble wind, or get
Shadows gliding on the green,
Or to steal from the great queen
Of the fairies all her beauty,
I would do it, so much duty
Do I owe those precious eyes.
_Act IV. Scene II._

Thou divinest, fairest, brightest,
Thou most powerful maid, and whitest,
Thou most virtuous and most blessed,
Eyes of stars, and golden tressed
Like Apollo. Tell me, sweetest,
What new service now is meetest
For the Satyr? Shall I stray
In the middle air, and stay
The sailing rack? or nimbly take
Hold by the moon, and gently make
Suit to the pale queen of night
For a beam to give thee light?
Shall I dive into the sea,
And bring thee coral, making way
Through the rising waves that fall
In snowy fleeces? Dearest, shall
I catch thee wanton fauns, or flies
Whose woven wings the summer dyes
Of many colours? Get thee fruit?
Or steal from heaven old Orpheus’ lute?
All these I’ll venture for, and more,
To do her service all these woods adore.
_Act V. Scene V._

Footnote 135:

‘There are very few women who might not have married in some way or
other. The old maid, who has either never formed an attachment, or who
has been disappointed in the object of it, has, under the
circumstances in which she has been placed, conducted herself with the
most perfect propriety; and has acted a much more virtuous and
honourable part in society than those women who marry without a proper
degree of love, or at least of esteem, for their husbands; a species
of immorality which is not reprobated as it deserves.’—_Malthus on
Population_, book iv.

MACMILLAN & CO.’S NEW NOVELS

Crown 8vo. 6s. each.

_Second Edition now ready._

=THE COURTSHIP OF MORRICE BUCKLER.= By A. E. W. MASON.

_PUNCH._—“Readers will, unless gratitude be extinct, thank me for my
strong recommendation as to the excellent entertainment provided
for them in _The Courtship of Morrice Buckler_.”

_GRAPHIC._—“A fine stirring narrative it is. Mr. Mason is a new
recruit to the growing school of historical romancers in which Mr.
Stanley Weyman and Mr. Conan Doyle are conspicuous figures, and he
promises to make himself well worthy of his company. The ‘Record
of the Growth of an English Gentleman during the years 1685–1687
under strange and difficult circumstances’ is a gallant and
chivalrous story, cast in a period and among scenes of which I, at
least, am never tired of reading.”

=HIS HONOR AND A LADY.= By Mrs. EVERARD COTES (SARA JEANNETTE DUNCAN).
Illustrated by A. D. MCCORMICK.

_DAILY CHRONICLE._—“We are inclined to place it as the best book
that Mrs. Everard Cotes has yet written. The story is exceedingly
well told, is everywhere witty. It has that charm of atmosphere
which India yields so readily for the canvas of a consummate
artist.”

_PALL MALL GAZETTE._—“This is a fascinating story of Anglo-Indian
life, accurate in detail and true to nature. The authoress has not
only maintained the high standard of her _Simple Adventures of a
Mem-Sahib_, but surpassed it. This is praise, but true.”

=ADAM JOHNSTONE’S SON.= By F. MARION CRAWFORD.

_DAILY NEWS._—“Mr. Crawford has written stories richer in incident
and more powerful in intention, but we do not think that he has
handled more deftly or shown a more delicate insight into
tendencies that go towards making some of the more spiritual
tragedies of life.”

_SPEAKER._—“A book to be enjoyed by everybody.”

=THE RELEASE, OR CAROLINE’S FRENCH KINDRED.= By CHARLOTTE M. YONGE.

=DENIS. A Study in Black and White.= By Mrs. E. M. FIELD.

literary event of which no one will mistake the importance. Unlike
most sequels, the various stories comprised in the new volume are
at least equal to their predecessors.”

=THE JUNGLE BOOK.= With Illustrations by J. L. KIPLING, W. H. DRAKE,
and P. FRENZENY. Twenty-eighth Thousand. Crown 8vo. 6s.

_ATHENÆUM._—“We tender our sincere thanks to Mr. Kipling for the
hour of pure and unadulterated enjoyment which he has given us,
and many another reader, by this inimitable _Jungle Book_.”

_PUNCH._—“‘Æsop’s Fables and dear old Brer Fox and Co.,’ observes
the Baron sagely, ‘may have suggested to the fanciful genius of
Rudyard Kipling the delightful idea, carried out in the most
fascinating style, of _The Jungle Book_.’”

=WEE WILLIE WINKIE= and other Stories. Crown 8vo. 6s.

=SOLDIERS THREE= and other Stories. Crown 8vo. 6s.

_GLOBE._—“Containing some of the best of his highly vivid work.”

=PLAIN TALES FROM THE HILLS.= Thirty-first Thousand. Crown 8vo. 6s.

_Saturday Review._—“Mr. Kipling knows and appreciates the English in
India, and is a born story-teller and a man of humour into the
bargain.... It would be hard to find better reading.”

_GLASGOW HERALD._—“Character, situation, incident, humour, pathos,
tragic force, are all in abundance; words alone are at a minimum.
Of course these are ‘plain’ tales—lightning-flash tales. A gleam,
and there the whole tragedy or comedy is before you—elaborate it
for yourself afterwards.”

=THE LIGHT THAT FAILED.= Re-written and considerably enlarged.
Nineteenth Thousand. Crown 8vo. 6s.

_ACADEMY._—“Whatever else be true of Mr. Kipling, it is the first
truth about him that he has power, real intrinsic power.... Mr.
Kipling’s work has innumerable good qualities.”

_MANCHESTER COURIER._—“The story is a brilliant one and full of
vivid interest.”

=LIFE’S HANDICAP.= Being Stories of Mine Own People. Twenty-third
Thousand. Crown 8vo. 6s.

_BLACK AND WHITE._—“_Life’s Handicap_ contains much of the best work
hitherto accomplished by the author, and, taken as a whole, is a
complete advance upon its predecessors.”

_OBSERVER._—“The stories are as good as ever, and are quite as well
told.... _Life’s Handicap_ is a volume that can be read with
pleasure and interest under almost any circumstances.”

=MANY INVENTIONS.= Twentieth Thousand. Crown 8vo. 6s.

_PALL MALL GAZETTE._—“The completest book that Mr. Kipling has yet
given us in workmanship, the weightiest and most humane in breadth
of view.... It can only be regarded as a fresh landmark in the
progression of his genius.”

_NATIONAL OBSERVER._—“The book is one for all Mr. Kipling’s admirers
to rejoice in—some for this, and some for that, and not a few for
well-nigh everything it contains.”

_BY J. LOCKWOOD KIPLING._

_By SIR HENRY CUNNINGHAM, K.C.I.E._

_ST. JAMES’S GAZETTE._—“Interesting as specimens of romance, the style of writing is so excellent—scholarly and at the same time easy and natural—that the volumes are worth reading on that account alone. But there is also masterly description of persons, places, and things; skilful analysis of character; a constant play of wit and humour; and a happy gift of instantaneous portraiture.”
