December 6, 1893, at a service commemorative of Mr. Parkman. In its

it the second city in the world.

hesitation I have decided to reprint this paper, because the
"fundamental rule of procedure" here criticised is a favourite one with
other controversialists than Mr. Cook, and it is one against which
readers sometimes need to be put on their guard.

the megalomania developed by Miss Bacon's malady. She imagined a remote
kinship between herself and Lord Bacon. Possibly there may have been
such kinship.
