1.—“... _carnal servitude_...”
It may be objected by some that details in the verse or in these notes
are of too intimate a character for general narration. The notes have,
however, all been taken either from widely read public prints of
indisputable singleness of purpose, or works of writers of undoubted
integrity. One is not much troubled as to those who would criticise
further. To them may be offered the incident and words of the late Dr.
Magee, who, as Bishop of Peterborough, and a member of a legislative
committee on the question of child-life insurance, said:—“In this matter
we have to count with two things: first, almost all our facts are
secrets of the bedchamber; and, secondly, we are opposed by great vested
interests. This thing is not to be done without a good deal of
pain.”—(_Review of Reviews_, Vol. IV., p. 37).
And thus are verified, in a transcendental sense also, the words of
Schiller:—
“Und _in feurigem Bewegen_
Werden alle Kräfte kund.”
(“Die Glocke.”)
7.—“_Survival from dim age_ ...”
