Footnote 1:
In India he rose rapidly through the early grades of the Service. The
Mutiny of 1857 was just over, and administration was being reorganized
in various directions. He was stationed at Futtehpore, Saharanpore and
various places in the N.W. Provinces; and then at Allahabad, where he
became Settlement Officer and something of an authority on Land and
Irrigation questions. Afterwards he was transferred to the Central
Provinces and made full Commissioner first at Jubbulpore and then at
Nagpore. It was at the last-named place that a fatal accident overtook
him while riding in a steeple-chase; and a career of great promise was
cut short. This was in March 1876. The _Pioneer_ of the 7th of March
said: “His public career, though now but commencing, was full of the
highest promise. Sound, cool, and cautious in deliberation, he carried
into action the promptness and decision which are born of
self-reliance and of a healthy vigorous _physique_. His was
emphatically _mens sana in corpore sano_; and he himself an officer of
rare judgment and of most sterling merit.”
See _A Memoir of C. W. C._: a little brochure (privately printed)
written by my eldest sister after his death.
Footnote 2:
His son, Francis, followed my brother into the Navy, thus representing
a fourth generation of Carpenters in a direct line in the same
profession, He is now [1915], though still young, occupying a high
position in the North Sea Fleet, and has distinguished himself not
only like his father by saving life, but also by bringing out
important inventions which have been taken up by the Admiralty.
Footnote 3:
It is curious how æsthetic in style this Preface is, though written in
1855, rather before the English æsthetic movement, and how, perhaps on
account of its slight affectation of manner, it was abandoned by
Whitman afterwards.
Footnote 4:
“Francesca,” in _Sketches from Life_.
Footnote 5:
The drama is now [1911] republished under the title _The Promised
Land_, and the soliloquy in question is given in the first part of Act
II. Sc. 1. As a reflection of the thoughts which were, I suppose,
occupying my mind at that time, it may have some slight interest.
Footnote 6:
This of course would all be very different now [1915].
Footnote 7:
_Days with Walt Whitman_ (George Allen and Unwin, 1906).
Footnote 8:
See _Days with Walt Whitman_, by E. Carpenter, p. 30.
Footnote 9:
This is a subject which through the Freudian psycho-analysis has come
now [1915] to be much better understood.
Footnote 10:
Many examples of this kind of temperament are given in Vol. II of Dr.
Havelock Ellis’ classical work _Studies in the Psychology of
Sex_—Philadelphia, 1901 and 1915. (See history VII, beginning “My
parentage is very sound”, history XVII, etc.) And I will say that in
my case the temperament has always been quite natural and associated
with perfect healthiness of habit and general freedom from morbidity;
and that it has been absolutely inborn, and not induced by any outside
example or teaching. It is therefore a part of my nature, and a most
intimate and organic part. And I have to thank Mr. Edward Lewis that
in his _Exposition and Appreciation of E. C._ (Methuen, 1915, pp. 200,
299, etc.) he has so clearly and firmly indicated this.
Footnote 11:
See _Sketches from Life in Town and Country_ (George Allen and Unwin),
by E. Carpenter.
Footnote 12:
However, I happily managed in the next few years to get rid of a good
portion of this!
Footnote 13:
See _Days with Walt Whitman_ (George Allen and Unwin, 1906), by E.
Carpenter.
Footnote 14:
Perhaps the portrait by Edward Williams, but I cannot say.
Footnote 15:
See “The Value of the Value-theory,” an article by myself in the
little magazine _To-day_ for June 1889 (published by W. Reeves).
Footnote 16:
See the last poem but one in _Towards Democracy_, p. 502.
Footnote 17:
Shown in the illustration facing page 103.
Footnote 18:
At Kovno or Slobodka, now alas! ravaged by the German invasion [1915].
Footnote 19:
I may say here that I never happened to meet Oscar Wilde personally.
Footnote 20:
One of the chapters in _Civilization: its Cause and Cure_.
Footnote 21:
A chapter in _Prisons, Police, and Punishment_.
Footnote 22:
In _Adam’s Peak to Elephanta_.
Footnote 23:

Footnote 24:
They are published now in Philadelphia by the F. A. Davis Company
there.
Footnote 25:
See _Seed-time_, a quarterly journal issued by the Fellowship; which
however was not started till 1890 and ceased publication in 1898.
Editor, Maurice Adams, one of the earliest members.
Footnote 26:
Published by George Harrap, 1912.
Footnote 27:

Footnote 28:
Entitled _I Cavalli pensanti di Elberfeldt_ (Florence, 1912).
Footnote 29:

Footnote 30:
Published by the _Libr. de l’Art indépendant_, 81 rue Dareau, Paris.
Footnote 31:
But not of course to _Civilization_ itself. M. Najívin, writing to me,
says: “A propos de la ‘Civilization’ Tolstoy n’a pas écrit un
préface—seulement il a beaucoup loué ce livre dans deux lettres à moi,
et j’ai fait des extraits de ces lettres et je les ai publiés maintes
fois.... L’exemplaire de la ‘Civilization’ _avec des notes de Tolstoy_
est envoyé au Musée de Tolstoy à St. Petersbourg.”
Footnote 32:
There is also a little book called _Some Forgotten Facts in the
History of Sheffield_ (Independent Press, Sheffield, 2s. 6d.) which
gives valuable information about the enclosures in that district.
Footnote 33:
The Small Holdings Act of 1907 defines anything up to fifty acres as a
small holding.
Footnote 34:
Chap. X, p. 180.
Footnote 35:
By means of which, of course, the wheel turns on its axle.
Footnote 36:
The Address together with my Reply is printed in an Appendix at the
end of this book.
