ON THE UTILITARIAN THEORY OF MORALS PRESENTED IN MR. W. E. H. LECKY'S HISTORY OF EUROPEAN MORALS FROM AUGUSTUS TO CHARLEMAGNE.' BY HENRY BLECKLY, Esq. 'By their fruits ye shall know them.' LONDON SIMPKIN, MARSHALL, & CO. WARRINGTON PERCIVAL PEARSE, 8 SANKEY STREET 1873 A COLLOQUY. Scene. The Grounds at Wellesley House, Arkdale. Mr. Tudor. I didn't see you on the moor this morning. Mr. Locksley. I am afraid, in the first place, that I was rather lazy; and then I met Miss Hope in the garden, and was detained until it was too late to attempt the moor. Mr. T. I fancy the detention was not disagreeable, for Miss Hope is a bright lively girl, and seems to be a favourite of yours? Mr. L. I don't deny that she is a pleasant companion on these bright summer mornings, as she possesses both taste and enthusiasm. Mr. T. I thought her taste in poetry rather questionable; for she tells me she prefers Longfellow to Tenny son. Mr. L. Her reading of Tennyson has not been extensive, and at her age the superficial beauties of Longfellow may be more attractive than the subtler ones of Tennyson; В 30512 |
