lu the ‘British Quarterly Review’ for January, 1874, Mr Moulton (now Mr Justice Moulton) had an article entitled ‘ Mind and the Science of Energy,’ in which he took up tho ideas of Bain, Tyndall, and Huxley, criticising Huxley with some severity. After showing that it 5s admissible to suppose that what we call mind is coextensive with what we call matter, Mr Moulton said: “It is impossible not to place side by side with this conclusion the fact formerly mentioned: that we are unable to regard tho motions of matter (which are ;j.’l that the material universe presents to us) as alono concerned in physical changes. We are compelled to postulate an energy behind them, working by law, guided by intelligence. Are psychical phenomena special manifestations of the unseen energy which wc Cannot help thinking indispensable _to every physical change ? At least it is noticeable that while that suggestion comes on us from one quarter, we should be led by another' set of considerations to conjecture that what we call mind may be co-extensivc with what wo call matter.” By bis talcing in the Queen to dinner at Windsor Castle, Sir Henry Campbell-Ban-nerman created a precedent, as it was the first- time a Prime Minister in England bad ever done so. The exaltation of tho office of Premier is, of course, the result of the recent order of the King, in which the official position of the Prime Minister was formally defined.The roil of that little garden of yours would 110 much improved and enriched by a few bags of “Bocklands garden 1b hag.
