m SCIENCE AND MORALS. 127 



not one of these folks at whom one looks and 

 passes by, and I can but sorrowfully wonder at 

 finding him in such company. 



So much for the three theses which Mr. Lilly 

 has nailed on to the page of this Eeview. I think 

 I have shown that the first is inaccurate, that the 

 second is inaccurate, and that the third is inac- 

 curate; and that these three inaccurates consti- 

 tute one prodigious, though I doubt not uninten- 

 tional, misrepresentation. If Mr. Lilly and I were 

 dialectic gladiators, fighting in the arena of the 

 " Fortnightly," under the eye of an editorial 

 lanista, for the delectation of the public, my best 

 tactics would now be to leave the field of battle. 

 For the question whether I do, or do not, hold 

 certain opinions is a matter of fact, with regard to 

 which my evidence is likely to be regarded as 

 conclusive at least until such time as the tele- 

 pathy of the unconscious is more generally recog- 

 nised. 



However, some other assertions are made by 

 Mr. Lilly which more or less involve matters of 

 opinion whereof the rights and wrongs are less 

 easily settled, but in respect of which he seems to 

 me to err quite as seriously as about the topics 

 we have been hitherto discussing. And the im- 

 portance of these subjects leads me to venture 

 upon saying something about them, even though I 

 am thereby compelled to leave the safe ground of 

 personal knowledge.
