417 stern and aristocratic parents who relent and change their minds in the last chapter or act? Considering these things and not forgetting the records of the bull-necked dicey of eminent historical personages who had made up their minds and would not change them, the trait docs not seem to be wholly admirable. And there is hardly a crime or disaster in the whole appalling list from which humanity has suffered that could not have been averted if someone had changed his mind in time.

A man with a bundle of habits, instinets and reflex actions that he presumes to dignify with the name of “mind,” thinks he can make it up so definitely that it will “stand unabashed amid the war of elements, the wreck of matter and the crash of worlds.” What a pity Archimedes never had bis attention called to minds of this class, One of them properly “ made up” would have served as the fulcrum he needed in order to move the world.
