Memoirs. I have almost reached the period of incubation prescribed by Horace for a poem, and I cannot, as Dr Parkin does in his Life of Edward Thring, wrap myself in my virtue and plead imperative and Imperial duties as a justification for the delay. The only excuse I can offer is that the routine labours of a schoolmaster and journalist (in a humble way) have left me scant leisure, so that the work has had to be done mainly in my summer holidays. Nor was the task of selection and arrangement a light or easy one. The materials from which I have drawn consist of forty Note-books of various dimensions, a life-record extending over more than a quarter of a century. These, if printed in extenso, would make, on a rough estimate, ten or eleven volumes of the same size as this one. The compression has been effected by rigorously excluding everything that was not either of professional interest to the teacher or illustrative of the writers mind and character. Thus I have sacrificed much bearing on politics, on general literature, on bibliography, and even in the matter of pedagogics I have chosen to err rather by defect than excess1. The Note-books are at once a Diary and an A dversaria, a votive tablet that displays the whole life of the man, and to me as I read there was hardly a dull page in the forty volumes, but I am warned by recent biographies that the general reader would rather have too little than too much.
