FOOTNOTES:

[1] I leave these airy words of prophecy as they stood in 1912 before the cataclysm! (1922.)

[2] Much fresh light on his career was thrown by M. Emile Magne in his _Joyeuse Jeunesse de Tallemant des Reaux,_ 1921.

[3] Delivered before the University of Oxford as the Taylorian Lecture for 1920.

[4] Since this was written the Academic Committee has lost Henry James, Lady Ritchie and Austin Dobson.

[5] By far the best account of Rousseau's visit to England is contained in _Le Sejour de J. J. Rousseau en Angleterre_ (1766-1767), published from original documents by M. Louis J. Courtois (A. Jullian, Geneve, 1911).

[6] The writer, as I am courteously informed by the present editor of the _Quarterly Review_, was James Pillans (1778-1864), the Scottish educational reformer, the "paltry Pillans" of Byron's satire in _English Bards and Scottish Reviewers_.

[7] A very interesting account of the events which led to the fall of M. Clemenceau is given in the autobiography of the late Mr. Hyndman, who had the advantage of enjoying M. Clemenceau's friendship from an early date. He considers that the French statesman might have faced the storm with success if he would but have consented to make terms with the Socialists. But he would not do so: he replied to Mr. Hyndman--"It is as useless to base any practical policy upon Socialist principles as it is chimerical to repose any confidence in Socialist votes." When Mr. Hyndman urged that this attitude of hostility to all parties might lose him his seat in the Var, Clemenceau "laughed at the very idea of such a defeat." Nor has the conflict between him and the revolutionary Socialists ever ceased.
