Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Dublin Review, Vol. 154 My earliest meetings with Richard Hutton gave me an impression of him curiously unlike the real man. I used, as a boy, to see him when he came to dine with my father, in company generally with other members of the old Metaphysical Society - the "atheists" we children irreverently called them. This was in the ´seventies. His first appearance was not prepossessing. A lady who knew him as a boy, once told me that he was the ugliest boy she ever saw. It would be too much to say that he ultimately realized in this respect the promise of his boyhood, but it was at first sight a rugged and not an attractive face. The features were a little like those of Socrates. His extreme near-sightedness gave an odd look of superciliousness as he stood attempting to recognize individual members of the company with his monocle in his eye. And he did not notice or respond to a chance observation. The general effect was, to say the least, very unsympathetic. It was hard even to recall this first impression after one had come really to know him, but I remember it as a fact. In 1881 I had written down, mainly for my own interest, a good many reflections connected with the philosophy of religious belief, suggested largely by my reading of Newman´s University Sermons and Grammar of Assent. My father read what I had written, and was interested in it. He said he would ask Hutton to look over it and to advise as to its publication. Hutton consented, but week after week passed away without my hearing more on the subject. I feared he might have forgotten me, and being near the Spectator office one Thursday, I ventured to call. I found him buried in work, and his reception of me was forbidding - even alarming. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
