The Smuggler’s Dog

in Literature and Science

The title-sketch of this volume is a pathetic story of life on the Italo-Swiss frontier, and won the approval of so good a judge as the late Bishop of Durham, Dr. Westcott. The remaining essays are wide in their range in literature, science, religion, and politics, including amongst others: “A New Theory about Shakespeare”; a satirical essay, “On Some Moral and Literary Beauties of the British Hymnal”, “Food and Morals”, “The Limits of Applied Science”, “World Empire without War”, “The Extinction of Mankind” and a striking sketch entitled “The Convent of the Abruzzi”.
