 328 men dropped the oars and fell off the thwarts as if dead. I made fast to a pile. A current rippled softly. The scented obscurity of the shore was grouped into vast masses, a density of colossal clumps of vegetation, probably—mute and fantastic shapes. And at their foot the semicircle of a beach gleamed faintly, like an illusion. There was not a light, not a stir, not a sound. The mysterious East faced me, perfumed like a flower, silent like death, dark like a grave.

"And I sat weary beyond expression, exulting like a conqueror, sleepless and entranced as if contemplating a profound, a fateful enigma.

"A splashing of oars, a measured dip reverberating on the level of water, intensified by the silence of the shore into loud claps, made me jump up. A boat, a European boat, was coming in. I invoked the name of the dead; I hailed: Judea ahoy! A thin shout answered.

"It was the captain. I had beaten the flagship by three hours, and I was glad to hear the old man’s voice again, tremulous and tired. 'Is it you, Marlow?' 'Mind the end of that jetty, sir,' I cried.

"He approached cautiously, and brought up with the deep-sea lead-line which we had saved—for the underwriters. I eased my painter and fell alongside. He sat, a broken figure at the stern, wet with dew, his hands clasped in his lap. His men were asleep already. 'I had a terrible time of it,' he murmured. 'Mahon is behind—not very far.' We conversed in whispers, in low whispers, as if afraid to wake up the land. Guns, thunder, earthquakes would not have awakened the men just then.

"Looking round as we talked, I saw away at sea a bright light travelling in the night. 'There's a steamer passing the bay,' I said. She was not passing, she was entering, and she even came close and anchored. 'I wish,' said the old man, 'you would find out whether she is English. Perhaps they could give us a passage somewhere.' He seemed nervously anxious. So by dint of punching and kicking I started one of my men into a state of somnambulism, and giving him an oar, took another and pulled towards the lights of the steamer.

"There was a murmur of voices in her, metallic hollow clangs of the engine-room, footsteps on the deck. Her ports shone, round like dilated eyes. Shapes moved about, and there was a shadowy man high up on the bridge. He heard my oars.

"And then, before I could open my lips, the East spoke to me, but it was in a Western voice. A torrent of words was poured into the enigmatical, the fateful silence; outlandish, angry words, mixed with words and even whole sentences of good English, less strange but even more surprising. The voice swore and cursed me violently; it riddled the solemn peace of the bay by a volley of abuse. It began by calling me Pig, and from that went crescendo into unmentionable adjectives—in English. The man up there raged aloud in two languages, and with a sincerity in his fury that almost convinced me I had, in some way, sinned against the harmony of the universe. I could hardly see him, but began to think he would work himself into a fit.

"Suddenly he ceased, and I could hear him snorting and blowing like a porpoise. I said—

What steamer is this, pray?'

Eh? What's this? And who are you?'

Oh, my goodness! I say. … This is the Celestial from Singapore on her return trip. I'll arrange with your captain in the morning, … and, … I say, … did you hear me just now?'

I should think the whole bay heard you.'

I thought you were a shore-boat. Now, look here—this infernal lazy scoundrel of a caretaker has gone to sleep again—curse him. The light is out, and I nearly ran foul of the end of this damned jetty. This is the third time he plays me this trick. Now, I ask you, can anybody stand this kind of thing? It's enough to drive a man out of his mind. I'll report him. … I'll get the Assistant Resident to give him the sack, by ! See—there's no light. It's out, isn't it? I take you to witness the light's out. There should be a light, you know.

There was a light,' I said, mildly.

But it's out, man! What's the use of talking like this? You can see by yourself it's out—don't you? If you had to take a valuable steamer along this God-forsaken coast you would want a light too. I'll kick him from end to end of his miserable wharf. You'll see if I don't. I will'

So I may tell my captain you'll take us?' I broke in.

Yes, I'll take you. Good night,' he said, brusquely.

"I pulled back, made fast again to the jetty, and then went to sleep at last. I had faced the silence of the East. I had heard some of its language. But when I opened my eyes again the silence was as complete as though it had never been broken. I was lying in a flood of light, and the sky had never looked so far, so high, before. I opened my eyes and lay without moving.

"And then I saw the men of the East—they were looking at me. The whole length of the jetty was full of people. I saw brown, bronze, yellow faces, the black eyes, the glitter, the colour of an Eastern crowd. And all these beings stared without a murmur, without a sigh, without a movement. They stared down at the boats, at the sleeping men who at night had come to them from the sea. Nothing moved. The fronds of palms stood still against the sky. Not a branch, stirred along the shore, and the brown roofs of hidden houses peeped through the green foliage, through the big leaves that were shining and still like leaves forged of heavy metal. This was the East of the ancient navigators, so old, so mysterious, resplendent and sombre, living and unchanged, full of danger and promise. And these were the men. I sat up suddenly. A stir, a wave of movement passed through the crowd from end to end, passed along the heads, swayed the bodies, ran along the jetty like a ripple on the water, like a breath of wind on a field—and all was still again. I see it now—the wide sweep of the bay, the glittering sands, the wealth of green infinite and varied, the sea blue like the sea of a dream, the crowd of attentive faces, the blaze of vivid colour—the water reflecting it all, the curve of the shore, the jetty, the high-sterned outlandish craft floating still, and the three boats with the tired men from the West sleeping, unconscious of the land and the people and of the violence of sunshine. They slept thrown across the thwarts, curled on bottom-boards, in the careless attitudes of death. The head of

 it proposes. But Professor Palmer advances the statistical proofs that in very truth the method has already wrought to this desirable and noble end at Harvard. We are brought around, then, to his statistics in our effort to come into the fullest possible sympathy of view with his opinions. Do the statistics show, or even tend to show, the superiority of the method of education in force at Harvard, as compared with that still employed at Yale? I am prepared to affirm that they do not. I am prepared to affirm that, in all the matters which can fairly be said to be direct desirable results of the methods of teaching employed by the two institutions, the figures speak rather against than for the New Education. The various items of proof will be arranged for consideration in the order which seems most convenient, but all the points made by Professor Palmer will be covered before leaving the subject.

Among the various proofs of experience that the New Education is successful we find the enlargement and improvement of the prevalent student idea of a "gentleman." Students are proverbially influenced by consideration for "good form." It is no longer "good form" at Harvard to haze freshmen, smash windows, disturb lecture-rooms, etc. Such things as these are largely, if not wholly, at an end. Now the growth away from barbarous and rowdyish customs has characterized all the colleges of the land,—some of them to a greater, some to

 a less degree. A marked improvement in these regards has gone on at Yale, until the more offensive forms of such misbehavior are matters of tradition and of the past. It could be shown by all the testimony possible to obtain on such a, point that both the major and the minor morals of the students have steadily improved for the last twentyfive or more years. The relations between the Faculty and the students, instead of the old feeling of antagonism or division of interest, are cordial and tending to more and more of friendliness and co-operative work. This is perfectly well understood by the students themselves; it is remarked upon in their conversation and in the papers which they publish. But I should not for a moment suppose that the same kind of improvement had not taken place—at least to some considerable degree—in other institutions of learning; nor should I venture to attribute it largely to any peculiar method of education, either as partly elective or as largely prescribed. Such improvement is chiefly the result of the steady change in our civilization which has been going on, of better manners everywhere, of the gradual decay of barbarous and mediæval antagonisms, of the spread of kindliness and intelligence. It is also due, in special, to the fact that teachers and parents take a different attitude toward the young under their charge, and that the young themselves have a wider outlook on life. It

 is also due to the fact that college Faculties have relaxed in many of their old severities and petty exactions, and have taken the young men—whether by some scheme devised or by the common consent of all hearts and wills—more into their confidence. It is also due to the influence of well-regulated athletic sports, which provide an outlet for the expenditure of that surplus vitality in which youth rejoices. The New Education has no monopoly in these improvements. Nor do I believe that it can show any advantage in these matters as compared with that blending of things new and old which is prevalent at Yale.

It is also claimed that the New Education has the stamp of approval in the special amount of popular favor which it has secured. It is shown that the period during which the new method has been on trial has been one of "unexampled prosperity" for Harvard, its representative. Rich men have signified their acceptance of it by generous gifts. Parents and sons have ratified the system, as may be seen by the increase of numbers which has taken place under its working. There can be no doubt that the last fifteen years exhibit a splendid record of growth at Harvard, both in numbers and in resources. But it will scarcely be claimed by Professor Palmer that all the generous gifts it has received have been designed to set the seal of approval from their donors upon its peculiar methods. Other sums of money,

 even larger, have been given to found and rear institutions by rich men who had no ideas, either new or old, which they desired to perpetuate in a peculiar college system. Other colleges which have not adopted the Harvard system—except so far as some elective courses in a college curriculum may be said to be an adoption of the system—have also received bountiful gifts. During the last fourteen years the amount of gifts made to the university of Yale, either already delivered over or in the process of delivery by executors, exceeds $2,066,000; of this sum $928,400 stands upon the treasurer's books as cash paid in to the treasury since 1871; the remainder has gone into the "plant" of the university. During the same time the sum of more than $460,000 additional has been secured by bequest, to be paid into its treasury on the termination of certain lives. Meanwhile, its library has increased by 83,000 volumes. This more than two and a half millions may not, indeed, equal the sum given to Harvard during the same period. But it bears comparison with that sum so well as to raise the inquiry whether the prestige of the New Education with the long purses of the country is beyond question.

The increase of students is a more direct and appreciable argument. It certainly does go for something in showing how the popular favor is setting, at least for the immediate time. I can

 readily see how young men of eighteen, if left to themselves, would incline to give the authority of their presence to the methods of the New Education. Still, it is by no means certain that the large accessions to Harvard for the past twenty-five years signify all that they might seem to at first sight. During the same period other institutions, not adopting its method, have likewise had remarkable growth; on other grounds than its adoption Yale has constantly grown in numbers during this period. Its growth as estimated by the average number of undergraduates, exclusive of special students (which I suppose Professor Palmer also excluded from his estimate), has been as follows: 1861–65, 533; 1866–70, 610; 1871–15, 704; 1876–80, 745; 1880–84, 792. It should also be said that probably no other college has rejected so large a per cent. of candidates for admission, or sent away so many for failing to keep up to its standard of scholarship.

Even the most recent statistics throw still more doubt upon the argument from the number of students. It is found, by counting the under-graduates in the last Harvard catalogue, that 591 of the 1061, or more than 55 per cent., are from the State in which the college is situated. Only 247, or less than 32 per cent., of the undergraduates of Yale are from Connecticut. Not only relatively but absolutely, more men come to the latter

474 in the Roman hostelries. Songs of this sort accordingly early came upon the public stage, and certainly formed the first nucleus of the Roman theatre. But not only were these beginnings of the drama in Rome, as well as elsewhere, modest and humble; they were, in a remarkable manner, accounted from the very first disreputable. The Twelve Tables already denounced malicious and vain song-singing, imposing severe penalties not only upon incantations but even on lampoons composed against a fellow-citizen or recited before his door, and forbidding the employment of wailing-women at funerals. But far more severely than by such legal restrictions, the incipient exercise of art was affected by the moral anathema, which was denounced against these frivolous and mercenary trades by the staid earnestness of the Roman character. "The trade of a poet," says Cato, "in former times was not respected; if any one occupied himself therewith or addicted himself to banquets, he was called an idler." Whoever practised dancing, music, or ballad-singing for money, was visited with a double stigma, in consequence of the more and more confirmed disapproval of the acquisition of a livelihood by services rendered for hire. While accordingly a participation in the masked farces with stereotyped characters, that formed the usual native amusement (P. 234), was looked upon as a pardonable youthful frolic, the appearing on a public stage for money and without a mask was considered as directly infamous, and the singer and poet were in this respect placed quite on a level with the rope-dancer and the harlequin. Persons of this stamp were regularly pronounced by the censors (P. 446) incapable of serving in the burgess army or of voting in the burgess assembly. Moreover, not only was the direction of the stage regarded as pertaining to the province of the city police—a significant enough fact even in itself—but the police was probably, even at this period, invested with arbitrary powers of an extraordinary character against professional artists. Not only did the police magistrates, after the performance was over, sit in judgment on it—on which occasion wine flowed as copiously for those who had acquitted themselves well, as stripes fell to the lot of the bungler—but all the urban magistrates were legally entitled to inflict bodily chastisement and imprisonment on any actor at any time and at any place. The necessary effect of this was that dancing, music, and poetry, at least

 than to the former institution from outside of the State in which it is situated. If, then, Massachusetts may be said to sanction the New Education, as yet the country at large cannot be said to have done so. It is not yet cosmopolitan.

But we shall better appreciate the statistical argument for and against the New Education if we compare figures concerning matters that may more fairly be held to indicate its direct results; and among them, first, the amount of regular attention given by the students to the college exercises, to lectures and recitations. Professor Palmer thinks it creditable to the method he advocates that, by actual count, under a wholly voluntary and wholly elective system, the last senior class at Harvard "had cared to stay away" only two exercises per week out of twelve,—that is, rather more than sixteen per cent. of the whole. Now the point of fidelity and regularity is of such supreme importance in the life of the student that I have taken especial pains to secure its statistics here; the reader is requested thoughtfully to compare them with the statement of Professor Palmer. At Yale this term, for the seven weeks for which the record is complete, the average per cent. of absence in the class of '89 has been 8.7 per cent.; that is, the average freshman of the Academical Department has been present 15.4 out of a possible 16 of his weekly recitations. This record includes absences

Chap. IX.] so far as they appeared on the public stage, fell into the hands of the lowest classes of the population, and especially into those of foreigners; and while at this period poetry still played altogether too trifling a part to attract foreign artists to the pursuit of it, the statement on the other hand, that in Rome the whole music, sacred and profane, was really Etruscan, may be regarded as already applicable to this period; so that the ancient Latin art of the flute, which was evidently at one time held in high esteem (P. 235), had supplanted by foreign music.

There is no mention of any poetical literature. Neither the masked plays nor the recitations of the stage can have had any definitely settled text; on the contrary, they were ordinarily improvised by the performer himself as circumstances required. Of works composed at this period posterity had nothing to show but a sort of Roman "Works and Days"—counsels of a farmer to his son, and the already-mentioned Pythagorean poems of Appius Claudius (P. 470), the first commencement of Roman poetry after the Hellenic type. Nothing of the poems of this epoch has survived but one or two epitaphs in Saturnian measure (P. 469).

Along with the rudiments of the Roman drama, the rudiments of Roman historical composition belong to this period; both as regards the contemporary recording of remarkable events, and as regards the conventional settlement of the early history of the Roman community.

The writing of contemporary history was associated with the register of the magistrates. The register reaching farthest back, which was accessible to the later Roman inquirers and is still indirectly accessible to us, seems to have been derived from the archives of the temple of the Capitoline Jupiter; for it records the names of the annual presidents of the community onward from the consul Marcus Horatius, who consecrated that temple on the 13th Sept. in his year of office, and it also notices the vow which was made on occasion of a severe pestilence under the consuls Publius Servilius and Lucius Æbutius (according to the reckoning now

120Rh present weakness of those Powers has enabled Japan, hitherto, to conduct successfully. But both are likely to recover their strength sooner or later, and then the essential weakness of present Japanese policy will become apparent.

It results naturally from the situation that the Japanese have two somewhat incompatible ambitions. On the one hand, they wish to pose as the champions of Asia against the oppression of the white man; on the other hand, they wish to be admitted to equality by the white Powers, and to join in the feast obtained by exploiting the nations that are inefficient in homicide. The former policy should make them friendly to China and India and hostile to the white races; the latter policy has inspired the Anglo-Japanese Alliance and its fruits in the annexation of Korea and the virtual annexation of Manchuria and Inner Mongolia. As a member of the League of Nations, of the Big Five at Versailles, and of the Big Three at Washington, Japan appears as one of the ordinary Great Powers; but at other moments Japan aims at establishing a hegemony in Asia by standing for the emancipation from white tyranny of those who happen to be yellow or brown, but not black. Count Okuma, speaking in the Kobe Chamber of Commerce, said: "There are three hundred million natives in India looking to us to rescue them from the thraldom of Great Britain." While in the Far East, I inquired of innumerable Englishmen what advantage our Government could suppose that we derived from the Japanese Alliance. The only answer that seemed to me to supply an intelligible motive was that the Alliance somewhat mitigates

121Rh the intensity of Japanese anti-British propaganda in India. However that may be, there can be no doubt that the Japanese would like to pose before the Indians as their champions against white tyranny. Mr. Pooley quotes Dr. Ichimura of the Imperial University of Kyoto as giving the following list of white men's sins:—

This enumeration of our vices appears to me wholly just. One might have supposed that a nation which saw us in this light would endeavour to be unlike us. That, however, is not the moral which the Japanese draw. They argue, on the contrary, that it is necessary to imitate us as closely as possible. We shall find that, in the long catalogue of crimes committed by Europeans towards China, there is hardly one which has not been equalled by the Japanese. It never occurs to a Japanese, even in his wildest dreams, to think of a Chinaman as an equal. And although he wants the white man to regard himself as an equal, he himself regards Japan as immeasurably superior to any white country. His real desire is to be above the whites, not merely

122Rh equal with them. Count Okuma put the matter very simply in an address given in 1913:—

It would be easy to quote statements by eminent men to the effect that Japan is the greatest of all nations. But the same could be said of the eminent men of all other nations down to Ecuador. It is the acts of the Japanese rather than their rhetoric that must concern us.

The Sino-Japanese war of 1894–5 concerned Korea, with whose internal affairs China and Japan had mutually agreed not to interfere without first consulting each other. The Japanese claimed that China had infringed this agreement. Neither side was in the right; it was a war caused by a conflict of rival imperialisms. The Chinese were easily and decisively defeated, and from that day to this have not ventured to oppose any foreign Power by force of arms, except unofficially in the Boxer rebellion. The Japanese were, however, prevented from reaping the fruits of their victory by the intervention of Russia, Germany and France, England holding aloof. The Russians coveted Korea for themselves, the French came in as their allies, and the Germans presumably joined them because of William II's dread of the Yellow Peril. However that may be, this intervention made the Russo-Japanese war inevitable. It would not have mattered much to

123Rh Japan if the Chinese had established themselves in Korea, but the Russians would have constituted a serious menace. The Russians did not befriend China for nothing; they acquired a lease of Port Arthur and Dalny (now called Dairen), with railway and mining rights in Manchuria. They built the Chinese Eastern Railway, running right through Manchuria, connecting Port Arthur and Peking with the Siberian Railway and Europe. Having accomplished all this, they set to work to penetrate Korea. The Russo-Japanese war would presumably not have taken place but for the Anglo-Japanese Alliance, concluded in 1902. In British policy, this Alliance has always had a somewhat minor place, while it has been the corner-stone of Japanese foreign policy, except during the Great War, when the Japanese thought that Germany would win. The Alliance provided that, in the event of either Power being attacked by two Powers at once, the other should come to its assistance. It was, of course, originally inspired by fear of Russia, and was framed with a view to preventing the Russian Government, in the event of war with Japan or England, from calling upon the help of France. In 1902 we were hostile to France and Russia, and Japan remained hostile to Russia until after the Treaty of Portsmouth had been supplemented by the Convention of 1907. The Alliance served its purpose admirably for both parties during the Russo-Japanese war. It kept France from joining Russia, and thereby enabled Japan to acquire command of the sea. It enabled Japan to weaken Russia, thus curbing Russian ambitions, and making it possible for us to conclude an Entente with Russia in 1907. Without this Entente, the Entente concluded with France in 1904

With that he fell to analysing that poetical phase from which the colour had faded with Zakhar's mention of the same. Oblomov was beginning to see the other face of the medal. He tossed and turned from side to side, lay flat on his back, leaped up and took a stride or two, and ended by sinking back into a reclining position.

"How come folk to know about it?" he reflected. "Olga has kept silence, and I too have breathed not a word. So much for stolen meetings at dawn and sunset, for passionate glances, for the wizardry of song! Ah, those poems of love! Never do they end save in disaster. One should go beneath the wedding canopy before one attempts to swim in an atmosphere of roses. To think that before any preparations have been made—before even an answer has come from the estate, or I have obtained either money or

284 CONDITION OF THE BRAIN IN INSANITY, Cysticercus cellulose is either confined to the brain or else there is a simultaneous development in the muscles. It may occur in very large numbers ; according to Cobbold, at least 100 fatal cases have come to light.

Serous cysts, neither originating in heemorrhage nor duc to parasites, are of very rare occurrence; but true Dermoid cysts haye been recorded, In a case referred to by Vérster a compound cyst, containing hair, cartilage, and bone, was found in tho left cerebral hemispheve of a boy ten weeks old. Another containing fat, with short stiff hairs, was scen by Sir J. Paget, under the cerebellum of an elderly man.*

Although there are no specific morbid conditions always asso- ciated with insanity some tacts have been ascertaincd which are worth considerution. They must necessarily be given in a some- what fragmentary form. In acute mania we tind evidences of great hyperemia, or incipient inflammation, especially in the cortex of the brain.t The grey matter (and especially its inner two-thirds) assumes a distinct pink tint, which is not removed by washing the cut surface. The samo is seen in a less degree in some parts of the white medullary substance. This intense hype- reemia is probably always accompanied by some degree of capillary hwmorrhage; and on microscopical oxamination red blood cor- puscles may be seen scattered among the nervous elements. To this condition especially belong the so-called dissecting anourisms; though we must repeat that they are not peculiar fo cases of in- sanity. A more chronic change consists in an increase of connective tissue, by which the nervous elements are compressed and impaired. This connectiye tissne growth appears to start from the walls of the capillary vessels themselves, and not from the neuroglia, The vessels suffer also move obvious changes; they become varicose, tor- tuous, knotted, or ancurismal; their walls show great thickening and fatty or calcareous degeneration. ‘These changes in the yessels are especially charactoristic of insanity, accompanied by general paralysis. Degeneration of other structures is shown by the presence of amyloid corpuscles, pigmented, fatty, and atrophied nerve cells. Actual calcification of the ganglionic cells has also been observed. Peculiar changes in the nerve cells have further been observed by Meynert, who describes yesicular enlargement or

+ We believe this fori of hypersemia to be essentially different from that caused by meningitis. It is distivoguished by the stratified appearance of the eortex, and by the red tint being chiefly scen in the mner part, while the outer layer is pale. Tn smoningitis, or siuple congestion, on the other hund, the whole of the grey cortical substance has a uniform pinkish tint,.

384 CAUSES OF ANEURISM. an aneurism. ‘This explains the frequency of intracranial aneurism at special points, such as the middle cerebral arteries, or at bifurea- tions of tho other arteries. Of course there are many such aneurisms without any history of embolism, but still there will often be a history of valvular ene accompanied by vegetations, fragments of which becoming detached might produce embolisms.* Spontaneous thrombosis may, of course, have similar conse- quences.

Form und Contents of Aneurism.—The form of sacculated anen- risms is generally globular, but they may, partly owing to

accidental conditions in the coats of the Fra, 91, aifccted vessels, partly from the pressure exerted by surrounding tissues, agsume an oyal or more or less irregular outline. Upon the original ancurism, an cyolution of secondary dilatations is sometimes met with, and these may even give rise to a further or tevtiary multiplication of the disease, so as to induce a sort of mulbe: appearance in the tumonr ; it is the variety to which Cruvcilhicr has applied the term ‘“anéyrisme sous Vaspect @ampoules a bosselures.”

The contents of aneurismal sacs aro fibrinous coagula, which form in success- ive layers, and accordingly present a con- centric arrangement, like the annular rings in perennial plants. ‘The resemblance may be traced still further in the gradual eon- densation of the outer or external layers, owing to «absorption and compression.

PART I.

GENERAL PATHOLOGICAL ANATOMY.

CHAPTER IL.

GENERAL OBSERVATIONS.

THE object of General Pathology is to examine the various morbid processes which may occur im the human body, and to obtain, thereby, such an insight into their nature, that they may not be looked on as uuknown entities, but that being comprehended as far as is possible themselves, the various offocts they produce, the par- ticular instances of their action, may be understood also.

The course we propose to follow is to describe briefly, (I.) The morbid alterations of the sevoral great functions. (I1.) Those of the blood, (III.) Whoso of the various tissues, considered gene- rally. (IY.) The superadded formations or growths, the so-called tumours. (V.) Parasitic beings, whether animal or vegetable.

Some general observations must, however, be premised. The term Morbid Anatomy hardly needs explanation; as ordinary anatomy implies the study of, and acquaintance with, the healthy structure, so morbid anatomy implies the same of diseased struc- ture. ‘Ihe meaning of Pathology may be clearly conceived, by considering that of its twin sister, Physiology; as the latter imports the knowledge of the natural actions of healthy organs, so does the former that of the unnatural actions of diseased or disturbed organs. Dhysiology has her vital stimuli; Pathology her stimuli or excitants to unhealthy life, ‘his expression brings us to notice �

84 INFLAMMATION. Theories of Cell Migration-—Cobnheim explained the passage of leucocytes by their spontaneous amceboid movements. The re- tardation of the blood current, which is itself a consequence of arterial dilatation, causes them to collect at the sides of the vessels, where they lose their spherical form and become flattened aguinst the wall, and at the samc time commence those movements, con- sisting in the protrusion of protoplasmic processes, which they exhibit elsewhere. hese processes, sent out in all directions, extend themselves whore they mect with least resistance, through certain gaps or stomata which Cohnheim believes to exist in the veins between the epithelial cells of their inner membrane and in the capillaries between the similar cells which he believes to constitute their walls. The middle and outer coats of the veins are also supposed by him to possess interstices sufficient to allow the leucocytes to pass. The red corpuscles, which have no spon- taneous movements, he supposes 1o be forced by mere increase of hydrostatic pressure through the openings, already enlarged by the passage of the leucocytes. On this view, then, the structure of the vessels remains normal, though possessing a natural adap- tation for cell migration ; whilo others, on the contrary, deny the existonce of these openings in the yascular walls, and regard the permeability of the vessels to their contents as a morbid pheno- menon, and the essential cause of exudation and cell migration.

According to Dr. Burdon Sanilerson, the retardution of the blood current (which is the first stage of stasis), and the exuda- tion of liquor sanguinis, as well as that of the white and red corpuscles, are all due to the same cause, namely, a ‘local change in the vascular walls.” With respect to the nature of this change, he says that ‘‘fhe mode in which an injury changes the bving substance of the yascular walls so as to mako them permeable to the blood is unknown. The nature of the change itself’ is also unknown.” From certain appearances observed in the formation of new yessels he is, however, led to infor ‘that the primary change consists in the transition of the material from the formed into the plastic condition; from a state in which it is resistant, because inactiye, to one in which itis more living, and therefore nore labile,”

Theories of the Cause of Stasis—Whether this phenomenon be regarded as the cause, the consoqnonce, or the meve accompani- ment of exudation, its causation is a question of much interest, and was described in the first edition of this work as the great and unsolved problem of inflammation. Henle regarded it as due to the inspissation of the blood plasma, resulting from exudation ; this condition causing endosmotic changes in the red corpuscles, by which they are disposed to aggregate. Rokitansky suggested in addition the formation of fibrinous coagula. We do not doubt that the changes wrought by exudation, draining away of liq. sanguinis, multiplication of white corpuscles, and coagulation of the fibrine, may all exercise considerable influence in prolong- �

184 ORIGIN AND DEVELOPMENT OF CANCER, something of the disturbances of nutrition occasioned by unhealthy conditions of the blood quoad its chemical composition; we know something of the origin of rhowmatism, and gout, and syphilis, and of the effects they preduce; but they are very different from the phenomena of new formations. Surely the arising of a fibrous tumonr, an enchondroma, or a cancer, implies a very different kind of action to that which is observed in any blood discaso. We cer- tuinly believe the blood to be affected, probably in its chemical composition, as well as, and most importantly, in its vitel endow- ments, but we do not think it is the only scat of primary alteration. Were it so, how would it be possible to account for the constant preference inanifested by scirrhus, and by other twmours, for par- ticular sites? We conceive then, that in the case of cancer, the blood and the general system, but especially some partienlar part, haying suffered some unknowu deterioration or perversion of their vital power, a formative process is set up in the specially weakened part (perhaps in consequence of a blow or other injury), causing tho development of cell and fibre structure, which soon constitutes a new growth, endowed with powers of assimilation and vegetation to an almost indefinite extent. The tondency to cancorous disease, that is to say, the deterioration of the blood, and of the assimila- tive powers, may exist for a long time before it expresses itself in the tangible reality of a tumour; but when this is formed it becomes an engine for multiplication of similar tumours, and intensification of the cancerous diathesis. It is not possible to trace the process further back than to the tissues themselves. In tho vast majority of instances the growth manifestly originates within or in the interstices of textaral elements; in some few it has been foundin thecoats of the vessels, but in none has it been certainly proved to have originated in the blood, Cancerous growths haye, indeed, been seen within the veins, but this has been the result of perforation of their walls by formations external to them. Development proceeds in rudimentary cancerous tissue just as it would do in healthy; nuclei and fibres seem to arise in the same way; and the view taken of the pathological process must depend upon the light in which the physiological processes of growth and development are regarded.

Theories of the dexelopment of New Growths.—According to one theory the formation of new elements, whether in physiological or pathological circumstances, has been regarded as a production de nove, or as the transformation of an amorphous substance into formed elements, much as a saline solution transforms itself into crystals. ‘This may be called the dlastema theory, or the theory of free cell development. On this theory the formation of a new growth begins with the exudation (from the vessels) of a certain quantity of blastema, which proceeds to develop eell - and fibre-structure. In the case of morbid growths, such as cancer, the special character or morbidity of the growth depends upon the blood and genoral system, but especially on the particular �

 says he, is diffused more widely than is commonly believed; but it is often painted, yet oftener masked, and is sometimes mutilated and sometimes, alas! in close alliance with mischievous errors. The deeper, however, we penetrate into the ground of things, the more truth we discover in the doctrines of the greater number of the philosophical sects. The want of substantial reality in the objects of the senses, according to the sceptics; the harmonies or numbers, the prototypes and ideas, to which the Pythagoreans and Platonists reduced all things; the and  of Parmenides and Plotinus, without Spinozism; the necessary connection of things according to the Stoics, reconcileable with the spontaneity of the other schools; the vital-philosophy of the Cabalists and Hermetists, who assumed the universality of sensation; the substantial forms and entelechies of Aristotle and the schoolmen, together with the mechanical solution of all particular

 the lines, which we have drawn, in order to exclude the conceptions of others. I'ai trouvé que la plupart des sectes ont raison dans une bonne partie de ce qúelles avancent, mais non pas tant en ce qúelles nient.

A system, which aims to deduce the memory with all the other functions of intelligence, must of course place its first position from beyond the memory, and anterior to it, otherwise the principle of solution would be itself a part of the problem to be solved. Such a position therefore must, in the first instance be demanded, and the first question will be, by what right is it demanded? On this account I think it expedient to make some preliminary remarks on the introduction of in philosophy. The word postulate is borrowed from the science of mathematics. (See Schell. abhandl. zur Erläuter. des id. der Wissenschaftslehre.) In geometry the primary construction is not demonstrated, but postulated. This first and most simple construction in space is the point in motion, or the line. Whether the point is moved in one and the same direction, or whether its direction is continually changed, remains as yet undetermined. But if the direction of the point have been determined, it is either by a point without it, and then there arises the strait line which incloses no space; or the direction of the point is not determined


text:
Page:Biographia literaria; or, Biographical sketches of my literary life and opinions (IA biographialitera04cole).pdf/259

 by a point without it, and then it must flow back again on itself, that is, there arises a cyclical line, which does inclose a space. If the strait line be assumed as the positive, the cyclical is then the negation of the strait. It is a line, which at no point strikes out into the strait, but changes its direction continuously. But if the primary line be conceived as undetermined, and the strait line as determined throughout, then the cyclical is the third compounded of both. It is at once undetermined and determined; undetermined through any point without, and determined through itself. Geometry therefore supplies philosophy with the example of a primary intuition, from which every science that lays claim to evidence must take its commencement. The mathematician does not begin with a demonstrable proposition, but with an intuition, a practical idea.

But here an important distinction presents itself. Philosophy is employed on objects of the, and cannot, like geometry appropriate to every construction a correspondent outward intuition. Nevertheless philosophy, if it is to arrive at evidence, must proceed from the most original construction, and the question then is, what is the most original construction or first productive act for the. The answer to this question depends on the direction which is given to the


text:
Page:Biographia literaria; or, Biographical sketches of my literary life and opinions (IA biographialitera04cole).pdf/260

. But in philosophy the cannot have its direction determined by an outward object. To the original construction of the line, I can be compelled by a line drawn before me on the slate or on sand. The stroke thus drawn is indeed not the line itself, but only the image or picture of the line. It is not from it, that we first learn to know the line; but, on the contrary, we bring this stroke to the original line generated by the act of the imagination; otherwise we could not define it as without breadth or thickness. Still however this stroke is the sensuous image of the original or ideal line, and an efficient mean to excite every imagination to the intuition of it.

It is demanded then, whether there be found any means in philosophy to determine the direction of the, as in mathematics it is determinable by its specific image or outward picture. Now the inner sense has its direction determined for the greater part only by an act of freedom. One man's consciousness extends only to the pleasant or unpleasant sensations caused in him by external impressions; another enlarges his inner sense to a consciousness of forms and quantity; a third in addition to the image is conscious of the conception or notion of the thing; a fourth attains to a notion of his notions—he reflects on his own reflections; and thus we may say


text:
Page:Biographia literaria; or, Biographical sketches of my literary life and opinions (IA biographialitera04cole).pdf/261

 without impropriety, that the one possesses more or less inner sense, than the other. This more or less betrays already, that philosophy in its first principles must have a practical or moral, as well as a theoretical or speculative side. This difference in degree does not exist in the mathematics. Socrates in Plato shows, that an ignorant slave may be brought to understand and of himself to solve the most difficult geometrical problem. Socrates drew the figures for the slave in the sand. The disciples of the critical philosophy could likewise (as was indeed actually done by and some other followers of Des Cartes) represent the origin of our representations in copperplates; but no one has yet attempted it, and it would be utterly useless. To an Esquimaux or New Zealander our most popular philosophy would be wholly unintelligible. The sense, the inward organ, for it is not yet born in him. So is there many a one among us, yes, and some who think themselves philosophers too, to whom the philosophic organ is entirely wanting. To such a man, philosophy is a mere play of words and notions, like a theory of music to the deaf, or like the geometry of light to the blind. The connection of the parts and their logical dependencies may be seen and remembered; but the whole is groundless and hollow, unsustained by living contact, un-

 accompanied with any realizing intuition which exists by and in the act that affirms its existence, which is known, because it is, and is, because it is known. The words of Plotinus, in the assumed person of nature, hold true of the philosophic energy. . With me the act of contemplation makes the thing contemplated, as the geometricians contemplating describe lines correspondent; but I not describing lines, but simply contemplating, the representative forms of things rise up into existence.

The postulate of philosophy and at the same time the test of philosophic capacity, is no other than the heaven-descended ! (E cœlo descendit, ). And this at once practically and speculatively. For as philosophy is neither a science of the reason or understanding only, nor merely a science of morals, but the science of altogether, its primary ground can be neither merely speculative or merely practical, but both in one. All knowledge rests on the coincidence of an object with a subject. (My readers have been warned in a former chapter that for their convenience as well as the writer's, the term, subject is used by me in its scholastic sense as equivalent to mind or sentient being, and as

 she parted from her brothers and sisters, and her home. Nothing particular occurred till we reached Kirby. We had sunshine and showers, pleasant talk, love and cheerfulness. We were obliged to stay two hours at K. while the horses were feeding. We wrote a few lines to Sara, and then walked out; the sun shone, and we went to the churchyard after we had put a letter into the post-office for the York Herald. We sauntered about, and read the grave-stones. There was one to the memory of five children, who had all died within five years, and the longest lived had only lived four years

We left Kirby at about half-past two. There is not much variety of prospect from K. to Helmsley, but the country is very pleasant, being rich and woody, and Helmsley itself stands very sweetly at the foot of the rising grounds of Duncombe Park, which is scattered over with tall woods; and, lifting itself above the common buildings of the town, stands Helmsley Castle, now a ruin, formerly inhabited by the gay Duke of Buckingham. Every foot of the road was of itself interesting to us, for we had travelled along it on foot, William and I, when we went to fetch our dear Mary, and had sate upon the turf by the roadside more than once. Before we reached Helmsley, our driver told us that he could not take us any further, so we stopped at the same inn where we had slept before. My heart danced at the sight of its cleanly outside, bright yellow walls, casements overshadowed with jasmine, and its low, double gavel-ended front Mary and I warmed ourselves at the kitchen fire. We then walked into the garden, and looked over a gate, up to the old ruin which stands at the top of the mount, and round about it the moats are grown up into soft green cradles, hollows surrounded with green grassy hillocks, and these are overshadowed by old trees, chiefly ashes. I prevailed upon William to go up with me to the ruins The sun shone, it was warm and very pleasant. One part of the castle seems to be inhabited. There was a man mowing nettles in the open space

 which had most likely once been the castle-court. There is one gateway exceedingly beautiful. Children were playing upon the sloping ground. We came home by the street. After about an hour's delay, we set forward again; had an excellent driver, who opened the gates so dexterously that the horses never stopped. Mary was very much delighted with the view of the castle from the point where we had seen it before. I was pleased to see again the little path which we had walked upon, the gate I had climbed over, and the road down which we had seen the two little boys drag a log of wood, and a team of horses struggle under the weight of a great load of timber. We had felt compassion for the poor horses that were under the governance of oppression and ill-judging drivers, and for the poor boys, who seemed of an age to have been able to have dragged the log of wood merely out of the love of their own activity, but from poverty and bad food they panted for weakness, and were obliged to fetch their father from the town to help them. Duncombe house looks well from the road—a large building, though I believe only two-thirds of the original design are completed. We rode down a very steep hill to Rivaux valley, with woods all round us. We stopped upon the bridge to look at the Abbey, and again when we had crossed it. Dear Mary had never seen a ruined abbey before except Whitby. We recognised the cottages, houses, and the little valleys as we went along. We walked up a long hill, the road carrying us up the cleft or valley with woody hills on each side of us. When we went to G. H. I had walked down the valley alone. William followed me.

Before we had crossed the Hambledon Hill, and reached the point overlooking Yorkshire, it was quite dark. We had not wanted, however, fair prospects before us, as we drove along the flat plain of the high hill. Far far off from us, in the western sky, we saw shapes of castles, ruins among groves, a great spreading wood, rocks, and single trees, a minster with its tower

 unusually distinct, minarets in another quarter, and a round Grecian Temple also; the colours of the sky of a bright grey, and the forms of a sober grey, with a dome. As we descended the hill there was no distinct view, but of a great space; only near us we saw the wild (and as the people say) bottomless tarn in the hollow at the side of the hill. It seemed to be made visible to us only by its own light, for all the hill about us was dark. Before we reached Thirsk we saw a light before us, which we at first thought was the moon, then lime-kilns; but when we drove into the market-place it proved a large bonfire, with lads dancing round it, which is a sight I dearly love. The inn was like an illuminated house—every room full. We asked the cause, and were told by the girl that it was "Mr. John Bell's birthday, that he had heired his estate." The landlady was very civil. She did not recognise the despised foot-travellers. We rode on in the dark, and reached Leeming Lane at eleven o'clock

The next morning we set off at about half-past eight o'clock. It was a cheerful, sunny morning We had a few showers, but when we came to the green fields of Wensley, the sun shone upon them all, and the Ure in its many windings glittered as it flowed along under the green slopes of Middleham Castle. Mary looked about for her friend Mr. Place, and thought she had him sure on the contrary side of the vale from that on which we afterwards found he lived. We went to a new built house at Leyburn, the same village where William and I had dined on our road to Grasmere two years and three-quarters ago, but not the same house. The landlady was very civil, giving us cake and wine, but the horses being out we were detained at least two hours, and did not set off till two o'clock. We paid for thirty-five miles, i.e. to Sedbergh, but the landlady did not encourage us to hope to get beyond Hawes When we passed through the village of Wensley my heart melted away, with dear recollections—the bridge, the

 chambers were open all the year round; any one who had no roof of his own might take up his quarters in them. And they were occupied all the year round, strolling musicians roosted like birds of passage.

Tinklers tarried there till they had mended all the Loykas’s pots and pans and those of the whole of Frishets.

The kalounkar [tape-pedlar] who walked from Domazlik, and only occasionally went home for goods, dwelt in the Loykas’s chambers as though he were at home with all his family. Sometimes he was there several Sundays, got his victuals from Loyka’s kitchen, and had not even to say thank you for them. So it had been all his life long. The kalounkar’s grandfather and great-grandfather had received hospitality there from the Loykas—then, how could they refuse him a home there? Surely they would call down the wrath of heaven upon themselves should they venture to dismiss him. The kalounkar [tape-pedlar] was himself born there, his present young family was born there, the old Loykas were sponsors in baptism to the old kalounkar, the younger Loykas were sponsors to the wee kalounkars, so now there was a family connection. The Loykas would have felt ill at ease if at certain particular seasons they had been without kalounkar and without tinkers. Perhaps if their humble friends had not been at their house, the Loykas would have sent to search the district for them. At pilgrimage times, at festival times, or about the season of the village gala-they must needs be at the Loykas’s several Sundays before the great event, and several Sundays after it. So that, indeed, there were but few occasions in the year when they were absent.

Besides the kalounkar who sold ribbons, the cloth-pedlar walked the district, and he had even his stores at the Loykas’s. On Monday he drew forth from his chest various samples, beside cloth, all kinds of kerchiefs and stuffs for dresses, then he waited several days until Sunday drew nigh, or until the vigil of the village gala, and then he shouldered his pack and went. If it rained or if the weather was threatening, he did not sally forth, and all that time was an extra hand at table in common with the other servants.

And many an occasion occurred, moreover, when Loyka’s hospitality was reckoned upon or missed. People came to have their sieves mended or their knives ground, and also people drove or walked round by the Loykas’s with their implements from the field.

 little waterspout, the steep hill, the church. They are among the most vivid of my own inner visions, for they were the first objects that I saw after we were left to ourselves, and had turned our whole hearts to Grasmere as a home in which we were to rest. The vale looked most beautiful each way. To the left the bright silver stream inlaid the flat and very green meadows, winding like a serpent. To the right, we did not see it so far, it was lost among trees and little hills. I could not help observing, as we went along, how much more varied the prospects of Wensley Dale are in the summer time than I could have thought possible in the winter. This seemed to be in great measure owing to the trees being in leaf, and forming groves and screens, and thence little openings upon recesses and concealed retreats, which in winter only made a part of the one great vale. The beauty of the summer time here as much excels that of the winter, as the variety (owing to the excessive greenness) of the fields, and the trees in leaf half concealing, and—where they do not conceal—softening the hard bareness of the limey white roofs. One of our horses seemed to grow a little restive as we went through the first village, a long village on the side of a hill. It grew worse and worse, and at last we durst not go on any longer. We walked a while, and then the post boy was obliged to take the horse out, and go back for another. We seated ourselves again snugly in the post-chaise. The wind struggled about us and rattled the window, and gave a gentle motion to the chaise, but we were warm and at our ease within. Our station was at the top of a hill, opposite Bolton Castle, the Ure flowing beneath. William has since written a sonnet on this our imprisonment. Hard was thy durance, poor Queen Mary! compared with ours

We had a sweet ride till we came to a public-house on the side of a hill, where we alighted and walked

 down to see the waterfalls. The sun was not set, and the woods and fields were spread over with the yellow light of evening, which made their greenness a thousand times more green. There was too much water in the river for the beauty of the falls, and even the banks were less interesting than in winter. Nature had entirely got the better in her struggles against the giants who first cast the mould of these works; for, indeed, it is a place that did not in winter remind one of God, but one could not help feeling as if there had been the agency of some "mortal instruments," which Nature had been struggling against without making a perfect conquest. There was something so wild and new in this feeling, knowing, as we did in the inner man, that God alone had laid his hand upon it, that I could not help regretting the want of it; besides, it is a pleasure to a real lover of Nature to give winter all the glory he can, for summer will make its own way, and speak its own praises. We saw the pathway which William and I took at the close of evening, the path leading to the rabbit warren where we lost ourselves. Sloe farm, with its holly hedges, was lost among the green hills and hedgerows in general, but we found it out, and were glad to look at it again. William left us to seek the waterfalls

At our return to the inn, we found new horses and a new driver, and we went on nicely to Hawes, where we arrived before it was quite dark We rose at six o'clock—a rainy morning There was a very fine view about a mile from Hawes, where we crossed a bridge; bare and very green fields with cattle, a glittering stream, cottages, a few ill-grown trees, and high hills. The sun shone now. Before we got upon the bare hills, there was a hunting lodge on our right, exactly like Greta Hill, with fir plantations about it. We were very fortunate in the day, gleams of sunshine, passing clouds, that travelled with their shadows below them. Mary was much pleased with Garsdale. It was a dear place to William and me. We noted well the

 Thither also came people from the village, and inquired, “Is not the sieve-maker here at your house? Is not the knife-grinder here? We wanted sieves; we wanted to have our knives sharpened.” Without fail the sieve-maker appeared regularly before harvest, and the knife-grinder as regularly before the village festival.

In those chambers beside the coach-house reigned life and jollity. There the conversation never flagged, and in the evening even Loyka, the peasant, and sometimes, finally, his wife would pay them a visit. Here all that occurred in the district of general interest was recapitulated. So that you might refer to the Loykas’s as to a well-informed gazette. The kalounkar [tape-pedlar] and the cloth-pedlar tramped the whole district and had free access into every family—who then could know more than the cloth-pedlar and the kalounkar?

And then when a fiddler and harper came, there was nothing for it but that he should play and sing over every song he knew of modern and of ancient date, every event consigned to verse, songs of comic character and sprightly pieces of music—then the evenings were gay indeed. Hither, too, from the village a few stray folk would come and form an audience. Hither also Frank led his young companion, with whom he ensconced himself somewhere in a corner and listened.

The narratives which specially pleased Frank and his parents, mostly dated from long winter evenings which include the whole circle of the marvellous, from fierce banditi to black dogs and white women, so that the young people were half dazed with fright if they had to find their way home across the court-yard or across the village green.

Such was the hospitality of the Loykas that they became proverbial. And these same Loykas treated their own father who was pensioned off upon a reserved share of the field produce, so badly that he did not even dare draw water from their well!

In these chambers was also a constant guest—Vena, the general messenger, the half crazed man. If the Loykas had told him that they did not wish to have him any longer about the place, he would not have believed that they spoke in earnest, so thoroughly was he domesticated at their house.

Those chambers by the coach-house would no longer have been themselves if Vena had not been there. With him every one who entered them must sharpen his wit, and from him every one must submit to receive some rebuff either spoken in jest or earnest.

 public-house (Garsdale Hall) where we had baited and afterwards the mountain which had been adorned by Jupiter in his glory when we were here before. It was midday when we reached Sedbergh, and market day. We were in the same room where we had spent the evening together in our road to Grasmere. We had a pleasant ride to Kendal, where we arrived at two o'clock. The day favoured us. M. and I went to see the house where dear Sara had lived I am always glad to see Staveley; it is a place I dearly love to think of—the first mountain village that I came to with William when we first began our pilgrimage together Nothing particular occurred till we reached Ings chapel. The door was open, and we went in. It is a neat little place, with a marble floor and marble communion table, with a painting over it of the last supper, and Moses and Aaron on each side. The woman told us that "they had painted them as near as they could by the dresses as they are described in the Bible," and gay enough they are. The marble had been sent by Richard Bateman from Leghorn. The woman told us that a man had been at her house a few days before, who told her he had helped to bring it down the Red Sea, and she believed him gladly We ... arrived at Grasmere at about six o'clock on Wednesday evening, the 6th of October 1802 I cannot describe what I felt We went by candle light into the garden, and were astonished at the growth of the brooms, Portugal laurels, etc. etc. etc. The next day, Thursday, we unpacked the boxes. On Friday, 8th Mary and I walked first upon the hill-side, and then in John's Grove, then in view of Rydale, the first walk that I had taken with my sister.

Monday, 11th.—A beautiful day. We walked to the Easedale hills to hunt waterfalls. William and Mary left me sitting on a stone on the solitary mountains, and went to Easedale tarn The approach to the tarn

193 No, I don't know that it was. I mean, it's clearly after he was in the White House. But it could have been 2017 or 2018 or 2019.

All right.

It wasn't in 2017. I can say that. So 2018, 2019, or 2020.

And did Ms. Wren in that first phone call—she's saying the President's going to speak on the 6th. Did she say who she was working with from Trump world on the event?

No, she—I just for clarification, she didn't say that Trump was—

Possibility.

Yeah, possibility.

Yes.

And, no, I—you know, again, you know, I saw her and introduced her on that conference call that we all talked about earlier as like the—with Caroline Wren with the Trump campaign.

Did she—okay. Did she ever relay to you at any point between that first call and January 6th who, if anyone, she was working with within Trump world on this—on the events on the 5th and 6th?

She mentioned passing, you know, she mentioned passing conversations like with Kimberly Guilfoyle and, you know, Oh, I'm talking to Charlie Kirk, and stuff like that. And, you know, she would give me these periodic updates.

Did she ever convey to you that she had spoken to President Trump about the events?

I'm not sure, but that is my impression.

Did she ever convey to you that she talked to Don, Jr., the President's son, about the events?

179 But just to say how things were moving is that that contract is either signed on 1-2 or 1-3. So that's how in flux a lot of these things are.

And like—and I think part of the reason I'm here testifying today instead of taking the stance that several other, you know, I think well-meaning people are is because I want y'all to understand the timeline, because none of these other press pieces have them correct. And it just seems like a stupid shame.

 * BY :

Why is Ms. Wren going to you to make the website marchtosaveamerica.com?

No, I got the—we got the name from her of what we were going to call The Ellipse. And we made the website, and because we were trying to figure out who makes the website. I'm a guy of action. I'm, like, let's just make a website. Whether we control it, whether we hand it over, whether we delete it, I need the website done.

And the March to Save America website included directions to start at The Ellipse and then march to the Capitol grounds on January 6th?

I don't recall any of the contents of that website. I know that we went, like, for a different color scheme. But that's the extent to marchtosaveamerica.com, what I recall of it.

Why didn't you just fold in everything that you wanted to advertise in the trumpmarch.com website?

I didn't own trumpmarch.com.

Who owned trumpmarch.com?

It's my understanding that that's Women for America First and their consultant, Scott Graves.

And if you all were working together on this, how come you-all didn't make a

Page:CTRL0000034607 - Deposition of Ali Alexander, (Dec. 9, 2021).pdf/180

180 website together?

Through working through Caroline Wren, because we weren't talking to them and they weren't talking to us.

 * BY :

Wren told to you make marchtosaveamerica.com. Did she give you money to create that?

She didn't tell me to make the website. She gave me the name, because I know they were making a decision outside of my—I know I gave, at some point, some suggestions of what we should call The Ellipse event.

Oh, I'm sorry. A minute ago you said, "I said we should just create a website," and you said, "Caroline Wren gave me the name March to Save America. Got it."

And I don't mean the domain name. I mean the literal phrase.

Got it. Did you buy the marchtosaveamerica.com domain?

Yes, I believe so.

Okay. How did you do it? Who paid for that?

Me.

How?

I don't know if I owned it as my persons, or if I owned it as Stop the Steal, but Stop the Steal is just me. So that's what that was.

And for, I think you said Stop the Steal U.S., Wild Protest, Fight for Trump, and March to Save America, did I get all your websites right?

I believe so.

Okay. Because I excluded Trump March after you said that wasn't you. Were all of those post-creation Stop the Steal—remember our conversation earlier when

181 you said, "Oh, after Stop the Steal, I was using Donorbox"? Were you using Donorbox for the fund raiding on all of those sites?

I believe so.

Okay.

Around the dates we're talking about?

Well, I hadn't—from what I remember you saying, you had said after you created Stop the Steal, I want to say two thousand—when was that, November—

I originally created Stop the Steal in 2018.

That's what I had in my notes. I thought you had said, after you created that, you were using Donorbox.

Okay. That is not what I mean at all.

Oh, okay. So, let's actually clarify that, because that's really important. When we were talking about the time earlier, I thought you had said, I was using personal stuff, PayPal, et cetera, to my person; and then when Stop the Steal was created, I moved to Donorbox.

Uh-huh.

I thought you had said Stop the Steal was created in November 2018. So I thought that's when you were using Donorbox. But let's clarify. When did you stop collecting the money personally?

The collection of the funds personally was from my personal activism. When Stop the Steal 2020 became a more organized effort that I knew was going to involve other people, accountability, you know, all that other crap, that was—we got off my person as soon as we could. And so, that requires first doing an LLC, then setting up something or applying for something. I think you have to get a Stripe account, connect it to your Donorbox account. So there's several moving technical parts, some of which


text:
Page:CTRL0000034607 - Deposition of Ali Alexander, (Dec. 9, 2021).pdf/182

182 I'm aware of and others which, you know, I may not be aware of.

And then as soon as we could, you know, because it's a volunteer effort, we make stopthesteal.us' button, donate button, not go to my personal site where people can support me or any of my friends, but instead support a broader thing where, you know, each person's running their own State.

Okay. I think I understand now.

So prior to Stop the Steal 2020 creation was when you were using the personal stuff. I think you said PayPal and—

For part of November.

For part of November 2020?

Yes.

Okay.

Stop the Steal, Stop the Steal as a hashtag, Stop the Steal as an Ali Alexander effort that harkened back to the themes of 2018, that was personal. That was personal. When Stop the Steal got an LLC—and I believe and we've submitted that paperwork—we began the process of moving that all over so that an organization could have that.

And I thought you said earlier all your tweets, et cetera, like, when you would fundraise prior to November 2020, that was also all personal, either PayPal or some kind of direct transfer to you.

Prior to November 2020?

Right.

Like October 2020 and prior?

I mean just prior to 2020. You were doing fundraising, I'm assuming, prior—

For what?


text:
Page:CTRL0000034607 - Deposition of Ali Alexander, (Dec. 9, 2021).pdf/183

183 Well, for your activism, with your tweets, I mean—oh, here. Let me ask it a different way. When did you start fundraising?

When I have one-off projects, I fundraise it. I'm sorry. I fundraised, and it really depends on what that project is. I've had a variety of clients. And then if I'm doing a project under my own name, then I'll say, I'll ask people to contribute to me.

So I did a documentary in 2019, a 20-minute documentary. And I raised money for that. I don't know if that was through the entity that published the documentary or through my persons.

Okay. So—

But there was no—and I've seen this in this binder. I'll just leave it there.

No. I think I understand what you're saying. For these websites that I'm assuming Stop the Steal U.S., Wild Protest, Fight for Trump, March to Save America, what was the fundraising mechanism for those?

Those websites came after November 4th. So—

Right. Donorbox?

The websites themselves, like even those domains, if I own stopthesteal.us from 2018, then it was probably dormant. And those other sites are all in particular, like, January 6th focused. So I couldn't have owned them before December 16th.

No, I know. I'm saying after you created them, what was the fundraising mechanism when you set—

Donorbox.

Donorbox. Yeah, okay. That's what I thought. Okay.

And did that ever change?

Through January 6th?

These websites, if I was understanding you, you used Donorbox for

Page:CTRL0000034607 - Deposition of Ali Alexander, (Dec. 9, 2021).pdf/191

191 What does that mean?

I forgot. He—Trump or the White House or Dan did something that ticked a lot of people off in my community. And, again, this isn't, I don't think, pertinent to January 6th at all. But this was years ago. And he—so we started a campaign to block Dan, to try to get at his ego.

Okay.

And I know that probably ticked him off.

So the last time you've actually spoken to Dan Scavino was in 2019.

I believe so.

Did you have his number in your phone?

No, I don't have his number that I recall.

All right. And Arthur Schwartz, is that someone you know?

I've had a few more interactions with Arthur Schwartz.

Did you communicate with him at all about January 6th?

No, I don't believe so.

So when you say you went out of your way to stay away from the White House, did you have anyone in the White House who could have invited you in to come by at that time?

Anyone of any influence can get a ticket at the—for a White House Christmas party.

Okay.

So that's what I mean by that.

But no one in particular that you had a connection with in the White House.

No, I mean, no. It would be like the broader—no.

Was it your perception that President Trump knew who you were?


text:
Page:CTRL0000034607 - Deposition of Ali Alexander, (Dec. 9, 2021).pdf/190

190 House politics. And I thought it would be a weird or bad look if I disagreed—there are several times when I publicly disagreed with the White House. And when you do that, I think you want to distance and you want your independence. You don't want someone to be able to call you and tell what you to do, and conversely you also don't want to be somebody's whipping boy.

And so I—they weren't paying me. So whenever I'm talking to a State legislator or someone, and saying this is the political fallout, I don't want anyone to think President Trump told this kid to come up and threaten me. I didn't want that to be perceived. So I made sure I didn't go to the White House Christmas party, you know, or anything like that.

Were you invited to the White House Christmas party?

No. But what happens is the White House throws several White House Christmas parties, and it's the last one. So if I wanted an invite, I could have got one.

You referred to Dan Scavino as Dan, by his first name. Do you know him?

We know of each other, you know. We've had positive interactions publicly and privately, and then publicly, I've disagreed with some of his techniques.

When what are the private interactions you've had with him?

It's documented I went to the White House and I believe it's 2019 for a social media summit, and I was in a room with a lot of people. And Dan was there, and I walked in late. And he said, Hey, Ali. And it was very positive. And there was a gentleman who had been blocked, I guess accidentally, by the President's account. And Dan unblocked him.

Okay. But did you ever have any other interaction with Dan Scavino other than the social media influencer event in 2019?

I think the other ones just, you know, remain public, you know.

Page:CTRL0000034607 - Deposition of Ali Alexander, (Dec. 9, 2021).pdf/189

189 Okay.

I don't believe I went to the White House at all during Stop the Steal. I went out of my way to not.

When planning for January 6th with Ms. Wren, when you were talking to her, was the coalition partners responsible for fundraising on their own?

No. Not for—no—let me clarify. Not for The Ellipse events.

So how did the fundraising work for The Ellipse event?

I have no idea.

How did the fundraising for the Wild Protest event?

That was all on me.

How did you raise funds for the Wild Protest?

Me and other influencers would tweet out the Donorbox link.

Approximately how much money did you raise for the Wild Protest event?

I don't recall. I have seen an image floating around on the internet, and what I can't figure out is if that figure is for everything that we raised for the website on Stop the Steal, or during a period or for just that cause, because I don't have access to be able to parse that data.

Did you receive funds for any of your—did Stop the Steal receive funds from any other entities in planning events on January 5th and 6th?

I'll think about that, so that I can try to drum up something if there is something.

 * BY MR.

Why did you go out of your way to stay away from the White House during the Stop the Steal effort?

I was doing something very unconventional, and I didn't want to play White

 is very beautiful. We expected to have found Coleridge at home, but he did not come till after dinner. He was well, but did not look so.

Tuesday, 12th October.—We walked with Coleridge to Rydale.

Wednesday, 13th.—Set forwards with him towards Keswick, and he prevailed us to go on. We consented, Mrs. C. not being at home. The day was delightful

Thursday, 14th.—We went in the evening to Calvert's. Moonlight. Stayed supper.

Saturday, 16th.—Came home, Mary and I. William returned to Coleridge before we reached Nadel Fell. Mary and I had a pleasant walk. The day was very bright; the people busy getting in their corn. Reached home at about five o'clock

Sunday, 17th.—We had thirteen of our neighbours to tea. William came in just as we began tea.

Saturday, 30th October.—William is gone to Keswick. Mary went with him to the top of the Raise. She is returned, and is now sitting near me by the fire. It is a breathless, grey day, that leaves the golden woods of autumn quiet in their own tranquillity, stately and beautiful in their decaying. The lake is a perfect mirror.

William met Stoddart at the bridge at the foot of Legberthwaite dale They surprised us by their arrival at four o'clock in the afternoon After tea, S. read Chaucer to us.

Monday, 31st October. — William and S. went to Keswick. Mary and I walked to the top of the hill and looked at Rydale. I was much affected when I stood upon the second bar of Sara's gate. The lake was perfectly still, the sun shone on hill and vale, the distant birch trees looked like large golden flowers.

188 I recall the President's account retweeting me, and I recall that tweet disappearing.

Who is Arthur Schwartz?

Arthur Schwartz is a Jewish Republican individual. I think he does PR, or I'm not sure how you would characterize his services. And he did a lot of work with Don, Jr., Donald Trump, Jr.

And in that, "Dan" would refer I assume to Mr. Dan Scavino in the text? So the text, to be clear, is in exhibit 26 at page 102 is where you say this.

In 102?

Yes. I'm just want to make sure that when it says Arthur Schwartz got Dan, we're talking about Dan Scavino.

And I know that Arthur Schwartz hated my guts.
