marshal, that my brothers and I saw most
of him. I think that during the years of his judgeship I came to
know all his opinions, and share most of them. One result of his
strong memory, and the immense quantity of talking and reading that
he had done in his life, was that he was never at a loss for
conversation. But to attempt to give an idea of what his intimate
talk was like when he conversed at his ease about all manner of men
and things is not my business. It was, of course, impossible to
live in the house with him without being impressed by his
extraordinary industry. The mere bulk of the literary work he did
at Anaverna would make it a surprising product of fifteen long
vacations, and there was not a page of it which had not involved an
amount of arduous labour which most men would regard as the
antithesis of holiday-making. This, however, as the present
biography will have shown, was his normal habit, and these notes
are designed to indicate that it did not prevent him from enjoying,
when away from books and pens and ink, a happy and vigorous life.

possible precisely because the properties of the society are simply the
sum of the properties of the individuals of which it is composed. His
view of the importance of this theory is given in his _Autobiography_
(first edition), p. 260. And see especially his _Logic_, Bk. vi. chap.
