master suffers. From long babit of imparting his knowledge almost dogmatically and without fear of contradiction, the
schoolmaster comes to think dogmatically and sometimes even to extend his third form cocksurecess to grown-ups. Grown-ups never like this. Even Queen Victoria complained that Mr. Gladstone spoke to her as if she was
a public meeting.
Now unfortunately England among the nations has played the part of a schoolmaster: to some extent, even, she has been a successful school master. But she has acquired the teaching manner, that professional cocksureness which is the badge of all the tribe. This many do for the third form the Kaffir or the Fijian; but when it is applied to grown-ups, especially to grown-ups who have a sense of bumour-well, they resent
it.
The consequence is, the Irishman thinks the Englishman very stupid. And there is no doubt of it the
man and of the other as the U- speakable Scot, And the latter has replied by publishing a book called the Egregious Englishman. But this is a misnomer. To the Irishman he is the anteachable Englishman, Nothing seems to be a lesson to him, It is this bovire indocility on the part of the Englishman which has pro duced what I might call the Sibylline
