Excerpt from The New Republic: Or Culture, Faith, and Philosophy in an English Country House Towards the close of last July, when the London season was fast dying of the dust, Otho Laurence had invited what the Morning Post called a select circle of friends, to spend a quiet Sunday with him at his cool villa by the sea.

Thus it's a book not likely to interest the average reader of the 2010s, but if you know your Victorian intellectuals (and I do), there's some fun stuff: Stockton (the Tyndall stand-in) telling people you need to know atomic theory to really appreciate the Alps, Storks (the Huxley stand-in) eyeing everyone like they're a butterfly he's going to pin, Herbert (the Ruskin stand-in) declaring that all scientists should bury themselves. It's a fun enough glimpse at a moment in time, and how science-- especially science's claim to moral authority-- was understood by at least one writer.
