But this confirmed habit, waicii analysed. is seen as a prelim- iniiry to nll our reforms. WIIRISOGVQX‘ mils forth that grumbling had better look to itself, for behind all the‘r sentiment the English are an eminently practical nation. with a genius for ighting the wrong. Ii} rzie o his books the learned s;< fish geologist. Hush Mifcr, tells us some of his impres- sicris of English character. He says that when an Englishman strayed into Scotland. he ac- quainted everybody with his business and told where h» crime from and ii-hcrc he was going to. Perhaps this iiiav lizive been true in Mills-Vs dar. but no Englishman that I knew, would have trusted a stranger with a know-ledge of his bus'ness. The English ifoofncss, in fact, could scarcely bc exaggerated: and one might travel a couple of hundred milcs iii a compartment of a rail- way carriage, along with a doren fellow‘ passengers, without hearing any conversation beyond the col- lector's "Tickets, please!" One lnxritcr considers this reluctance to I "liai'-fellciv-ivcll-mct,“ as ricial and complete lack of .

I have heard that . War brought about wrrat changes iii this respect, with more "softitility". Another dominant trait is the dislike of variety. novelty, or flllllsc. The English prefer same- iicssmmiotony and repetition. This. fire. sure, 1S due to the "best bad cumate in the world." (as I have heard it described).
