Excerpt from Samuel Butler, Author of Erewhon (1835-1902), Vol. 1 of 2: A Memoir; To 1885 People sometimes give me to understand that it is a piece of ridiculous conceit on my part to jot down so many notes about myself, since it implies a confidence that I shall one day be regarded as an interesting person. I answer that neither I nor they can form any idea as to Whether I shall be wanted when I am gone or no. The chances are that I Shall not. I am quite aware of it. So the chances are that I shall not live to be 85; but I have no right to settle it so I prefer the modest insurance of keeping up my notes which others may burn or no as they please.

Not illustrated. 1919 edition. Excerpt: ...paying 28 rent for his own rooms in Clifford's Inn, or about 36 in all, including rates and taxes. Then he asked: " Have you any idea how much Pauli made by his profession? " One of his fellow-travellers replied: " I do not know how he has been doing of late years, but many years ago--perhaps twenty, but I cannot be certain--he told me he was earning about 700." Butler remembered his father's letter in 1879 saying he had been told that Pauli was making 1000 a year, and how Pauli had indignantly denied that he was making more than his bare expenses. Then Butler heard that during his last illness Pauli had been properly looked after, that he had well-to-do DISCLOSURES 285 friends who saw that he had every comfort, that he was 189 conscious till about six hours before the end, and that he Aet' 6l died without any pain or struggle. Presently we reached Brookwood and went to the mortuary chapel, where the service was read with an unctuous affectation that I have seldom heard exceeded, and thence to the grave. After the coffin had been duly lowered and the service ended, we were asked to a luncheon which had been brought down with us from London. Everything was done regardless of expense and I was wondering who in the world was paying for it--or rather I should have wondered if I had not heard about... the well-to-do friends--when I reflected, with a certain satisfaction, that for once in my life I was making a hearty meal at what was very nearly Pauli's expense. It was the nearest thing to a dinner from him that I had ever had. Then it appeared that Pauli had left his brother 1000 as though there were more than jTtooo disposed of under Pauli's will. And here the reserve which I had maintained very sufficiently...

In the wake of the 2009 Darwin bicentenary, Samuel Butler (1835-1902) is becoming as well known for his public attack on Darwin's character and the basis of his scientific authority as for his novels Erewhon and The Way of All Flesh. In the first monograph devoted to Butler's ideas for over twenty years, David Gillott offers a much-needed reappraisal of Butler's work and shows how Lamarckian ideas pervaded the whole of Butler's wide-ranging ouevre, and not merely his evolutionary theory. In particular, he argues that Lamarckism was the foundation on which Butler's attempt to undermine professional authority in a variety of disciplines was based. Samuel Butler against the Professionals provides new insight into a fascinating but often misunderstood writer, and on the surprisingly broad application of Lamarckian ideas in the decades following publication of the Origin of Species.
