The chapter of Culture and Anarchy here printed was first published as an essay in The Cornhill Magazine, June, 1868. 286.-5. Bishop Wilson: an English bishop (1663-1755); Arnold had already, in Chap. II., quoted this saying from his Maxims. 287.-25-26. "that we might be partakers," etc.; 2 Pet. i. 4.36. Frederick Robertson: an Anglican clergyman, who had a brilliant career at Brighton, cut short by death in 1853; the sermon referred to (The Grecian, preached Dec. 6, 1849) is the more striking as an illustration of Arnold's point because Robertson was comparatively modern and liberal. 288.-3. Heinrich Heine: a German poet of Hebrew descent (1797-1856); Professor Gates thinks that Arnold probably took the terms "Hebraism" and "Hellenism" from Heine, and translates as follows from Heine's Über Ludwig Börne:–“ All men are either Jews or Hellenes, men ascetic in their instincts, hostile to culture, spiritual fanatics, or men of vigorous good cheer, full of the pride of life, Naturalists" (Selections from the Prose Writings of Matthew Arnold, Holt & Co., 1897).-17-19. He that keepeth the law, . . . His commandments: Prov. xxix. 18; Ps. cxii. 1.-26-27. "C'est le bonheur des hommes "=" It is the good fortune of men."-27-30. Cf.

Plato: in the Phædo. 291.-13. sweetness and light: the phrase is borrowed from Swift (see 66, 32), as Arnold duly acknowledges in Chap. 1.; but he puts the expression to new use, meaning by it beauty and intelligence.-18. the true Socrates of the Memorabilia: Socrates as portrayed in the Memorabilia of Socrates by Xenophon, his disciple, in distinction from the Socrates of Plato's Dialogues, in which Socrates is used in part as the mouthpiece of Plato. 292.-5.

George Herbert: the poet and clergyman (1593-1633), one of the saintliest men in the English Church. Professor Gates thinks Arnold is quoting loosely, from memory, a line of the following stanza in Herbert's poem, The Size:"Thy Saviour sentenced joy, And in the flesh condemned it as unfit, At least in lump; for such doth oft destroy; Doth 'tice us on to hopes of more, And, for the present, health restore." The stanza and the poem as a whole are less ascetic than Arnold's misquotation would lead one to suppose.-16. "Let no man deceive you," etc.: Eph. v. 6.-21. baptized into a death: Rom. vi. 3. 294.-3. "entrusted with the oracles of God": Rom. iii. 2.6. foolishness: 1 Cor. i. 20. 296.-19. Balaam's ass: Num. xxii. 28. THOMAS HENRY HUXLEY. ON A PIECE OF CHALK.
