I do not think he read much. He was not generally curious. Myreading habit I developed at home and do not recall that Morleyever directed my attention to any book, unless it was some cheapschool textbook used in my work. But at times he would get excitedby his morning paper and then we would have a discourse on thegeography of the North West Frontier with an appeal to a decayingyellow map of Asia that hung on the wall, or we would follow thesearch for Livingstone by Stanley in Darkest Africa. He had tracesof early Radicalism and a Republican turn of mind; he would discourseupon the extravagant Parliamentary grants made in thosedays to the various members of the Royal Family when they married,and about the unnecessary costliness of the army and navy. Hebelieved that Mr. Gladstone really stood for "Peace, Retrenchmentand Reform." All sorts of Radical principles may have filtered intomy receptive mind from these obiter dicta.
