Butler, Samuel, 1835-1902

"The Note-Books of Samuel Butler"


1881. A property at Shrewsbury, in which under his grandfather's
will he had a reversionary interest contingent on his surviving his
father, was re-settled so as to make his reversion absolute: he
mortgaged this reversion and bought small property near London: this
temporarily alleviated his financial embarrassment but added to his
work, for he spent much time in the management of the houses, learnt
book-keeping by double-entry and kept elaborate accounts.
Alps and Sanctuaries of Piedmont and the Canton Ticino illustrated by
the author, Charles Gogin and Henry Festing Jones: an account of his
holiday travels with dissertations on most of the subjects that
interested him: MS. with H. F. Jones.
1882. A new edition of Evolution Old and New, with a short preface
alluding to the recent death of Charles Darwin, an appendix and an
index.
1883. Began to compose music as nearly as he could in the style of
Handel.
1884. Selections from Previous Works with "A Psalm of Montreal" and
"Remarks on G. J. Romanes' Mental Evolution in Animals."
1885. Death of Miss Savage.
Gavottes, Minuets, Fugues and other short pieces for the piano by
Samuel Butler and Henry Festing Jones: MS. with H. F. Jones.
1886. Holbein's La Danse: a note on a drawing in the Museum at
Basel.
Stood, unsuccessfully, for the Professorship of Fine Arts in the
University of Cambridge.
