Zangwill, Israel, 1864-1926

"Without Prejudice"

Paul's? Is Euclid played out? Is there a
fourth dimension of space? Which is the real old Curiosity Shop? Is
the Continental man better educated than the Briton? Why can't we
square the circle? or solve equations to the _n_th degree? or
colour-print in England? What is the use of South Kensington? Is
paraffin good for baldness? or eucalyptus for influenza? How many
elements are there? Should cousins marry? or the House be adjourned
on Derby Day? Do water-colours fade? Will the ether theory live? or
Stanley's reputation? Is Free Trade fair? Is a Free Press? Is
fox-hunting cruel? or pigeon-shooting? How about the Queen's
staghounds? Should not each railway station bear its name in big
letters? and have better refreshments? Should we permit sky-signs?
Limits of advertisement. Preservation of historic buildings and
beautiful views _v_. utilitarianism. Is the coinage ugly? Should we
not get letters on Sunday? Who really wrote the "Marseillaise"? Are
examinations any real test? Promotion in the Army or the Civil
Service. Is logic or mathematics the primal science? and what is the
best system of symbolic logic? Should curates be paid more and
archbishops less? Should postmen knock? or combine? Are they under
military regime? or underpaid? Should Board School children be taught
religion? The future of China and Japan.
