	SIR JAMES FITZJAMES STEPHEN - LoveToKnow Article on SIR JAMES FITZJAMES STEPHEN (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		By Maine's introduction, Stephen became a member of the Cambridge society known as the Apostles, in form not very different from many other essay societies, in substance a body with an unformulated but most individual tradition of open-mindedness and absolute mutual tolerance in all matters of opinion.
		Stephen formed friendships with some of its members, which were as permanent, though in few cases so little subject to external interruption, as his intimacy with Maine.
		Besides the special work of legislation, Stephen had to attend to the current administrative business of his department, often heavy enough to occupy the whole of an ordinary able mans attention, and he took his full share in the general deliberations of the viceroys council.

		What Stephen and other academic radicals were attempting was to convince their readers that Christian doctrine was incredible and that the institution upholding that doctrine was an obstacle to political and social reform, namely the Church of England, described by one as ‘the praying section of the Tory party’.

		Stephen seems to have felt, at times, that editorial work was drudgery; but, at least, as contributor to The Cornhill Magazine, he had a free hand; and the three series of Hours in a Library made up of his articles may fairly be taken to show him at his best as a critic.
		Stephen’s most ambitious and weightiest books, however, lie outside the sphere both of literary criticism and of biography.
		Thus, Leslie Stephen was nearly forty before his name became familiar to the public outside literary circles.

		His contemporary Sir Francis Child, Lord Mayor, and a founder of the Bank of England, built Osterley House, and was ancestor of the earls of Jersey and Westmoreland.
		One explanation is suggested by a phrase attributed to Sir Josiah Child.(7*) The laws, he said, were a heap of nonsense, compiled by a few ignorant country-gentlemen, who hardly knew how to make good laws for the government of their own families, much less for the regulation of companies and foreign commerce.
		He meant that the parliamentary legislation of the century was the work of amateurs, not of specialists; of an assembly of men more interested in immediate questions of policy or personal intrigue than in general principles, and not of such a centralised body as would set a value upon symmetry and scientific precision.

		Virginia woolf and her mother: Julia Stephen as an angel in the house Virginia Woolf’s mother had an immense impact on Woolf’s writing career and the image of the angel in the house that so haunted Woolf was also the image of her own mother.
		For Woolf, Julia Stephen occupied her entire childhood; she was “the centre” of “the common life of the family”: I suspect the word `central' gets closest to the general feeling I had of living so completely in her atmosphere that one never got far enough away from her to see her as a person.
		Leslie Stephen’s death in 1904 and the sudden demise from typhoid of her favorite brother, Thoby, two years later all greatly influenced the young Woolf.
