The object of this effort of Sir Henry Tyler's was obvious enough, and Mr.Bradlaugh commented: "The above letters make it pretty clear that Sir Henry W.Tyler having failed in his endeavour to get the science classes stopped at the Hall of Science, having also failed in his attempt to induce Sir W.Vernon Harcourt to prosecute myself and Mrs.Besant as editors and publishers of this journal, desires to make me personally and criminally responsible for the contents of a journal I neither edit nor publish, over which I have not a shadow of control, and in which I have not the smallest interest.

Why does Sir H.W.Tyler so ardently desire to prosecute, me for blasphemy?
Is it because two convictions will under the 9th and 10th Will.III.cap.32, render me 'for ever' incapable of sitting in Parliament ?" The _Whitehall Review_ frankly put this forward as an object to be gained, and Mr.Bradlaugh was summoned to the Mansion House on a charge of publishing blasphemous libels in the _Freethinker_; meanwhile Sir Henry Tyler put a notice on the Order Book to deprive "the daughters of Mr.Charles Bradlaugh" of the grant they had earned as science teachers, and got an order which proved to be invalid, but which was acted on, to inspect Mr.Bradlaugh's and my own private banking accounts, I being no party to the case.

Looking back, I marvel at the incredible meannesses to which Sir Henry Tyler and others stooped in defence of "religion"-- Heaven save the mark! Let me add that his motion in the House of Commons was a complete failure, and it was emphasised by the publication at the same time of the successful work, both as teachers and as students, of the "daughters of Mr.Charles Bradlaugh," and of my being the only student in all England who had succeeded in taking honours in botany.
I must pause a moment to chronicle, in September, 1882, the death of Dr.Pusey, whom I had sought in the whirl of my early religious struggles.

I wrote an article on him in the _National Reformer_, and ended by laying a tribute on his grave: "A strong man and a good man.
Utterly out of harmony with the spirit of his own time, looking with sternly-rebuking eyes on all the eager research, the joyous love of nature, the earnest inquiry into a world doomed to be burnt up at the coming of its Judge.

An ascetic, pure in life, stern in faith, harsh to unbelievers because sincere in his own cruel creed, generous and tender to all who accepted his doctrines and submitted to his Church.
He never stooped to slander those with whom he disagreed.
