Excerpt from Chapters on Animals
It is probable that Dr. Arnold's disinclination for the study of animal life, and his painful feelings regarding it, had their origin In a peculiarity of his which made him such an excellent schoolmaster - the intense pleasure with which he contemplated moral'and intellectual advance, a pleasure which had for its shadow a feeling of intense disgust for incorrigibles. To a man with these feelings always highly-wrought, and even rather over-excited by the nature of his work, a man always anxious to make good Christians and cultivated gentlemen, the brute world must have seemed a very discouraging kind of material.
