144 NOTES. Outlines of English Literature (1890), Ethics (1893), Logic (1896), The Events of the Reign (1897), and The Story of Thought and Feeling (1900). Mr. By land was also a contributor to MIND and The Academy, and edited Swift's Journal to Stella (for Bohn's Library), several of John- son's Lives of the Poets, London and the Vanity of Human Wishes, Pope's Rape of the Lock, The Essay on Man, The Essay on Criticism, and a Selection of Browning's Poems. Apart from his philosophical and literary attainments, Mr. Ryland had achieved during the last five and twenty years considerable distinction as a teacher and lecturer, being, at the time of his death, Assistant Pro- fessor of Philosophy at University College, London. Remarkably clear- sighted and logical, he possessed not only the faculty of getting to the heart of things and bringing forward the essential parts of his subject^ but also an intuitive appreciation and sympathetic patience with his hearers' difficulties. In diction invariably simple and correct, he con- veyed with apparent ease the most subtle ideas into the minds of others, and could make the driest facts interesting. In a very wide sense hi& pupils became his friends, and loving this part of his work for its own sake, the fear that ill-health might force him to give it up was latterly one of his greatest troubles.
