Yet Mill would have never doubted that Kingsley was as honest in the freaks of feeling which made him a tory, as in the freaks of feeling which made him a socialist. The real lesson taught by Charles Kingsley's life is this : that he was the most impulsive, the most inconsistent, the most passionate, and, at heart, the most conscientious, of human beings. It is this fact that makes the account of his school and college life so interesting. Young students will find ir. it much to inspire them wi...th a desire to emulate his virtues ; but his solid virtues were so bound up with his fascinating defects, that whoever emulates him must take care not to imitate in whole what is only valuable in part. Kingsley never arrived at intellectual and moral manhood. He was a boy, — a grand, a glorious boy, when he first appeared as a dogmatic man, assuming to direct English thought ; and a boy, a splendid boy, he remained to the last year of his life. All his vagaries of opinion and sentiment, all the strange inconsistencies of his career, all the sense and all the nonsense which alternately shocked or attracted his contemporaries, were properly to be referred to the plain fact that he never became a mature man.
