Not illustrated. 1907 edition. Excerpt: ...and it begins in the family you are surrounded with, when you first manifest in outward form. The Unit is first an atom in the Whole. When the Whole divides into countless fragments, each fragment constitutes a Unity. This Unity in its turn divides and the separated fractions become other fragments or Unities, and these in their turn become races of elementals, animals, men. Each according to its kind evolves towards the perfection he is capable of producing. The Ideal that exists in the Divinity is latent, and ultimately becomes manifest.

Humanity does not begin in the Human form alone, for many higher animals are human in their last manifestation in an animal shape. It depends on the power of love, unselfish, pure selfsacrificc. Therefore there may be Human beings, that are only elementals masquerading in human shape. The border line is never strictly defined; everything overlaps. because all are part of one, and all will return into the Unity, plus the individuality gained during the period Now these family ties are loosened, not cut, and the soul is naturally attracted by its fellows, the ones known best, and follows them instinctively, first as a flock of sheep follow their leader, and afterwards willingly as a dog follows his master, and finally with devotion as a lover seeks his love.

Bellosguardo was bought by an Austrian, baroness Marion von Hornstein. In 1929, at the age of ninety, she died of burns after falling asleep by the fire at Unlawater House, Newnham on Severn and was buried next to her husband at Tardebigge, Worcestershire.
Lady Paget was also a vegetarian, and she explained her reasons as follows: I strongly condemn the practice, and do not eat fleshfood myself. Two or three years ago I had occasion to read up certain papers about the transport of cattle and slaughter-houses, and as I read the irresistible conviction came upon me that I must choose between giving up the eating of animal food and my peace of mind.
These considerations were not the only ones that moved medical
I do not think that anyone has a right to indulge in tastes which oblige others to follow a brutalizing and degrading occupation. When you call a man a butcher, it signifies that he is fond of bloodshed.
