THE RESEARCH MAGNIFICENT

THE PRELUDE
ON FEAR AND ARISTOCRACY

1
The story of William Porphyry Benham is the story of a man who was
led into adventure by an idea. It was an idea that took possession
of his imagination quite early in life, it grew with him and changed
with him, it interwove at last completely with his being. His story
is its story. It was traceably germinating in the schoolboy; it was
manifestly present in his mind at the very last moment of his
adventurous life. He belonged to that fortunate minority who are
independent of daily necessities, so that he was free to go about
the world under its direction.
