1920. Not self nor self-salvation was his care;
He yearned to make the earth a sunnier clime
To live in; and his mission, everywhere,
Was strangely like the Christ’s in olden time.
Sir Richard Burton Thou shalt come to thy grave in a full age, like as a shock of corn cometh in his season.
PREFATORY NOTE THIS NARRATIVE aspires to no biographical excellence, nor makes any pretension to having attained the status of an exhaustive Life. It is simply part of the public record of the public life of a great public servant who, for more than sixty years, lived his life in the immediate public eye. With hitherto unpublished letters and documents of like nature, it has nothing to do. Those desiring access to data of that description will, of necessity, have to turn elsewhere. Moreover, save for its embodiment of certain glimpses of Dr. Meyer’s private life which he himself chose to reveal in his own pages, it leaves the province of his personal intimacies uninvaded.
During some four or five weeks following the date of Dr. Meyer’s death, all the hours conservable from the claim of current duties were devoted to the task of collecting this material from the columns of newspapers, magazines, and other publications, contemporary with the events recorded, Dr. Meyer’s own books, and my own personal files. The facts thus assembled were amplified by the inclusion of many personal recollections and impressions, which cover a period of more than thirty years.
