Conrad, here is a letter which has come for you.

" Foiled in this purpose, Conrad becomes a reformer and receives a mortal wound in the attempt to protect an old Socialist against the police, who are trying to quell a mob of strikers (1890).

Conrad is, however, a higher creation than any which he had previously described.

I was about to explain that CONRAD was the writer, not the written; but it seemed a waste of words, and we fell into a stillness broken only by the sound of knife and fork.

Conrad was of course a prime means of Elizabeth's canonisation, and, as Dietrich and his own 'Letter to Pope Gregory the Ninth' show, collected, and pressed on the notice of the Archbishop of Maintz, the miraculous statements necessary for that honour.

But Conrad was a rare specimen of what may be effected by training and well-rooted prejudices.

Conrad, of course, is not a Russian novelist, but he is of Polish origin.
