3. Samuel Butler (1835 - 1902) Samuel Butler (18351902) David Clifford, Ph.D Samuel Butler was the second child and first son of Thomas Butler (1806-86) and Fanny (neé Worsley, d.1873), born http://www.victorianweb.org/science/butler.html

Samuel Butler (1835-1902) David Clifford, Ph.D., Cambridge University. Butler went to Shrewsbury School, where his grandfather had been headmaster before he retired; then in 1854 he went up to St John's College, Cambridge (his father's alma mater), collecting a First in Classics in 1858. To the age of twenty-three his career was strikingly ordinary for a young man whose father had so carefully crafted his eldest son's passage to the priesthood. Thomas Butler, of course, is reputedly the model for the vicious bully Theobald Pontifex in Butler's masterwork The Way of All Flesh , and it would seem that Butler senior was not disinclined to put pressure, both physical and psychological, on his son as he matured. The two men were never close, although by the time Butler left Cambridge he was fairly sure in his own mind of his wish to take orders. As preparation for ordination, Butler spent 1858 and 1859 living in a poor parish in London, as he has Ernest Pontifex do in his novel. It was there, working in a poor school, that he discovered for the first time that there was no detectable difference in the morals or behaviour between boys who had been baptised, and those who had not a scenario he recreates in his earlier satire The Fair Haven . This event planted the first doubts about his faith in him, and he innocently began to correspond with his father on the matter, seeking answers to his doubts. His father was furious that his son should even entertain doubt about faith, or his 'chosen' career, but Samuel persisted, unconvinced, in the hope that his father could set his mind at peace. He failed. Butler, despite his financial dependence on his father, gave up his plans for ordination, and sought a new career.

Butler was born on December 4, 1835, at Langar Rectory near Bingham, Nottinghamshire, England. He was both the son and grandson of Anglican clergy. He received his education at Shrewsbury School and St. John's College, Cambridge, where he earned a degree in 1858. Sponsor Message. Although Samuel and his family had made plans for him to enter the ministry, he began to have doubts about his religion and ordination. After Cambridge, he worked briefly among the poor in London as a lay minister while trying to decide his future. In 1860, he emigrated to New Zealand and became a successful sheep rancher while publishing articles in the local press. Four years later, he returned to England, where he studied to become a painter and continued his writing. Much of Butler's work concerns his two primary interests, religion and evolution. He was particularly intrigued by the writings of Charles Darwin, an interest reflected in the extremely successful

His father was a cruel man who beat his son daily and was duly hated for this. Samuel Butler was to recreate the pain and despair of his childhood years in his final novel The Way of All Flesh In January, 1846, he went to school at Allesley, near Coventry and in 1848, at the age of twelve, he was sent to Shrewsbury School , then under the headship of Dr. Kennedy (Dr. Skinner in the novel). At Shrewsbury he was able to visit his aunt and uncle, the Bathers, at their Meole Brace home. Samuel did not enjoy the hard life at Shrewsbury School under the fearsome Dr. Kennedy but he did at least escape his father's merciless beatings. Again, he recalled his Shrewsbury schooldays in The Way of All Flesh , disguised as Roughborough, although his portrayal of the school is generally considered to be somewhat less than objective. He left in 1854 for Cambridge after which he travelled to New Zealand where he succeeded as a sheep breeder (described in his A First Year in Canterbury Settlement (1863). He returned to England and wrote one of his best known novels

IT IS ONLY OF LATE, HOWEVER, THAT I HAVE COME TO THIS OPINION." I have italicised the last sentence, to show that Butler was more or less conscious of its irreconcilability with much of his most characteristic doctrine. Again, in the closing chapter, Butler writes (p. 275):- "We should endeavour to see the so-called inorganic as living in respect of the qualities it has in common with the organic, rather than the organic as non-living in respect of the qualities it has in common with the inorganic."

As long as there will be an unknown there will be a God . . . If life is an illusion, then so is death - the greatest of all illusions. If life must not be taken too seriously - then neither must death. Independence is essential for permanent but fatal to immediate success. Life is not an exact science, it is an art. Life is the art of drawing sufficient conclusions from insufficient premises. No grand idea was ever born in a conference, but a lot of foolish ideas have died there. To himself everyone is an immortal; he may know that he is going to die, but he can never know that he is dead. To live is like to love - all reason is against it, and all healthy instinct for it.

The idea of a clerical career being, however, distasteful to him, he abandoned the University and emigrated to New Zealand where he took up sheep-breeding. He returned to England in 1864 having made enough money to enable him to live the life of a man of independent means and opinions. To the end of his days Butler was a solitary. He antagonised the religious by his unorthodox views — and advanced men by his attacks on Darwin's theories which he found too mechanical (Life and Habit, 1878, Evolution, Old and New, 1879, etc.). Besides scientific and scholarly pamphlets, most of them highly controversial, Butler wrote an account of his journey in Italy (Alps and Sanctuaries of Piedmont, 1881).
