Description
Samuel Butler, unorthodox apologist for the Church, classical scholar, and Canterbury sheep station runholder at 'Mesopotamia' in the upper Rangitata River valley from June 1860 until July 1864, is perhaps best known for his satirical novels, 'Erewhon, or Over the range', published in 1872, and, 'The way of all flesh', published posthumously in 1903. He also published works such as 'The Fair Haven', first published in March 1873, which disputed Darwin's theory of evolution and expounded his own idealist view of religion.

Description
Samuel Butler was born at Langar, Nottinghamshire. His father was Thomas Butler, Rector of Langar. He prepared to be ordained in London but then in 1859 refused ordination and emigrated to New Zealand, settling in the upper Rangitata.
He returned to England in 1864, settling in Clifford's Inn. His letters home from New Zealand were published by his father in 1863 as "A First Year in Canterbury Settlement". In 1867 he studied art at Heatherleys School of Art.
Butler wrote "Erewhon" in 1870 and "The Way of All Flesh" in 1872. Between the years 1869-1876 he was also exhibiting paintings at the Royal Academy. His writing covered art, music, philosophy, Shakespeare's sonnets, Darwinism and much more.
These papers consist of an undated manuscript, a list "Things for the Dray to Bring Up" and a 1950 programme, "Samuel Butler and the Authoress of the Odyssey".

    Butler, Samuel, 1835-1902 1835-1902, English author. He was the son and grandson of eminent clergymen. In 1859, refusing to be ordained, he went to New Zealand, where he established a sheep farm and in a few years made a modest fortune. He returned to England in 1864 and devoted himself to a variety of interests, including art, music, biology, and literature. Besides exhibiting some of his paintings (1868-76) at the Royal Academy, he composed several works in collaboration with Henry Festings Jones, among them the Handelian Narcissus: A Dramatic Cantata (1888). His Erewhon, in which he satirized English social and economic injustices by describing a country in which manners and laws were the reverse of those in England, appeared in 1872. It brought Butler immediate literary fame. Erewhon Revisited was published in 1901. Butler opposed Darwin's explanation of evolution, finding it too mechanistic, and he expounded his own theories in Evolution Old and New Unconscious Memory (1880), and

    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, Samuel (1835-1902)
    All progress is based upon a universal innate desire on the part of every organism to live beyond its income. 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.

    Samuel Butler
    Profile
    Novelist and satirist; born in Nottinghamshire, the son of a vicar. 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

    All progress is based upon a universal innate desire of every organism to live beyond its means. Every man's work, whether it be literature or music or pictures or architecture or anything else, is always a portrait of himself. When a man is in doubt about this or that in his writing, it will often guide him if he asks himself how it will tell a hundred years hence. The public buys its opinions as it buys its meat, or takes in its milk, on the principle that it is cheaper to do this than to keep a cow. So it is, but the milk is more likely to be watered.

    Samuel Butler Quotes
    Life is like playing a violin solo in public and learning the instrument as one goes on. All progress is based upon a universal innate desire on the part of every organism to live beyond its income. Friendship is like money, easier made than kept. The man who lets himself be bored is even more contemptible than the bore. Any fool can tell the truth, but it requires a man of some sense to know how to lie well. The three most important things a man has are briefly, his private parts, his money, and his religious opinions. He has spent his life best who has enjoyed it most. God will take care that we do not enjoy it any more than is good for us. A definition is the enclosing a wilderness of idea within a wall of words. To do great work a man must be very idle as well as very industrious. Half the vices which the world condemns most loudly have seeds of good in them and require moderate use rather than total abstinence. Man is the only animal that can remain on friendly terms with the victims he intends to eat until he eats them. A friend who cannot at a pinch remember a thing or two that never happened is as bad as one who does not know how to forget.
