Abstract
My father was a general practitioner, with two deep extrinsic interests. He was an amateur astronomer and a philosopher. He contributed two papers to the Aristotelian Society in its very early days. I do not recollect him talking much in the home on philosophical matters, but his large and variegated library contained many philosophical and semi-philosophical works—and I was an omnivorous reader.
