[48] M. Beer, "Geschichte des Socialismus in England" (Stuttgart, 1913),
p. 462. Mr. Beer devotes seven pages to the Society, which he describes
with accuracy, and interprets much as Mr. Barker has done. The book was
written at the request of the German Social Democratic Party.
[49] I quote, but do not endorse the opinion that G.B.S. markedly
resembles James Mill (Mr. Barker confuses the two Mills). Beer adds
"Webb was the thinker, Shaw the fighter." This antithesis is scarcely
happy. The collaboration of the two is much too complicated to be summed
up in a phrase.
[50] But see chapter VIII for its influence before 1906; and see
Appendix 1. A. for a much fuller discussion of this subject.
[51] The same idea is expressed by a Canadian Professor:--
"It is necessary to go back to the Philosophical Radicals to find a
small group of men who have exercised such a profound influence over
English political thought as the little band of social investigators who
organised the Fabian Society."
