Excerpt from The Life Pilgrimage of Moncure Daniel Conway: Delivered at South Place Institute on March 27, 1914 I must attribute the honour of occupying this chair to-night to the fact that I was one of the dwindling company of those who had the privilege of Moncure Conway's friendship for many years. He came to London in 1863, but some time passed - I have no record of the date - before I met him. One reason was that in abandoning the current creeds, while adhering to theism, I had, as the old phrase goes, "sat under" Dr. Martineau, and had never attended at South Place. I was in good company, memory recalls that among his constant hearers were Sir Charles and Lady Lyell, Miss Buckley (then acting as Sir Charles's secretary), Dr. Carpenter, and Miss Frances Power Cobbe.
