    THE TWO BREATHS. SADIES,—I have been honoured by a second invitation to address you here,* ffrom the lady to whose public spirit the establishment of these lectures is due. I dare not refuse it: because it gives me an opportunity of speaking on a matter, knowledge and ignorance about which may seriously affect your health and happiness, and that of the children with whom you may have to do. I must apologize if I say many things which are well known to many persons in the room : they ought to be well known to all; and it is gener- ally best to assume total ignorance in one’s hearers, and to begin from the beginning. * This address was delivered at Winchester, by the Rev. Charles Kingsley, and reprinted, by permission, from “Good Words.”
