lived in a house near the Church of St. Mary-le-Tower. Sir Edward Coke resided in a village not far off, and in 1597 the M.P. for Ipswich was no other than the great Lord Bacon, who by birth and breeding was emphatically a Suffolk man. From Windham’s diary, it appears that at Ipswich that distinguished statesman experienced a new sensation. In 1789 he writes: ‘Left Ipswich not till near twelve.
For so long selective breeding will not be proved to be competent to all that is required if it produce natural species." In immediate connection with the above passage, there is another which throws a clear light on Professor Huxley's cosmical views.
Armenia supplied the Phoenicians with "horses of common and of noble breeds," and also with mules. Strabo says that it was a country exceedingly well adapted for the breeding of the horse, and even notes the two qualities of the animal that it produced, one of which he calls "Nisaean," though the true "Nisaean plain" was in Media.
In the politics of the distant future that science of eugenics, which aims at rapidly improving our type by consciously directed selective breeding, may become a dominant factor, but it has had little influence on the politics of the present or the past.
As the cups circulated, choirs entered, chanting sedately the last erotic song; a clown danced on the top of a ladder, which he maintained upright as he danced, telling meanwhile untellable stories to the frieze; and host and guests, unvociferously, as good breeding dictates, chatted through the pauses of the service; discussed the disadvantages of death, the value of Noevian iambics, the disgrace of Ovid, banished because of Livia's eyes.
Dodo and the Collises, travelling out of their own country for the first time, had not as they acknowledged to each other now "known the difference in foreigners." It was only by the light in other women's eyes women of good birth and breeding that they began to see Lady Dauntrey as she was, common, bold, not a lady, one whom ladies would not care to receive.
R.S. FINLEY, Esq., late General Agent of the American Colonization Society, at a meeting in New York, 27th Feb. 1833, said: "In Virginia and other grain-growing slave states, the blacks do not support themselves, and the only profit their masters derive from them is, repulsive as the idea may justly seem, in breeding them, like other live stock for the more southern states." Rev. Dr.
When he leaves any house in which he has lodged for a few weeks, he causes his arms to be painted and hung up as a perpetual sign to the house, as was the custom of gentlemen. The complement of this graceful self-respect, and that of all the points of good breeding I most require and insist upon, is deference. I like that every chair should be a throne, and hold a king.
I have seen them carry the prize to the exclusion of the really useful breeding animal, and when the show was over they were sold to the butcher.
"And she is a good little actress I believe," said Mr. Hammond. "I knew that Grimes had a girl that he wanted to push forward as the lead in this company he has up here. I never like to interfere with my directors if I can help it. But I will see that Miss Gray gets a square deal. She has had good training in the legitimate drama, she is pretty, and she has pluck and good breeding." "That Mr.
