With a combination of blue and green for instance, a yellow shade would appear in the green and a red in the blue. Such a result fails to satisfy the demand, already touched on, for purity and homogeneity of color, that is, for unimpeded seeing of color. <1> Chevreul, De la Loi du Contraste Simultane des Couleurs. E.S. Banker, op. Cit.
The conclusion arrived at by M. Warlomont is the only one which science can tolerate. Should Louise Lateau or Palma d'Oria ever be subjected to as close watching as was the poor little Welsh Fasting Girl, Sarah Jacob, it will certainly terminate as badly for them as for her, unless they yield to the demands of nature and take the food which the organism requires. Op. cit., t. ii.
There was thus no mystery, at the time, about Mattioli; his crime and punishment were perfectly well known to students of politics. He has been regarded as the mysterious Man in the Iron Mask, but, for years after his arrest, he was the least mysterious of State prisoners. Brentano, op. cit., p. 117. Here, then, is Mattioli in Pignerol in May, 1679.
In this passage "quick" is used in the old sense of "living," as in the phrase "the quick and the dead." J.G. Dalyell, op. cit. p. 186. Bestiall=animals; seik=sick; calling=driving; guidis=cattle. As to the custom of cutting off the leg of a diseased animal and hanging it up in the house, see above, p. 296, note 1. County Folk-lore, vol. v. Lincolnshire, collected by Mrs. Part i. Jan. 1902.
There is a little tone of the former meeting lurking here still. First Cit. Once, if he do require our voices, we ought not to deny him. Second Cit. We may, Sir, if we will. Third Cit. We have power in ourselves to do it, but it is a power that we have no power to do. Ingratitude is monstrous: and for the multitude to be ungrateful, were to make a monster of the multitude,
Those forests supply us with wood: Ostia supplies us with everything else that cannot be got in yonder village. You see how I live and enjoy myself, and you must be a very ingrained cit indeed if you do not instantly decide to settle down amongst us. There is a little farm not far off: let me negotiate it for you."
From the year after her marriage her health began to droop, and she became gradually weaker, until in 1510 she died of this lingering illness, and was buried in the Franciscan church of Innsbrück, where the bronze effigy of Maximilian's Lombard bride, robed in the rich brocades which she loved so well, still adorns his sumptuous mausoleum. Luzio-Renier, op. cit., p. 383.
And above all, we must feel and act as if an endless continuation of our earthly life awaited us after death; and if it be that nothingness is the fate that awaits us we must not, in the words of Obermann, so act that it shall be a just fate. And this leads us directly to the examination of the practical or ethical aspect of our sole problem. Op. cit.

I have always thought that the ostentation of riches, or of those things which they will procure, was not a subject of vanity so common in France as in England; but there is a medium in all things, and it would be as well if the Marseillois and their countrymen of Lyons, had a little of that social and respectable pride, which induces every cit of Hampstead or Clapham to set off his little box to the best advantage.
