But behold, before him was a river with precipitous banks, a narrow, but deep river.... And he could not swim!

In giving freedom to the slave, we assure freedom to the free honorable alike in what we give and what we preserve. We shall nobly save or meanly lose the last, best hope of earth. Other means may succeed; this could not fail. The way is plain, peaceful, generous, just a way which, if followed, the world will forever applaud, and God must forever bless. Washington, Dec. 1, 1862.

Cambridge, too young and obscure in earlier ages to have rivalled Oxford, first began to enjoy an increasing reputation. This was before Dec. 26, 1373. See Twemlow in Engl. Hist. Review, xv, , 529-530. Hitherto culture had been not only cosmopolitan but clerical. Every university student and nearly every professional man was a clerk.

They won't let me keep it up long, Lucy, but Lord, Lord, hasn't the going been good, my dear, while it lasted! I've twisted Tammany's tail till its head's dropped off!

Dec. 23,1646, "Resolved that this House doth declare that they will prosecute and carry on an offensive war in Ireland for the regaining of that kingdom to the obedience of the kingdom of England;" Jan. 4, 1646-7, "Resolved that an Ordinance be forthwith prepared and brought in for establishing and settling the same Form of Church- government in the kingdom of Ireland as is or shall be established in the kingdom of England;" such were two momentous votes of the Commons when the King was about to leave Newcastle.

I saw it first on the night of Dec. 12, 1694: soon I shall see it for the last time. I have sinned and suffered, and have more to suffer yet. Dec. 29, 1701. The 'Gallia Christiana' gives the date of the Canon's death as December 31, 1701, 'in bed, of a sudden seizure'. Details of this kind are not common in the great work of the Sammarthani.

But before that time Johnson's Lives of the Poets had appeared, in which his style was considerably easier than when he wrote The Rambler. It would, therefore, have been uncandid in Blair, even supposing his criticism to have been just, to have preserved it. He would be an acute critic who could distinguish this Imitation from a number of The Rambler. See post, under Dec. 6, 1784.

J. R. Hope-Scott, Esq., Q.C. to the Very Rev. Dr. Newman. Abbotsford: Dec. 30, 1857. Dear Father Newman, ... And now a word about yourself. I do not like your croaking.
