Edward Dayes, artist, critic, and biographer of artists, is said to have exclaimed eccentrically in reference to Sir Francis: 'Dietricy begat Casanova, Casanova begat De Loutherbourg, De Loutherbourg begat Franky Bourgeois, a dirty dog, who quarrelled with nature, and bedaubed her works!

Volition had not departed, but was powerless. The senses were unusually active, although eccentrically so assuming often each other's functions at random. The taste and the smell were inextricably confounded, and became one sentiment, abnormal and intense.

Fathers she sees accepting the facts produced for them by their children; a world content to be carved out as it pleases the hero. At last Time brings the bridal eve, and is blest as a benefactor. The final arrangements are made; the bridegroom does depart; and Mrs. Berry lights the little bride to her bed. Lucy stops on the landing where there is an old clock eccentrically correct that night.

Them he branded, as hypocritical materialists, and the country for pride in her sweetmeat plethora of them: mixed with an ancient Hebrew fear of offence to an inscrutable Lord, eccentrically appeasable through the dreary iteration of the litany of sinfulness. He was near a truth; and he had the heat of it on him.

I seem to see to-day that the London of the 'fifties was even to the weak perception of childhood a much less generalised, a much more eccentrically and variously characterised place, than the present great accommodated and accommodating city; it had fewer resources but it had many more features, scarce one of which failed to help the whole to bristle with what a little gaping American could take for an intensity of difference from his supposed order.

It is eccentrically situate; the productions, even for a low island, poor; the population neither many nor for Low Islanders industrious. But the lagoon has two good passages, one to leeward, one to windward, so that in all states of the wind it can be left and entered, and this advantage, for a government of scattered islands, was decisive.

This improved process of casting may also be employed for objects which do not possess an exactly annular section. The moulds are then arranged eccentrically in a frame which is made to revolve rapidly during the cooling of the metal In this way the pieces are less strongly compressed at the places where they are nearest the center of rotation than a the points where the radius is greater.

At the same instant Tom, with a thrusting motion, released his model; but, alas! instead of darting forward like the Sparrow Hawk it was named after, the craft ingloriously wobbled about eccentrically, and finally alighted on an old lady's bonnet, causing her to exclaim as the propeller whizzed round and entangled itself in her hair: "No good'll ever come of teaching lads to meddle with these here contraptions."

"We did ask for a statement from him," said Pym a little nervously; "but it was so eccentrically expressed that we suppressed it out of deference to an old gentleman whose past services to science have been great." Moon leaned forward. "You mean, I suppose," he said, "that his statement was favourable to the prisoner."

J. P. Shepperd who still holds the post and receives from it about 400 pounds a year. Mr. Shepperd is a man of middle age, and looks after his sheep fairly, but at times eccentrically.
