Rosicrucians are divided into those of three periods, the old, who are connected by the two chief writings, “FamaandConfessio,” that appeared at the beginning of the 17th century; the middle, which apparently represents a degeneration of the original idealistic league, and finally, the gold crossers and rose crossers, who for a time during the 18th century developed greater power.

che seggendo in piuma, In Fama non si vien, sotto coltre; Sanza la qual chi sua vita consuma Cotal vestigio in terra di se lascia Qual fummo in aere, ed in acqua la schiuma But men of genius, in their intercourse with persons of fashion, have a secret inducement to court that circle.

And thus I have given the history of satire, and derived it as far as from Ennius to your lordship that is, from its first rudiments of barbarity to its last polishing and perfection; which is, with Virgil, in his address to Augustus "Nomen fama tot ferre per annos, . . . Tithoni prima quot abest ab origine Caesar."

Fanny Stevenson was a lineal descendant of two of the oldest families in the United States, her first ancestors landing in this country in the early part of the seventeenth century. In 1642 Jöran Kyn, called "The Snow White," reached America in the ship Fama as a member of the life-guard of John Printz, governor of the Swedish colony established in the New World by King Gustavus Adolphus.

From "Fama;" from rumours, hearsays, exaggerations, scandals, superstitions, public opinions whether from the ancient public opinion that the sun went round the earth, or the equally public opinion, that those who dared to differ from public opinion were hateful to the deity, and therefore worthy of death from all these blasts of Fame's lying trumpet they helped to deliver men; and they therefore helped to insure something like peace and personal security for those quiet, modest, and generally virtuous men, who, as students of physical science, devoted their lives, during the eighteenth century, to asking of nature What are the facts of the case?

But vice once known to be established in society, becomes daily more prolific of its kind, and, like the Fama of Virgil, vires acquirit eundo. It is but fair to give these islanders the full benefit of this principle, when we sit in assize on them.

'Gratia and Fama' will inevitably accompany the above-mentioned qualifications. The 'Valetudo' is the only one that is not in your own power; Heaven alone can grant it you, and may it do so abundantly! As for the 'mundus victus, non deficiente crumena', do you deserve, and I will provide them. It is with the greatest pleasure that I consider the fair prospect which you have before you.

From this difference of opinion it happened that, in many cases of nicety, such as in owning certain defections, and failing to testify against certain backslidings of the time, in not always severely tracing forth little matters of scandal and fama clamosa, which David called a loosening of the reins of discipline, and in failing to demand clear testimonies in other points of controversy which had, as it were, drifted to leeward with the change of times, Butler incurred the censure of his father-in-law; and sometimes the disputes betwixt them became eager and almost unfriendly.

"Look out, Skipjack, there's a moth." "Anything worth having?" demanded Bobus. "Only a grass eggar. Fama, fame; volat, flies; Idomoeea ducem, that Idomaeeus the leader; pulsum, expelled. "Never mind catching him," said Bobus, "we've got dozens." "Yes, but I don't want him frizzling alive in my candle."
