I suspect they hadn't read it, as they certainly wouldn't have allowed it in the house; any more indeed than they had read or were likely ever to read any other work of fiction; I doubt whether the house contained a printed volume, unless its head had had in hand a law-book or so: I to some extent recover Mr.
Think of that, ye Gothamites, who complain if you are detained any where on the face of the earth three minutes only detained three hours every eight or ten miles! But for delay occasioned by any insuperable impediment, says the Norwegian law-book such as a storm at sea, or too great a distance between the inns no liability is incurred on either side.
We don't want you here at all, Hornblower; you've turned pedler, and upset all our trade there now! Here the Squire worked himself up into a perfect fever of excitement, pressing his law-book firmly on the table while addressing his legal observations to his auditory.
Poetry everywhere, even in a law-book; poetry inseparable from their thoughts, their speech, their every-day actions; poetry became for them a reality, an indispensable necessity of life. This feature is also certainly characteristic of the Celtic nature. Hence their literature was inseparable from art; and music and design gushed naturally from the deepest springs of their souls.
Consequently when such a time arrived, the Platform, at least in its letter, could be dropped from the law-book. The old colonial laws for the support of religion would still suffice to protect and exalt the Establishment, and to preserve it as the spiritual arm of the State.
This has nothing to do with good manners or ill manners; but, in the words of the old law-book before cited, "is when a theefe hath stollen and is followed with hue and crie and taken, having that found about him which he stole; that is called ye maynour.

Instead of a law-book, he flung down a time table in which he had been investigating the trains to a quail shooting club in the southern part of the state: The transition to Mr. Hodder was, therefore, somewhat abrupt. "Why, Nell, to look at you, I thought it could be nothing else than my somewhat belated appointment to the United States Supreme Court. How has Hodder changed?
Fitzjames has been writing in the 'Saturday Review, in 'Fraser, the 'National Review, and elsewhere, besides having on hand a projected law-book. Is he not undertaking too much?
Camperdown to himself, telling off on his fingers half-a-dozen instances in which he had either known or had heard that the head of a family had so arranged the future possession of the family jewels. Then he again read Mr. Dove's opinion, and actually took a law-book off his shelves with the view of testing the correctness of the barrister in reference to some special assertion.
The nature of the reforms instituted by Josiah, according to II Kings xxii., clearly prove that the laws which inspired them were those of Deuteronomy, and that this was the law-book discovered in the temple by Hilkiah the priest and publicly read and promulgated by the king in 621 B.C. Originally it was probably prepared by the prophetic reformers as a basis for their work; but it incorporates not only most of the primitive codes, but also many other ancient laws and groups of laws, some doubtless coming from the earliest periods of Israel's history.
