Like the other sciences which deal with life, history needs descriptive formulæ in order to express the nature of the different phenomena. In order to be manageable, a formula must be short; in order to give an exact idea of the facts, it must be precise.
But, as on this subject my lips were comparatively sealed, the state of the troops with whom they were so soon to be brought into contact became the more manageable topic. On mentioning that Dumourier was placed in command, I received free and full communications on the subject of his qualities for being the last hope of revolutionary France.
Large, broad leaves, with unbroken surfaces, and triangular or rounded outlines, are less manageable. Those most commonly taken as models are: The Vine, with its Grapes. This was freely used by medieval carvers, at first for its symbolic significance, but afterward even more on account of its rare beauty of form.
I know many persons, worth several thousands in the year, who are not so fortunate in the disposal of their lives. Into how many houses would not the note of the monastery bell, dividing the day into manageable portions, bring peace of mind and healthful activity of body!
Its multitudinous rules and systems of discipline appall the spirit and weary the flesh even to enumerate them; so that, from one point of view, the making of new sects is a necessity.

X, made into two pills, one given morning and evening, or more frequently according to the age or size of the animal. I do not know any animal so subject to 'rheumatism' as the dog, nor any one in which, if it is early and properly treated, it is so manageable. No particular species of dogs are more subject to its attacks than others, all being alike victims to its ravages. Mr.
In the emergency we cleaned out a room in the store, formerly occupied by a county officer, and I organized a very primary school. I was almost fifteen, but the children were good and manageable. I did not have very many, and fortunately I was not called upon to teach very long. There came to town a clever man, Robert Desty. He wanted to teach.
The Greek Unities, for instance, were not proper objects of the meticulous and trivial imitation of Seneca or Gabriel Harvey. But still less were they the right objects for the equally trivial and far more vulgar impatience of men like Macaulay.
