Hoole has drawn up a narrative of what passed in the visits which he paid him during that time, from the 10th of November to the 13th of December, the day of his death, inclusive, and has favoured me with a perusal of it, with permission to make extracts, which I have done. Nobody was more attentive to him than Mr. Langton, to whom he tenderly said, Te teneam moriens deficiente manu.
Hence a measure such, as that found in 'Washington Irving' terminates every line in Evangeline, or the works of Virgil, thus: 'Saying a sad farewell, Evangeline went from the mission, When, over green ways, by long and perilous marches, She had attained at length the depth of the Michigan forest. or 'Supplicia hausorem ecopulis: et nomine Dido, Et recidiva manu posuissem Pergama vetis.
Trees might be pruned for the trimmings, with the exception of the olive and other fruit-trees, and provided there was sufficient shade in the place." Lectures on the History of the Jewish Church, part i., p. 271. Alfred Maury mentions several provisions taken from the laws of the Indian legislator Manu, on the same subject. Les Forets de la Gaule, p. 9. See an article by Mr.
'Nocturna versate manu, versate diurna'; which may be rendered thus in English: Turn Over MEN BY DAY, AND WOMEN BY NIGHT. I mean only the best editions.
This authority tells us that when Brahma had lain in the original egg some thousand billion years, he split it by the force of his thought, and made heaven and earth from the two fragments.

Fain would the Theosophists propound, as we have already noted in the chapter, "New Social Ideas," that caste should be determined by character and occupation, not by birth. That being impossible, they would fain see the myriad of castes reduced to the original four named in Manu.
In cuius rei testimonium, his praesentibus manu nostra signatis, magnum sigillum nostrum regni nostri Angleiae apponi fecimus. Datae e Regia nostra Grenwici quinto die mensis Iunij, Anno Dom. 1583. Regni vero nostri vicessimo quinto. The same in English.
Manu himself has said that it is with the aid of the intelligence that an ambitious person succeeds in achieving victories. In this world, O Yudhishthira, they who listen to wise counsels that are not generally known, that are, O sinless one, possessed of allies, and that act after proper scrutiny, succeed in achieving all their objects.
Vasishtha, the son of that Manu who sprung from the eyes of Brahma, came to that sacrifice and addressing me, said, 'O foremost of regenerate persons, the Rathantara is not being recited properly by thee. O best of Brahmanas, cease to earn demerit by reading so faultily, and with the aid of thy understanding do thou read the Samans correctly.
The stupendous music that issued from them has swept their barbaric demonology along with it, setting at naught the collective intelligence of the human species; they embalmed their idiotic taboos and fetishes in undying strains, and so gave them some measure of the same immortality. A race of lawgivers? Bosh! Leviticus is as archaic as the Code of Manu, and the Decalogue is a fossil.
