Everything wore a sombre, heavy air even the men seemed born to methodize on some one object. Show-shops, beer-shops, and gin-palaces, made the very air reek with their stifling fumes.
In the present state of affairs, the council of the Protection Society afforded the earliest and readiest means to collect opinion and methodize action; and it was therefore resolved among its managers to invite all members of Parliament who sympathized with their purpose, though they might not be members of their society, to attend their meeting and aid them at the present crisis with their counsel.
I had a hard task in hand to begin the first part hereof, and much labour I underwent to methodize it as it is.

The college and the university likewise differ in their methods of work. The college seeks the highest results in discipline. Its method is more formal and didactic.
