But all my father ever said, to evince pride of ancestry, was in honor of William Caxton, citizen and printer in the reign of Edward IV., Clarum et venerabile nomen! an ancestor a man of letters might be justly vain of. "Heus," said my father, stopping short, and lifting his eyes from the Colloquies of Erasmus, "salve multum, jucundissime."
As he continued his journey toward the south pole he would undergo a second time this series of progressing and retrograding changes, until at length, as he laid his weary bones to rest in some icy cave in the drear antarctics, Multum ille et terris jactatus et alto, he would be in every respect, save in age and a ripe experience, the same as at the outset of his wanderings.
Now, who the dooce did Jenkins keep? ... In the hundred of Callton is one charcoal-burner irreligiosissimus homo a bit of a rip but a thorough sportsman. Ibi est ecclesia. Non multum.
A multum in parvo! A bird's-eye view, as one may say, and not entertaining, certainly. What other branches have you pursued? Drawing, for instance?" "Oh, no, Sir!" "Nor Music?" "No, Sir."

'Oh, just as you can, replied Sponge; 'get the groom here to set you down with his master's hacks.

May good health and good fortune speed him! The days went on; and our hopes, raised sometimes, began to flicker and fall.
The last two men have finished their voyage of life, but "Uncle Haze," as he is familiarly called by his many admirers, the originator of the tiny craft which may well be called multum in parvo, and which carried me, its single occupant, safely and comfortably twenty-six hundred miles, from Pittsburgh to Cedar Keys, still lives at West Creek, builds yachts as well as he does sneak-boxes, and puts to the blush younger gunners by the energy displayed and success attained in the vigorous pursuit of wildfowl shooting in the bays which fringe the coast of Ocean County, New Jersey.
