On another petition of the United Brethren presented 20th of February, 1749. He spoke on other occasions, to have indicated which would have required more research than I could spare.
Dean Stanley's unrivalled powers of literary exposition were consistently employed in the same endeavour. To call Abraham a Sheikh was only an ingenious attempt at naturalizing Genesis. But in Literature and Dogma Arnold applies this method far more fundamentally. According to him, even "God" is a literary term to which a scientific sense has been arbitrarily applied.
The death of the prince of Wales was fatal to a bill which had been brought into the house of commons, for naturalizing all foreign protestants who should settle within the dominions of Great Britain.
I did it, too: how, I dont know; but I did it. John Metcalf told me yesterday that Sir James Hooker, the president of the Society for Naturalizing the Bread Fruit Tree in Britain, and the greatest living authority on the subject, has got the credit of having written my article." "How flattered he must feel!" said Elinor. "What article had you to write for papa?" said Marian.

They cannot be naturalized without naturalizing their conditions. The gray ancestral houses of England are the beautiful symbols of the permanence of family and of caste. They are the embodiments of traditional institutions and culture. When we speak of the House of Stanley or of Howard, the expression is not wholly figurative.
But this session was chiefly distinguished by an act for naturalizing Jews, and a bill for the better preventing clandestine marriages.
This ominous rustling did not encourage sleep; he lay there for a long time listening, and every minute is longer in the darkness, while his hammock quivered and trembled with the reaction. Guided by this, I might enter into a new field of naturalizing and say to those who might, in excitement, be tempted to do otherwise, "Look at your traps before lifting them."
