* The army at this time consisted nominally of 660,000 men, of whom only 20,000 were regulars. Nothing can be much uglier than the State House at Harrisburg, but it commands a magnificent view of one of the valleys into which the Alleghany Mountains is broken.
Alexander, who had admired, his courage, was not unfavourably disposed towards him, but Archbishop Ernest vehemently, demanded his immediate death, as a personal favour to himself. As the churchman was nominally sovereign of the city although in reality a beggarly dependant on Philip's alms, Farnese felt bound to comply.
The two persons most active in "getting up" this testimonial were, nominally, Colonel Poyntz in truth, his wife and my old disparager, Mr. Vigors! It is long since my narrative has referred to Mr. Vigors.
Tom Bertram had of late spent so little of his time at home that he could be only nominally missed; and Lady Bertram was soon astonished to find how very well they did even without his father, how well Edmund could supply his place in carving, talking to the steward, writing to the attorney, settling with the servants, and equally saving her from all possible fatigue or exertion in every particular but that of directing her letters.
To induce him to return, the master sold him nominally to his neighbor, to whom the slave gave himself up, and by whom he was returned to his master: Punishment, stripes.

Although nominally that great trading company parted with its autocratic power and exclusive franchise in 1870, it is still the sovereign of the north.

The consequence of these military rebellions was to render the Spanish crown almost powerless during the whole year, within the provinces nominally subject to its sway. The cause as always was the non-payment of these veterans' wages, year after year.
It is a strange and ignominious feature of modern life. Forgive me, Mr. Theydon, if I speak strongly on this matter. The men who spread the bounds of science today are, nominally, at any rate, Christians. It was not the younger man now who talked brilliantly and forcibly.
A remarkable man was Michael Petrovitch, Prince Gregoriev; nominally a chief of the Third Section under Ryeléff; actually head of the secret police of the whole Moscow district; confidential adviser of the royal Governor-General; and privately and intimately known to the Czar, who had long been aware that he had at least one man in his Empire who would balk at no order that should be given him.
Makely's by the rules of English precedence, because there are nominally no ranks here, and we could not; but I am sure it will not be long before the Americans will begin playing at precedence just as they now play at the other forms of aristocratic society.
