No one would contend, I suppose, that Strauss is original, or that he is over-severe in his method; but the question is whether we can regard him as "master of his subject," and grant him "incomparable skill"? The confession to the effect that the treatise was intentionally "lightly equipped" leads us to think that it at least aimed at incomparable skill.

However, it is not our intention to enter into a controversy which is in Mr. Palmer's hands; nor need we do more than refer the reader to the various melancholy evidences, which that learned, though over-severe writer, and Dr. Pusey, and Mr.

She was conscious that she had been over-severe, and that the Judge, who believed in justice first, last, and all the time, would not uphold her. And so the plans for the party went on. "We will have games," said Judy, "and we won't have anything old like 'Cinderella. Has anybody got an idea?"

"They thought they read him with understanding, those people of the nineteenth century," the future centuries will say; "and then they thought there was no understanding in him, and after that they did not know what they thought." But this is over-severe. It applies only to that class which serves a function somewhat similar to that served by the populace of old time in Rome.
