It deserves a place beside those two famous speeches of James Otis and Patrick Henry which ushered in the war of separation from England. It possesses even a certain advantage, in the fact that it never has been nor is likely to be made use of for school declamations. It will always remain fresh, vigorous, and original as when it was first delivered.

"Kindly cover them with water, while I get the bottle down." As accidents sometimes happen in the most perfectly regulated families, so clumsiness sometimes possesses itself of the most perfectly disciplined hands. In the process of its transfer from the shelf to the doctor, the bottle slipped and fell smashed to pieces on the floor.

Yes, Virginia, you have a great opportunity before you, if only you choose to take advantage of it."

So long as man dreams of some age in this life When the right and the good will all evil subdue; For the right and the good lead us ever to strife, And wherever they lead us the fiend will pursue. So long as man fancies that fortune will live, Like a bride with her lover, united with worth; For her favors, alas! to the mean she will give And virtue possesses no title to earth!

When a water-clerk who possesses Ability in the abstract has also the advantage of having been brought up to the sea, he is worth to his employer a lot of money and some humouring.

Pyrrhus victorious. Grand celebration. Result of the battle. He attacks the Mamertines. Is victorious. Pyrrhus forms new schemes. Want of seamen. The Sicilians are opposed to his plans. General rebellion in Sicily. Pyrrhus's character. He possesses no perseverance. New plan. Disastrous attempt to get back to Italy. Terrible conflict. Pyrrhus is wounded in the head. Shocking spectacle.

It is necessary, however, to give the sub-conscious every available information, for it possesses no inspiration or super-human wisdom, but works out logically, according to the facts supplied to it. This great, natural, untiring "mind downstairs," as it has been called, is also capable of doing even more useful work still.

Asquith, who possesses the rare gift of summoning the one inevitable word, and of compressing his speeches into a small space of time, speaks with equal success whether from a prepared manuscript or wholly extempore.

This alone would give Corot a lower rank, in the absence of a marked superiority in some special high quality superiority which does not exist, for the picked work of Rousseau possesses technical excellences all its own, as consummate as anything in the world's landscape art, while the range of treatment and subject, so much greater in Rousseau than in Corot, puts the limited and mannered art of the latter as a whole in a distinct inferiority.
