Such a paper is called a bench warrant, and is granted whenever necessary, whether upon a presentment, indictment, or information.
His work satisfies at once the student and the lover of literature, standing almost unique in this regard. His flexible and charming style is a constant joy; his power of analysis and presentment a constant wonder; and throughout his work there is a freshness of feeling, an air of the open, at once delightful and stimulating.
As my Presentment, they are all subjective or ideal, and it is in this reference that Berkeley and Hume, for instance, speak of ideas of sense, such as the colour blue, the heat of the fire, the pain of a blow.

'T is the universal war the struggle for existence the survival of the most unscrupulous. 'T is a miniature presentment of what's going on everywhere in earth and sky." She shook her head again. "YOU see the earth and sky through black spectacles, I 'm afraid," she remarked, with a long face. But there was still an underglow of amusement in her eyes.
But even if we pass over what some readers will be inclined to dismiss as a mere theoretical objection, there are other charges which these same passages will have to meet. Those who have borne with me in my remarks on the Aminta and the Faithful Shepherdess, will probably also agree with me here, when I say that to me at least there is something not altogether pleasing in Milton's presentment of virtue.

The King wondered at his wit and shrewdness and ordered him yet other four thousand dirhems.
Adieu, my pet. If we never meet, don't forget your happy, happy Rose. Danton Hall, May 21, 18 . My Dear Frank: Do you recollect your last words to me as you left St. Croix: "Write to me, Grace.
