The Belgae had been crossing the narrow sea and settling here, presumably driving away the inhabitants whom they found. They so specially occupied the parts where now Hampshire is, that the capital city, Went, was named from them by the Latins Venta Belgarum, Belgian Venta; to return in later times to its old name of Caer Went, this is, Went Castle, Winchester.

I'm not very good, but we raised an eleven this year in the glen which beat Gledsmuir." The notion pleased the gentleman. If a second match could be arranged he might play and show his prowess. In all likelihood this solemn and bookish laird, presumably brought up at home, would be a poor enough player. "I played a lot at school," he said.

It was urged even by contemporaries in vindication of Sulla that a king is better than a bad constitution, and presumably the title of dictator was only chosen to indicate that, as the former dictatorship implied a reassumptionwith various limitations, so this new dictatorship involved a complete reassumption, of the regal power.

How this opportunity is going to "offer" is not made clear; but presumably a reflow of notes from circulation can only happen through a fall in prices or a reduction in bank deposits by the liquidation of advances made to the Government, directly or indirectly, by the banks.

On this point he appeals to Augustine, and with perfect right; from this it may presumably be assumed that the Schoolmen in general had the same view, Augustine being, as we know, an authority for Catholic theologians. In mediaeval poets also we occasionally find the same view expressed.

I was pleased to find that Marie's English was excellent, without a trace of foreign accent. But this, and the matronly appearance, I learned subsequently were presumably due to the age, shape and nativity of the Medium through whom she materialized.

Within nine months Benedict died, presumably from poison, and Philip, by his intrigues, was enabled to secure the election to the pontificate of Bertrand de Goth, who became pope as Clement V, and was pledged to the service of the French King. Philip, who had obstructed the operations of commerce by debasing the coin of the realm to meet the exigencies of the state, was always in want of money.

"You were only entrusted with it for a time," she reminded him, with ominous calm. "It belongs to me." "A document received in this surreptitious fashion," he pronounced, "is presumably a treasonable document. I have no intention of returning it to you." She walked by his side for a few moments in silence. Glancing down into her face, Julian was almost startled.
