As my business continued to increase, it took me more and more from the ordinary nisi prius, and kept me perpetually employed in special matters. I had a great many compensation cases, where houses, lands, and businesses had been taken for public or company purposes.
This noise is a terrible nuisance, isn't it." "You're a good girl," said Mr. Bennett. "That's right!" said Sir Mallaby Marlowe. "Work while you're young, Sam, work while you're young." He regarded his son's bent head with affectionate approval. "What's the book to-day?" "Widgery on Nisi prius Evidence," said Sam, without looking up. "Capital!" said Sir Mallaby.
In Barnes's Euripides, Cantab. 1694, fol. p. 515, is a fragment of Euripides with a note which may explain the muddle of Boswell's correspondent: Certe ille deorum Arbiter ultricem cum vult extendere dextram Dementat prius." See ante, ii. 445, note 1. Sir D. O. is, perhaps, Sir D'Anvers Osborne, whose death is recorded in the Gent. Mag. 1753, p. 591.
Democritus, Pythagoras, Bacon. State the relation between them. In what terms must the objective world ultimately be stated? Why?

The remembrance of my Sessions days will never vanish from my mind, although at the period of which I am speaking they had long receded into the distant past. Even Nisi Prius was diminishing in importance, although increasing in its business and fees. Solicitors no longer condescended to deliver their briefs, but competed for my services.
As I never saw him before a jury I cannot speak of his quality as a nisi prius advocate; but I cannot imagine that he could have had eminent success, and certainly he could not have had success, in the later period of his career. Mr. Rantoul died at the age of forty-seven.
But no, nothing could save that man; quem deus vult perdere, prius dementat. As he came so he went, and left his rights depending. Late at night, by Silverado reckoning, and after we were all abed, Mrs. Hanson returned to give us the newest of her news.
This view is evidently widely disseminated and has found very abundant support, at least in the letters addressed to me. “The mind,” so wrote the Horseherd, “is not a prius, it is a development, a self-evolving phenomenon.” Everything is now development, and there is no better salve for all ills than development.
Holy things, religious privileges, had become merchandise with which the Popes trafficked. The chronicler Burchardus relates: "In those days the following couplet was sung in nearly the whole Christian world: "Vendit Alexander claves, Altaria, Christum, Emerat ista prius, vendere juste potest."
