The distinction they embody is a very important one, and they are the first technical terms which I shall ask you to remember. In the successive mutations of our fields of consciousness, the process by which one dissolves into another is often very gradual, and all sorts of inner rearrangements of contents occur.

Mr Benson had been too much gratified and touched, by her unconditional gift of all she had in the world, to reject it; but he only held it in his hands as a deposit until he could find a safe investment befitting so small a sum. The little rearrangements of the household expenditure had not touched him as they had done the women.

When sun and storm contend together when the thick clouds are broken up and pierced by arrows of golden daylight there will be startling rearrangements and transfigurations of the mountain summits.
The pamphlet named at the head of this article, and which is but a complement to the volume, is one of the numerous reconstructions and rearrangements of European limits made in the quiet of the study. Were it this alone, it would deserve but little attention. It is more.
