They seem to have set to work at their task methodically enough, under the direction of their most literary monarch, Ptolemy Philadelphus. Alexander the AEtolian collected and revised the tragedies, Lycophron the comedies, Zenodotus the poems of Homer, and the other poets of the Epic cycle, now lost to us.
Thus the old Jerusalem creed says that the Lord 'sat down at the right hand of the Father; our 'Nicene, that he 'sitteth. Now this is a favourite point of Cyril in his Catecheses that the Lord did not sit down once for all, but that he sitteth so for ever. Similarly other points. We also know that other local creeds were revised about the same time and in the same way.
If we take this first protocol of the conference, and look to the speech made by Count Buol and to the proposition he made, you will find the third article runs in this language: 'The treaty of July 13, 1841, shall be revised with the double object, and so on. But what is the meaning of revising the treaty of 1841?
It fell upon me to examine the many Acts of Parliament of the Glasgow and South-Western Railway, to collate the provisions relating to tolls, charges and maximum powers, to compare those powers with actual rates, to work out cost of terminal service, and to draw up a revised proposed scale of maximum conveyance rates and terminal charges.
The revised version, published in 1901, is referred to. The original edition, which appeared in 1888, is decidedly inferior. From the "Sea Pieces," for piano. This scope and amplitude of expression are realised through a method at once plastic and unlaboured; his art has spontaneity the deceptive spontaneity of the expert craftsman. It is not, in its elements, a strikingly novel style.
Doran, F.S.A. Edited and revised by Robert W. Lowe. John C. Nimmo. THOSE who care for the history of the drama as a branch of literature, or for the history of that general development of human manners of which the stage has been always an element and a very lively measure or index, will be grateful to Mr. Lowe for this revised and charmingly illustrated edition of Dr. Doran's pleasant old book.
"You what!" Magnan looked wild. "But the agreement it's been revised! Ambassador Crodfoller has gone on record...." "Too bad. Glad I didn't tell him about it." Magnan leaned back and closed his eyes. "It was big of you to take all the ... blame," Retief said, "when the Ambassador was talking about knighting people." Magnan opened his eyes. "What about that gambler, Zorn? Won't he be upset?"
Is it too much to say that a volume written by a guide such as this is simply indispensable for any one who prepares himself for introducing to his people the government of whose souls has been committed to him the Revised Version of the New Testament of our Lord and Master Jesus Christ.
No I didn't think." Mr. Fotheringay waved his hand. "What shall we have?" he said, in a large, inclusive spirit, and, at Mr. Maydig's order, revised the supper very thoroughly. "As for me," he said, eyeing Mr. Maydig's selection, "I am always particularly fond of a tankard of stout and a nice Welsh rarebit, and I'll order that.
II. I now pass onward to the consideration of the renderings in the Revised Version of the New Testament. The object and purpose of the consideration will be exactly the same, as in the foregoing pages, to show the faithful thoroughness of the Revision, but the manner of showing this will be somewhat different to the method I have adopted in the foregoing portion of this Address.
