Macaulay, reviewing Barere's Memoirs and allowing for the difference in time and manners and morals there is a strange similarity between the leader of the French Revolution and the leader of the Senate said, "We now propose to do him, by the blessing of God, full and signal justice."
We recognise fully and freely that comparison implies similarity, points of resemblance, ay! and even features of identity. And of that admission much has been made and more than can be maintained.
In the case of the polyps, we have only to suppose that the ovum remains connected with the parent being, till all, or nearly all, its essential parts are produced. It is then shed not as a mere ovum, but as an animal nearly or wholly complete. Now, all the instances adduced by our author, to show similarity of action in the organic and the inorganic world, are irrelevant.
"I don't know anyone who likes to choose his company better than you!" observed Isabelle sarcastically. "Certainly I do. Similarity of environment presupposes similarity of tastes. Probably my idea of enjoyment would not accord with the chimney-sweep's, but at the same time I don't look down on the poor beggar because he hasn't been as fortunate as I in getting his bread well buttered.
The two were at least happy in each other's society, and were blessed with mutual affection, with pretty and engaging children, and with a similarity of tastes. It is impossible to imagine anything more stately, more devout, more regular, more innocent, more utterly dismal and insipid, than the lives of this wedded pair.
Then feeling free for the day, I upset my new friend and patron by going amongst the men and passengers as they came on deck. "Here, don't you be so fast," said Walters, as I was hurrying from place to place asking questions of the sailors, and finding interest in everything on board, where, though bearing a certain similarity, all was so different to the arrangements upon a yacht. "Fast!"
They seem to start from the declaration of the Lucianic creed, that the Lord's sonship is not an idle name. Now if we reject materialising views of the Divine Sonship, its primary meaning will be found to lie in similarity of essence. On this ground the Sirmian manifesto is condemned. Then follow eighteen anathemas, alternately aimed at Aetius and Marcellus.
I have given this passage in full, in spite of its length, because it is interesting and characteristic; it might indeed almost be said to be typical of the passages, not only in the Clementine Homilies, but also in other writers like Justin, which present this relation of double similarity to two of the Synoptics.
Despite his terror, however, he was not yet daunted; for with the picture of two skeletons before him he saw a gleam of hope and tried to fight back. "Twenty years is a long time, McGraw," he quavered, "and it's hard to trace a man by a mere similarity of names." "You can be traced through the Traders National, where you banked that check, and your identity established beyond a doubt.
As there are veins of water in the earth, and apertures through which the air can gain access, an analogy was inferred between its structure and that of an animal, leading to an inference of a similarity of functions.
