"Do you know what we are going to do, Tom?" Tom shook his head. "Strike the curve on that piece of zinc that we are to make our speculum." "Curve?" said Tom; "why, it's quite round now." "Yes; the edge is, but we are going to work at the face." "But arn't you going to polish it into a looking-glass?" "Yes; but not a flat one a plane.
This mishap was eventually traced to the fact that one of the walls of the oven had only a single brick in its thickness, and that therefore the heat had escaped more easily through that side than through the other sides which were built of double thickness. The speculum had, consequently, not cooled uniformly, and hence the fracture had resulted.
The two ministers talked together most affectionately in a close whisper, so affectionately, that one might have seen, with half an eye, that they hated each other like poison! INSPICERE tanquam in speculum, in vitas omnium Jubeo.* TERENCE. * "I bid you look into the lives of all men, as it were into a mirror."
Well! Quid multis? I say, that taking all these things into speculation, looking at them veluti in speculum it is neither dacent nor becoming that I should ate in the manner I have done, as vulgarly as themselves that I should ate, I say, any longer, without knife and fork.
He led the way through the open door, and round to the window beneath which the speculum had lain upon the bench, and examined the lately made flower-bed, in which various creepers had been planted to run up the wall.
They are least excusable for any error in this disease, by reason that it is in some sort palpable; and 'tis thence that I conclude surgery to be much more certain, by reason that it sees and feels what it does, and so goes less upon conjecture; whereas the physicians have no 'speculum matricis', by which to examine our brains, lungs, and liver.
"The next grade of emery, boy," was the reply; "our task is of course now not to grind the speculum deeply, but to grind out all these scratches till it is as limpid as the surface of pure water." "Don't look possible," said Tom. "Well, we will try."
"But but there was the beautiful, carefully-ground speculum there on that bench, just as uncle and I had finished it. We left it covered over last night with the blanket and and " he added in a tone of despair, "it isn't there now." "Well, I never touched it, sir," said the gardener; "you may search my pockets if you like."
And now what do you think about that? Is not this a novel undertaking, and one which no philosopher has as yet approached, I mean this attempt to show how a woman may be prevented from deceiving her husband? Is not this the comedy of comedies? Is it not a second speculum vitae humanae. We are not now dealing with the abstract questions which we have done justice to already in this Meditation.
In 1570, he was translated to London, in 1576 to York, and in 1588, he died: his sermons are still admired, and a most virtuous character is given him by Fuller. His son, Sir Edward Sandys, Prebendary of York, was born about 1561, and is well known as the author of the tract entitled, "Europae Speculum," a view of the State of Religion in the Western parts of the World.
