Intolerant of foreign rule, and blinded by the theoretical supremacy of the Empire to the need of looking beyond its own municipal institutions, each city in the twelfth century sought to introduce such a system into the already existing machinery of the burgh as should secure its independence and place the government in the hands of its citizens.
Cessation of Government Regulation* These theoretical opinions came to be more and more widely held, more and more influential over the most thoughtful of English statesmen and other men of prominence, until within the first half of the nineteenth century it may be said that their acceptance was general and their influence dominant.
The period of Gaffori's greatest achievements in theoretical work, especially his noted "Practica Musicae," from which Hawkins quotes copiously, was later than his residence at Mantua, but his studies at that court at least betoken the existence of a congenial atmosphere, and we may be assured that such an enlightened amateur as Ludovico did not neglect opportunities to acquaint himself with the workings of this studious mind.
His progress in geometry may serve as a test and a true measure of the growth of his intelligence, but as soon as he can distinguish between what is useful and what is useless, much skill and discretion are required to lead him towards theoretical studies.
Happily the theoretical fire-eater had faith superior to his own arguments; faith in a woman's insight as finer than his own; and he is let off with a gratified rebuke for preternatural submissiveness and for arraying her in pontifical garments of authority which hang loose upon so small a figure.
The truth that the production of animal heat implies waste of substance, and that, therefore, preventing loss of heat prevents the need for extra food a purely theoretical conclusion now guides the fattening of cattle: it is found that by keeping cattle warm, fodder is saved.

She had theoretical ideas of life which were not bad, but in practice, she had gained her objects, and she was in a hurry to have liberty to enjoy them.
From the theoretical point of view, one can only approve the practice, since it certainly makes for plasticity. It is evident that a detached scene, written while those that lead up to it are as yet but vaguely conceived, must be subject to indefinite modification.
And whatever may be his theoretical views, no naturalist will probably be disposed to demur to the following summary of that exposition: Living beings, whether animals or plants, are divisible into multitudes of distinctly definable kinds, which are morphological species.
If she be discreet, she may entertain lovers galore; she may refuse to perform any of the theoretical duties of the home; she may refuse to bear children or to surrender to her husband, without censure, and often without the knowledge of the world.
