The growth of a slave, or a slave's child, into a free man or woman, the birth and development of true family life, could we see this in its millions of instances, or even distinctly in one typical instance, with all its phases of struggle, mistake, disappointment, success, the growth of character, the blossoming of manhood and womanhood, it would be a more moving spectacle than any that Shakespeare has given.
When, however, the decade 1890-99 is taken by itself as the typical period, it is found that of 120 marriages, 107 were limited, and only thirteen unlimited, while of these thirteen, five were childless at the date of the return. In this decade, therefore, only seven unlimited fertile marriages are reported, out of a total of 120.
Yet could that rest be nothing else but typical; for God, never since the world began, really rested, but in his Son. 'This is he, saith God, 'in whom I am well pleased. This sabbath then, was God's rest typically, and was given to Israel as a sign of his grace towards them in Christ.
There was a long moment, absolutely, during which her impression rose and rose, even as that of the typical charmed gazer, in the still museum, before the named and dated object, the pride of the catalogue, that time has polished and consecrated.

It is an allegory which teaches us that in this world man can only approximate to the full conception of truth.
He was a powerful man physically, and a typical frontiersman. He was born in Kentucky in 1791, and, with his wife, moved to Illinois in 1815. He settled in Sangamon County in 1818, and in 1829 took up his abode in a cabin on a hill overlooking the Sangamon River, and, with James Rutledge, founded the town of New Salem. According to tradition, Lincoln, for a time, lived with the Camerons.
Of these three daughters one, as I have said, married Lord Arthur Russell, the next, and she, I am glad to say, lives in full intellectual vigour, married Lord Sligo, a typical "great gentleman" of the middle Victorian period.

The menu for Sunday was a typical one, as follows: Breakfast Oatmeal and milk, coffee and bread. Dinner Vegetable soup, stewed canned meat, stewed corn, coffee and bread.
To conclude, we may perhaps allow something to the personal qualities of Artaxerxes, who appears to have possessed all the merits of the typical Oriental conqueror. Artabanus was among the most able of the later Parthian monarchs; but his antagonist was more than this, possessing true military genius.
