"Caelo tonantem credidimus Jovem regnare," says Horace; and it was only by the excitement of such peculiarly horrid situations, that the sense of a superintending power could be awakened within me, a hardened and incorrigible sinner. I changed my clothes, and was glad when night came, that I might be left to myself; but oh, how infinitely more horrid did my situation appear!
What follows would indeed be incomprehensible without a knowledge of certain peculiarities in the Breton character. The most marked feature in the people of Brittany is their affection. Love is with them a tender, deep, and affectionate sentiment, rather than a passion. It is an inward delight which wears and consumes, differing toto caelo from the fiery passion of southern races.
So far, so good; but where local agents differed toto caelo in capacity and character, where the personnel was continually changing, the outcome was necessarily varied. The largest element of success lay in the fact that the majority of the freedmen were willing, even eager, to work.

'That, my lord, I also strive to say with all my heart, said Dr. Bayly.
I have seen half the AEneid turned into Latin Rhymes by one of the Beaux Esprits of that dark Age; who says in his Preface to it, that the AEneid wanted nothing but the Sweets of Rhyme to make it the most perfect Work in its Kind. Tot, tibi, sunt, Virgo, dotes, quot, sidera, Caelo. Thou hast as many Virtues, O Virgin, as there are Stars in Heaven.
In the line before the last we should probably read -multarum leges divumque hominumque.
