With an air of indescribable dignity, Giglio checked their natural, but no more seemly, familiarity. "Jones, Smith, my good friends," said the PRINCE, "disguise is henceforth useless; I am no more the humble student Giles, I am the descendant of a royal line." "Atavis edite regibus. I know, old co " cried Jones. "Friends," continued the Prince, "I am that Giglio: I am, in fact, Paflagonia.
Is that beautiful creation of Dickens, “Poor Nell,” a real or a fictitious character? And is the offence, after all, merely in the manner, and not the matter, of the transgression? Is it that, instead of coming before the world printed, puffed, and hot-pressed by the gentlemen of the Row, he ventured to edite himself, and, instead of the trade, make his tongue the medium of publication?

Cobb is quite uncritical of his own work, and two of these stories are of merely ephemeral value. I should like no better task than to edite a selection of Mr. Cobb's stories in one volume for introduction to the English public, and I think that such a volume would be the best service American letters could render to English letters at the present moment.
Of an evening he went often to the Sign of the Dial, and there read his lines and got friendly but severe criticism. He came into the shop one evening, his "Horace" under his arm. "'Maecenas, atavis, edite regibus'" Trove chanted, pausing to recall the lines. The tinker turned quickly. "'O et presidium et duice decus meum," he quoted, never stopping until he had finished She ode.
Nothing could overcome this propensity to low society and sotting, but the having something to do, which required his whole attention and faculties; and then he shut himself up for weeks together in his chambers, or at the university, to collate old manuscripts, or edite a Greek tragedy, or expose a grave pedant, without seeing a single boon companion, or touching a glass of wine.
"Edite, bibite, collegiales! Post multa sæcula Pocula nulla." The political attitude of the forties was very much the same. The national enthusiasm, the wars of freedom, and the sanguine hopes which had attended the downfall of the Corsican, had, like the expectations aroused by the Revolutionists of the days of July, ended in miserable disaster.
Edgar to edite and reprint one or more series of stories from "The Bellman." Such an undertaking would fill a very real need. Edna Ferber shares with Fannie Hurst the distinction of portraying the average American mind in its humbler human relations.
I would try a man's knowledge of the world, as I would a schoolboy's knowledge of Horace: not by making him construe 'Maecenas atavis edite regibus', which he could do in the first form; but by examining him as to the delicacy and 'curiosa felicitas' of that poet.
This looked like a fairly easy game, and before long we were marking the quantities in the first line of the Aeneid, as other school-children had done ever since the time of St. Augustine: Arma vi|rumque ca|no Tro|jae qui | primus ab|oris. Or perhaps it was Horace's Maece|nas, atavis || edite reg|ibus.
