One enjoins that corpses be buried in honey it is a fortunate circumstance that his desire is not complied with, otherwise where would any honey-wine be left? Another thinks that men grow out of the earth like cresses. -Postremo, nemo aegrotus quicquam somniat Tam infandum, quod non aliquis dicat philosophus-.
At, secundum nos, axiomata continenter et gradatim excitantur, ut non, nisi postremo loco, ad maxime generalia veniatur." Can any words more exactly describe the political reasonings of Mr Mill than those in which Lord Bacon thus describes the logomachies of the schoolmen?
The wide acceptance of the territorial theory of the origin of war as an explanation of war, and the enumeration by historians of causes and results in territory or taxation, can be ascribed only to that indolence of the human mind, the subtle inertia which, as Tacitus affirms, lies in wait to mar all high endeavour "Subit quippe etiam ipsius inertiae dulcedo, et invisa primo desidia postremo amatur."
Mr Mill springs at once to a general principle of the widest extent, and from that general principle deduces syllogistically every thing which is included in it. We say with Bacon "non, nisi postremo loco, ad maxime generalia veniatur." In the present inquiry, the science of human nature is the "maxime generale." To this the Utilitarian rushes at once, and from this he deduces a hundred sciences.
Dublin, printed in the year 1724-5. Ceteri, quanto quis servitio promptior, opibus et honoribus extollerentur: Invalido legum auxilio, quae vi, ambitu, postremo pecunia turbabantur. Tacit. An.
Which learned lecture of my man brought this of Terence into my memory: "Hoc salsum est, hoc adustum est, hoc lautum est, parum: Illud recte: iterum sic memento: sedulo Moneo, qux possum, pro mea sapientia. Postremo, tanquam in speculum, in patinas, Demea, Inspicere jubeo, et moneo, quid facto usus sit."
Without the porch, the moonlight full upon his harsh features and sturdy frame, stood the ill-omened Traveller. "Can he not be sociable?" Troilus and Cressida. "Subit quippe etiam ipsius inertiae dulcedo; et invisa primo desidia postremo amatur." Tacitus. "How use doth breed a habit in a man! This shadowy desert, unfrequented woods, I better brook than flourishing people towns." Winter's Tale.
This man, because he put the consuls down, Has been rewarded with a royal crown. Brutus, quia reges ejecit, consul primus factus est: Hic, quia consules ejecit, rex postremo factus est. About sixty persons were engaged in the conspiracy against him, of whom Caius Cassius, and Marcus and Decimus Brutus were the chief.
Postremo afferuntur aquilae, struthiones, gryphandi, accipitres, et papingi, cum diuersis auibus et auiculis, nec non serpentes ac pisces, quorum portitores inclinant profunde, quoniam dicunt omnes terrenas creaturas debere adorationem Imperatori Grand Can filio Dei excelsi: et his perfectis, Musicae Camenae persoluunt debita plene.
Subit quippe etiam ipsius inertiae dulcedo: et invisa primo desidia postremo amatur. Quid, si per quindecim annos, grande mortalis aevi spatium, multi fortuitis casibus, promptissimus quisque saevitia principis interciderunt?
