The moralists tell us that suffering ennobles, and that a right acceptation of hindrances goes towards forming a beautiful character. But this result must largely depend on the original character: certainly, in the case of Robert Allitsen, suffering had not ennobled his mind, nor disappointment sweetened his disposition.
Macaulay's Essays are in something more than the ordinary loose acceptation of the term a household word; and it cannot be necessary to single out individual instances where almost all are famous, and where all deserve their fame.
During all those centuries the civilized world, in our acceptation of the term, was occupied, as its chief task, in slowly climbing back to the position from which it had fallen after the age of the Antonines. Of course a general statement like this must be accepted with qualifications.

Or they convert old coat tails into decent cloth caps, and may be industrious enough to supply a tribe of women with a Saturday night's stock. As cobblers, they ply the craft of "translation" a trade, even in this lower acceptation of the term, peculiarly liable to abuse.

There are no accidents as I have often heard you say in the common acceptation of the term; therefore this was no accident." "It was a providence," said Rose. "And to what end?" asked Irene. Mrs. Everet shook her head.
