Some of the notes just mentioned were in the handwriting of Regnault de St. Jean d'Angely, and some in Lucien Bonaparte's.
The subjects are arranged alphabetically, and embrace nearly all themes of human interest from ability to zephyrs. There is very little from Whitman, and, I think, only one quotation from Thoreau. The death of Howells gave me a shock. I had known him long, though not intimately. He was my senior by only one month. It had been two years or more since I had seen him.
The names were then called over alphabetically, and, after they were all gone through, they were recalled. This ceremony being terminated, four committees, each composed of four members, whose names were drawn by lot by the President, proceeded, in presence of the assembly, to scrutinize the ballot. It thence resulted, that the number of members present was two hundred and twenty-eight;
"I wish now the second accountant would copy these in a little book I have prepared for the purpose, arranging them alphabetically, referring all doubtful cases again to me." The second accountant then arranged the papers, and prepared them to go into the book, and the writer who belongs to the department copied them fairly.
A whole horse a whole livin' horse A whole horse!" "Well, you wouldn't want a half one, would you, Miss Babcock? Nor one that wasn't living?" demanded Monty, laughing. "Quit crying and let's choose, for that's what Leslie said we were to do. Is that correct, Mr. Ford?" "Entirely. But see to it that your choice falls each on a different animal!

It has since been five times almost remodelled, arranged alphabetically, and greatly enlarged; but it still preserves its old distinguishing feature of treating great scientific and historical subjects exhaustively under a single head: for instance, there are two elaborate historical articles on "Britain" and "England," but none on Charles I. or Charles II.; long articles on "Animal Kingdom" and "Mammalia," so long, in fact, that it is almost impossible to find anything in them without an index, but none on the separate animals.
The secretary got as far as Blanton, the third county alphabetically down the list. And Blanton was one of the contested counties. So up rose two rival chairmen of delegations, each waving aloft his credentials, each demanding the right to cast the vote of free and sovereign Blanton, each shaking a clenched fist at the other. Up got the rival delegations from Blanton. Up got everybody.
Peterkin to his wife, "before many weeks, we shall be drinking our milk from jugs made by our children." Elizabeth Eliza hoped for a thorough study. "Yes," said Mr. Peterkin, "we might begin with botany. That would be near to Agamemnon alphabetically. We ought to find out the botany of butter. On what does the cow feed?"

"'The pen is mightier than the sword, page 233, Apt Quotations for All Occasions," said Eliph', "this being one of three thousand quotations, arranged alphabetically according to subject, as 'Bird in the hand, Bird of a feather, Bird killing two with one stone, et cetery, including 'Leap look before you, and 'Sure be sure you're right, then go ahead. What do you mean to print?"
He soon saw, for he was learned himself, that I had received a classical education, and he employed me in the confidential capacity of finding quotations for him.
