This had always had a recognition d'estime, as the French say; but in my final year it fell into the hands of a new instructor, who proceeded to glorify it by amplification.
Terseness was not the special excellency of Macaulay's own style, yet even he resented Bishop Patrick's notion that the Collects could be improved by amplification.
