In order to speak good English, Wallis now and then, like some Scotch people of better education, anglicized a word ludicrously. "Is there no news of his marriage?" asked Malcolm, adding, "they say he has great property." "My love she's but a lassie yet," said Wallis, " though she too has changed quite as much as my lord."
They called the fort Kosstromitinoff, but the Spaniards referred to it as el fuerte de los Rusos, which was anglicized as Fort Russ, and, finally, as Fort Ross. The colony prospered for a while, but sealing "pinched out" and the territory occupied was too small to satisfy agricultural needs.
We grow nobly like what we adore, and ignobly like what we hate; and no people in Ireland became so anglicized in intellect and temperament, and even in the manner of expression, as those who hated our neighbors most. All hatreds long persisted in bring us to every baseness for which we hated others.
Half a dozen Englishmen, thread for thread in similar garb, still lounged in the Collector's drawing-room. He appeared the very symbol of Anglicized India. The brown, half-naked mob surged and struggled to look at him. The brown, half-naked orator still pointed at him, and waited for reply. Meanwhile, he had been recognized. "Iswar Chandra by Jove," muttered the Judge.
Flanders owes everything to its water communications. At the junction of the Schelde with the Lys and Lei, there grew up in the very early Middle Ages a trading town, named Gent in Flemish, and Gand in French, but commonly Anglicized as Ghent.
Where Texas found the party whom she has made president of her boasted university, I cannot imagine, but he talks like an Anglicized Yankee one of those fellows who try to conceal the cerulean hue of their equators by wearing the British flag for a belly-band.
I suppose most people know that this word "Key," meaningless in its application to the low islands which it designates, is the anglicized form of the Spanish "Cayo." Among the valued acquaintances of my life I here met a clergyman, whose death at the age of eighty I see as these words pass from my pen.
In no very good humour was he, as you may suppose; for his father, called William the Hardy, or William Longlegs, having refused, on any terms, to become Anglicized, was made a lawful prisoner, and died as such, closely confined in Berwick, or, as some say, in Newcastle.
"If the word 'Pongo' be of African origin, it is probably a corruption of the word 'Mpongwe', the name of the tribe on the banks of the Gaboon, and hence applied to the region they inhabit. Their local name for the Chimpanzee is 'Enche-eko', as near as it can be Anglicized, from which the common term 'Jocko' probably comes.
In strict pronunciation they should have been sounded vice versâ but in those young years they impressed me with more awe than they would now do, read aright from Seneca or Varro in his own peculiar pronunciation, monosyllabically elaborated, or Anglicized, into something like verse verse. Andrew's has to bestow.
