It will be perceived that I have not here followed precisely the somewhat unsatisfactory version of King James's Bible, which, by translating or anglicizing one name, and not the other, leaves the whole passage less intelligible and impressive than it should be. I have retained the original Hebrew for both names.
The carte de jour was before Monsieur. He had but to give his orders. Monsieur could rely upon his special attention, and for the cooking well, he had his customers, who came from their homes to him year after year. And always they were well satisfied. He waited the pleasure of Monsieur. Sir John gave his order, deliberately stumbling now and then over a word, and anglicizing others.
The main purpose of the Act, the motive which turned the scale against the old Anglicizing policy, was to attach the leaders of French-Canadian opinion firmly to the British Crown, and thus not only to prevent Canada itself from becoming infected with democratic contagion or turning in a crisis toward France, but to ensure, if the worst came to the worst, a military base in that northland whose terrors had in old days kept the seaboard colonies circumspectly loyal.
As has already been seen, he was conscious of the political shortcomings of the French. Yet there was nothing penal in his attitude towards them, and he saw, with a clearness to which Durham never attained, how idle all talk of anglicizing French Canada must be. "I for one," he said, "am deeply convinced of the impolicy of all such attempts to denationalize the French.
The greatest danger to Afrikanerdom is the English policy of Anglicizing the Boer nation to submerge it by the process of assimilation. A distinct attitude of holding aloof from English influences is the only remedy against that peril and for thwarting that insidious policy.
The first open sign of the racial division which was to bedevil the life of the province came in 1806 when, in order to meet the attacks of the Anglicizing party, the newspaper "Le Canadien" was established at Quebec. Its motto was significant: "Notre langue, nos institutions, et nos lois." Craig and his counselors took up the challenge.
She missed her dancing-lesson next day, and when Monsieur Leclerc came in the evening he found a shade on her happy face. "Oh, dear!" said she, as he entered. "Oh, dear!" was Lucinda's favorite aspiration. Had she thought of it as an Anglicizing of "O Dieu!" perhaps she would have dropped it; but this time she went on headlong, with a valorous despair, "I have thought of something!
This was the proposal for the legislative union of Upper and Lower Canada with the avowed object of anglicizing by absorption the French population. This suggestion certainly did not promote racial peace.
I shall settle in some quiet place, and try and educate him for the University. I don't at all expect to be dull; and it evidently wouldn't do to thrust him straight into English life yet—he wants Anglicizing gradually. I hope he will be an average Englishman by the time he gets to Cambridge." Arthur heard the next day, from Mr.
I may, however, record to our credit one righteous act the perfect and satisfactory anglicizing of a Spanish word, whereby we have made 'canyon' out of cañon. And I cannot forbear to adduce another word for a fish soup, chowder, which the early settlers derived from the French name of the pot in which it was cooked, chaudière.
