Wilkins, Bishop of Chester, and published early in the reign of Charles II., a folio which I, in youthful days, not only read but studied, this language is recorded and accurately described amongst many other modes of cryptical communication, oral and visual, spoken, written, or symbolic.
No: it is not in harmony; nor is it meant to be in harmony. On the contrary, it is meant to be in antagonism and intense repulsion. And yet, from the blindness or inconsiderate examination of his critics, this latent wisdom this cryptical science of poetic effects in the mighty poet, has been misinterpreted, and set down to the account of defective skill, or even of puerile ostentation.
Of course, it took me about half-an-hour to Champollion all this information from the cryptical utterances of the friendly Asiatic. "You allee same Christian," I remarked, packing away my breakfast-service. "You go long-a good place bimeby." "Me Clistian allee same you," he replied, not without dignity "Convelt plully long time. 'Paul' Clistian name. Splink' wattel, all li."
The merest possibility exists, that in Armenia, or in a Græco-Russian monastery on Mount Athos, or in Pompeii, &c., some authors hitherto +anekdotoi+ may yet be concealed; and by a channel in that degree improbable, it is possible that certain new facts of history may still reach us. But else, and failing these cryptical or subterraneous currents of communication, for us the record is closed.
But gradually all wonder subsides de jure, in nine days; and, after this collapse of the primary interest, there was leisure for a secondary interest to gather about the subject of the patrician lecture. Had it any cryptical meaning?
The others all interrupted him, and said they hadn't got the hump and they didn't know what he meant. Then Dora said, "Oh, don't be so disagreeable, Oswald, for goodness' sake!" I assure you she did, though he had done simply nothing. Matters were in this cryptical state when the door opened and Father came in. "Hullo, kiddies!" he remarked kindly. "Beastly wet day, isn't it? And dark too.
The merest possibility exists, that in Armenia, or in a Graeco-Russian monastery on Mount Athos, or in Pompeii, &c., some authors hitherto αιεχδοτοι may yet be concealed; and by a channel in that degree improbable, it is possible that certain new facts of history may still reach us. But else, and failing these cryptical or subterraneous currents of communication, for us the record is closed.
He did not explain that somewhat cryptical remark, and presently he left her and went to his room. Mary V felt that she was not being trusted by a person who surely ought to know by this time that he needn't be so secretive about his thoughts and intentions. If she had not proved her loyalty and her friendship by this time, what did a person want her to do, for gracious sake?
I forget whether in the Bishop of Chester's account of this cryptical language the consonant intercalated be G or not. Evidently any consonant will answer the purpose. F or L would be softer, and so far better.
The famous JOHN BAPTISTA PORTA had a love of the mysterious parts of sciences, such as physiognomy, natural magic, the cryptical arts of writing, and projected many curious inventions which astonished his age, and which we have carried to perfection.
