And whatever its abuses and degradations, the fourth estate is certainly one of the very few widely operative educational forces to-day, and has played an important part in spreading the idea of the brotherhood of man. That the essay and its branch form, the character sketch, both found in the Spectator Papers, were contributory to the Novel's development, is sure.
It seems to us that, a certain perfection being given, the whole continuity of degradations is given also between this perfection, on the one hand, and the nought, on the other hand, that we think we conceive.
I warn you, madam, you cannot hinder the destined union of these two child-spirits, in after-years, as man and wife. Part them now and YOU will be responsible for the sacrifices, degradations and distresses through which your George and my Mary may be condemned to pass on their way back to each other in later life. "Now my mind is unburdened. Now I have said all.
And, what's more, you won't think it a hardship. 'How do you know that? I have borne dreadful degradations rather than lose my money. 'That was for the child's sake, not for your own. He said it softly and kindly, and for the first time Nancy met his eyes without defiance. 'It was; I could always have earned my own living, somehow. Tarrant paused a moment, then spoke with look averted.
At an early stage of the acquaintance we proved our respect for his kind of white by forbidding him our enclosure under pain of death. Our enclosure, round which this composite of degradations wandered, was of some extent. In one corner was a trellis with a long table of rough boards.
It is among the rich babous, or commercial natives, of Calcutta that the remarkable reformatory movement known as "Young India" has had its origin, and it would really seem that the very same qualities of patience, of prudence, of foresight and of good sense which have helped these babous to accumulate their wealth are now about being applied to the nobler and far more difficult work of lifting their countrymen out of the degradations of old outworn customs and faiths upon some higher plane of reasonable behavior.
Thus, considering merely this analogism, might one have prophetically announced, even in the generations immediately succeeding to Christ, when Christianity bade fair to become a world-power in a new civilization, that here, indeed, was a new planting of Mysteries, which, although infinitely transcending them in fulness and meaning, were yet the counterparts of mysteries which had hitherto swayed the human heart, but that, pure and holy as were these mysteries, they should yet, in their human connections, share the vicissitudes of the old, that, like them, they should march through tribulations on to triumph, that, like them, once having triumphed and become a recognized source of power, they should be linked with hierarchical delusions and the degradations of despotism, that, like them, too, in some future generation, they should, through the protesting intellect, be uplifted from these delusions and degradations.
It is so with starvation, and all things physical. It is so with things mental, with degradations, with desolation; the scars and more than scars remain: there is outward healing, it may be, but we often flinch at mere remembrance. But time is the vehicle of philosophy; as the years pass we learn that in all our misfortunes was something not without value.
Here, however, I hear it said that the commission of a robbery at another's suggestion is, in the first place, the deepest of degradations, and, in the second place, unparalleled in history." Von Bulow, The Campaign of 1805.
The baser part of the multitude delight in degradations, apart from any hatred; it is the satire they best understand. There was a fresh hoot of triumph as the three degraded brethren passed on to the tribunal of the Papal Commissaries, who were to pronounce them schismatics and heretics. Did not the prophet look like a schismatic and heretic now?
