The city was rebuilt in a very little time; and care was taken to make the streets wider and more regular than before. A discretionary power was assumed by the king to regulate the distribution of the buildings, and to forbid the use of lath and timber, the materials of which the houses were formerly composed.
How and with what scope of discretionary powers the insular parliament was expected to set about the "preparation" of peace did not appear.
Second; That when the struggle is in the nature of a revolution, and so long as the attempted revolution is in active progress, no definite limits can be given to the 'theatre of operations, but the administration must be regarded as possessing a limited discretionary power in the use of martial law."
"Then why have you told me?" he asked. "Because," said Traquair grandly, "it is Miss McTavish's resolution to make no opposition to your claim." "I see; I am to become 'The' without a fight."

The comprehensiveness of this brief and sudden document of surrender was appalling! Mr. Lincoln had never before shown any inclination to depute to others so much of his own discretionary authority; his habit was quite the other way. It is not worth while to discuss much the merits or demerits of President Lincoln's schemes for reconstruction.
These two despatches were the initiatory steps in sending the Fifth Corps, under Major-General G. K. Warren, to report to me, and when I received word of its coming and also that Genera Mackenzie's cavalry from the Army of the James was likewise to be added to my command, and that discretionary authority was given me to use all my forces against Pickett, I resolved to destroy him, if it was within the bounds of possibility, before he could rejoin Lee.
His early advocacy of music and drawing, not to produce artists, but to develop personality, also bore some fruit. The man of science, too, was found defending Latin as a discretionary subject, alternatively with a modern language.
