Their history is, however, but an epitome of the wonderful story of this great city of the glass and metal-workers, whose products supply the entire globe. In our journey through Midland England we have paused at many of the prison-houses of Mary Queen of Scots.
Here is an epitome of a far-spreading incredulity about the Bible. It is the higher criticism in its crudest popular form, and men are at the mercy of it. I have known a mess of officers engage in argument about the Bible with a sceptical Scots doctor, cleverer than they.
The heavy, expensive furniture was of a pattern new to me; and on the mantel were three or four photographs of ladies in the alluring costume of the musical stage, in which Tom evinced a particular interest. "Did grandfather send 'em?" he inquired. "They're Ham's," said Ralph, and he contrived somehow to get into those two words an epitome of his cousin's character.

His explanations of chemical phenomena were based on the phlogiston theory, in which, like Priestley, he always, believed. Although in error in this respect, he was, nevertheless, able to make his discoveries with extremely accurate interpretations. A brief epitome of the list of some of his more important discoveries conveys some idea, of his fertility of mind as well as his industry.
But this applies only to homogeneous states. Hungary's policies its status law and the economic benefits it bestowed upon expatriate Hungarians is the epitome of such tendencies. These axes of tension delineate and form central Europe's political landscape. The Procrustean categories of "left" and "right" do injustice to these subtleties.
Barbara, but he did not always paint up to it, by any means. "As to the rest, study them as a whole.
