This was Mary's own chaplain, Rene Benoit. Mary probably knew that he was about to offer to meet "the most learned John Knox and other most erudite men, called ministers"; it is thus that Rene addresses them in his "Epistle" of November 19.
His books were for spiritual use, like maps and charts of the mind of man, and not much for 'excellence of divertisement. He had the gift of bringing his reading to bear easily upon the tenor of his musings, and knew how to use books as an aid to thinking, instead of letting them take the edge off thought. There was assuredly nothing of the compiler or the erudite collegian in him.
The whole thing then was a colossal bluff Arabella was the brain! Arabella was the erudite, cultured person and his admirable Cecilia played the rôle of extremely clever parrot! He laughed with bitter cynical merriment until he shook in his bed. And he, poor fool, had been taken in by it all he and a number of others. He was in company at all events!
Don't cry so; I shall come back some of these days, such an erudite, such an elegant young man, you will hardly know me. Only five years. I am almost seventeen now; time passes very quickly, and you will scarcely miss me before I shall be at home again." He lifted up her face, and laughed gayly as he spoke. "When are you to go?" "The vessel sails Wednesday three days from now.
I confidently submit that what progress is now being made in this most erudite of sciences is in the nature of that of the crab backwards! In the discussions of Aristotle, the problem in view was, how to bring about government by the wisest, that is, the most observant and expert. In other words, government, the object of politics, was by Aristotle treated in a scientific spirit.
The Dooranee monarch-elect had already crossed the Indus, and was encamped at Shikarpore, when he was joined by Mr William Hay Macnaghten, of the Company's Civil Service, the high functionary who had been gazetted as 'Envoy and Minister on the part of the Government of India at the Court of Shah Soojah-ool-Moolk. Durand pronounces the selection an unhappy one, 'for Macnaghten, long accustomed to irresponsible office, inexperienced in men, and ignorant of the country and people of Afghanistan, was, though an erudite Arabic scholar, neither practised in the field of Asiatic intrigue nor a man of action.
So my philosophy is merely a continuation and modification of that taught by Heraclitus and Plato, but with a Jewish background for mine is the only moral nation. The wisdom of the Rabbis, their Monotheism and ethics, are all there." His eyes were ablaze. "You are very erudite, Philo Judæus!" exclaimed his listener; "but, tell me, is there no actual foundation for your Jewish god?"
DEAR BOY: I have received your Latin "Lecture upon War," which though it is not exactly the same Latin that Caesar, Cicero, Horace, Virgil, and Ovid spoke, is, however, as good Latin as the erudite Germans speak or write.
And I cannot incline to the view you take of your profession. I may not be as erudite as some; however, I hold it that the ignorant and not the learned have most need of good example." "Aye! I always told the old reprobate so," interposes Madam Ashley, with great fervor. "A charge," resumes the Judge, "quite sufficient to warrant me in committing you to durance vile, might be preferred.
Respecting many of these mysterious records of a past age, page after page has been written to prove, and even disprove, the supposed intent of their constructors; and it cannot but be admitted that after perusing many an erudite disquisition, we are sometimes as well-informed, and as near arriving at a conclusion as to the original purpose for which the object under discussion was intended, as when our attention was first engaged in it.
