The day after Jean Jacques had got a new lease of life and become his own banker, he treated himself to one of those interludes of pleasure from which he had emerged in the past like a hermit from his cave. He sat on the hill above his lime-kilns, reading the little hand-book of philosophy which had played so big a part in his life.
"The death! the death!" he muttered in a choking voice; "but there is something after the death that is worse than the death itself." "Are you distracted, George?" said the aunt. "This Bible was the hand-book and the rule of your mother's conduct in this world.
And nothing is more necessary than to seem to have this last-mentioned quality. Every one sees what you seem, few perceive what you are." Surely this hand-book of cant had been Philip's 'vade mecum' through his life's pilgrimage. It is at least a consolation to reflect that a career controlled by such principles came to an ignominious close.
The house, then, is the first element of home to be considered and studied; and we have settled certain points as to location and arrangement. This is no hand-book of plans for houses, that ground being thoroughly covered in various books, the titles of two or three of which are given in a list of reference-books at the end.
"Therefore," adds the astute editor of the hand-book, "on Siegfried nights it were well if the tourist were to go provided with an asbestos umbrella for use in case of an emergency of a similar nature."
Close on the heels, or rather the wings, of the Anthomyia Ceparum, fell the Peronospora Schleideniana.

SCENE I. Apartment of innocent but temporarily impecunious person.
She seemed disappointed, and he explained: "It's true I am in the hand-book as a member of the faculty, and I plead guilty to the degree of doctor of philosophy that I am proud of; but to be called professor robs me of my young humanity." This humorous explanation seemed to confuse her, and he added, kindly and naturally: "Really, Mrs. Lambert, I am a chemist and experimentalist in biology.
For current political information McPherson's Hand-book of Politics, issued every two years since 1870, is valuable.
And as the Earth is colde and dry: so Melancholy is colde and dry." Thomas Phaer: Regiment of Life, London, 1546. As the famous Regimen Sanitatis of Salernum, the popular family hand-book of the Middle Ages, says: Foure Humours raigne within our bodies wholly, And these compared to foure elements.
I submit that a French guide, a French hand-book or a poor translation, can do little to relieve this hunger, that Mont St Michel is fully worthy of some preliminary consideration, and that it should not be treated to the contemptuous scurry of a day's trip.
