Over forty years after, Irving made a detour, on his way from Madrid to Paris, to visit Tonneins, drawn thither solely by the recollection of this incident, vaguely hoping perhaps to apologize to the tender-hearted villagers for the imposition. His conscience had always pricked him for it. "It was a shame," he said, "to leave them with such painful impressions."
As regards the provision of elementary education, we indeed found that the whole burden might be legitimately laid upon the general taxpayer, upon the grounds either that the protective benefit of elementary education to the community was great, or that the hindrance opposed by the imposition of school fees to the fulfilment of a man's moral obligation to provide for the education of his children was so general that a case might be made out for freeing elementary education as a whole.
For what are tythes and tricks but an imposition, all a confounded imposture, and I can prove it. 'I wish you would, cried my son Moses, 'and I think, continued he, 'that I should be able to answer you. 'Very well, Sir, cried the 'Squire, who immediately smoaked him, and winking on the rest of the company, to prepare us for the sport, if you are for a cool argument upon that subject, I am ready to accept the challenge.

Then" frankly "you have just found me out." "I am afraid I have," said Lewisham. "I am afraid I have found you out."
I never did such a thing in my life before. I think I managed to leave about as much dirt in as I shook out. But I'll leave the house before I do it again." "So would I, John. It was downright mane imposition, so it was. Set a waiter to shaking carpets!" "I don't think much has been saved," remarked the waiter, "for Nancy has had a dollar a day ever since she has been here." "Indade!"
"My valuable Missing Link is more seriously injured than I imagined, and I may lose him, which would be a heavy blow, indeed, as the College of Naturalists of London, values the beast at four thousand and seventy pounds." "It's a fraud a blanky imposition!" cried a fierce little man. "Gentlemen will you favour me by stepping into the museum, and judging for yourself," said Thunder gravely.
It happened to be a sharp and sickly winter in Sardinia, insomuch that the general was forced to lay an imposition upon several towns to supply the soldiers with necessary clothes. The cities sent to Rome, petitioning to be excused from that burden; the senate found their request reasonable, and ordered the general to find some other way of new clothing the army.
Such a method was the only alternative to the imposition of dogma as truth, a procedure which reduced mind to the formal act of acquiescing in truth.
