"Sine me vacivum tempus ne quod dem mihi Laboris."* TER. * Suffer me to employ my spare time in some kind of labour. "I CAN'T think," said one of a group of young men, loitering by the steps of a clubhouse in St. James's Street "I can't think what has chanced to Maltravers. He stoops like an old man, and hardly ever lifts his eyes from the ground. He certainly seems sick and sad."
And how great are the obligations of that vast portion of the most suffering classes of the community, whom he exempted from this extraordinary contribution to the burdens of the state! But now for foreign affairs. May not the present Ministers look with just pride towards every quarter of the globe, and exclaim, Quæ regio in terris nostri non plena laboris?
What region, from time immemorial, has not witnessed their thrift and their love of money? Well may a Jew say, as well as a Greek, “Quæ regio in terris nostri non plena laboris.” Taking the advice of Jeremiah they built houses, planted gardens, and submitted to their fate, even if they bewailed it “by the rivers of Babylon,” in such sad contrast to their old mountain homes.
Skeletons, in the ancient graves of Germany, are found to vary from 5 ft. 10 in. to 6 ft. 10 in. and even 7 ft. Cf. Ukert, Geog. III. 1. p. 197. These skeletons indicate a strong and well formed body. Impetum. Temporary exertion, as opposed to persevering toil and effort, laboris atque operum. Eadem. Not so much patientia, as ad impetum valida.
Piozzi Letters, i. 267. I do not find the description in Young's Six Months' Tour through the North of England, but in Pilkington's Present State of Derbyshire, ii. 120. 'Quae regio in terris nostri non plena laboris? 'What place, what land in all the earth but with our grief is stored? Morris, Æneids, i. 460. See ante, March 21 and 28, 1776. At Derby.
The Oxford movement was broken, it failed; our wrecks are scattered on every shore: Quae regio in terris nostri non plena laboris?+ But what was it, this liberalism, as Dr. Newman saw it, and as it really broke the Oxford movement?

The Netherlands share other glories than that of having nursed the most indomitable spirit of liberty known to mediteval Europe. The fine as well as the industrial arts found among this remarkable people, distinguished by Erasmus as possessed of the patientia laboris, an eager and passionate culture.
It keeps the old Admiral from the deck as his keel scrapes the coral-reefs of the South Pacific; and a stale back number, from the bottom of a seaman's chest, is purchased as a prize, by him who cruises among seals, icebergs, and spermaceti whales. "Quis jam locus, inquit, Achate, Quæ regio in terris nostri non plena laboris!" Yes who reads not Maga? And if they whimper, who will sympathise?
I was much struck with Daniel interpreting Nebuchadnezzar's dream by Rembrandt. We were shown a pretty large library. In his Lordship's dressing-room lay Johnson's small Dictionary: he shewed it to me, with some eagerness, saying, 'Look'ye! Quae terra nostri non plena laboris.
