Hobbes, the Professor tells us, maintained this long ago, when he said that all our thinking consists of addition and subtraction that is to say, in bringing ideas together, and in detaching them from one another. Turning from thought to language, we observe that the word is derived from the French langue, or tongue. Strictly, therefore, it means tonguage.
I trust, Sir Louis, that when you give an account of the fighting you will specially mention that this, the youngest knight of the Order, bore himself as stoutly as any of them. I say this, Sir John, because, not being of your langue, I can speak more warmly than you can do of his skill and bravery."
I have known good, ill, and merely middling among them, the cunning and the simple, the learned and the utterly ignorant, and by the Holy Iron! honesty and faith are the best virtues in the lot of them. They all like flattery, I know " "A dead man and a stupid woman are the only ones who do not. Jamais beau parler riecorcha le langue!" said Montaiglon.
We can also see the beginnings of that strife of races which ultimately led to bloodshed and the suspension of the constitution given to Lower Canada in 1791. In 1806 Le Canadien, published in the special interest of "Nos institutions, notre langue, et nos lois," commenced that career of bitter hostility to the government which steadily inflamed the antagonism between the races.
Hanging from the collar is usually the cross of the Brandenburg Langue of the Order of St. John of Jerusalem, while on the breast is fastened a sort of star, consisting of the letter "W" encircled by gold laurel leaves, which has been accorded to all the officers who formed part of the household of Old Emperor William.
Not only have the langues the charge of defending each its portion of the wall, but of keeping it in order at all times; and I may say that nowhere is the wall better kept or more fairly decorated with carvings than where England holds." "You have not told me who defends the palace itself." "That is in charge of a force composed of equal numbers of picked knights from each langue."
It is only by the most rigid impartiality, and by dividing as fairly as possible all offices between the eight langues, that all continue to give me their support. As you know, we have had great difficulties and heartburnings here; but happily they have to a great extent been set at rest by forming a new langue of Castile and Portugal out of that of Aragon.
I know her very well; she has two fine daughters I mean when dey have seen more of de world. It's a great pity, too, dey have never had de advantage of a native, to teach de good pronunciation de la langue Francaise. Madame Temple will repent herself of dat when it is too late, as I tell her always. But, sir, you have been at her house.
Lectures on the Provençal, the Langue d'Oïl, the Old-German, the Cyrillic, are not uncommon, though but poorly attended. The study of the modern languages themselves must be pursued with private teachers. A knowledge of these, as well as a thorough preparatory training in Latin and Greek, is presupposed. Modern History, on the contrary, has of late years become an important branch of study.
I hardly think nursing would suit them very well." I did not immediately answer, and Sylvia's quick mind divined the reason of my reluctance. "Let us talk en français," she said; "that will not disturb this good man, and he can go to sleep if he likes." "Très bien," I said, "parlons nous en français." "Il serait charmant," said she; "j'aime la belle langue."
