But writers recommend that in private recitation these directions should not be altogether omitted, and they say that the practice of these rubrics of kneeling, bowing, standing, etc., is laudable and an aid to devout recital. What kind of pronunciation is to be attended to in the recitation of the Divine Office?
If an Author be enclin'd to write for Reformation of Manners, let him repair to St. Paul's Church-Yard; if you are desirous to depaint the Cheat and the Trickster, I recommend ye to the Royal-Exchange and the Court End of the Town; and if you would write a Poem in imitation of Rochester, you need only go to the Hundreds of Drury, and you'll be sufficiently furnish'd with laudable Themes.
Nothing but the fact of his considering it perfectly immaterial whether he was with his hounds or not encouraged him in the undertaking. 'Dash them! said he, 'they must just take care of themselves. With which laudable resolution, and an inward anathema at George Cheek, he left off trying the ground and tapping the ice.
"It's a high ambition, isn't it?" "A very laudable ambition," added Uncle John approvingly. "I hope my clever nieces will be able to accomplish it." "How about pictures?" asked Beth. "Modern newspapers are illustrated, and have cartoons of the leading events of the day." "Can't we buy those things somewhere?" asked Patsy, appealing to Uncle John again.

At that rate the number of criminals on his list was legion, and certainly appeared unconscious of the enormity of their offense. It dawned upon him that he, the Great Man, was being "put in his place"; that his highly laudable desire for righteousness was being treated as forward and rather ridiculous posing.
The third class consists of young men, aspirants to University honours and others, with some knowledge of English and a laudable desire to improve it by conversation with Englishmen. I do not know for what purpose this sort of Pundit is useful. Old Ragunath Rao belonged to the first of these three classes. He knew no English, and he desired to know none, neither English words nor English thoughts.
It may have been only coincidence, or it may have been idle curiosity to see if the tipsy lad could find his way home without an accident, or it may have been a laudable determination that, no one should take advantage of his helpless condition to deprive him of that comfortable pocket-book.
