Tomes so absorbed in construing a sentence in a book that nobody ever reads, that ladies must give place to lexicons?" "Enter, of course," cried Grey, "and save me from annihilation by Tomes's next reply, and both of us from our joint stupidity." And so Mrs. Grey entered, and there were salutations, and presentation of Mr.
Whenever his lectures called him away from home, the professor took down his grammars, lexicons, and other folios before he started, and gave Michal as much to learn by heart as would occupy her the whole time he was away at the Lyceum; then he locked the house door and walked off with the key in his pocket.
He could not afford to send Peter to read with any tutor, but he could read with him himself; and Miss Matty told me much of the awful preparations in the way of dictionaries and lexicons that were made in her father's study the morning Peter began. "My poor mother!" said she. "I remember how she used to stand in the hall, just near enough the study-door, to catch the tone of my father's voice.
How their faces shone and gladdened as they chased the bounding football!

"The number of lexicons and dictionaries is large, and among the latter may be found all the rare old English works so valuable for reference.
Homer's Iliad and Virgil's Æneid are generally regarded as great masterpieces of literature. They are full of poetic feeling, imagination, charm and inspiring sentiments. They are still being read by thousands of boys and girls, every year, but they are being read to the accompaniment of grammars, lexicons, and the commentary of learned professors, upon roots, derivatives and obsolete usages.

To take presbytery to signify the order of priesthood, is against all lexicons, and the nature of the Greek termination. 3.
