The only practicable means of dealing with this mass of criticism is to adopt the inductive method, and to seek to draw out from the utterances of these many voices the four or five distinct concepts that severally lie behind them. In limine however, let this be said, that the broadest generalization of all is one to which the very discordance of the critics bears the best possible witness.

The patrol fired his carabine upon the body, and the report was instantly followed by the clang of his horse's feet as he galloped off. 'Hylax in limine latrat, said the Baron of Bradwardine, who heard the shot;'that loon will give the alarm. The clan of Fergus had now gained the firm plain, which had lately borne a large crop of corn.

Mr Mill analyzes the case, and declares in the negative. 'To be conscious of Free-will, must mean to be conscious, before I have decided, that I am able to decide either way; exception may be taken in limine to the use of the word consciousness in such an application. Consciousness tells me what I do or feel. But what I am able to do, is not a subject of consciousness.

As the word idea will frequently occur, and will be found also to hold an important relation to our present subject, we shall endeavour, in limine, to possess our readers of the particular sense in which we understand and apply it.

If not firmly protested against, and resisted in limine, you will have an award which England will repudiate with indignation; and war, the fear of which has made us submit to these indignities, will be sure to follow. The relative attitudes of England and the United States in 1896 and 1897 have not materially differed from those of 1872.

Democritus and Heraclitus were two philosophers, of whom the first, finding human condition ridiculous and vain, never appeared abroad but with a jeering and laughing countenance; whereas Heraclitus commiserating that same condition of ours, appeared always with a sorrowful look, and tears in his eyes: "Alter Ridebat, quoties a limine moverat unum Protuleratque pedem; flebat contrarius alter."

"That can be only because you think me stupid," she retorted, smiling. "No! But I thought you'd be stopped in limine on the threshold, you know." "I see the threshold; and, yes, I don't like it. But tell me about the house too." "I've not seen it all," smiled the Dean. "Well, to drop our metaphor, I think Mr. Quisanté has a wonderfully acute intellect." "Oh, yes, yes."

The patrol fired his carabine upon the body, and the report was instantly followed by the clang of his horse's feet as he galloped off. 'HYLAX IN LIMINE LATRAT, said the Baron of Bradwardine, who heard the shot; 'that loon will give the alarm. The clan of Fergus had now gained the firm plain, which had lately borne a large crop of corn.

Rather more than a century and a half ago it was a scientific maxim, disputed by no one, and which no one deemed to require any proof, that “a thing can not act where it is not.” With this weapon the Cartesians waged a formidable war against the theory of gravitation, which, according to them, involving so obvious an absurdity, must be rejected in limine: the sun could not possibly act upon the earth, not being there.

An element friendly to us in the Spanish government would have been an advantage which in the course of German policy there appeared no reason to reject a limine, unless the apprehension that France might be dissatisfied was to be allowed to rank as one.
