But Spinkie did not seem to perceive the necessity, for he clung closer to his master with a remonstrative, croak. "Get down, Spinkie," said the hermit firmly, "and watch the canoe." The poor beast had apparently learned that Medo-persic law was not more unchangeable than Van der Kemp's commands!
The granting of this postulate will put me on quite easy terms with regard to the very positive objection entertained by me towards a certain Mr. Desole Arcubus, who, by provision of an immutable Medo-Persic edict promulgated by Mrs. Silvernail, occupied the chair next mine at the first-rate table of that rigid expounder of boarding-house law. Mr.
So also is there no Medo-Persic law compelling the cultivation of our lands by farmers' sons. An infusion of fresh blood is sometimes the best remedy for longstanding disease and weakness, especially in social organizations. The end desired is not the education of any special existing class, but the establishment of a class fit to receive in trust special existing interests.
It appears then that, compared with the phonetic systems in vogue among their neighbors, the alphabet of the Medes and Persians was marked by a great simplicity. The forms of the letters were also very much simplified. Instead of conglomerations of fifteen or sixteen wedges in a single character, we have in the Medo-Persic letters a maximum of five wedges.
In Cappadocia, the Moschi and Tibareni had to yield their seats to a new race the Katapatuka, who were not only Arian but distinctly Medo-Persic, as is plain from their proper names, and from the close connection of their royal house with that of the kings of Persia.
Possibly the view is correct which recognizes two nearly-allied dialects as existing side by side in Iran during its flourishing period one prevailing towards the west, the other towards the east one Medo-Persic, the other Sogdo-Bactrian the former represented to us by the cuneiform inscriptions, the latter by the Zend texts.
The only difficulty in the way of this theory was the supposed Medo-Persic or Arian character of a certain number of Assyrian royal names; but this difficulty was thought to be sufficiently met by a suggestion that the ruling tribe might have been of Median descent, and have maintained its own national appellatives, while the mass of the population belonged to a different race.
"Never!" cried Bladud, with that Medo-Persic decision of tone and manner, which implies highly probable and early surrender, "never! until I find the boy dead or alive." "For," continued the Hebrew, slowly, "he has important matters to consider with you matters that will not brook delay.
This alphabet, which in respect of complexity holds an intermediate position between the luxuriance of the Assyrian and the simplicity of the Medo-Persic system, would seem in all probability to have intervened in order of time between the two. It consists of no more than about a hundred characters, and these are for the most part far less complicated than those of Assyria.
