It is no reproach, therefore, to the Clazomenaean philosopher that he should have held to the old idea that the earth is flat, or at most a convex disk the latter being the Babylonian conception which probably dominated that Milesian school to which Anaxagoras harked back.
He talked with the Milesian for quite two hours, when the time for the relief of the helm came. Just before the four bells struck, the fog disappeared as suddenly as it had dropped down on the sea. Louis went aft and gazed into the distance; but he could see no triangle of lights, or even a single light in any direction.
The Saxons had now been for four centuries in Britain, the older inhabitants of which Celts like the Gauls and Irish they had cruelly harassed, just as the Milesian Irish oppressed their Belgic predecessors, and as the Normans, in turn, will be found oppressing both Celt and Saxon in England and Ireland.
Though mainly descended from Scotch ancestors who came originally from both lowlands and highlands, from among both the Scotch Saxons and the Scotch Celts, many of them were of English, a few of French Huguenot, and quite a number of true old Milesian Irish extraction.
The Reverend Mr. Fairweather rose and went towards it. As he passed the table, his coat caught something, which came rattling to the floor. It was a crucifix with a string of beads attached. As he opened the door, the Milesian features of Father McShane presented themselves, and from their centre proceeded the clerical benediction in Irish-sounding Latin, Pax vobiscum!

But it was only a wholesale hatching of huge hawk-moths that came whizzing around Lang when he turned on the electric lights; and which, escaping, swarmed throughout the house, filling it with their loud, feathery humming, and the shrieks of Milesian domestics.
Now, while we could believe anything sombre and stern of one sporting that deep, nasal and majestic appellative, we find it impossible to associate thoughts of unearthly gloom with the airy Milesian cognomen of Pat Prunty, even though weighted with the solemn prefix of "Reverend."
We divert ourselves with them, as we do with the stories of The Ass, The Tub, and The Ephesian Matron, or any other Milesian fable." And, taking his guest by the arm, he led him into a room where thousands of papyri were rolled up and lay in baskets. "This is my library," he said. "It contains a small part of the various systems which the philosophers have constructed to explain the world.
