All these sons of the present, who have raised the banner of the 'self-understood, are therefore straining every nerve to crush down these feelings of youth, to cripple them, to mislead them, or to stop their growth altogether; and the favourite means employed is to paralyse that natural philosophic impulse by the so-called "historical culture."
"If they were Jicarillas," continued Carlos, "I should not need to follow their trail. They are not in the direction of the Llano. If they have gone that way, it was to mislead you in the pursuit. I know where they are at this moment in the mountains." "Ha! you think they are in the mountains?" "I am sure of it; and not fifty miles from here.
Luther would have gone to work with less heart, could he have foreseen the Thirty Years' War, and in the distance the theology of Tubingen. The most reasonable anticipations fail us antecedents the most apposite mislead us; because the conditions of human problems never repeat themselves. Some new feature alters everything some element which we detect only in its after-operation.
The whole crime of Moreau was his having numerous partisans among those who still clung to the phantom of the Republic, and that crime was unpardonable in the eyes of the First Consul, who for two years had ruled the destinies of France as sovereign master.

Unquestionably the Mexican colonel had here divided his troop, the main body proceeding due west, the detachment striking up stream. The route taken by this last would be the old Spanish road for Santa Fe, the first party proceeding on to Albuquerque. For a time the pursuing Texans are at fault, as foxhounds by a fence, over which Reynard has doubled back to mislead them.
Two persons, very capable to impart understanding, had the gift been communicable, undertook at the same time to rob her of the little she really possessed: these were Lord Rochester and Miss Hobart: the first began to mislead her by reading to her all his compositions, as if she alone had been a proper judge of them.
But the unsparing condemnation passed by Bunyan, after his conversion, on his former self, must not mislead us into supposing him ever, either as boy or man, to have lived a vicious life. "The wickedness of the tinker," writes Southey, "has been greatly overrated, and it is taking the language of self-accusation too literally to pronounce of John Bunyan that he was at any time depraved."
The girl's lips were stiff with dread anticipation and dislike. Dale's manner did not mislead her; his forced geniality, his gruff heartiness, his huge smile, were all insincere, masking evil. He seemed to her like a big, tawny, grinning beast, and her heart thumped with trepidation as she looked at him. "How's Nyland?" he asked, smiling hugely. "That was a narrow squeak now, wasn't it?
Besides, I had the written orders of the physician in my hand, which may have tended to mislead them; and it was well known to some of the nuns, that I had twice left the Convent and returned from choice; so that I was probably more likely to be trusted to remain than many of the others.
It is the fashion in this country, and a very bad fashion, when we find a remarkable portrait with no name authoritatively attached to it, to christen it at random after some eminent man, and there it remains to perplex or mislead.
