Who shall be my multum in parvo? Only one name could reasonably suggest itself your own; which stands for the perfection of every excellence, the glass of culture and the mould of wit. To submit my works to you, to win your approbation if such a thing might be! were to reach the goal of my desire; for your suffrage carries the rest with it.
We are now, it must be remembered, in the time of Louis XV, the time of beautiful gaiety and light sarcasm, of epigramme, and miniature, and of all that declared itself multum in parvo. Therefore it was that even wall-hangings were reduced in size and polished, so to speak, to a perfection most admirable.
Bacon would never have been the great leader of scientific thought had not his trial and disgrace forced him from the company of a grand retinue and stupid court to the solitude of his own brain. "Multum insola fuit anima mea." Loneliness of spirit made him. Get a little of it for yourself. Drop your club, your street corner, your gossipy boarding-house table.
'Clarum et venerabile nomen Gentibus, et multum nostrae quod proderat urbi."
Sudet multum. He will be like the man, who first in a frail bark committed himself to the treachery of the waves. He will keep near to the shore; he will tremble for the audaciousness of his enterprise; he will feel that it calls for all his alertness and vigilance.
He had a good deal to say, too, about the Royal College of Surgeons in Edinburgh, and the famous preparations, mercurial and the rest, which I remember well having seen there, the "sudabit multum." and others, also of our New York Professor Carnochan's handiwork, a specimen of which I once admired at the New York College.
Sponge thought of letting Tom Washball enjoy the honours of his faux-pas, and of sneaking quietly home as soon as the hounds hit off the scent; but unluckily, just as they were crossing the lane, what should heave in sight, cantering along at his leisure, but the redoubtable Multum in Parvo, who, having got rid of old Leather by bumping and thumping his leg against a gate-post, was enjoying a line of his own.
It is a reflexive pronoun, the objective gen. after conditoris==the founder of themselves, i.e. of their state, cf. odium sui, 33. Experimento. Abl. on trial, not for; i.e. in consequence of being found faithful. In reference to the Ubii, cf. His. 4, 28. XXIX. Virtute sc. bellica. Non multum ex ripa. A small tract on the bank, but chiefly an island in the river. Cf.
Multum lusimus in meis tabellis, Ut convenerat esse delicatos, Scribens versiculos uterque nostrum. Thus the lighter pieces of Catullus, like the dedication of his book, are addressed to men, his friends, and thus they scarcely come into the category of what we call "Society Verses."
The State, in the condition I have described it, was delivered into the hands of Lord Chatham a great and celebrated name; a name that keeps the name of this country respectable in every other on the globe. It may be truly called Clarum et venerabile nomen Gentibus, et multum nostrae quod proderat urbi.
