Thus had La Mettrie found a Goshen; and stood in considerable favor, at Court and in Berlin Society in the years now current. According to Nicolai, Friedrich never esteemed La Mettrie, which is easy to believe, but found him a jester and ingenious madcap, out of whom a great deal of merriment could be had, over wine or the like.
In earlier times, any thought of union or federation between the various states of Europe remained utopian, were it only on account of the difficulty and slowness of communications. As Nicolai says, a state cannot extend to infinite proportions; it must be able to act promptly upon the different parts of its organism.
As we all know, this author has endeavoured to claim as German everyone of outstanding importance in the history of the world, Christ and Dante not excepted. Nicolai replies to these extravagances with the following definite assertions: 1. Proof is lacking that a pure race is better than a mixed race.
At the table, by the side of Nicolai Yegorovitch sat a well-built young man, not Russian in type, with bronzed features and keen bright eyes. He rose in simple, friendly fashion to meet Yourii. "Introduce me." "Anatole Pavlovitch Riasantzeff!" cried Lialia, with a gesture of comic solemnity. "Who craves your friendship and indulgence," added Riasantzeff, joking in his turn.
He had no right to call himself de Cyrano de Bury or Lord of Candeville. His wife's name was Nicolais, not Nicolai a very important difference from the genealogical point of view. The Duplessis inheritance, though certainly existent, would seem to have had little more chance of realisation than the mythical Crawford millions of Madame Humbert.
"I do not want to know if it were Nicolai Ardalionovitch! The urchin!" "Nicolai Ardalionovitch..." "The urchin, I tell you!" "No, it was not the urchin: it was Nicolai Ardalionovitch," said the prince very firmly, but without raising his voice. "Well, all right! All right, my dear! I shall put that down to your account." She was silent a moment to get breath, and to recover her composure.
In 1819 Sydney Smith violated his own canon, thus: "But, after all, I believe we shall all go "ad veteris Nicolai tristia regna, Pitt ubi combustum Dundasque videbimus omnes." He became M.A. in 1796. It is curious that the date and place of Sydney Smith's ordination as Deacon cannot be traced.
Nay more; I believe that the European soul, unaided, impoverished and scorched by centuries of spendthrift existence, would be likely to flicker and even to go out, unless regenerated by an influx of the thought of other races. But to each day its own task. Nicolai, at once thinker and man of action, turns to the most immediate duty.
A couple of weeks later, when the correspondents were back in Berlin, Major Nicolai, of the War Press Bureau, sent for the correspondent, said to him that he knew of the occasion on which the American journalist had "left the party" in Lille, and demanded to know what had occurred in the watchmaker's shop. The correspondent repeated precisely what the Frenchman had said.
Dide thinks that such aggressive warfare as is practiced by the Germans always goes with a pessimistic disposition. Thayer connects bloodthirstiness with the paganism of Germany, and says that bloodthirstiness crops out again and again in German history. Nicolai also refers to the craving for blood in the German character, and says that it has been shown throughout the history of the Germans.
