ADEPTAM: this is probably the only example in Cicero of the passive use of adeptus, which occurs in Sallust, Ovid, Tacitus, etc.; and in this passage the use cannot be looked on as certain, since one of the very best and several of the inferior MSS. read adepti. Thus periclitatus, arbitratus, depastus as passives are found each in only one passage.
'Just like him! to be off gaily to try and overcome or come over the greatest power in England. They were England herself; the squat old woman she has become by reason of her overlapping numbers of the comfortable fund-holder annuitants: a vast body of passives and negatives, living by precept, according to rules of precedent, and supposing themselves to be righteously guided because of their continuing undisturbed.
Colney could not or would not praise our modern adventurous, experimental, heroic, tramping active, as opposed to yonder pursy passives and negatives; he had occasions for flicking the fellow sharply: and to speak of the Lord as our friend present with us, palpable to Reason, perceptible to natural piety solely through the reason, which justifies punishment; that would have stopped his mouth upon the theme of God-forsaken creatures.
And yet, I ask for them no such free grant as you gave the slave-owners; I only ask you to lend, for a time, your credit to your starving Irish brethren. Send £13,000,000 to Portugal, £22,000,000 to Spain, to be sealed up in Spanish Actives, and Spanish Passives, and Spanish Deferred and the funds will fall of course.

The only things actually alleged to be archaisms are the use of deponent participles as passives in §§ 4, 59, 74, a thing common enough in Cicero; the occurrence of quasi = quem ad modum in § 71; of audaciter = audacter in § 72; of tuerentur for intuerentur in § 77; of neutiquam in § 42; of the nominative of the gerundive governing an accusative case in § 6.
I conceive there is a traditional magic not learned immediately from the Devil, but at second hand from his scholars, who, having once the secret betrayed, are able, and do empirically practice without his advice, they both proceeding upon the principles of nature; where actives aptly conjoined to disposed passives will under any master produce their effects.
As we have seen, all were permitted to retain their arms; but the chancellor told Jules Favre he would live to repent having obtained the concession. The friends of order, in spite of the Government's proclamations, could with difficulty be roused to action. There were two parties in Paris, the Passives, and the Actives; and the latter party increased in strength from day to day.
