Marlborough, preëminently great as he certainly was, nevertheless led the combined forces of England and of Holland, in the freshness of their strength and the fulness of their financial ability, against prostrate France, with a treasury depleted, a people worn out, discouraged, and dejected. But let us turn to another comparison.
There are two things that must be noted, the moral and religious condition of the people; and, again, their economic and political status. The Jewish people had been preeminently a religious people. But a great change had taken place. Religion was at its lowest ebb.
We can not afford to lose that preeminently typical American, the farmer who owns his own medium-sized farm. To have his place taken by either a class of small peasant proprietors, or by a class of great landlords with tenant-farmed estates would be a veritable calamity. The growth of our cities is a good thing but only in so far as it does not mean a growth at the expense of the country farmer.
Two things take one into the inner circle of the ideal-makers of the race imagination and sympathy. Ideals cannot be bought with gold. The ideal is always founded on integrity, progress, and common-sense. It is preëminently practical, as well: the thing that inevitably must be, now or hereafter, however men laugh it to scorn to-day.
The eleventh day of the birdlings' life was exceedingly warm, without a breath of air stirring, suffocating to humanity, but preëminently inspiring to mocking-birds, and every singer within a mile of me, I am sure, was singing madly, excepting the newly made parent.
Amongst the utterances of this man was one command not a new nor perfect one which has seemed to his adorers so preeminently wise that they have given it a name by which it is known over half the world.

Montreal, only second in commercial importance to Quebec, had also its newspapers, and already began to exhibit that energy for which it is now preeminently conspicuous.
For they are this preëminently, not who say, "I am called Christ," but "I am He;" for they seize to themselves the office that belongs to Christ, thrust Him from His throne, and seat themselves thereon. This we see before our eyes, insomuch that no one can deny it. Therefore St.
We know already that nothing of the kind existed in Ireland when the Gospel reached her, and that there the new religion assumed a peculiar aspect, which has never varied, and which made her at once and forever a preeminently Christian nation. Among the Greeks and Romans, literature and art, although accepted by the Church, were nevertheless deeply impregnated with paganism.
In all these points, and in many others also, the English and Spanish works, which are preeminently worthy of this title of Romantic, fully resemble each other, however different they may be in other respects. Of the two we shall first notice the English theatre, because it arrived at maturity earlier than the Spanish.
