"Ah! he says so, but I thought that was all his humility." "Better he should be prepared. If he had had all those advantages but it may be as well after all.
By such slow degrees, concludes the manuscript, do the most useful, and seemingly the most obvious arts, make their way among mankind. Of all the delicacies in the whole mundus edibilis, I will maintain it to be the most delicate princeps obsoniorum.
In games he was facile princeps, seeming to make his effort always in the right way and without exertion, as if by an instinct of physical masterdom.

Harris, late of Covent Garden, who, just because David Garrick had a fine library of old plays, was determined to have one himself at whatever cost.

The offer was accepted, and the two brothers set out for Greece, and thence for Asia.
He is thus styled in the original document: 'Illustris ac potentissimus princeps et dominus. Alençon came of a truly noble line of ancestors, and was descended also from brave warriors. His great-grandfather fell at Crecy, leading the vanguard of the French host. His grandfather was the companion-in-arms of the great Du Guesclin.
Cicero had been Consul, and has had to lead the Senate when Cæsar was probably anxious to escape himself as an undetected conspirator. Cæsar has grown since, but only by degrees. He has not become, as Augustus did, "facile princeps." He is aware of his own power, but aware also that it becomes him to ignore his own knowledge.
