Whether this unhappy temper was originally raised by the follies of some people who got money by it that is to say, by printing predictions and prognostications I know not; but certain it is books frightened them terribly; such as Lilly's Almanack, Gadbury's Allogical Predictions, Poor Robin's Almanack, and the like; also several pretended religious books one entitled Come out of her, my people, lest you be partaker of her plagues; another, called Fair Warning; another, Britain's Remembrancer; and many such, all or most part of which foretold directly or covertly the ruin of the city: nay, some were so enthusiastically bold as to run about the streets with their oral predictions, pretending they were sent to preach to the city; and one in particular, who like Jonah to Nineveh, cried in the streets, "Yet forty days, and London shall be destroyed."
"The painter," says the City Remembrancer, his lips, from long practice, hardly moving. Thomas Sargent, the famous statesman, and Mr. John Hardy, the sculptor, both came to lunch. And all the time the year is creeping on. Another day gone.
As he went he laughed to himself, and pulled out Barndale's pipe remembrancer of his mean triumph, since repaired by his own hands. He filled and lit it, smoking calmly as the sturdy caiquejee pulled him across the Golden Horn. Suddenly the caique fouled with another, and there came a volley of Turkish oaths and objurgations. The Greek looked up, and saw Miss Leland in the other boat.
"The object of treatment will be to allow them to pass through the intestines well enveloped by the other contents of the tube, and for this purpose a solid, farinaceous diet should be ordered, and purgatives scrupulously avoided." Shaw's Medical Remembrancer, by Hutchinson. If a child swallow a pin, what should be done? Treat him as for broken glass.
That nonconformity will remain a goad and remembrancer, and every inquirer will have to dispose of him, in the first place. There is nothing real or useful that is not a seat of war. Our houses ring with laughter and personal and critical gossip, but it helps little.
"That a memorial of me," said he, "should be preserved in this singular remembrancer, I could never have dreamt; if the spiteful painter had a presentiment of my profile, it was too cruel to make this fiery tail just form my nose, though it has a reddish tinge." "The thing," said Erich, "is so singularly introduced, that one really cannot ascertain whether it be design or mere accident."
He loved the Common Law, revelled in its subtleties, expounded with a richness and a grace ever to be remembered the leading statutes by which the wisdom of a thousand years had controlled or modified it, and gloried in it as the living remembrancer of the liberties of his ancestral land. But he regarded the law of admiralty with peculiar and almost hereditary affection.
Sir John had five sons: Peter, the eldest, Dorothy's father, who succeeded him in his hereditary office of Treasurer's Remembrancer; Christopher, Thomas, Richard, and Francis, Francis Osborne may be mentioned as having taken the side of the Parliament in the Civil Wars.
How had she dug these gloomy gems out of Donne, Ford, Webster, and set them here among loose songs and loose epigrams from Wit's Remembrancer and the like? for gems they were, though Dorothea did not know it nor whence they came. Dorothea had small sense of poetry: it was the personal interest which led her on. But why were they, all so darkly terrible? Had she, being young, been afraid to die?
Contrasted with the inconceivable antiquity of this modest fossil, those other things were flippantly modern jejune mere matters of day-before-yesterday. The sense of the oldness of the Cathedral vanished away under the influence of this truly venerable presence. St. Mark's is monumental; it is an imperishable remembrancer of the profound and simple piety of the Middle Ages.
