The huge reptilian creatures of Mesozoic time the various dinosaurs had ridiculously small heads and brains, but they had what might be called supplementary brains well toward the other end of the body, great nervous masses near the sacrum, many times the size of the ostensible brain, which no doubt performed certain brain functions.
The modern dignity of honorary canon was created in order that all other cathedrals might have a body of clergy corresponding to the prebendaries of the ancient cathedrals. He is called, in Bishop Stubbs' "Registrum Sacrum Anglicanum," Herve le Breton. Quoted by Bentham, p. 187. Of Peterborough, in his "Musæ Subsecivæ." Bentham, p. 213. Ltd.
For instance, in comparing the sexes we find that in a woman the lumbar curve is more marked and extends slightly higher than in a man, and that the broad sacrum characteristic of the human race is even wider, being thus adapted to the broader hips and wider pelvic cavity of the child- bearing sex.
He incrusted it with exquisite bas-reliefs in marble, the triumphs of the earliest Renaissance style, carved his own name and ensigns upon every scroll and frieze and point of vantage in the building, and dedicated a shrine there to his concubine Divæ Isottæ Sacrum. So much of him belongs to the Neo-Pagan of the fifteenth century.
The joints of the lower extremity are especially apt to suffer; the child is seriously ill, is delirious at night, develops bed-sores over the sacrum and, it may happen that, not being expected to recover, the legs are allowed to assume contracture deformities with ankylosis or dislocation at the hip and flexion ankylosis at the knees; should the child survive, the degree of crippling may be pitiable in the extreme; prolonged orthopædic treatment and a series of operations arthroplasty, osteotomies, and resections may be required to restore even a limited capacity of locomotion.
Hence the ius sacrum, the body of rights and duties in the matter of religion, is regarded as a department of the ius publicum, the fundamental constitution of the state, and it is significant, as Marquardt has observed, that it was Numa, a king and lawgiver, and not a prophet or a poet, who was looked upon as the founder of the Roman religion.
For example, the sacrum is in early life made up of five distinct bones which later unite into one. The upper cavity, or chest, is a bony enclosure formed by the breastbone, the ribs, and the spine. The bones of the trunk may be subdivided into those of the spine, the ribs, and the hips. The trunk includes 54 bones usually thus arranged: 37. The Spinal Column.
The dictator appeared before the people and publicly vowed to the gods a ver sacrum, that is, all the young which the next spring should produce, from the goats, the sheep, and the kine on every mountain, and plain, and river, and pasture within the bounds of Italy.
Its shape is somewhat round and not unlike a gourd, growing smaller and more acute towards one end, being knit together by its own ligaments; its neck likewise is joined by its own substance and by certain membranes that fasten into the os sacrum and the share-bone.
As in the ius sacrum his legal mind leads him to assume that the deities accept the responsibility of the contract, when his own part is fulfilled, so here, like a practical man of business, he assumes their construction of a code of communication, which he has learned to interpret.
