Mellicent, however, had retained her comfortable obtuseness, and rose to the bait with innocent alacrity. "Well, I don't know if you call it scholarly to think of nothing in the world but beetles, and grubby little plants that no one ever heard of before; but I call it idiotic.
These men are retiring in their habits; and one cannot but revere their scholarly and almost ascetic spirit that survives like a green oasis amid the desert of "politics," roguery and municipal corruption. The City Fathers of Venosa are reputed rich beyond the dreams of avarice.
Eisler has purged of interpolations this work by a painstaking and scholarly investigation.
He was later president of the Toledo, Peoria and Western Railroad, stationed at Peoria, and I have always believed him to be one of the best railroad presidents in the State.

The central articles of the historic creeds practically disappear under Mrs. Eddy's treatment. Here, then, is a philosophy which will not bear examination, a use of Scripture which can possibly have no standing in any scholarly fellowship, and a theology which empties the central Christian doctrines of the great meanings which have heretofore been associated with them.
THE CABOTS. Cabot literature is full of conjecture and controversy. G.P. Winship's Cabot Bibliography is a good guide to all but recent works.
