And I do not believe, although I find it stated in a ten-volume Science-History of the Universe, that 'language is an internal necessity, begotten of a lustful longing to express, through the plastic vocal energy, man's secret sense of his ability to interpret Nature. An internal necessity, yes except in the case of the Bore Negative, who prefers to listen; but quite as likely begotten of man's anything but secret sense of his ability to interpret himself.
In the preface to the revised ten-volume edition he alludes to the "defects" of his work. "Much material," he wrote, "has accumulated since the early volumes were published, and my own point of view is not quite the same as it was when I started with the first years of James I." The most important contribution to this portion of his period had been Spedding's edition of Bacon's Letters and Life.
She writes novels too; not profound studies of life, but fine and exquisite pictures of that side of the century which appealed most to her poetic sensibility. We follow the leading characters of the age through the ten-volume romances of Mlle. de Scudery, which have mostly long since fallen into oblivion.
She thought he took liberties; and though he meant no harm, he certainly did. Lockhart, i. 270. I quote, as is usual, the second or ten-volume edition. It is pretty universally known, and must have been perceived even from the foregoing summary, that Scott was by no means a very precocious writer.
In order to love a woman, he must have fished her out of the spray of Niagara; or dislocated his shoulder in stopping her carriage on the brink of a precipice; or snatched her out of the hands of picturesque bandits, costumed like Fra Diavolo; he is only fit for the hero of a ten-volume English novel, with a long-tailed coat, tight gray pantaloons and top-boots.
There were reading desks, mechanical devices for holding books, perfect light, quiet as in a church, and no approach but across the huge adjoining room. Yet it did not invite. "I hope you'll be able to work here," said my little hostess the next morning, as she took me in her only visit to it while I stayed in the house and showed me the ten-volume Catalogue.
Two more installments of the history appearing in 1877 and 1881 made up the first edition of what is now our ten-volume history, but in the meantime some of the volumes went out of print. It was not until 1883, the year of the publication of the revised edition, that the value of his labors was generally recognized.
"He must be at work on a ten-volume novel," said the Doctor. "Let's go." And with that they departed. Night came on, and with it darkness, but Harley never moved.
"What I need now is a ten-volume history of the last century, and time enough for you to read it. But since we don't have either " She broke off, then after a pause asked, "Your date was 1981, wasn't it? It and your name were on the tag of your pressure-suit." "That's right." "Well, then. Back in 1981, it was expected that men would spread out to the stars, wasn't it?" Kieran nodded.
Littre's ten-volume edition "OEuvres completes d'Hippocrate," Paris, 1839-1861, is the most important for reference. I can only indicate, in a very brief way, the special features of the Hippocratic writings that have influenced the evolution of the science and art of medicine. The first is undoubtedly the note of humanity.
