Thrale are the original of that work of which the Journey to the Hebrides is the translation; and it is amusing to compare the two versions. Macaulay thereupon quotes these two passages. See ante, under Aug. 29, 1783. 'We had a lemon and a piece of bread, which supplied me with my supper.'Piozzi Letters, i, 136.
Science and Health, edition 1899, page 33: "The decisions, by vote of Church Councils, as to what should and should not be considered Holy Writ, the manifest mistakes in the ancient versions: the thirty thousand different readings in the Old Testament and the three hundred thousand in the New these facts show how a mortal and material sense stole into the divine record, darkening, to some extent, the inspired pages with its own hue."

As the evening wore on some ladies of greater fashion found their way to the dancing-floor, and toward ten o'clock it became rather crowded. A party of American girls showed their Paris dresses in the transatlantic versions of the waltz.
As long as there was no way of establishing common versions of unseen events, common measures for separate actions, the only image of democracy that would work, even in theory, was one based on an isolated community of people whose political faculties were limited, according to Aristotle's famous maxim, by the range of their vision.
