As the headings show, they cover, or, more correctly speaking, range over, almost the whole field of theological thought, beginning with the personality of Deity as revealed in Nature, the spiritual nature and attributes of Deity, and the incarnation; discussing by the way the general relations of theology to science, man, and his place in Nature; and ending with a discussion of predestination and free-will, and of prayer in relation to invariable law all in a volume of three hundred and twenty-four duodecimo pages!
The unawaited disloyalty into which he had floundered, surprised and annoyed him. He could not account for the delicate infidelity and perplexedly he looked at Jones who still was at it. "The diva I mean. The diva in duodecimo who sang at the Bazaar." Lennox shook himself and sat down again.
Miss Morland has been talking of nothing more dreadful than a new publication which is shortly to come out, in three duodecimo volumes, two hundred and seventy-six pages in each, with a frontispiece to the first, of two tombstones and a lantern do you understand? And you, Miss Morland my stupid sister has mistaken all your clearest expressions.
Prazimene and Polexander are two romances translated from the French, the former, a neat little duodecimo; the latter, a huge folio of more than three hundred and fifty closely-printed pages.

The walls were lined with tall book-shelves, mounting to the lofty ceiling, and groaning under ponderous piles of volumes, from the huge black letter folio of the Middle Ages to the lightest duodecimo of the day; while in all parts of the chamber, on the floor, tables and chairs, and in the deep embrasures of the windows, were scattered huge masses of papers, pamphlets, manuscripts and charts.
If they read that thoroughly, they have time for nothing else. What is its reader to do when his journal thrusts upon him every day the amount contained in a fair-sized duodecimo volume, and on Sundays the amount of two of them? Granted that this miscellaneous hodge-podge is the cream of current literature, is it profitable to the reader?
'Five cents for a duodecimo for a week, and the rest in change. If the woman hasn't brought it back she owes a week's fine. "'Who was the woman? asked the librarian. "'I don't know, said Abner; 'but she has a daughter with plaited hair and a small sister. While I'm in town I'll try to look 'em up.
