Somebody seems to have attacked him and his Characters. A second edition, in 1631, was entitled "New Essays and Characters, with a new Satyre in defence of the Common Law, and Lawyers: mixt with Reproofe against their enemy Ignoramus." Is the next of our Character writers. His "Microcosmography, or a Piece of the World discovered, in Essays and Characters" was first printed in 1628.
He was very reluctant to undertake it, but at last yielded, and, after elaborate preparation, made an argument loud and long, to show that General Harrison was a military ignoramus. The result was both comic and pathetic.
* "The Greek wants an ablative, the Italians a dative, I a nominative." "Famous capital!" cried the gentleman in spectacles; and then, touching Colonel Cleland, added, "what does it exactly mean?" "Ignoramus!" said Cleland, disdainfully, "every schoolboy knows Virgil!"
"I trust, sir, that my name will have other and more personal claims upon posterity," said Challenger, severely. "Any ignoramus can hand down his worthless memory by imposing it upon a mountain or a river. I need no such monument." Summerlee, with a twisted smile, was about to make some fresh assault when Lord John hastened to intervene. "It's up to you, young fellah, to name the lake," said he.
At the same time, I could not help thinking that he was better situated than myself at the time. I had been ill, and was now earning only twelve cents an hour for ten hours' work, and the sight of the foreman for whom I was working was a torture to my soul.

"No, a stretcher!" "What a horrible pun," mourned Amy. "Say, suppose we drop in on Jack Innes?" "Suppose we do," replied Clint cheerfully. "Who is he?" "Football captain, you ignoramus. Maybe if you don't act fresh and he takes a liking to you he will resign and let you be captain." "Won't it look well, sort of funny?" asked Clint doubtfully as they passed along the Bow. "What? You being captain?"
"To-night I have a matter of supreme importance to impart," she read, "make every effort to join me. The evening may prove as eventful to you as to me, so do not disappoint me, Mignonne." "Mignonne!" Her lips curled. "Idiot! Imbecile! Ignoramus!" Savagely "Donkey!"
* "The Greek wants an ablative, the Italians a dative, I a nominative." "Famous capital!" cried the gentleman in spectacles; and then, touching Colonel Cleland, added, "what does it exactly mean?" "Ignoramus!" said Cleland, disdainfully, "every /schoolboy knows Virgil/!"
'But, said he, 'you surprise me by what you say of this Prince Otto. I have heard him, I must own, more favourably painted. I was told he was, in his heart, a good fellow, and the enemy of no one but himself. 'And so he is, sir, said the girl, 'a very handsome, pleasant prince; and we know some who would shed their blood for him. 'O! Kuno! said Fritz. 'An ignoramus!
