This is the matter as far as I can make it out. Charles VI., Emperor of Germany, died in October, 1740. It had been arranged by a sort of general agreement called the Pragmatic Sanction " "What an extraordinary name, Malcolm! What does it mean?" "I have not the least idea in the world, lad. However, that is what it is called.
Shadow-Hunt is now gone all to Pragmatic Sanction, as it were: that now is the one thing left in Nature for a Kaiser; and that he will love, and chase, as the summary of all things.
If he would develop a power of suffering fools gladly, he must begin by suffering them without the gladness. Professor Proser, ex-straightener, certificated bore, pragmatic or coruscating, with or without anecdotes, attends pupils at their own houses. Terms moderate. "Mrs.
In this austere court, never seeing a smile on her father's face, she grew up, "the prettiest little maiden in the world," to a radiant woman, heir-expectant to the throne by virtue of the Pragmatic Sanction, an order of state by means of which the Emperor Charles VI. had undertaken to settle the Austrian succession.
You would have said, the first question he asks of every creature is, "Will you covenant for my Pragmatic Sanction with me? Oh, agree to it; accept that new Law of Nature: when the morrow comes, it will be salutary for you!" Most of the Foreign Potentates idly accepted the thing, as things of a distant contingent kind are accepted; made Treaty on it, since the Kaiser seemed so extremely anxious.
To "caress the pride of Spain;" to keep alive the hopes, in that quarter, of marrying their Don Carlos, the supplementary Infant, to our eldest Archduchess; which indeed has set the Sea-Powers dreadfully on fire, but which does leave Parma and Piacenza quiet for the present, and makes the Pragmatic Sanction too an affair of Spain's own: this is one resource, though a poor one, and a dangerous.
And Belleisle and France having gone into an Anti-Pragmatic War, the unlucky George and his England were dragged into a Pragmatic one, quitting their own business, on the Spanish Main, and hurrying to Germany, in terror as at Doomsday, and zeal to save the Keystone of Nature these.
It is putting off our proud maturity of mind and becoming again as foolish little children in the eyes of reason. It may be remarked here that, although James hailed Bergson as an ally, Bergson cannot be classed as a pragmatist. His great assertion is that just because intellect is pragmatic it does not help us to get a vision of reality. Bergson's style of writing merits high praise.
Justinian's conduct was dishonouring to the Church, and he used force to get the decrees of the Council accepted. Only by degrees the council held by Eutychius obtained the name of the Fifth General Council. In August, 554, the Pope was again on good terms with the emperor, who issued at his request the Pragmatic Sanction for Italy.
Gordon the chauffeur, a pragmatic young man from the Clyde, in this levelling hour was sitting on the edge of the table with a glass of beer in his hand.
