By which proceeding the commons considered that their liberty was betrayed by the patricians, because the senate had obeyed those persons, as if they had a right to compel them, who had already gone out of office; and were but private individuals, were it not for the violence employed by them. The adjective imminutis also refers evidently to honoris insignibus. See Cicero de Orat. iii. 1.
And he proceeded to read out the report of the degree conferred honoris causâ upon the distinguished young Irishman, Mr. Nicholas O'Beirne, whose recent contributions to the study of the higher mathematics had roused so much interest in scientific circles. "Ay, true for you, Dan," said Mary; "you don't hear them callin' Dr. Carson an Honory-causy."
Cf. note, 6: inania honoris. Praeter. Beyond. Hence either besides or except. Here the latter. Fecundum. More than patiens, fruitful even. Proveniunt. Ang. come forward. Fert aurum, etc. This is also affirmed by Strabo, 4, 5, 2, but denied by Cic. ad Att., 4, 16, 7, and ad Div., 7, 7.
Such a man is dangerous; he decoys you into confidences. Even Satan cannot respect a sinner of this complexion, a sinner who is only fascinated by the sinfulness of sin.

AEsopo ingentem statuam posuere Attici, Servumque collocarunt oeterna in basi, Patere honoris scirent ut cunctis viam. PHAED. Epilog. 1. 2. The Athenians erected a large statue to AEsop, and placed him, though a slave, on a lasting pedestal; to show, that the way to honour lies open indifferently to all.
This may be done, saith he, by word alone, without any other ceremony, in such sort that the fact should hold, and the ordination thus given should be valid enough. When a man is elected by the suffrages of the church, then his ordination is quasi solennis missio in possessionem honoris illius, ex decreto, saith Junius.
The newspaper was marked with large blue chalk crosses at a paragraph which related how the degree of D.Sc. had been conferred. Honoris Causâ upon Mr. Nicholas O'Beirne by the University of Sarabraxville. And in the parcel, more astonishing still, was a brown-covered book, lettered on the back: A Treatise on Conic Sections, by Nicholas O'Beirne.
