Out of scores of such Presbyterian manifestoes, let us select one, interesting to us for certain reasons apart. Of all the Divines in London, not members of the Assembly, none had come to be better known for his Presbyterian acrimony than the veteran Mr. Thomas Edwards, of whose maiden pamphlet of 1641, called Reasons against the Independent Government, with Mrs.
Job Grinnell suddenly dropped the perforated gourd, and started down toward the fence. The acrimony of the old feud was as a trait bred in the bone.
But what I remember even more clearly than Palmers ton is appearance or manner perhaps because it did not end with his death is the estimation in which he was held by that "Sacred Circle of the Great-Grandmotherhood" to which I myself belong. In the first place, it was always asserted, with emphasis and even with acrimony, that he was not a Whig.
It is, indeed, not so frequently to make us good as to make us wise, that our friends employ the officiousness of counsel; and among the rejectors of advice, who are mentioned by the grave and sententious with so much acrimony, you will not so often find the vicious and abandoned, as the pert and the petulant, the vivacious and the giddy.
Here Boris bent forward and began to speak with his slightly singing Slavic accent and his trilled r: "You are quite right, Professor, but it need not always be love, it can also be hate. To us Poles hate is sacred too." The count lifted his eyebrows and bent over his plate.

Too much acrimony in the bile of a fanatic blood too much inflamed in the heart of a conqueror a painful indigestion in the stomach of a monarch a whim that passes in the mind of a woman are sometimes causes sufficient to bring on war to send millions of men to the slaughter to root out an entire people to overthrow walls to reduce cities into ashes to plunge nations into slavery to put a whole people into mourning to breed famine in a land to engender pestilence to propagate calamity to extend misery to spread desolation far and wide upon the surface of our globe, through a long series of ages.
But, since from too true a voice his heart combated the intoxication of his head, there was more of acrimony than of humor in his jests. His disposition began to alter, and caprice to exhibit itself. The most beautiful ornament of his character, his modesty, vanished; parasites had poisoned his excellent heart.
A day being appointed to take it into consideration, a warm debate was maintained with equal eloquence and acrimony. At length the question being put that an address should be made for a more explicit answer, it passed in the negative by a great majority.
"Never mind, Gustavus, never mind," replied Mr. Ferdinand with some acrimony. Being of a dignified nature he did not care to explain to a subordinate that there was a very pleasant-looking second-cook just arrived at the house of the Lord Chancellor on the opposite side of the square.
