By JOHN BARTLETT. " I have gathered a posie of other men's flowers, and nothing but the thread that binds them is mine own." — Montaigne. SEVENTH EDITION. BOSTON: LITTLE, BROWN, AND COMPANY. 1879. Entered according to act of Congress, in the year 1875, Dv JOHN BARTLET T, ] n the Office of the Librarian of Congress, at Washington. University Pkess : John Wilson & Son. Cambridge. TO REZIN A. WIGHT, Esq, SEVENTH EDITION. In this edition of " Familiar Quotations/' many authors are cited who have not been represented in any former edition, and numer- ous phrases added which have been gathered by patient gleanings from the old fields. To the quotations from Shakespeare more than three hundred lines have been added ; and those from Emerson, Gibbon, Johnson, Lamb, Lowell, Macaulay, Montgomery, Pope, and other authors, have been largely increased in number. The notes and appendix contain much new matter, and the index has been carefully re- vised as well as enlarged. Cambridge, June, 1875. SIXTH EDITION. The fourth edition of " Familiar Quotations " was published in 1863. The present edition embodies the results of the later researches of its editors, besides the contributions of various friends, and includes many quotations which have long been waiting a favorable verdict on the all-important question of familiarity. A few changes have been made in the arrangement, and the citations from Shakespeare have been adapted to the principal modern editions. The former edition has been freshly com- pared with the originals, and such errors re- moved as the revision has disclosed. The editorial labors have been shared with Rezin A. Wight, Esq., of New York, who has been a generous contributor to the former editions. The editor takes pleasure in acknowledging his renewed obligations to Prof. Henry W. Vlll Haynes, of Burlington ; D. W. Wilder, Esq., of Leavenworth ; Justin Winsor, Esq., and James J. Storrow, Esq., of Boston, and to many other friends. Cambridge, June, 1868. ADVERTISEMENT TO THE FOURTH EDITION. The favor shown to former editions has en- couraged the compiler of this Collection to go on with the work and make it more worthy. It is not easy to determine in all cases the degree of familiarity that may belong to phrases and sentences which present themselves for ad- mission i for what is familiar to one class of readers may be quite new to another. Many maxims of the most famous writers of our language, and numberless curious and happy turns from orators and poets, have knocked at the door, and it was hard to deny them. Bat to admit these simply on their own merits, without assurance that the general reader would readily recognize them as old friends, was aside from the purpose of this Collection. x A di 'crtiscm cut. Still, it has been thought better to incur the risk of erring on the side of fulness. Owing to the great number of Quotations added in this edition, it has been necessary to make an entire reconstruction of the book. It is hoped the lovers of this agreeable sub- sidiary literature may find an increased useful- ness in the Collection corresponding with its present enlargement. Cambridge, December, 1863.

Act\. Sc. 1. Brief as the lightning in the collied night, That, in a spleen, unfolds both heaven and earth, And ere a man hath power to say, " Behold ! " The jaws of darkness do devour it up. Ibid.

I am Sir Oracle, And, when I ope my lips, let no dog bark ! Ibid. Gratiano speaks an infinite deal of nothing, more than any man in all Venice.

And the vile squeaking of the wry-neck'd fife, Act ii. Sc. 5. All things that are, . Are with more spirit chased than enjoy'd. How like a younker, or a prodigal, The scarfed bark puts from her native bay, Hugg'd and embraced by the strumpet wind ! How like the prodigal doth she return, With over-weather 'd ribs, and ragged sails, Lean, rent, and beggar'd by the strumpet wind ! Act ii. Sc. 6.

The quality of mercy is not strain'd ; It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven Upon the place beneath : it is twice bless'd ; It blesseth him that gives, and him that takes : 1 Incidis in Scyllam cupiens vitare Charybdim. Phi- lippe Gualtier (about the 13th century), Alexandreis^ Book v. Line 301. SJiakespea? e. 43 The Merchant of Venice continued.] 'T is mightiest in the mightiest : it becomes The throned monarch better than his crown : His sceptre shows the force of temporal power, The attribute to awe and majesty, Wherein doth sit the dread and fear of kings ; But mercy is above this sceptred sway ; It is enthroned in the hearts of kings, It is an attribute to God himself, And earthly power doth then show likest God's, When mercy seasons justice. Therefore, Jew r , Though justice be thy plea, consider this, — That in the course of justice none of us Should see salvation : we do pray for mercy, And that same prayer doth teach us all to render The deeds of mercy.

Ibid 1 It is not nominated in the bond. White* 44 Shakespeare. [The Merchant of Venice continued. How sweet the moonlight sleeps upon this bank ! Here we will sit, and let the sounds of music Creep in our ears : soft stillness and the night Become the touches of sweet harmony. Sit, Jessica : look, how the floor of Heaven Is thick inlaid with patines of bright gold ; There 's not the smallest orb which thou behold'st But in his motion like an angel sings, Still quiring to the young-eyed cherubins : Such harmony is in immortal souls ; But, whilst this muddy vesture of decay Doth grossly close it in, we cannot hear it. Act v. Sc. i. I am never merry when I hear sweet music. Ibid. The man that hath no music in himself, Nor is not mov'd with concord of sweet sounds, J Is fit for treasons, stratagems, and spoils: The motions of his spirit are dull as night, And his affections dark as Erebus. * Let no such man be trusted. ibid. How far that little candle throws his beams ! So shines a good deed in a naughty world. Ibid. How many things by season seasoned are To their right praise, and true perfection ! Ibid.

" Poor deer," quoth he, " thou mak'st a testament As worldlings do, giving thy sum of more To that which had too much." ibid. Sweep on, you fat and greasy citizens. ibid. And He that doth the ravens feed, Yea, providently caters for the sparrow, Be comfort to my age ! Act ii. Sc. 3 4.6 Shakespeare. [As You Like It continued. For in my youth I never did apply Hot and rebellious liquors in my blood. Act ii. Sc. 3. Therefore my age is as a lusty winter, Frosty, but kindly. Ibid. O good old man ! how well in thee appears The constant service of the antique world, When service sweat for duty, not for meed ! Thou art not for the fashion of these times, Where none will sweat, but for promotion. Ibid. Under the greenwood tree. Act ii. Sc 5. And raiPd on Lady Fortune in good terms, In good set terms. Act ii. Sc. 7. And then he drew a dial from his poke, And, looking on it with lack-lustre eye, Says, very wisely, " It is ten o'clock : Thus we may see," quoth he, " how the world wags." ibid. And so, from hour to hour, we ripe and ripe, And then, from hour to hour, we rot and rot, And thereby hangs a tale. ibid. My lungs began to crow like chanticleer, That fools should be so deep-contemplative ; And I did laugh, sans intermission, An hour by his dial. ibid. Motley's the only wear. ibid.

If ever you have look'd on better days • If ever been where bells have knolPd to church. Ibid. And wiped our eyes Of drops that sacred pity hath engender'd. Ibid. All the world 's a stage And all the men and women merely players ; They have their exits and their entrances ; And one man in his time plays many parts, — His Acts being seven ages. At first, the Infant, Mewling and puking in the nurse's arms. Then the whining School-boy, with his satchel And shining morning face, creeping like snail Unwillingly to school. And then the Lover, Sighing like furnace, with a woful ballad Made to his mistress' eyebrow. Then a Soldier, Full of strange oaths, and bearded like the parcl ; Jealous in honour, sudden and quick in quarrel, Seeking the bubble Reputation Even in the cannon's mouth. And then the Justice, In fair round belly with good capon lin'd, With eyes severe and beard of formal cut, 48 Shakespeare. [As You Like It continued Full of wise saws and modern instances, — And so he plays his part. The sixth age shifts Into the lean and slipper'd Pantaloon, With spectacle on nose and pouch on side ; His youthful hose well sav'd, a world too wide For his shrunk shank ; and his big manly voice, Turning again toward childish treble, pipes And whistles in his sound. Last scene of all, That ends this strange eventful history, Is second childishness and mere oblivion ; Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans — every- thing. Act ii. Sc. 7.

Act iii. Sc. 3. Down on your knees, And thank Heaven, fasting, for a good man's love. Act iii. St. 5. It is a melancholy of mine own, compounded of many simples, extracted from many objects, and, indeed, the sundry contemplation of my travels, in which my often rumination wraps me in a most humorous sadness.

Let still the woman take An elder than herself: so wears she to him, So sways she level in her husband's heart, For, boy, however we do praise ourselves, Our fancies are more giddy and unfirm, More longing, wavering, sooner lost and won, Than women's are. ibid. Then let thy love be younger than thyself, Or thy affection cannot hold the bent. ibid. The spinsters and the knitters in the sun, Do use to chaunt it. ibid.

Sc. 7. 1 The hum of either army stilly sounds, That the fix'd sentinels almost receive The secret whispers of each other's watch. Fire answers tire ; and through their paly flames Each battle sees the others umbered face.

Thou hast most traitorously corrupted the youth of the realm in erecting a grammar-school: and whereas, before, our forefathers had no other books but the score and the tally, thou hast caused printing to be used ; and, contrary to the King, his crown, and dignity, thou hast built a paper-mill Act iv.

Now is the winter of our discontent Made glorious summer by this sun of York, And all the clouds that lower'd upon our house In the deep bosom of the ocean buried. Now are our brows bound with victorious wreaths; Our bruised arms hung up for monuments ; Our stern alarums chang'd to merry meetings, Our dreadful marches to delightful measures. Grim-visaged war hath smooth'd his wrinkled front. And now, instead of mounting barbed steeds To fright the souls of fearful adversaries, He capers nimbly in a lady's chamber, To the lascivious pleasing of a lute. But I that am not shap'd for sportive tricks, Nor made to court an amorous looking-glass ; Shakespeare. 75 King Richard III. continued.] I,that am rudely stamp'd and want love's majesty To strut before a wanton ambling nymph ; I, that am curtail'd of this fair proportion, Cheated of feature by dissembling nature, Deform'd, unfinish'd, sent before my time Into this breathing world, scarce half made up, And that so lamely and unfashionable That dogs bark at me as I halt by them, — Why, I, in this weak piping time of peace, Have no delight to pass away the time, Unless to see my shadow in the sun.

O, I have pass'd a miserable night, So full of fearful dreams, of ugly sights, That, as I am a Christian faithful man, I would not spend another such a night, Though 't were to buy a world of happy days. Act i. Sc, 4. 1 'stol'n forth,' White, Knight. j 6 SJiakcspeai'e. [King Richard III. continued. O Lord, methought, what pain it was to drown ! What dreadful noise of water in mine ears ! What sights of ugly death within mine eyes ! Methought I saw a thousand fearful wracks ; A thousand men that fishes gnaw'd upon ; Wedges of gold, great anchors, heaps of pearl, Inestimable stones, unvalued jewels, All scattered in the bottom of the sea : Some lay in dead men's skulls ; and in those holes Where eyes did once inhabit, there were crept, As 't were in scorn of eyes, reflecting gems.

My conscience hath a thousand several tongues, And every tongue brings in a several tale, And every tale condemns me for a villain. Ibid.

I have touch'd the highest point of all my great- ness, And from that full meridian of my glory, I haste now to my setting : I shall fall Like a bright exhalation in the evening, And no man see me more. ibid. Press not a falling man too far. ibid. Farewell, a long farewell, to all my greatness ! This is the state of man : to-day he puts -forth The tender leaves of hope, to-morrow blossoms, And bears his blushing honours thick upon him : The third day, comes a frost, a killing frost ; And, — when he thinks, good easy man, full surely His greatness is a ripening, — nips his root, And then he falls, as I do. I have ventur'd, 1 See Spenser, Faerie Qneene> Book i. Ch. \.St. yj. Shakespeare, 79 King Henry VIII. continued.] Like little wanton boys that swim on bladders, This many summers in a sea of glory, But far beyond my depth : my high blown pride At length broke under me, and now has left me, Weary and old with service, to the mercy Of a rude stream, that must forever hide me. Vain pomp, and glory of this world, I hate ye ; I feel my heart new open'd. O, how wretched Is that poor man, that hangs on princes' favours ! There is betwixt that smile we would aspire to, That sweet aspect of princes and their ruin, More pangs and fears than wars or women have ; And when he falls, he falls like Lucifer, Never to hope again. Act iii. Sc. 2. And sleep in dull, cold marble. ibid. Say, Wolsey, that once trod the ways of glory, And sounded all the depths and shoals of honour, Found thee a way, out of his wreck, to rise in ; A sure and safe one, though thy master miss'd it.

Still in thy right hand carry gentle peace, To silence envious tongues : be just, and fear not. Let all the ends thou aim'st at be thy country's, Thy God's, and truth's ; then if thou falPst, O Cromwell, Thou fall'st a blessed martyr. ibid. 8o Shakespeare. [King Henry VIII. continued. Had I but serv'd my God with half the zeal I serv'd my king, he would not in mine age Have left me naked to mine enemies. Act iii. Sc. 2.

Act i. Sc. 2. Help me, Cassius, or I sink ! ibid. Ye gods, it doth amaze me, A man of such a feeble temper should So get the start of the majestic world, And bear the palm alone. ibid. Why, man, he doth bestride the narrow world Like a Colossus ; and we petty men Walk under his huge legs, and peep about To find ourselves dishonourable graves. Men at some time are masters of their fates ; The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, But in ourselves, that we are underlings. Ibid. Conjure with them, Brutus will start a spirit as soon as Ccesar. Now, in the names of all the gods at once, Upon what meat doth this our Caesar feed, That he is grown so great ? Age, thou art sham'd! Rome, thou hast lost the breed of noble bloods. Ibid. There was a Brutus once,that would have brook'd The eternal devil to keep his state in Rome, As easily as a king. ibid. Let me have men about me that are fat ; Sleek-headed men, and such as sleep o' nights \ 90 Shakespeare. [Julius Caesar continued. Yond' Cassius has a lean and hungry look • He thinks too much : such men are dangerous. Act i. Sc. 2. Seldom he smiles, and smiles in such a sort, As if he mock'd himself, and scorn 'd his spirit, That could be mov'd to smile at anything. Ibid. But, for mine own part, it was Greek to me. Ibid. Lowliness is young ambition's ladder, Whereto the climber-upward turns his face • But when he once attains the upmost * round, He then unto the ladder turns his back, Looks in the clouds, scorning the base degrees By which he did ascend. Act ii. Sc. i. Between the acting of a dreadful thing, And the first motion, all the interim is Like a phantasma, or a hideous dream : The Genius, and the mortal instruments, Are then in council ; and the state of man, Like to a little kingdom, suffers then The nature of an insurrection. ibid. But, when I tell him, he hates flatterers, He says, he does, being then most flattered. Ibid. With an angry wafture of your hand, Gave sign for me to leave you. ibid.

Fierce fiery warriors fought upon the clouds, In ranks and squadrons, and right form of war, Which drizzled blood upon the Capitol. Act ii. Sc. 2. When beggars die there are no comets seen ; The heavens themselves blaze forth the death of princes. Ibid. Cowards die many times before their deaths ; The valiant never taste of death but once. Of all the wonders that I yet have heard, It seems to me most strange that men should fear; Seeing that death, a necessary end, Will come when it will come. ibid. Cces. The ides of March are come.

" and let slip the dogs of war. Act iii. Sc. i. Romans, countrymen, and lovers ! hear me for my cause \ and be silent that you may hear. Act iii. Sc. 2. Not that I loved Caesar less, but that I loved Rome more. ibid. Who is here so base, that would be a bond- man ? If any, speak ; for him have I offended. I pause for a reply. ibid. Friends,Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears : I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him. The evil that men do lives after them, The good is oft interred with their bones, ibid. For Brutus is an honourable man ; So are they all, all honourable men. ibid. When that the poor have cried, Caesar hath wept : Ambition should be made of sterner stuff. Ibid. O judgment ! thou art fled to brutish beasts, And men have lost their reason ! ibid. But yesterday, the word of Caesar might Have stood against the world : now lies he there, And none so poor to do him reverence, ibid. If you have tears, prepare to shed them now. Ibid. See what a rent the envious Casca made. ibid. This was the most unkindest cut of all. ibid. Shakespeare. 93 Julius Caesar continued.] Great Caesar fell. O, what a fall was there, my countrymen ! Then I and you, and all of us fell down, Whilst bloody treason flourished over us. Act iii. Sc. 2. What private griefs they have, alas ! I know not. Ibid. I come not, friends, to steal away your hearts : I am no orator, as Brutus is. I only speak right on. ibid. Put a tongue In every wound of Caesar, that should move The stones of Rome to rise and mutiny, ibid. When love begins to sicken and decay, It useth an enforced ceremony. There are no tricks in plain and simple faith. Act iv. Sc. 2. You yourself Are much condemn'd to have an itching palm. Act iv. Sc. 3. The foremost man of all this world. ibid. I had rather be a dog, and bay the moon, Than such a Roman. ibid. I said an elder soldier, not a better : Did I say better ? ibid. There is no terror, Cassius, in your threats ; For I am arm'd so strong in honesty, That they pass by me as the idle wind, Which I respect not. ' . Ibid. 94 Shakespeare. [Julius Caesar continued. Should I have answer'd'Caius Cassius so? When Marcus Brutus grows so covetous, To lock such rascal counters from his friends, Be ready, gods, with all your thunderbolts, Dash him to pieces ! Act iv. Sc. 3. A friend should bear his friend's infirmities, But Brutus makes mine greater than they are. Ibid. All his faults observed, Set in a note-book, learn'd and conn'd by rote. Ibid. There is a tide in the affairs of men, Which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune \ Omitted, all the voyage of their life Is bound in shallows, and in miseries, s ibid. For ever, and for ever, farewell, Cassius. If we do meet again, why, we shall smile ; If not, why, then this parting w r as well made. Act v. Sc. 1. Oh, that a man might know The end of this day's business ere it come ! Ibid. The last of all the Romans, fare thee well ! Act v. Sc. 3. This was the noblest Roman of them all. Act v. Sc. 5.

Present fears Are less than horrible imaginings. ibid. Nothing is But what is not. ibid. Come what come may, Time and the hour runs through the roughest day. Ibid. Nothing in his life Became him like the leaving it ; he died, As one that had been studied in his death, To throw away the dearest thing he owed, As 't were a careless trifle. Act i. Sc. 4. There 's no art To find the mind's construction in the face. Ibid. Yet do I fear thy nature : It is too full o' the milk of human kindness. Act'i. Sc. 5.

Besides, this Duncan Hath borne his faculties so meek, hath been So clear in his great office, that his virtues Will plead like angels, trumpet-tongued, against The deep damnation of his taking-off • And pity, like a naked new-born babe, Striding the blast, or Heaven's cherubin, hors'd Upon the sightless couriers of the air.

O, it offends me to the soul, to hear a robustious periwig-pated fellow tear a passion to tatters, to very rags, to split the ears of the groundlings; who, for the most part, are capable of nothing but inexplicable dumb shews, and noise ; I would have such a fellow whipp'd for o'er-doing Termagant; it out-herods Herod.

Vol. \\\. p. 277. It is now sixteen or seventeen years since I saw the Queen of France, then the Dauphiness, at Versailles ; and surely never lighted on this orb, which she hardly seemed to touch, a more delightful vision. I saw her just above the hori- zon, decorating and cheering the elevated sphere she just began to move in, — glittering like the morning-star, full of life, and splendour, and joy. .... Little did I dream that I should have lived to see such disasters fallen upon her in a nation of gallant men, in a nation of men of honour and of cavaliers. I thought ten thousand swords must have leaped from their scabbards to avenge even a look that threatened her with insult. But the age of chivalry is gone.

JOHN ADAMS. 1735 -1826. The second day of July, 1776, will be the most memorable epocha in the history of Amer- ica. I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniver- sary Festival. It ought to be commemorated, as the day of deliverance, by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be sol- emnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires, and illumi- nations, from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward for evermore.

The God who gave us life gave us liberty at the same time. Summary View of the Rights of British America. When, in the course of human events, it be- comes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of man- kind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation. A Declaration by the Representatives of the United States of America. We hold these truths to be self-evident : that all men are created equal ; that they are en- dowed by their Creator with inalienable rights : that among these are life, liberty, and the pur- suit of happiness.

Equal and exact justice to all men, of what- ever state or persuasion, religious or political ; peace, commerce, and honest friendship, with all nations, — entangling alliances with none ; the support of the State governments in all their rights, as the most competent administrations for our domestic concerns, and the surest bul- warks against anti-republican tendencies ; the preservation of the General Government in its whole constitutional vigour, as the sheet anchor of our peace at home and safety abroad ; . . . . freedom of religion \ freedom of the press ; free- dom of person under the protection of habeas corpus ; and trial by juries impartially selected, — these principles form the bright constellation which has gone before us, and guided our steps through an age of revolution and reformation.

Sir Walter Scott has mentioned that the only time he saw Burns this picture was in the room.

Referring, perhaps, to this maxim of Bion, Plutarch says in his Life of Cleomenes (c. 27), " He who first called money the sinews of the state seems to have said this with special reference to war.'''' Ac- cordingly, we find money called expressly rh vevpa rov izoTiefiov, "the sinews of war," in Libanius, Orat. xlvi. (vol. ii. p. 477, ed. Reiske), and by the Scholiast on Pindar, Olymp. i. 4 (comp.

St. Augustine was in the habit of dining upon Saturday as upon Sunday ; but, being puzzled with the different practices then prevailing (for they had begun to fast at Rome on Satur- day), consulted St. Ambrose on the subject. Now at Milan they did not fast on Saturday, and the answer of the Milan saint was this : — " When I am here, I do not fast on Saturday ; when at Rome, I do fast on Saturday."

According to Brady (Clavis Calendaria), this designation arose from the fact, that, in an old romance, a prince of the name of Crispin is made to exercise, in honour of his namesake, St. Crispin, the trade of shoemaking. There is a tradition that King Edward IV., in one of his disguises, once drank with a party of shoemakers, and pledged them. The story is alluded to in the old play : — Marry because you have drank with the King, And the King hath so graciously pledg'd you, You shall no more be called shoemakers ; But you and yours, to the world's end, Shall be called the trade of the gentle craft.

A Rowland for an Oliver. These were two of the most famous in the list of Charlemagne's twelve peers ; and their exploits are rendered so ridiculously and equally ex- travagant by the old romancers, that from thence arose that saying, amongst our plain and sensible ancestors, of giving one a " Row- land for his Oliver," to signify the matching one incredible lie with another. — Thomas Warburton. All is lost save honour. It was from the imperial camp near Pavia, that Francis the First, before leaving for Pizzighet- tone, wrote to his mother the memorable letter which, thanks to tradition, has become altered to the form of this sublime laconism : " Mad- ame, tout est perdu fors l'honneur." The true expression is, "Madame, pour vous faire savoir comme se porte le reste de mon infortune, de toutes choses ne m'est demeure' que l'honneur et la vie qui est sauve." — Mar- tin, Histoire de France.

When a man came for a horse, he was led into the stable, where there was a great choice, but he obliged him to take the horse which stood next to the stable door ; so that every customer was alike well served according to his chance, from whence it became a proverb, when what ought to be your election was forced upon you, to say "Hobson's choice." — Spectator.

From a medallion by Wedgwood (1768), repre- senting a negro in chains, with one knee on the ground, and both hands lifted up to heaven.

Fournier asserts, on the written authority of Talleyrand's brother, that the only breviary used by the ex-bishop was L Tmprovisateur Francais, a compilation of anecdotes and bon- mots, in twenty-one duodecimo volumes. Whenever a good thing was wandering about in search of a parent, he adopted it ; amongst others, "C'est le commencement de la fin." To shew our simple skill, That is the true beginning of our end. Shakespeare, Midsummer Nighfs Dream. Emerald Isle. This expression was first used in a song called Erin, to her own Tune, by Dr. William Dren- nan. 17 54-1820. 1 No such American edition has ever been seen, but at least four copies are known of the London issue. A German translation of this oration was printed in 1778, perhaps at Berne ; the place of publication is not given. — Wells's Life of Adams. 66o Appe7idix. \ Orthodoxy is my doxy, Heterodoxy is another man's doxy. "I have heard frequent use," said the late Lord Sandwich, in a debate on the Test Laws, " of the words * orthodoxy * and * heterodoxy ; ' but I confess myself at a loss to know precisely what they mean." " Orthodoxy, my Lord," said Bishop Warburton, in a whisper, — " or- thodoxy is my doxy, — heterodoxy is another man's doxy." — Priestley's Memoirs. Vol. i. p. 572.

Truth, 't is supposed, may bear all lights ; and one of those principal lights or natural medi- ums by which things are to be viewed, in order to a thorough recognition, is ridicule itself. — Shaftesbury, Essay on the Freedom of Wit and Humour. Sec. 1. 'T was the saying of an ancient sage, 2 that hu- mour was the only test of gravity ; and gravity, of humour. For a subject which would not bear raillery was suspicious ; and a jest which would not bear a serious examination was cer- tainly false wit. — Ibid. Sec. 5. 1 We have, oftener than once, endeavoured to attach some meaning to that aphorism, vulgarly imputed to Shaftesbury, which, however, we can find nowhere in his works, that ridicule is the test of truth. — Carlyle, Miscellanies.

A man is said to be art and part of a crime when he contrives the manner of the deed, and concurs with and encourages those who commit the crime, although he does not put his own hand to the actual execution of it. Scott, Tales of a Grandfather. Ch. xxii. Ex- ecution of Morton. Better to wear out than to rust out. When a friend told Bishop Cumberland he would wear himself out by his incessant application, "It is better," replied the Bishop, "to wear out than to rust out." — Bishop Home, Ser- mon on the Duty of Contending for the Truth. Before you could say Jack Robinson. This current phrase is derived from a humorous song by Hudson, a tobacconist in Shoe Lane, London. He was a professional song-writer and vocalist, who used to be engaged to sing at supper-rooms and theatrical houses. Order reigns in Warsaw.

Appendix. 663 Sardonic smile. The island of Sardinia, consisting chiefly of marshes or of mountains, has, from the earliest period to the present, been cursed with a nox- ious air, an ill-cultivated soil, and a scanty population. The convulsions produced by its poisonous plants gave rise to the expression of sardonic smile, which is as old as Homer (Odyss. lib. xx. v. 302). — Mahon, History of England. Vol. i. p. 287. Consistency is a jewel. This is one of those popular sayings, like " Be good, and you will be happy," or "Virtue is its own reward," that, like Topsy, " never was born, only jist growed." From the earliest times it has been the popular tendency to call this or that cardinal virtue, or bright and shin- ing excellence, a jewel, by way of emphasis. For example, Iago says : — " Good name, in man or woman, dear my lord, Is the immediate jewel of their souls." Shakespeare elsewhere calls ''''Experience a jew- el ; " Miranda says her Modesty is the jewel in her dower ; and in " All 's Well that Ends Well," Diana terms her chastity the jewel of her house. We might go on to quote John Heywood's " Plain dealing 's a jewel," and many others, but we think these examples are enough. — R. A. Wight. Dead as Chelsea. To get Chelsea ; to obtain the benefit of that hospital. "Dead as Chelsea, by G-d ! " an exclamation uttered by a grenadier at Fonte- noy, on having his leg carried away by a can- non ball.
