Few thoughts had he to spare from gloom and strife.

"Corsair! thy doom is named—but I have power

"To soothe the Pacha in his weaker hour.

"Thee would I spare—nay more—would save thee now,

"But this—time—hope—nor even thy strength allow;

"But all I can, I will: at least delay

"The sentence that remits thee scarce a day.

"More now were ruin—even thyself were loth

"The vain attempt should bring but doom to both."

"Yes!—loth indeed:—my soul is nerved to all,

"Or fall'n too low to fear a further fall:

"Tempt not thyself with peril—me with hope,

"Of flight from foes with whom I could not cope;

"Unfit to vanquish—shall I meanly fly,

"The one of all my band that would not die?—

"Yet there is one—to whom my memory clings,

"Till to these eyes her own wild softness springs.

Rh "My sole resources in the path I trod

"Were these—my bark—my sword—my love—my God!

"The last I left in youth!—He leaves me now—

"And Man but works his will to lay me low.

"I have no thought to mock his throne with prayer

"Wrung from the coward crouching of despair,

"It is enough—I breathe—and I can bear.

"My sword is shaken from the worthless hand

"That might have better kept so true a brand;

"My bark is sunk or captive—but my love—

"For her in sooth my voice would mount above:

"Oh! she is all that still to earth can bind—

"And this will break a heart so more than kind,

"And blight a form—till thine appeared, Gulnare!

"Mine eye ne'er asked if others were as fair."

"Thou lov'st another then?—but what to me

"Is this—'tis nothing—nothing e'er can be:

"But yet—thou lov'st—and—Oh! I envy those

"Whose hearts on hearts as faithful can repose,

"Who never feel the void—the wandering thought

"That sighs o'er visions—such as mine hath wrought."

 and Aliens Immigration Laws, as well as the new Press Law, were passed in the latter part of 1896.

In 1897 a decision of Chief Justice Kotze was overruled by an act of the volksraad. This led to a strong protest from the judges of the high court, and eventually led to the dismissal of the chief justice, who had held that office for over twenty years, and during the whole of that time had been a loyal and patriotic friend to his country. An industrial commission appointed during this year by President Kruger fared no better than the high court had done. The commission was deputed to inquire into and report on certain of the grievances adversely affecting the gold industry. Its constitution for this purpose was anomalous, as it consisted almost entirely of Transvaal officials whose knowledge of the requirements of the industry was scanty. In spite of this fact, however, the commission reported in favour of reform in various directions. They urged, among other things, due enforcement of the liquor law, more police protection, the abolition of the dynamite concession, and that foodstuffs should be duty free. These recommendations made by President Kruger's own nominees were practically ignored. In 1898, to strengthen his relations with foreign powers, Kruger sent the state secretary, Dr Leyds, to Europe as minister plenipotentiary, his place on the Transvaal executive being taken by Mr Reitz, the ex-president of the Free State. At home Kruger continued as obdurate as ever. In January 1899 Mr Chamberlain pointed out in a despatch to President Kruger that the dynamite monopoly constituted a breach of the London Convention. To help the Transvaal government out of its difficulty, and to make one more effort towards conciliation, the financial houses of Johannesburg offered to lend the Transvaal government £600,000 wherewith to buy out the dynamite company, and so terminate the scandal and bring some relief to the industry, The offer was not accepted. Meantime Sir Alfred Milner had also endeavoured to induce the Transvaal government to grant the necessary reforms, but his efforts were equally unavailing (see ). In March the Uitlanders, hopeless of ever obtaining redress from President Kruger, weary of sending petitions to the Raad only to be jeered at, determined to invoke intervention if nothing else could avail, and forwarded a petition to Queen Victoria. This petition, the outcome of the second Uitlander movement for reform, was signed by 21,000 British subjects, and stated the Uitlander position at considerable length. The following extract conveys its general tenor:—

In response to this appeal, Mr Chamberlain, in a despatch dated the 10th of May, proposed a conference at Pretoria. Six days before Sir Alfred Milner had telegraphed to London a summary of the situation, comparing the position of the Uitlanders to that of helots and declaring the case for intervention to be overwhelming. Neither of these dispatches was made public at the time. But on the very day Mr Chamberlain wrote his despatch the friends of the Transvaal government in Cape Colony and the Orange Free State invited Sir Alfred Milner to meet President Kruger at Bloemfontein, hoping to be able to exert pressure on both parties and to arrange a settlement as favourable as possible to the Transvaal. The conference opened on the 31st of May and closed on the 5th of June. It no sooner opened than it was evident that Kruger had come to obtain, not to grant, concessions. He offered, it is true, a seven years’ franchise law in place of the five years’ franchise which Sir Alfred Milner asked for. But apart from the relief suggested being entirely inadequate, it was only to be given on certain conditions, one of which was that all future disputes which might arise between the Transvaal and the Imperial government should be referred to a court of arbitration, of which the president should be a foreigner. No arrangement was possible on such terms. Meanwhile feeling was running high at Johannesburg and throughout South Africa. Meetings were held in all the large towns, at which resolutions were passed declaring that no solution of the Transvaal question would be acceptable which did not provide for equal political rights for all white men. Sir Alfred Milner urged the home government strongly to insist upon a minimum of reform, and primarily the five years’ franchise; and Mr Chamberlain, backed by the cabinet, adopted the policy of the high commissioner. (A. P. H.; F. R. C.)

D. The Crisis of 1899.—A state of extreme diplomatic tension lasted all the summer. The British public, in whom there had always been the latent desire to retrieve the surrender to the Boers which had followed the disaster at Majuba, were at last awakened by the ministerialist press to the necessity of vindicating British influence in South Africa, and the government soon found that, in spite of a highly articulate Radical minority, the feeling of the country was overwhelmingly behind them. It was not then realized either by the public or the government how seriously, and with what considerable justification, the Boers believed in their ability, if necessary, to sweep the British “into the sea.” President Kruger had every expectation of large reinforcements from the Dutch in the two British colonies; he believed that, whatever happened, Europe would not allow Boer independence to be destroyed; and he had assured himself of the adhesion of the Orange Free State, though it was not till the very last moment that President Steyn formally notified Sir Alfred Milner of this fact. The Boers profoundly despised the military power of Great Britain, and there was no reason why they, any more than Germany or France, should contemplate the possibility of the empire standing together as a whole in such a cause. In England, on the other hand, it was thought by most people that if a firm enough attitude were adopted Mr Kruger would “climb down,” and the effect of this error was shown partly in the whole course of the negotiations, partly in the tone personally adopted by Mr Chamberlain. It was only later that it was seen that if Great Britain intended effectually to champion the Uitlander cause, the moment for a test of strength had inevitably arrived. Negotiations could only bring the conflict a little nearer, delay it a little longer, or supply an opportunity to either side to justify its action in the eyes of the world. The conditions of the problem were such that unless Great Britain were to accept a humiliating rebuff, any correspondence, however skilfully conducted, was bound to bring into greater prominence the standing causes of offence between the two sides. The exchange of dispatches soon led to a complete impasse. The persistent attempt of the South African Republic to assert its full independence, culminating in a formal denial of British suzerainty, made it additionally incumbent on Great Britain to carry its point as to the Uitlander grievances, while, from Mr Kruger’s point of view, the admission of the Uitlanders to real political rights meant the doom of his oligarchical regime, and appeared in the light of a direct menace to Boer supremacy. The franchise, again, was an internal affair, in which the convention gave Great Britain no right to interfere, while if Great Britain relied on certain definite breaches of the convention, satisfaction | for which was sought in the first place in such a guarantee of

Rh "Yes—had I ever proved that passion's zeal,

"The change to hatred were at least to feel:

"But still—he goes unmourned—returns unsought—

"And oft when present—absent from my thought.

"Or when reflection comes—and come it must—

"I fear that henceforth 'twill but bring disgust;

"I am his slave—but, in despite of pride,

"'Twere worse than bondage to become his bride.

"Oh! that this dotage of his breast would cease!

"Or seek another and give mine release,

"But yesterday—I could have said, to peace!

"Yes, if unwonted fondness now I feign,

"Remember—captive! 'tis to break thy chain;

"Repay the life that to thy hand I owe;

"To give thee back to all endear'd below,

"Who share such love as I can never know.

"Farewell—morn breaks—and I must now away:

"'Twill cost me dear—but dread no death to-day!"

And was she here? and is he now alone?

What gem hath dropped and sparkles o'er his chain?

The tear most sacred—shed for others' pain—

That starts at once—bright—pure—from Pity's mine,

Already polish'd by the hand divine!

Oh! too convincing—dangerously dear—

In woman's eye the unanswerable tear!

That weapon of her weakness she can wield,

To save—subdue—at once her spear and shield—

Avoid it—Virtue ebbs and Wisdom errs,

Too fondly gazing on that grief of hers

What lost a world, and bade a hero fly?

The timid tear in Cleopatra's eye.

Yet be the soft triumvir's fault forgiven,

By this—how many lose not earth—but heaven!

Consign their souls to man's eternal foe,

And seal their own to spare some wanton's woe!

The beams—without the hope of yesterday.—

O'er which the raven flaps her funeral wing:

By his closed eye unheeded and unfelt,

While sets that sun, and dews of evening melt,

Chill—wet—and misty round each stiffened limb,

Refreshing earth—reviving all but him!—

Peter ad vincula, which was in the year of our Lord God 1465. sealed with a double print in Lead, to be devised and ordained by the Treasurer of England for the time being, testifying of the true length and breadth, and lawful making. Also by the same Act it was ordained, among, other things, that the Treasurer of England for the time being, should have power and authority to make such and as many keepers of the same Seals, as he shall think necessary ; So that no Grangers born should be made any of the same keepers : And that every of the said keepers so to be made, shall yearly accompt of the revenues of their said offices in the King's Eschequer before the Treasurer of England and the Barons there for the time being, shewing in the same accompts the number of all the Cloths, half Clothes, Streits and Kersies sealed by them, with the names of the owners thereof; Every of the said keepers to be rewarded yearly at his said accompt for his labour and diligence had in this behalf, at the receipt of the said Eschequer, by the discretion of the said Treasurer and Barons, without payment of any thing in the said Eschequer for the making of his said accompt, as in the said Act thereof made is more largely contained : The King certainly perceiving, that sithence the making of the same Act, he hath had yearly greater loss by the approvement of the Subsidy and Aulnage of Cloths, than he had at any time before the faid Act of approvement made ; For the same and for divers other great Causes moving him, by the assent of the Lords Spiritual and Temporal, and the Commons in this present Parliament assembled, and by authority of the same Parliament hath ordained, established, and enacted, that from the Feast of Easter next coming, all the Woollen Clothes, half Clothes, Streits, and Kersies, being of good and perfect making, of length and breadth according to the form of the said Act, made in the said fourth year, shall be sealed with Wax at boih ends, taking no more for the same both seals, than before was taken for the sealing of an whole Cloth, half Cloth, Streit, or Kerfie : Except only, that in the City of London, and in the Town of Bristol , all the Cloths that ought to be sealed, shall be sealed with Lead, as hath been there accustomed.

Hi MODCHK,

For whatever it's still worth, I only made the edit because the way it was before read DOCTORING STOC.K., at least in Chrome. I'm happy to yield to your experience and know-how if there's a better way to do it :-). Lankiveil (talk) 13:03, 30 August 2013 (UTC).

 * Well, I've set it accordingly on the basis that you probably know better than I :-). The two examples that you put on my talk page look slightly different to me in Chromium browser, but neither are out enough to be 'wrong'.  Lankiveil (talk) 09:29, 31 August 2013 (UTC).

Em dashes and horizontal bars
Hello. In this edit you used a horizontal bar rather than an em dash. Of course, in many situations that is perfectly correct, but I hope that I have not oversteped things by changing it to a dash. I'm bringing it to your attention because I would appreciate your thoughts... I'm always interested in learning more of the nuances of punctuation! :-) Thanks. — Sam Wilson ( Talk • Contribs ) … 03:06, 20 October 2013 (UTC)

 those who had authority and experience, what was good and expedient for his soul's health. We also have been in these days becoming consistent; if we fast, we fast for ourselves; if we keep a holy day, or select a portion of the weekly service, it is because we of our own minds deem it convenient; we have become in all things the judges of the Church, instead of reverently obeying what has been recommended to us; we judge beforehand what will be useful to us, instead of ascertaining by experience whether that recommended by elder Christians be not so.

Yet I would fain hope that there will not long be this variance between our principles and our practice; but that, instead of examining what is the present practice of any portion of our Church, and enquiring how this may be amended, men would first investigate, in the Canons and the Rubrics, what the real mind of the Church is, and see whether adherence to these would not remove the regretted defect.

One only objection can, I think, be raised by any earnest-minded Christian to this weekly Fast, namely, that the means employed, mere self-denial in so slight a matter as one's food, is so petty and trifling a thing, that it were degrading the doctrine of the Cross to make such an observance in any way bear upon it. One respects the feelings of such a person and his love for the Cross; but the objection probably proceeds from inexperience in the habit of Fasting. For let any one consider from his childhood upwards by what the greater part of his habits have been formed and by what they are continued: not by any great acts or great sacrifices, (as far as any thing might be relatively great,) but by a succession of petty actions, whose effect he could not at the time foresee, or thought too minute to leave any trace behind them, and which have in fact, whether for good or for evil, made him what he is. Practice will universally shew, that the motive ennobles the action, not that the action dishonours the motive. "True it is," says Bishop Taylor, "that religion snatches even at little things; and as it teaches us to observe all the great commandments and

 of duty, so it is not willing to pretermit any thing, which, although by its greatness it cannot of itself be considerable, yet by its smallness it may become a testimony of the greatness of the affection, which would not omit the least minutes of love and duty." He who pronounced a blessing upon the gift of a cup of cold water to a disciple in His name, will also bless any act of sincere self-denial practised in memory of Him. Only let us not mock, let us deny ourselves in something which is to us really self-denial; let us, in whatever degree we may be able to bear it without diminishing our own usefulness, put ourselves to some inconvenience, in sorrow and shame for those sins, "the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eye, and the pride of life," which made our  a man of sorrows, and exposed him to shame, and we shall not afterwards think the practice degrading to Him, or without meaning. The Fast of the early Christians during Lent was an entire abstinence until evening, on the Friday, until three o'clock; unused as we for the most part are to any such discipline, many of us would at the first not be well able to endure it; at all events its introduction had best be gradual: the Church has left the mode of observing her Fasts free to the conscience of each, only let them consist in real self-denial, and be accompanied by charity and prayer.

The early Church acted, as it supposed, upon our Blessed own authority, in connecting these acts of bodily abstinence with the memory of His death. The Bridegroom was taken away! Yet if any one should find in himself any abiding repugnance to associate matters, necessarily humiliating, with the doctrine of the Cross, let him not endeavour to force his feelings; the Church wished to lay no yoke upon her members; let him perform the acts in mere compliance with the advice of the Church, and the experience of elder Christians; when he shall have attained the habit of self-denial and self-humiliation, the doctrine of the Cross will, without effort, connect itself with each such performance.

The other Fasts of the Church require the less to be dwelt upon, either because, as in Lent, her authority is yet in some degree recognized, although it be very imperfectly and capriciously obeyed; or, as in the case of the Ember Weeks, the practice has

 direct scriptural authority; or in that of the other Festivals, because when we shall again value the privilege of having the blessed examples of Martyrs and Saints set before us to

we shall feel also the advantage of ushering in each such day by actions which may remind us how they entered into their glory, by taking up their cross and following Him.

Only with regard to the Ember Weeks, it may be permitted to observe, how this institution yet more fully embraces the objects which some good men are endeavouring, by voluntary association, to attain. For the solemn period of the four Ember Weeks is obviously calculated for prayer, not for those only who are to be ordained to any holy function, but for all who shall have been so called, that God "would so replenish them with the truth of this doctrine, and endue them with innocency of life, that they may faithfully serve Him;" and thus, not only some few individuals, more nearly known to each other, but all the Ministers and all the people of should, with one mind and one mouth, implore a blessing upon the Ministry, which He has appointed.

And this also is an especial privilege of the whole public Fasting of our Church, beyond the voluntary discipline adopted by individuals, that it presents the whole Church unitedly before, humbling themselves for their past sins, and imploring Him not to give His heritage to reproach. The value of this united humiliation and prayer only knoweth; yet, since He hath promised to be present where two or three are gathered together in His name, how much more when His Church shall again unite before Him "in weeping, fasting, and praying;" how much more shall he spare, though we deserve punishment, and in His wrath think upon mercy. He who spared the Ninevites, how much more may we trust that He will spare us, for whom He has given His well-beloved Son.

 " us, therefore, dearly beloved, seeing there are many more causes of fasting and mourning in these our days, than hath been of many years heretofore in any one age, endeavour ourselves both inwardly in our hearts, and also outwardly with our bodies, diligently to exercise this godly exercise of fasting, in such sort and manner, as the holy prophets, the apostles, and divers other devout persons for their time used the same. God is now the same God that he was then; God that loveth righteousness, and that hateth iniquity; God which willeth not the death of a sinner, but rather that he turn from his wickedness and live; God that hath promised to turn to us, if we refuse not to turn to him: yea, if we turn our evil works from before his eyes, cease to do evil, learn to do well, seek to do right, relieve the oppressed, be a right judge to the fatherless, defend the widow, break our bread to the hungry, bring the poor that wander into our house, clothe the naked, and despise not our brother which is our own flesh; Then shall thou call, saith the prophet, ''and the Lord shall answer; thou shalt cry, and he shall say. Here am I:'' yea, God, which heard Ahab, and the Ninevites, and spared them, will also hear our prayers, and spare us, so that we, after their example, will unfeignedly turn unto him: yea, he will bless us with his heavenly benedictions, the time that we have to tarry in this world, and, after the race of this mortal life, he will bring us to his heavenly kingdom, where we shall reign in everlasting blessedness with our saviour Christ, to whom with the Father and the Holy Ghost be all honour and glory, for ever and ever. Amen." Homily on Fasting, part 2.

"Lord have mercy upon us, and give us grace, that while we live in this miserable world, we may through thy help bring forth this and such other fruits of the Spirit, commended and commanded in thy holy word, to the glory of thy name, and to our comforts, that, after the race of this wretched life, we may live everlastingly with thee in thy heavenly kingdom, not for the merits and worthiness of our works, but for thy mercies sake, and the merits of thy dear Son, Jesus Christ, to whom, with thee and the Holy Ghost, be all laud, honour, and glory, for ever and ever. Amen." Homily on Fasting, part 1.

the preceding remarks, the observance of the Fasts enjoined by the Church has been recommended on the ground of the practical wisdom and spiritual experience of the Holy Men, by whose advice they were adopted, rather than on that of the direct authority of the Church. And this has been done, not because the writer doubted of the validity of that authority in this instance, but because it involved a question, which would to many appear distant and abstract; whether, namely, the Church's Laws on this subject were by long disuse virtually abrogated. For I am persuaded that many excellent men, who would shrink from contravening a distinct command of their Church, do in fact neglect these, from some notion that the Church herself has tacitly abandoned them. This notion does indeed appear to me to rest on a wrong supposition.

For, 1st. Since the Church has not annexed any censures to the neglect of this Ordinance, (which may correspond to the penal provisions of a civil law,) the mere silence of the Church, or of her Spiritual Authorities, is no proof of her acquiescence in the breach of its directions.

2. It would be admitted in any other case, that the mere multitude of those who broke any law, did not alone abrogate that law; that the intrinsic sanctity of the law cannot depend upon the obedience which men may yield to it; that the laxity or remissness of men, at one period, cannot annihilate the authority by which that remissness was to be controlled. The disobedience of others, be they many or few, nay, though they should be even the majority, can have no force in absolving us from the law by which we are in common bound. It is true that observances, which the Church has at one time on her own authority ordained, she may at another abrogate; yet, until she do this, it is to be presumed that she wishes them to be retained in force. And it

HEREAS by an Act of Parliament made in the thirty-first Year of the Reign of his late Majesty King the Second, intituled, An Act for the due making of Bread, and to regulate the Price and Assize thereof; and to pnnish Perfons who shall adulterate Meal, Flower or Bread; certain Powers are granted to the several Courts, Magistrates, and Justices of the Peace therein mentioned, to set, ascertain and appoint the Assize and Weight of Bread which shall be made for Sale, or exposed to Sale, and the Price to be paid for the same respectively, within the Bounds of their several Jurisdictions, from time to time, as they shall think proper: And it is thereby enacted, That in every assize of Bread which shall be so set and appointed, Respect shall, from time to time, be had to the Price which the Grain, Meal or Flour, whereof such Bread shall be made, shall bear in the publick Market or Markets in or near the publick Place or Places for which any such Assize shall be so at any Time set; and for ascertaining such Price of Grain, Meal, or Flour, from time to time, the several Courts, Magistrates, and Justices of the Peace therein mentioned, are thereby impowered, from time to time, as there shall be Occasion, within their several Jurisdictions, to cause the respective Prices which the several Sorts of Grain, Meal and Flour shall, from time to time, bona fide sell for in such publick Markets, to be given in and certified upon Oath unto such Court, Magistrates, or Justices of the Peace respectively, within their several Jurisdictions, by the Clerk of the Market, or by such Perfon or Persons, and in such Manner, and on such Day of the Week, as they shall respectively appoint within their several Jurisdictions ; and the Price which shall be so certified shall, from time to time, be entered by the respective Person or Persons who shall certify the same, in a Book or Books to be provided and kept by him or them for that Purpose, in the Form and Manner as therein directed : And whereas the above Method of ascertaining the Price of Wheat and Rye, and the Flour and Meal made of those Grains, cannot take Place within that Part of Great Britain called Scotland, by reason that there are few publick Markets for such Grains, Flour or Meal, within that Part of the United Kingdom ; and where there are publick Markets for Grain, Flour or Meal of any Kind, there is no such Officer as Clerk of the Market., who can certify to the Magistrates or Justices of the Peace the respective Prices which the several Sorts of Grain, Meal and Flour sell for in such publick Markets ; whereby the Salutary Effect and Execution of the said Act made for the whole United Kingdom, is prevented and totally disappointed within that Part thereof called Scotland: For Remedy whereof, Be it enacted by the King's most Excellent Majesty, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Lords Spiritual and Temporal, and Commons, in this present Parliament assembled, and by the Authority of the same,

That in Place of the Method prescribed and laid down in the said Act for ascertaining the Price of the several Kinds of Grain, Meal and Flour, it shall and may be lawful, in that Part of Great Britain called Scotland, for the Magistrates and Justices of the Peace who are by the said Act authorized to set the Assize of Bread, from time to time, and so often as they shall judge proper, within their respective Jurisdictions, to enquire into and take Proof of the Prices, which the several Sorts of Grain, Meal and Flour, fit and proper to make the several Sorts of Bread which shall be allowed to be made by them, shall bona fide fell for in the publick Markets in or near the City, Borough or Place, for which they are respectively authorized to set the Assize of Bread ; or where there are no publick Markets for any particular Species of Grain, Meal or Flour, in or near such City, Borough or Place, to inquire into and take Proof of the present or last selling Price of such Species of Grain, Meal or Flour, whether of the Growth of the Country or brought from distant Places; to which selling Price or prime Cost shall be added such an Allowance for the Expence and Risk of Carriage or Transportation, as from the Enquiry and Proof shall to the said Magistrates and Justices of the Peace appear just and reasonable; so as that the Price of such Grain, Meal or Flour be, from time to time, ascertained according to what those several Species do or may truly cost the Bakers before they can manufacture the same into Bread.

II. And be it further enacted by the Authority aforesaid, That previous to the Proof to be taken in the several Cases aforesaid, Notice in Writing shall be given to the Deacon of the Incorporation of Bakers, or where there is no such Incorporation, to any two reputable Bakers within the City, where such Proof is to be taken, forty-eight Hours at least before taking the same, such Proof is to the end that the Makers of Bread within such City, Borough or Place may, if they think proper, attend the taking such Proof, and suggest such Questions as may be proper to be put to the Witnesses summoned by the Magistrates or Justices of the Peace respectively, or offer such other

 has already happened, that ordinances have for a time fallen into disuse, which yet were never intended to be abrogated, and which afterwards have been very beneficially revived. It is within the memory of man, that the yearly Commemoration of our Blessed death was in country congregations very generally omitted. This is now, I trust, almost universally observed; nor is there any apparent reason, why this other ordinance of the Church, whereby we humble ourselves for the sins which caused that Death, should not, if men once came seriously to consider it, be promptly, and with very wholesome results, restored. I doubt not, that if the question were formally proposed to the Spiritual Authorities of our Church, whether they would think it adviseable that our stated Fasts should be abolished, they would earnestly deprecate it. Their silence therefore on this subject is rather to be ascribed to the supposed hopelessness of attempting to bind our modern manners to Ancient Discipline, than to any dispaiagement of the institutions themselves. Our institutions in many cases sleep, but are not dead; nay, one has reason to hope, that although the many neglect them, a faithful few have ever been found, who have experienced and could testify the value of those, which the world seems most entirely to neglect.

Yet, although these grounds of Church authority appear to myself perfectly valld, and I doubt not that many others will feel their weight, as soon as they shall reflect upon them, the other argument, drawn from the practical wisdom and experience of the enacters of these regulations, seems to lie nearer to men's consciences. The argument lies in a narrow compass. Regular and stated Fasts formed a part of the Discipline, by which all Christians of old, (if health permitted,) subdued the flesh to the spirit, and brought both body and mind into a willing obedience to the Law of. They thought this Discipline necessary as an expression and instrument of repentance, as a memorial of their to "refrain their souls and keep them low," to teach them to "trust in the Lord," and seek communion with Him. The value of this remedy for sin has come to us attested by the experience, and sealed by the blood of Martyrs; who having learnt thus to endure hardships, like good soldiers of, at last resisted to the blood, striving against sin. Shall we untried pronounce that to

 be needless for ourselves, which the Goodly Company of the Prophets, the Noble Army of Martyrs, the Holy Church throughout all the world, found needful?

I can hardly anticipate other than one answer. Only let not any one be deterred by the irksomeness, or perplexities, or harassing doubts, which every one must find in resuming a neglected portion of duty. It were scarcely a discipline, if its practice brought with it an immediate reward; and we have besides to pay the penalty of our sloth and diseased habits. "Patiently to lack what flesh and blood doth desire, and by virtue to forbear what by nature we covet, this no man attaineth unto, but with labour and long practice." And if it be that blessed instrument of holiness, which they who have tried it assure us, it will not be without some struggle with our spiritual enemy, that we shall recover the ground which we have lost. Only let us persevere, not elated with the first petty victories over ourselves, which may be perhaps conceded to us, in order to produce over-confidence and carelessness; nor dejected by the obstacles which a luxurious and scoffing age may oppose; nor by the yet greater difficulties from within, in acquiring any uniform or consistent habit. Men, aided by God, have done the like; and for us also, His grace will be sufficient. E. B. P.

Uploader's note: This combined index follows Cuvier's system as set out in "A Classified Index and Synopsis of the Animal Kingdom Arranged in conformity with its Organization, By the Baron Cuvier, With Supplementary Additions to Each Order, by Edward Griffith and Others". London, 1835. ''Swainson's indexes to the 3 volumes do not follow this very closely, and are mutually inconsistent. Genera marked * do not appear in Griffith and have been interpolated as seems appropriate from Swainson's text.''
