Side 251 - Gravissimus auctor in Originibus dixit Cato, morem apud majores hunc epularum fuisse, ut deinceps, qui accubarent, canerent ad tibiam clarorum virorum laudes atque virtutes. Ex quo perspicuum est, et cantus tum fuisse rescriptos vocum sonis, et carmina.
Side 256 - A stranger to the unity which characterizes the most perfect of Greek poems it divides itself into sections, answering to the adventures in the Lay of the Niebelungen ; and should any one ever have the boldness to think of restoring it in a poetical form, he would commit a great mistake in selecting any other than that of this noble work.
Side 320 - But all, however different in rank and consequence, were entitled to paternal protection from the patron : he was bound to relieve their distress, to appear for them in court, to expound the law to them, civil and pontifical.

Silvia had gone into the sacred grove to draw water from the spring for the service of the temple : the sun quenched its rays : the sight...
Side 197 - Where the lake now lies, there once stood a great city. Here, when Jesus Christ came into Italy, He begged alms. None took compassion on Him but an old woman, who gave Him two handfuls of meal. He bade her leave the city : she obeyed : the city instantly sank ; and the lake rose in its place.
Side 52 - ... root. This fallacy escaped detection among the ancients, perhaps because they admitted many races of men originally different. They who do not recognise such a plurality, but ascend to a single pair of ancestors, betray that they have no idea of languages and their modifications, unless they...
Side 104 - Sabellian mountaineers, but especially of the Sabines and the four northern cantons ; and they preserved it long after the virtues of ancient times had disappeared at Rome from the hearts and demeanour of men.
