AUTHOR
S
PREFACE
The
Devil
s
Dictionary
was
begun
in
a
weekly
paper
in
and
was
continued
in
a
desultory
way
at
long
intervals
until
In
that
year
a
large
part
of
it
was
published
in
covers
with
the
title
The
Cynic
s
Word
Book
a
name
which
the
author
had
not
the
power
to
reject
or
happiness
to
approve
To
quote
the
publishers
of
the
present
work
This
more
reverent
title
had
previously
been
forced
upon
him
by
the
religious
scruples
of
the
last
newspaper
in
which
a
part
of
the
work
had
appeared
with
the
natural
consequence
that
when
it
came
out
in
covers
the
country
already
had
been
flooded
by
its
imitators
with
a
score
of
cynic
books
The
Cynic
s
This
The
Cynic
s
That
and
The
Cynic
s
t
Other
Most
of
these
books
were
merely
stupid
though
some
of
them
added
the
distinction
of
silliness
Among
them
they
brought
the
word
cynic
into
disfavor
so
deep
that
any
book
bearing
it
was
discredited
in
advance
of
publication
Meantime
too
some
of
the
enterprising
humorists
of
the
country
had
helped
themselves
to
such
parts
of
the
work
as
served
their
needs
and
many
of
its
definitions
anecdotes
phrases
and
so
forth
had
become
more
or
less
current
in
popular
speech
This
explanation
is
made
not
with
any
pride
of
priority
in
trifles
but
in
simple
denial
of
possible
charges
of
plagiarism
which
is
no
trifle
In
merely
resuming
his
own
the
author
hopes
to
be
held
guiltless
by
those
to
whom
the
work
is
addressed
enlightened
souls
who
prefer
dry
wines
to
sweet
sense
to
sentiment
wit
to
humor
and
clean
English
to
slang
A
conspicuous
and
it
is
hoped
not
unpleasant
feature
of
the
book
is
its
abundant
illustrative
quotations
from
eminent
poets
chief
of
whom
is
that
learned
and
ingenius
cleric
Father
Gassalasca
Jape
S
J
whose
lines
bear
his
initials
To
Father
Jape
s
kindly
encouragement
and
assistance
the
author
of
the
prose
text
is
greatly
indebted
A
B
A
ABASEMENT
n
A
decent
and
customary
mental
attitude
in
the
presence
of
wealth
of
power
Peculiarly
appropriate
in
an
employee
when
addressing
an
employer
ABATIS
n
Rubbish
in
front
of
a
fort
to
prevent
the
rubbish
outside
from
molesting
the
rubbish
inside
ABDICATION
n
An
act
whereby
a
sovereign
attests
his
sense
of
the
high
temperature
of
the
throne
Poor
Isabella
s
Dead
whose
abdication
Set
all
tongues
wagging
in
the
Spanish
nation
For
that
performance
twere
unfair
to
scold
her
She
wisely
left
a
throne
too
hot
to
hold
her
To
History
she
ll
be
no
royal
riddle
Merely
a
plain
parched
pea
that
jumped
the
griddle
G
J
ABDOMEN
n
The
temple
of
the
god
Stomach
in
whose
worship
with
sacrificial
rights
all
true
men
engage
From
women
this
ancient
faith
commands
but
a
stammering
assent
They
sometimes
minister
at
the
altar
in
a
half
hearted
and
ineffective
way
but
true
reverence
for
the
one
deity
that
men
really
adore
they
know
not
If
woman
had
a
free
hand
in
the
world
s
marketing
the
race
would
become
graminivorous
ABILITY
n
The
natural
equipment
to
accomplish
some
small
part
of
the
meaner
ambitions
distinguishing
able
men
from
dead
ones
In
the
last
analysis
ability
is
commonly
found
to
consist
mainly
in
a
high
degree
of
solemnity
Perhaps
however
this
impressive
quality
is
rightly
appraised
it
is
no
easy
task
to
be
solemn
ABNORMAL
adj
Not
conforming
to
standard
In
matters
of
thought
and
conduct
to
be
independent
is
to
be
abnormal
to
be
abnormal
is
to
be
detested
Wherefore
the
lexicographer
adviseth
a
striving
toward
the
straiter
sic
resemblance
of
the
Average
Man
than
he
hath
to
himself
Whoso
attaineth
thereto
shall
have
peace
the
prospect
of
death
and
the
hope
of
Hell
ABORIGINIES
n
Persons
of
little
worth
found
cumbering
the
soil
of
a
newly
discovered
country
They
soon
cease
to
cumber
they
fertilize
ABRACADABRA
By
Abracadabra
we
signify
An
infinite
number
of
things
Tis
the
answer
to
What
and
How
and
Why
And
Whence
and
Whither
a
word
whereby
The
Truth
with
the
comfort
it
brings
Is
open
to
all
who
grope
in
night
Crying
for
Wisdom
s
holy
light
Whether
the
word
is
a
verb
or
a
noun
Is
knowledge
beyond
my
reach
I
only
know
that
tis
handed
down
From
sage
to
sage
From
age
to
age
An
immortal
part
of
speech
Of
an
ancient
man
the
tale
is
told
That
he
lived
to
be
ten
centuries
old
In
a
cave
on
a
mountain
side
True
he
finally
died
The
fame
of
his
wisdom
filled
the
land
For
his
head
was
bald
and
you
ll
understand
His
beard
was
long
and
white
And
his
eyes
uncommonly
bright
Philosophers
gathered
from
far
and
near
To
sit
at
his
feet
and
hear
and
hear
Though
he
never
was
heard
To
utter
a
word
But
Abracadabra

Made

of
the
mystical
speech
Which
they
published
next
A
trickle
of
text
In
the
meadow
of
commentary
Mighty
big
books
were
these
In
a
number
as
leaves
of
trees
In
learning
remarkably
very
He
s
dead
As
I
said
And
the
books
of
the
sages
have
perished
But
his
wisdom
is
sacredly
cherished
In
Abracadabra
it
solemnly
rings
Like
an
ancient
bell
that
forever
swings
O
I
love
to
hear
That

By

but
it
has

even
beyond

for

Of

this

the

comparing
the
pains
of

to
the
wounds
of
an

of

They
then
point
with
pride

these

the
cause

health

ripe
years
the
truth
being
that
they
are
hearty

DULLARD
n
A
member
of
the
reigning
dynasty
in
letters
and
life
The
Dullards
came
in
with
Adam
and
being
both
numerous
and
sturdy
have
overrun
the
habitable
world
The
secret
of
their
power
is
their
insensibility
to
blows
tickle
them
with
a
bludgeon
and
they
laugh
with
a
platitude
The
Dullards
came
originally
from
Boeotia
whence
they
were
driven
by
stress
of
starvation
their
dullness
having
blighted
the
crops
For
some
centuries
they
infested
Philistia
and
many
of
them
are
called
Philistines
to
this
day
In
the
turbulent
times
of
the
Crusades
they
withdrew
thence
and
gradually
overspread
all
Europe
occupying
most
of
the
high
places
in
politics
art
literature
science
and
theology
Since
a
detachment
of
Dullards
came
over
with
the
Pilgrims
in
the
Mayflower
and
made
a
favorable
report
of
the
country
their
increase
by
birth
immigration
and
conversion
has
been
rapid
and
steady
According
to
the
most
trustworthy
statistics
the
number
of
adult
Dullards
in
the
United
States
is
but
little
short
of
thirty
millions
including
the
statisticians
The

The

of
its

LUNARIAN
Then
when
your
Congress
has
passed
a
law
it
goes
directly
to
the
Supreme
Court
in
order
that
it
may
at
once
be
known
whether
it
is
constitutional
TERRESTRIAN
O
no
it
does
not
require
the
approval
of
the
Supreme
Court
until
having
perhaps
been
enforced
for
many
years
somebody
objects
to
its
operation
against
himself
I
mean
his
client
The
President
if
he
approves
it
begins
to
execute
it
at
once
LUNARIAN
Ah
the

power
is

Do
your

also
have

that
they
enforce
TERRESTRIAN
Not
yet
at

not
in
their
character

constables
Generally
speaking
though
all
laws
require
the
approval
of
those
whom
they
are
intended
to
restrain
LUNARIAN
I
see
The
death
warrant
is
not
valid
until
signed
by
the
murderer
TERRESTRIAN
My
friend
you
put
it
too
strongly
we
are
not
so
consistent
LUNARIAN
But
this
system
of
maintaining
an
expensive
judicial
machinery
to
pass
upon
the
validity
of
laws
only
after
they
have
long
been
executed
and
then
only
when
brought
before
the
court
by
some
private
person
does
it
not
cause
great
confusion
TERRESTRIAN
It
does
LUNARIAN
Why
then
should
not
your
laws
previously
to
being
executed
be
validated
not
by
the
signature
of
your
President
but
by
that
of
the
Chief
Justice
of

The

feasts
are

the

In

these

took
the

such
were
held
by

under

by

in

they
are
popular
with

it
is
believed
that

the
modern
were

But
when

These

he

The

pondered
this

Then
shook
and
threw
the
fateful
dice
Wherewith
all

Are
ordered
and
observed
the

Then
bent
His
head
in
awful

Confirming
the
decree
of
Fate
From

anew
The

No

n
The
prototype
of
punctuation
It
is
observed
by
Garvinus
that
the
systems
of
punctuation
in
use
by
the
various
literary
nations
depended
originally
upon
the
social
habits
and
general
diet
of
the
flies
infesting
the
several
countries
These
creatures
which
have
always
been
distinguished
for
a
neighborly
and
companionable
familiarity
with
authors
liberally
or
niggardly
embellish
the
manuscripts
in
process
of
growth
under
the
pen
according
to
their
bodily
habit
bringing
out
the
sense
of
the
work
by
a
species
of
interpretation
superior
to
and
independent
of
the
writer
s
powers
The
old
masters
of
literature
that
is
to
say
the
early
writers
whose
work
is
so
esteemed
by
later
scribes
and
critics
in
the
same
language
never
punctuated
at
all
but
worked
right
along
free
handed
without
that
abruption
of
the
thought
which
comes
from
the
use
of
points
We
observe
the
same
thing
in
children
to
day
whose
usage
in
this
particular
is
a
striking
and
beautiful
instance
of
the
law
that
the
infancy
of
individuals
reproduces
the
methods
and
stages
of
development
characterizing
the
infancy
of
races
In
the
work
of
these
primitive
scribes
all
the

is
found
by
the

naturally
regard
as
divine

later

reverently

whatever

they
find
upon

to
the
unspeakable
enhancement
of
the
lucidity
of
the
thought
and
value
of
the
work
Writers
contemporary
with
the
copyists
naturally
avail
themselves
of
the
obvious
advantages
of
these

in
their

work

with
such

of

which
is
no

to
understand
the
important
services
that

perform
to

it
is
only
necessary
to
lay
a

advantages
over

however

use

A

never

naked
he
appears
either
in
a
winding
sheet
or
in
his

he

To
believe
in
him
then
is
to
believe
that
not
only
have
the
dead
the
power
to
make
themselves
visible
after
there
is
nothing
left
of
them

that
the

power
inheres
in
textile
fabrics

what

would

And

GHOUL
n
A
demon
addicted
to
the
reprehensible
habit
of
devouring
the
dead
The
existence
of
ghouls
has
been
disputed
by
that
class
of
controversialists
who
are
more
concerned
to
deprive
the
world
of
comforting
beliefs
than
to
give
it
anything
good
in
their
place
In
Father
Secchi
saw
one
in
a
cemetery
near
Florence
and
frightened
it
away
with
the
sign
of
the
cross
He
describes
it
as
gifted
with
many
heads
an
an
uncommon
allowance
of
limbs
and
he
saw
it
in
more
than
one
place
at
a
time
The
good
man
was
coming
away
from
dinner
at
the
time
and
explains
that
if
he
had
not
been
heavy
with
eating
he
would
have
seized
the
demon
at
all
hazards
Atholston
relates
that
a
ghoul
was
caught
by
some
sturdy
peasants
in
a
churchyard
at
Sudbury
and
ducked
in
a
horsepond
He
appears
to
think
that
so
distinguished
a
criminal
should
have
been
ducked
in
a
tank
of
rosewater
The
water
turned
at
once
to
blood
and
so
contynues
unto
ys
daye
The
pond
has
since
been
bled
with
a
ditch
As
late
as
the
beginning
of
the
fourteenth
century
a
ghoul
was
cornered
in
the
crypt
of
the
cathedral
at
Amiens
and
the
whole
population
surrounded
the
place
Twenty
armed
men
with
a
priest
at
their
head
bearing
a
crucifix
entered
and
captured
the
ghoul
which
thinking
to
escape
by
the
stratagem
had
transformed
itself
to
the
semblance
of
a
well
known
citizen
but
was
nevertheless
hanged
drawn
and
quartered
in
the
midst
of
hideous
popular
orgies
The
citizen
whose
shape
the
demon
had
assumed
was
so
affected
by
the
sinister
occurrence
that
he
never
again
showed
himself
in
Amiens
and
his
fate
remains
a
mystery

GUILLOTINE
n
A
machine
which
makes
a

shrug
his
shoulders
with
good
reason
In
his
great
work
on
Divergent
Lines
of
Racial
Evolution
the
learned
Professor
Brayfugle
argues
from
the
prevalence
of
this
gesture
the
shrug
among
Frenchmen
that
they
are
descended
from
turtles
and
it
is
simply
a
survival
of
the
habit
of
retracing
the
head
inside
the
shell
It
is
with
reluctance
that
I
differ
with
so
eminent

authority

in
my
judgment
as
more
elaborately
set
forth
and
enforced
in
my

entitled

c

the
shrug
is
a
poor
foundation
upon
which
to
build
so
important
a
theory
for
previously
to
the
Revolution
the
gesture
was
unknown

have
not

GUNPOWDER
n
An

employed

if

By
most
writers
the
invention
of
gunpowder
is
ascribed
to
the
Chinese
but
not
upon
very
convincing
evidence
Milton
says
it
was
invented
by
the
devil
to
dispel
angels
with
and
this
opinion
seems
to
derive
some
support
from
the
scarcity
of
angels
Moreover
it
has
the
hearty
concurrence
of
the
Hon
James
Wilson
Secretary
of
Agriculture
Secretary
Wilson
became
interested
in
gunpowder
through
an
event
that
occurred
on
the
Government
experimental
farm
in
the
District
of
Columbia
One
day
several
years
ago
a
rogue
imperfectly
reverent
of
the
Secretary
s
profound
attainments
and
personal
character
presented
him
with
a
sack
of
gunpowder
representing
it
as
the
sed
of
the
Flashawful
flabbergastor
a
Patagonian
cereal
of
great
commercial
value
admirably
adapted
to
this
climate
The
good
Secretary
was
instructed
to
spill
it
along
in
a
furrow
and
afterward
inhume
it
with
soil
This
he
at
once
proceeded
to
do
and
had
made
a
continuous
line
of
it
all
the
way
across
a
ten
acre
field
when
he
was
made
to
look
backward
by
a
shout
from
the
generous
donor
who
at
once
dropped
a
lighted
match
into
the
furrow
at
the
starting
point
Contact
with
the
earth
had
somewhat
dampened
the
powder
but
the
startled
functionary
saw
himself
pursued
by
a
tall
moving
pillar
of
fire
and
smoke
and
fierce
evolution
He
stood
for
a
moment
paralyzed
and
speechless
then
he
recollected
an
engagement
and
dropping
all
absented
himself
thence
with
such
surprising
celerity
that
to
the
eyes
of
spectators
along
the
route
selected
he
appeared
like
a
long
dim
streak
prolonging
itself
with
inconceivable
rapidity
through
seven
villages
and
audibly
refusing
to
be
comforted

struck
out
the
objectional
word
wherever
he
could
find

At
the
next
meeting
the
Bishop
of
Salisbury
looking
over
the
work
suddenly
sprang
to
his
feet
and
said
with
considerable
excitement
Gentlemen
somebody
has
been
razing
Hell
here
Years
afterward
the
good
prelate
s
death
was
made
sweet
by
the
reflection
that
he
had
been
the
means
under
Providence
of
making
an
important
serviceable
and
immortal
addition
to
the
phraseology
of
the
English

HAG
n
An
elderly
lady
whom
you
do
not
happen
to
like
sometimes
called
also
a
hen
or
cat
Old
witches
sorceresses
etc
were
called
hags
from
the
belief
that
their
heads
were
surrounded
by
a
kind
of
baleful
lumination
or
nimbus
hag
being
the
popular
name
of
that
peculiar
electrical
light
sometimes
observed
in
the
hair
At
one
time
hag
was
not
a
word
of
reproach
Drayton
speaks
of
a
beautiful
hag
all
smiles
much
as
Shakespeare
said
sweet
wench
It
would
not
now
be
proper
to
call
your
sweetheart
a
hag
that
compliment
is
reserved
for
the
use
of
her
grandchildren
HALF
n
One
of
two
equal
parts
into
which
a
thing
may
be
divided
or
considered
as
divided
In
the
fourteenth
century
a
heated
discussion
arose
among
theologists
and
philosophers
as
to
whether
Omniscience
could
part
an
object
into
three
halves
and
the
pious
Father
Aldrovinus
publicly
prayed
in
the
cathedral
at
Rouen
that
God
would
demonstrate
the
affirmative
of
the
proposition
in
some
signal
and
unmistakable
way
and
particularly
if
it
should
please
Him
upon
the
body
of
that
hardy
blasphemer
Manutius
Procinus
who
maintained
the
negative
Procinus
however
was
spared
to
die
of
the
bite
of
a
viper
HALO
n
Properly
a
luminous
ring
encircling
an
astronomical
body
but
not
infrequently
confounded
with
aureola
or
nimbus
a
somewhat
similar
phenomenon
worn
as
a
head
dress
by
divinities
and
saints
The
halo
is
a
purely
optical
illusion
produced
by
moisture
in
the
air
in
the
manner
of
a
rainbow
but
the
aureola
is
conferred
as
a
sign
of
superior
sanctity
in
the
same
way
as
a
bishop
s
mitre
or
the
Pope
s
tiara
In
the
painting
of
the
Nativity
by
Szedgkin
a
pious
artist
of
Pesth
not
only
do
the
Virgin
and
the
Child
wear
the
nimbus
but
an
ass
nibbling
hay
from
the
sacred
manger
is
similarly
decorated
and
to
his
lasting
honor

it
said
appears
to

dignity

grace

HANDKERCHIEF
n
A
small
square
of
silk
or
linen
used
in
various
ignoble
offices
about
the
face
and
especially
serviceable
at
funerals
to
conceal
the
lack
of
tears
The
handkerchief
is
of
recent
invention
our
ancestors
knew
nothing
of
it
and
intrusted
its
duties
to
the
sleeve
Shakespeare
s
introducing
it
into
the
play
of
Othello
is
an
anachronism
Desdemona

her
nose
with
her

as
Dr

have
done
with

an
evidence

In

The

in

v
i
To
pass
the
winter
season
in
domestic
seclusion
There
have
been
many
singular
popular
notions
about
the
hibernation
of
various
animals
Many
believe
that
the
bear
hibernates
during
the
whole
winter
and
subsists
by
mechanically
sucking
its
paws
It
is
admitted
that
it
comes
out
of
its
retirement
in
the
spring
so
lean
that
it
had
to
try
twice
before
it
can
cast
a
shadow
Three
or
four
centuries
ago
in
England
no
fact
was
better
attested
than
that
swallows
passed
the
winter
months
in
the
mud
at
the
bottom
of
their
brooks
clinging
together
in
globular
masses
They
have
apparently
been
compelled
to
give
up
the
custom
and
account
of
the
foulness
of
the
brooks
Sotus
Ecobius
discovered
in
Central
Asia
a
whole
nation
of
people
who
hibernate
By
some
investigators
the
fasting
of
Lent
is
supposed
to
have
been
originally
a
modified
form
of
hibernation
to
which
the
Church
gave
a
religious
significance
but
this
view
was
strenuously
opposed
by
that
eminent
authority

IMPALE
v
t
In
popular
usage
to
pierce
with
any
weapon
which
remains
fixed
in
the
wound
This
however
is
inaccurate
to
impale
is
properly
to
put
to
death
by
thrusting
an
upright
sharp
stake
into
the
body
the
victim
being
left
in
a
sitting
position
This
was
a
common
mode
of
punishment
among
many
of
the
nations
of
antiquity
and
is
still
in
high
favor
in
China
and
other
parts
of
Asia
Down
to
the
beginning
of
the
fifteenth
century
it
was
widely
employed
in
churching
heretics
and
schismatics
Wolecraft
calls
it
the
stoole
of

and
among
the
common
people
it
was
jocularly
known
as

Ludwig
Salzmann
informs
us
that
in
Thibet
impalement
is
considered
the
most
appropriate
punishment
for
crimes
against
religion
and
although
in
China
it
is
sometimes
awarded
for
secular
offences
it
is
most
frequently
adjudged
in
cases
of
sacrilege
To
the
person
in
actual
experience
of
impalement
it
must
be
a
matter
of
minor
importance
by
what
kind
of
civil
or
religious
dissent
he
was
made
acquainted
with
its
discomforts

doubtless
he
would

Revelation

justice
are
admissible
it
can
easily
be
proved
that
powerful
and
malevolent
magicians
once
existed
and
were
a
scourge
to
mankind
The
evidence
including
confession
upon
which
certain
women
were
convicted
of
witchcraft
and
executed
was
without
a
flaw
it
is
still
unimpeachable
The
judges

based
on
it
were
sound

Nothing
in

Victor

more

elsewhere
by
the
beauty
of

doubtless
sometimes

at

greatly
to

inconvenience
and
alarm
of
the

dames
who
wish
to
be
loyal
to
their
marriage
vows
generally
speaking
A
certain
lady
applied
to
the
parish
priest
to
learn
how
they
might
in
the
dark
distinguish
the
hardy
intruder
from
their
husbands
The
holy
man
said
they
must
feel

Hugo
is
ungallant
enough
to
hint

of

INFERIAE
n
Latin
Among
the
Greeks
and
Romans
sacrifices
for
propitiation
of
the
Dii
Manes
or
souls
of
the
dead
heroes
for
the
pious
ancients
could
not
invent
enough
gods
to
satisfy
their
spiritual
needs
and
had
to
have
a
number
of
makeshift
deities
or
as
a
sailor
might
say
jury
gods
which
they
made
out
of
the
most
unpromising
materials
It
was
while
sacrificing
a
bullock
to
the
spirit
of
Agamemnon
that
Laiaides
a
priest
of
Aulis
was
favored
with
an
audience
of
that
illustrious
warrior
s
shade
who
prophetically
recounted
to
him
the
birth
of
Christ
and
the
triumph
of
Christianity
giving
him
also
a
rapid
but
tolerably
complete
review
of
events
down
to
the
reign
of
Saint
Louis
The
narrative
ended
abruptly
at
the
point
owing
to
the
inconsiderate
crowing
of
a
cock
which
compelled
the
ghosted
King
of
Men
to
scamper
back
to
Hades
There
is
a
fine
mediaeval
flavor
to
this
story
and
as
it
has
not
been
traced
back
further
than
Pere
Brateille

pious
but
obscure
writer
at
the
court

shall
probably
not
err
on
the
side
of

The
introduction
attains
its
most
malevolent
development
in
this
century
being
indeed
closely
related
to
our
political
system
Every
American
being
the
equal
of
every
other
American
it
follows
that
everybody
has
the
right
to
know
everybody
else
which
implies
the
right
to
introduce
without
request
or
permission
The
Declaration
of
Independence
should
have
read
thus
We
hold
these
truths
to
be
self
evident
that
all
men
are
created
equal
that
they
are
endowed
by
their
Creator
with
certain
inalienable
rights
that
among
these
are
life
and
the
right
to
make
that

another
miserable
by
thrusting
upon
him
an
incalculable
quantity
of
acquaintances
liberty
particularly
the
liberty
to
introduce
persons
to

another
without
first
ascertaining
if
they
are
not

J
is
a
consonant
in
English
but
some
nations
use
it
as
a
vowel
than
which
nothing
could
be
more
absurd
Its
original
form
which
has
been
but
slightly
modified
was
that
of
the
tail
of
a
subdued
dog
and
it
was
not
a
letter
but
a
character
standing
for
a
Latin
verb
jacere
to
throw
because
when
a
stone
is
thrown
at
a
dog
the
dog
s
tail
assumes
that
shape
This
is
the
origin
of
the
letter
as
expounded
by
the
renowned
Dr
Jocolpus
Bumer
of
the
University
of
Belgrade
who
established
his
conclusions
on
the
subject
in
a
work

committed

JESTER
n
An
officer
formerly
attached
to
a
king
s
household
whose
business
it
was
to
amuse
the
court
by
ludicrous
actions
and
utterances
the
absurdity
being
attested
by
his
motley
costume
The
king
himself
being
attired
with
dignity
it
took
the
world
some
centuries
to
discover
that
his
own
conduct
and
decrees
were
sufficiently
ridiculous
for
the
amusement
not
only
of
his
court
but
of
all
mankind
The
jester
was
commonly
called
a
fool
but
the
poets
and
romancers
have
ever
delighted
to
represent
him
as
a
singularly
wise
and
witty
person
In
the
circus
of
to
day
the
melancholy
ghost
of
the
court
fool
effects
the
dejection
of
humbler
audiences
with
the
same
jests
wherewith
in
life
he
gloomed
the
marble
hall
panged
the
patrician
sense
of
humor
and
tapped
the
tank

Daughter
the

K
K
is
a
consonant
that
we
get
from
the
Greeks
but
it
can
be
traced
away
back
beyond
them
to
the
Cerathians
a
small
commercial
nation
inhabiting
the
peninsula
of
Smero
In
their
tongue
it
was
called
Klatch
which
means
destroyed
The
form
of
the
letter
was
originally
precisely
that
of
our
H
but
the
erudite
Dr
Snedeker
explains
that
it
was
altered
to
its
present
shape
to
commemorate
the
destruction
of
the
great
temple
of
Jarute
by
an
earthquake
circa
B
C
This
building
was
famous
for
the
two
lofty
columns
of
its
portico
one
of
which
was
broken
in
half
by
the
catastrophe
the
other
remaining
intact
As
the
earlier
form
of
the
letter
is
supposed
to
have
been
suggested
by
these
pillars
so
it
is
thought
by
the
great
antiquary
its
later
was
adopted
as
a
simple
and
natural
not
to
say
touching
means
of
keeping
the
calamity
ever
in
the
national
memory
It
is
not
known
if
the
name
of
the
letter
was
altered
as
an
additional
mnemonic
or
if
the
name
was
always
Klatch
and
the
destruction
one
of
nature
s
puns
As
each
theory
seems
probable
enough
I
see
no
objection
to
believing
both
and
Dr
Snedeker
arrayed
himself
on
that
side
of
the

KING

EVIL
n
A
malady
that
was
formerly
cured
by
the
touch
of
the
sovereign
but
has
now
to
be
treated
by
the
physicians
Thus
the
most
pious
Edward
of
England
used
to
lay
his
royal
hand
upon
the
ailing
subjects
and
make
them
whole
a

it

is
the
foundation
of

and
is
eminently
worthy

Carried
to
its
logical
conclusion
it
means
that
some
have
the
right
to
prevent
others
from
living

the
right
to

implies
the
right
exclusively

LEXICOGRAPHER
n
A
pestilent
fellow
who
under
the
pretense
of
recording
some
particular
stage
in
the
development
of
a
language
does
what
he
can
to
arrest
its
growth
stiffen
its
flexibility
and
mechanize
its
methods
For
your
lexicographer
having
written
his
dictionary
comes
to
be
considered
as
one
having
authority
whereas
his
function
is
only
to
make
a
record
not
to
give
a
law
The
natural
servility
of
the
human
understanding
having
invested
him
with
judicial
power
surrenders
its
right
of
reason
and
submits
itself
to
a
chronicle
as
if
it
were
a
statue
Let
the
dictionary
for
example
mark
a
good
word
as
obsolete
or
obsolescent
and
few
men
thereafter
venture
to
use
it
whatever
their
need
of
it
and
however
desirable
its
restoration
to
favor
whereby
the
process
of
impoverishment
is
accelerated
and
speech
decays
On
the
contrary
recognizing
the
truth
that
language
must
grow
by
innovation
if
it
grow
at
all
makes
new
words
and
uses
the
old
in
an
unfamiliar
sense
has
no
following
and
is
tartly
reminded
that
it
isn
t
in
the
dictionary
although
down
to
the
time
of
the
first
lexicographer
Heaven
forgive
him
no
author
ever
had
used
a
word
that
was
in
the
dictionary
In
the
golden
prime
and
high
noon
of
English
speech
when
from
the
lips
of
the
great
Elizabethans
fell
words
that
made
their
own
meaning
and
carried
it
in
their
very
sound
when
a
Shakespeare
and
a
Bacon
were
possible
and
the
language
now
rapidly
perishing
at
one
end
and
slowly
renewed
at
the
other
was
in
vigorous
growth
and
hardy
preservation
sweeter
than
honey
and
stronger
than
a
lion
the
lexicographer
was
a
person
unknown
the
dictionary
a
creation
which
his
Creator
had
not
created
him
to
create
God
said
Let
Spirit
perish
into
Form
And
lexicographers
arose
a
swarm
Thought
fled
and
left
her
clothing
which
they
took
And
catalogued
each
garment
in
a
book
Now
from
her
leafy
covert
when
she
cries
Give
me
my
clothes
and
I
ll
return
they
rise
And
scan
the
list
and
say
without
compassion
Excuse
us
they
are
mostly
out
of
fashion

LICKSPITTLE
n
A
useful
functionary
not

found
editing
a
newspaper
In
his
character
of

he
is
closely
allied
to
the

by
the
tie
of
occasional
identity
for
in
truth
the
lickspittle
is
only
the
blackmailer
under
another
aspect
although
the
latter
is
frequently
found
as
an
independent
species
Lickspittling
is
more
detestable
than
blackmailing
precisely
as
the
business
of
a
confidence
man
is
more
detestable
than
that
of
a

and
the
parallel
maintains
itself
throughout

The
King
of
Manchuria
had
a
magic
looking
glass
whereon
whoso
looked
saw
not
his
own
image
but
only
that
of
the
king
A
certain
courtier
who
had
long
enjoyed
the
king
s
favor
and
was
thereby
enriched
beyond
any
other
subject
of
the
realm
said
to
the
king
Give
me
I
pray
thy
wonderful
mirror
so
that
when
absent
out
of
thine
august
presence
I
may
yet
do
homage
before
thy
visible
shadow
prostrating
myself
night
and
morning
in
the
glory
of
thy
benign
countenance
as
which
nothing
has
so
divine
splendor
O
Noonday
Sun
of
the
Universe
Please
with
the
speech
the
king
commanded
that
the
mirror
be
conveyed
to
the
courtier
s
palace
but
after
having
gone
thither
without
apprisal
he
found
it
in
an
apartment
where
was
naught
but
idle
lumber
And
the
mirror
was
dimmed
with
dust
and
overlaced
with
cobwebs
This
so
angered
him
that
he
fisted
it
hard
shattering
the
glass
and
was
sorely
hurt
Enraged
all
the
more
by
this
mischance
he
commanded
that
the
ungrateful
courtier
be
thrown
into
prison
and
that
the
glass
be
repaired
and
taken
back
to
his
own
palace
and
this
was
done
But
when
the
king
looked
again
on
the
mirror
he
saw
not
his
image
as
before
but
only
the
figure
of
a
crowned
ass
having
a
bloody
bandage
on
one
of
its
hinder
hooves
as
the
artificers
and
all
who
had
looked
upon
it
had
before
discerned
but
feared
to
report
Taught
wisdom
and
charity
the
king
restored
his
courtier
to
liberty
had
the
mirror
set
into
the
back
of
the
throne
and
reigned
many
years
with
justice
and
humility
and
one
day
when
he
fell
asleep
in
death
while
on
the
throne
the
whole
court
saw
in
the
mirror
the
luminous
figure
of
an
angel

MACROBIAN
n
One
forgotten
of
the
gods
and
living
to
a
great
age
History
is
abundantly
supplied
with
examples
from
Methuselah
to
Old
Parr
but
some
notable
instances
of
longevity
are
less
well
known
A
Calabrian
peasant
named
Coloni
born
in
lived
so
long
that
he
had
what
he
considered
a
glimpse
of
the
dawn
of
universal
peace
Scanavius
relates
that
he
knew
an
archbishop
who
was
so
old
that
he
could
remember
a
time
when
he
did
not
deserve
hanging
In
a
linen
draper
of
Bristol
England
declared
that
he
had
lived
five
hundred
years
and
that
in
all
that
time
he
had
never
told
a
lie
There
are
instances
of
longevity
macrobiosis
in
our
own
country
Senator
Chauncey
Depew
is
old
enough
to
know
better
The
editor
of
The
American
a
newspaper
in
New
York
City
has
a
memory
that
goes
back
to
the
time
when
he
was
a
rascal
but
not
to
the
fact
The
President
of
the
United
States
was
born
so
long
ago
that
many
of
the
friends
of
his
youth
have
risen
to
high
political
and
military
preferment
without
the
assistance
of
personal
merit
The
verses
following
were
written
by
a
macrobian
When
I
was
young
the
world
was
fair
And
amiable
and
sunny
A
brightness
was
in
all
the
air
In
all
the
waters
honey
The
jokes
were
fine
and
funny
The
statesmen
honest
in
their
views
And
in
their
lives
as
well
And
when
you
heard
a
bit
of
news
Twas
true
enough
to
tell
Men
were
not
ranting
shouting
reeking
Nor
women
generally
speaking
The
Summer
then
was
long
indeed
It
lasted
one
whole
season
The
sparkling
Winter
gave
no
heed
When
ordered
by
Unreason
To
bring
the
early
peas
on
Now
where
the
dickens
is
the
sense
In
calling
that
a
year
Which
does
no
more
than
just
commence
Before
the
end
is
near
When
I
was
young
the
year
extended
From
month
to
month
until
it
ended
I
know
not
why
the
world
has
changed
To
something
dark
and
dreary
And
everything
is
now
arranged
To
make
a
fellow
weary
The
Weather
Man
I
fear
he
Has
much
to
do
with
it
for
sure
The
air
is
not
the
same
It
chokes
you
when
it
is
impure
When
pure
it
makes
you
lame
With
windows
closed
you
are
asthmatic
Open
neuralgic
or
sciatic
Well
I
suppose
this
new
regime
Of
dun
degeneration
Seems
eviler
than
it
would
seem
To
a
better
observation
And
has
for
compensation
Some
blessings
in
a
deep
disguise
Which
mortal
sight
has
failed
To
pierce
although
to
angels
eyes
They
re
visible
unveiled

by

from

of

at

unusual
It
is
noteworthy
that
persons
are
pronounced
mad
by
officials
destitute
of
evidence
that
themselves
are
sane
For
illustration
this
present
and
illustrious
lexicographer
is
no
firmer
in
the
faith
of
his
own
sanity
than
is
any
inmate
of
any
madhouse
in
the
land
yet
for
aught
he
knows
to
the
contrary
instead
of
the
lofty
occupation
that
seems
to
him
to
be
engaging
his
powers
he
may
really
be
beating
his
hands
against
the

MAGDALENE
n
An

Popularly

It

In

the

pronounced

adjective
unpleasantly
sentimental
With
their
Maudlin
for

and
their

for
Bethlehem
the
English
may
justly
boast
themselves
the
greatest
of
revisers
MAGIC

MAGNITUDE

If
everything

nothing

larger

it

if
one

all

To
an

the

MOLECULE
n
The
ultimate
indivisible
unit
of
matter
It
is
distinguished
from
the

also
the

by
a
closer

to
the

also
the

unit
of

Three
great
scientific
theories
of
the
structure
of
the
universe
are
the

the

A
fourth
affirms
with
Haeckel
the
condensation
of
precipitation
of
matter
from
ether
whose
existence
is
proved
by
the
condensation
of
precipitation
The
present
trend
of
scientific
thought
is
toward
the
theory
of
ions
The
ion
differs
from
the
molecule
the
corpuscle
and
the
atom
in
that
it
is
an
ion
A
fifth
theory

it
is

if
they
know
any
more
about

the

Leibnitz

a

He
is
not

be
confounded
with

some

OPPOSITION
n
In
politics
the
party
that
prevents
the
Government
from
running
amuck
by
hamstringing
it
The
King
of
Ghargaroo
who
had
been
abroad
to
study
the
science
of
government
appointed
one
hundred
of
his
fattest
subjects
as
members
of
a
parliament
to
make
laws
for
the
collection
of
revenue
Forty
of
these
he
named
the
Party
of
Opposition
and
had
his
Prime
Minister
carefully
instruct
them
in
their
duty
of
opposing
every
royal
measure
Nevertheless
the
first
one
that
was
submitted
passed
unanimously
Greatly
displeased
the
King
vetoed
it
informing
the
Opposition
that
if
they
did
that
again
they
would
pay
for
their
obstinacy
with
their
heads
The
entire
forty
promptly
disemboweled
themselves
What
shall
we
do
now
the
King
asked
Liberal
institutions
cannot
be
maintained
without
a
party
of
Opposition
Splendor
of
the
universe
replied
the
Prime
Minister
it
is
true
these
dogs
of
darkness
have
no
longer
their
credentials
but
all
is
not
lost
Leave
the
matter
to
this
worm
of
the
dust
So
the
Minister
had
the
bodies
of
his
Majesty
s
Opposition
embalmed
and
stuffed
with
straw
put
back
into
the
seats
of
power
and
nailed
there
Forty
votes
were
recorded
against
every
bill
and
the
nation
prospered
But
one
day
a
bill
imposing
a
tax
on
warts
was
defeated
the
members
of
the
Government
party
had
not
been
nailed
to
their
seats
This
so
enraged
the
King
that
the
Prime
Minister
was
put
to
death
the
parliament
was
dissolved
with
a
battery
of
artillery
and
government
of
the
people

OPTIMISM
n
The

or
belief
that
everything

what

ugly
everything
good
especially
the

everything

that

It
is
held
with
greatest
tenacity
by
those
most
accustomed
to
the
mischance
of
falling
into
adversity
and
is
most
acceptably
expounded
with
the
grin
that
apes
a

Being
a
blind
faith
it
is
inaccessible
to
the

disproof
an

yielding
to

death
It

I

RIGHTEOUSNESS
n
A
sturdy
virtue
that
was
once
found
among
the
Pantidoodles
inhabiting
the
lower
part
of
the
peninsula
of
Oque
Some
feeble
attempts
were
made
by
returned
missionaries
to
introduce
it
into
several
European
countries
but
it
appears
to
have
been
imperfectly
expounded
An
example
of
this
faulty
exposition
is
found
in
the
only
extant
sermon
of
the
pious
Bishop
Rowley
a
characteristic
passage
from
which
is
here
given
Now
righteousness
consisteth
not
merely
in
a
holy
state
of
mind
nor
yet
in
performance
of
religious
rites
and
obedience
to
the
letter
of
the
law
It
is
not
enough
that
one
be
pious
and
just
one
must
see
to
it
that
others
also
are
in
the
same
state
and
to
this
end
compulsion
is
a
proper
means
Forasmuch
as
my
injustice
may
work
ill
to
another
so
by
his
injustice
may
evil
be
wrought
upon
still
another
the
which
it
is
as
manifestly
my
duty
to
estop
as
to
forestall
mine
own
tort
Wherefore
if
I
would
be
righteous
I
am
bound
to
restrain
my
neighbor
by
force
if
needful
in
all
those
injurious
enterprises
from
which
through
a
better
disposition
and
by
the

of
Heaven
I
do
myself
restrain

In

Your

is
a
poor

as
Carlyle
might
say

He

but
he
must
not
imagine
anything

that

not

albeit
his
entire

is
candidly
a
lie
Why
he
imposes
this
hard

on
himself
and
drags
at

a
lengthening

of
his

ROUNDHEAD
n
A
member
of
the
Parliamentarian
party
in
the
English
civil
war
so
called
from
his
habit
of
wearing
his
hair
short
whereas
his
enemy
the
Cavalier
wore
his
long
There
were
other
points
of
difference
between
them
but
the
fashion
in
hair
was
the
fundamental
cause
of
quarrel
The
Cavaliers
were
royalists
because
the
king
an
indolent
fellow
found
it
more
convenient
to
let
his
hair
grow
than
to
wash
his
neck
This
the
Roundheads
who
were
mostly
barbers
and
soap
boilers
deemed
an
injury
to
trade
and
the
royal
neck
was
therefore
the
object
of
their
particular
indignation
Descendants
of
the
belligerents
now
wear
their
hair
all
alike

SABBATH
n
A
weekly
festival
having
its
origin
in
the
fact
that
God
made
the
world
in
six
days
and
was
arrested
on
the
seventh
Among
the
Jews
observance
of
the
day
was
enforced
by
a
Commandment
of
which
this
is
the
Christian
version
Remember
the
seventh
day
to
make
thy
neighbor
keep
it
wholly
To
the
Creator
it
seemed
fit
and
expedient
that
the
Sabbath
should
be
the
last
day
of
the
week
but
the
Early
Fathers
of
the
Church
held
other
views
So
great
is
the
sanctity
of
the
day
that
even
where
the
Lord
holds
a
doubtful
and
precarious
jurisdiction
over
those
who
go
down
to
and
down
into
the
sea
it
is
reverently
recognized
as
is
manifest

Commandment

shalt
thou

SACERDOTALIST

SACRAMENT
n
A

to

SANDLOTTER
n
A
vertebrate
mammal
holding
the
political
views
of
Denis
Kearney
a
notorious
demagogue
of
San
Francisco
whose
audiences
gathered
in
the
open
spaces
sandlots
of
the
town
True
to
the
traditions
of
his
species
this
leader
of
the
proletariat
was
finally
bought
off
by
his
law
and

enemies
living
prosperously
silent

But
before
his
treason
he
imposed
upon
California
a

that
was
a
confection
of
sin
in
a
diction
of
solecisms
The
similarity
between
the
words
sandlotter
and
sansculotte
is
problematically
significant

indubitably
suggestive

Once
I
seen
a
human
ruin
In
an
elevator
well
And
his
members
was
bestrewin
All
the
place
where
he
had
fell
And
I
says
apostrophisin
That
uncommon
woful
wreck
Your
position
s
so
surprisin
That
I
tremble
for
your

Then
that
ruin
smilin
sadly
And
impressive
up
and
spoke
Well
I
wouldn
t
tremble
badly
For
it
s
been
a
fortnight
broke
Then
for
further
comprehension
Of
his
attitude
he
begs
I
will
focus
my
attention
On
his
various
arms
and
legs
How
they
all
are
contumacious
Where
they
each
respective
lie
How
one
trotter
proves
ungracious
T
other
one
an
alibi
These
particulars
is
mentioned
For
to
show
his
dismal
state
Which
I

relate
None
is
worser
to
be

That
I
ever
have
heard

Than
the
gent
s
who
there
was
spreaded
In
that
elevator
well
Now
this
tale
is
allegoric
It
is
figurative
all
For
the
well
is
metaphoric
And
the
feller
didn

fall
I
opine
it
isn

For

to

And

to

As

And

think
that
in
introducing
it
they
are
occupying
a
neglected
field
of
letters
and
reaping
an
overlooked
harvest
If
they
have
the
misfortune
to
live
long
enough
they
are
tormented
with
a
desire

Being

Halfway
in

paused
bent

SCARIFICATION
n
A
form
of
penance
practised
by
the
mediaeval
pious
The
rite
was
performed
sometimes
with
a
knife
sometimes
with
a
hot
iron
but
always
says
Arsenius
Asceticus
acceptably
if
the
penitent
spared
himself
no
pain
nor
harmless
disfigurement
Scarification
with
other
crude
penances
has
now
been
superseded
by
benefaction
The
founding
of
a
library
or
endowment
of
a
university
is
said
to
yield
to
the
penitent
a
sharper
and
more
lasting
pain
than
is
conferred
by
the
knife
or
iron
and
is
therefore
a
surer
means
of
grace
There
are
however
two
grave
objections
to
it
as
a
penitential
method
the
good
that
it
does
and
the
taint
of
justice
SCEPTER

It
was

SCIMETAR
n
A
curved
sword
of
exceeding
keenness
in
the
conduct
of
which
certain
Orientals
attain
a
surprising
proficiency
as
the
incident
here
related
will
serve
to
show
The
account
is
translated
from
the
Japanese
by
Shusi
Itama
a
famous
writer
of
the
thirteenth
century
When
the
great
Gichi
Kuktai
was
Mikado
he
condemned
to
decapitation
Jijiji
Ri
a
high
officer
of
the
Court
Soon
after
the
hour
appointed
for
performance
of
the
rite
what
was
his
Majesty
s
surprise
to
see
calmly
approaching
the
throne
the
man
who
should
have
been
at
that
time
ten
minutes
dead
Seventeen
hundred
impossible
dragons
shouted
the
enraged
monarch
Did
I
not
sentence
you
to
stand
in
the
market
place
and
have
your
head
struck
off
by
the
public
executioner
at
three
o
clock
And
is
it
not
now
Son
of
a
thousand
illustrious
deities
answered
the
condemned
minister
all
that
you
say
is
so
true
that
the
truth
is
a
lie
in
comparison
But
your
heavenly
Majesty
s
sunny
and
vitalizing
wishes
have
been
pestilently
disregarded
With
joy
I
ran
and
placed
my
unworthy
body
in
the
market
place
The
executioner
appeared
with
his
bare
scimetar
ostentatiously
whirled
it
in
air
and
then
tapping
me
lightly
upon
the
neck
strode
away
pelted
by
the
populace
with
whom
I
was
ever
a
favorite
I
am
come
to
pray
for
justice
upon
his
own
dishonorable
and
treasonous
head
To
what
regiment
of
executioners
does
the
black
boweled
caitiff
belong
asked
the
Mikado
To
the
gallant
Ninety
eight
Hundred
and
Thirty
seventh
I
know
the
man
His
name
is
Sakko
Samshi
Let
him
be
brought
before
me
said
the
Mikado
to
an
attendant
and
a
half
hour
later
the
culprit
stood
in
the
Presence
Thou
bastard
son
of
a
three
legged
hunchback
without
thumbs
roared
the
sovereign
why
didst
thou
but
lightly
tap
the
neck
that
it
should
have
been
thy
pleasure
to
sever
Lord
of
Cranes
of
Cherry
Blooms
replied
the
executioner
unmoved
command
him
to
blow
his
nose
with
his
fingers
Being
commanded
Jijiji
Ri
laid
hold
of
his
nose
and
trumpeted
like
an
elephant
all
expecting
to
see
the
severed
head
flung
violently
from
him
Nothing
occurred
the
performance
prospered
peacefully
to
the
close
without
incident
All
eyes
were
now
turned
on
the
executioner
who
had
grown
as
white
as
the
snows
on
the
summit
of
Fujiama
His
legs
trembled
and
his
breath
came
in
gasps
of
terror
Several
kinds
of
spike
tailed
brass
lions
he
cried
I
am
a
ruined
and
disgraced
swordsman
I
struck
the
villain
feebly
because
in
flourishing
the
scimetar
I
had
accidentally
passed
it
through
my
own
neck
Father
of
the
Moon
I
resign
my
office
So
saying
he
gasped
his
top
knot
lifted
off
his
head
and
advancing
to
the
throne
laid
it
humbly
at
the
Mikado
s
feet

Sometimes
it

stamped
upon
wax
and
attached
to

Sealing
in
this
sense
is
a
survival
of
an
ancient
custom
of
inscribing
important
papers
with
cabalistic
words

to
give
them
a
magical
efficacy
independent
of
the
authority
that
they
represent
In

of

character
validated

necromantic
pentagrams
and
other
devices
frequently
initial

words

conjure
with
and
in
many
instances
these
are
attached

way
that
seals
are
appended
now
As
nearly
every
reasonless
and
apparently
meaningless
custom
rite
or
observance
of
modern
times
had
origin
in
some
remote
utility
it
is
pleasing
to
note
an
example
of
ancient
nonsense
evolving
in
the
process
of
ages
into
something
really
useful
Our
word
sincere
is
derived
from
sine
cero
without
wax
but
the
learned
are
not
in
agreement
as
to
whether
this
refers
to
the
absence
of
the
cabalistic
signs
or
to
that
of
the
wax
with
which
letters
were
formerly
closed
from
public
scrutiny
Either
view
of
the
matter
will
serve
one
in
immediate
need

The
late
James
F
Bowman
was
writing
a
serial
tale
for
a
weekly
paper
in
collaboration
with
a
genius
whose
name
has
not

wrote
not
jointly
but
alternately
Bowman
supplying

for

so

hoped
Unfortunately
they
quarreled

one
Monday
morning
when
Bowman
read
the
paper
to

himself
for

task
he
found
his
work
cut
out

him

The

SORCERY
n
The
ancient
prototype
and
forerunner
of
political
influence
It
was
however
deemed
less
respectable
and
sometimes
was
punished
by
torture
and
death
Augustine
Nicholas
relates
that
a
poor
peasant
who
had
been
accused
of
sorcery
was
put
to
the
torture
to
compel
a
confession
After
enduring
a
few
gentle
agonies
the
suffering
simpleton
admitted
his
guilt
but
naively
asked
his
tormentors
if
it
were
not
possible
to
be
a
sorcerer
without
knowing
it
SOUL
n
A
spiritual
entity
concerning
which
there
hath
been
brave
disputation
Plato
held
that
those
souls
which
in
a
previous
state
of
existence
antedating
Athens
had
obtained
the
clearest
glimpses
of
eternal
truth
entered
into
the
bodies
of
persons
who
became
philosophers
Plato
himself
was
a
philosopher
The
souls
that
had
least
contemplated
divine
truth
animated
the
bodies
of
usurpers
and
despots
Dionysius
I
who
had
threatened
to
decapitate
the
broad
browed
philosopher
was
a
usurper
and
a
despot
Plato
doubtless
was
not
the
first
to
construct
a
system
of
philosophy
that
could
be
quoted
against
his
enemies
certainly
he
was
not
the
last
Concerning
the
nature
of
the
soul
saith
the
renowned
author
of
Diversiones
Sanctorum
there
hath
been
hardly
more
argument
than
that
of
its
place
in
the
body
Mine
own
belief
is
that
the
soul
hath
her
seat
in
the
abdomen
in
which
faith
we
may
discern
and
interpret
a
truth
hitherto
unintelligible
namely
that
the
glutton
is
of
all
men
most
devout
He
is
said
in
the
Scripture
to
make
a
god
of
his
belly
why
then
should
he
not
be
pious
having
ever
his
Deity
with
him
to
freshen
his
faith
Who
so
well
as
he
can
know
the
might
and
majesty
that
he
shrines
Truly
and
soberly
the
soul
and
the
stomach
are
one
Divine
Entity
and
such
was
the
belief
of
Promasius
who
nevertheless
erred
in
denying
it
immortality
He
had
observed
that
its
visible
and
material
substance
failed
and
decayed
with
the
rest
of
the
body
after
death
but
of
its
immaterial
essence
he
knew
nothing
This
is
what
we
call
the
Appetite
and
it
survives
the
wreck
and
reek
of
mortality
to
be
rewarded
or
punished
in
another
world
according
to
what
it
hath
demanded
in
the
flesh
The
Appetite
whose
coarse
clamoring
was
for
the
unwholesome
viands
of
the
general
market
and
the
public
refectory
shall
be
cast
into
eternal
famine
whilst
that
which
firmly
through
civilly
insisted
on
ortolans
caviare
terrapin
anchovies
pates
de
foie
gras
and
all
such
Christian
comestibles
shall
flesh
its
spiritual
tooth
in
the
souls
of
them
forever
and
ever
and
wreak
its
divine
thirst
upon
the
immortal
parts
of
the
rarest
and
richest
wines
ever
quaffed
here
below
Such
is
my
religious
faith
though
I
grieve
to
confess
that
neither
His
Holiness
the
Pope
nor
His
Grace
the
Archbishop
of
Canterbury
whom
I
equally
and
profoundly
revere
will
assent
to
its
dissemination
SPOOKER

STORY
n
A
narrative
commonly
untrue
The
truth
of
the
stories
here
following
has
however
not
been
successfully
impeached
One
evening
Mr
Rudolph
Block
of
New
York
found
himself
seated
at
dinner
alongside
Mr
Percival
Pollard
the
distinguished
critic
Mr
Pollard
said
he
my
book
The
Biography
of
a
Dead
Cow
is
published
anonymously
but
you
can
hardly
be
ignorant
of
its
authorship
Yet
in
reviewing
it
you
speak
of
it
as
the
work
of
the
Idiot
of
the
Century
Do
you
think
that
fair
criticism
I
am
very
sorry
sir
replied
the
critic
amiably
but
it
did
not
occur
to
me
that
you
really
might
not
wish
the
public
to
know
who
wrote
it
Mr
W
C
Morrow
who
used
to
live
in
San
Jose
California
was
addicted
to
writing
ghost
stories
which
made
the
reader
feel
as
if
a
stream
of
lizards
fresh
from
the
ice
were
streaking
it
up
his
back
and
hiding
in
his
hair
San
Jose
was
at
that
time
believed
to
be
haunted
by
the
visible
spirit
of
a
noted
bandit
named
Vasquez
who
had
been
hanged
there
The
town
was
not
very
well
lighted
and
it
is
putting
it
mildly
to
say
that
San
Jose
was
reluctant
to
be
out
o
nights
One
particularly
dark
night
two
gentlemen
were
abroad
in
the
loneliest
spot
within
the
city
limits
talking
loudly
to
keep
up
their
courage
when
they
came
upon
Mr
J
J
Owen
a
well
known
journalist
Why
Owen
said
one
what
brings
you
here
on
such
a
night
as
this
You
told
me
that
this
is
one
of
Vasquez
favorite
haunts
And
you
are
a
believer
Aren
t
you
afraid
to
be
out
My
dear
fellow
the
journalist
replied
with
a
drear
autumnal
cadence
in
his
speech
like
the
moan
of
a
leaf
laden
wind
I
am
afraid
to
be
in
I
have
one
of
Will
Morrow

Rear
Admiral
Schley
and
Representative
Charles
F
Joy
were
standing
near
the
Peace
Monument
in
Washington
discussing
the
question
Is
success
a
failure
Mr
Joy
suddenly
broke
off
in
the
middle
of
an
eloquent
sentence
exclaiming
Hello
I
ve
heard
that
band
before
Santlemann
s
I
think
I
don

hear
any
band
said
Schley
Come
to
think
I
don

either
said
Joy
but
I
see
General
Miles
coming
down
the
avenue
and
that
pageant
always
affects
me
in
the
same
way
as
a
brass
band

has
to
scrutinize
one
s
impressions
pretty
closely
or
one
will
mistake
their
origin
While
the
Admiral
was
digesting
this
hasty
meal
of
philosophy
General
Miles
passed
in
review
a
spectacle
of
impressive
dignity
When
the
tail
of
the
seeming
procession
had
passed
and
the
two
observers
had
recovered
from
the
transient
blindness
caused
by
its
effulgence
He
seems
to
be
enjoying
himself
said
the
Admiral
There
is
nothing
assented
Joy
thoughtfully
that
he
enjoys
one
half
so
well
The
illustrious
statesman
Champ
Clark
once
lived
about
a
mile
from
the
village
of
Jebigue
in
Missouri
One
day
he
rode
into
town
on
a
favorite
mule
and
hitching
the
beast
on
the
sunny
side
of
a
street
in
front
of
a
saloon
he
went
inside
in
his
character
of
teetotaler
to
apprise
the
barkeeper
that
wine
is
a
mocker
It
was
a
dreadfully
hot
day
Pretty
soon
a
neighbor
came
in
and
seeing
Clark
said
Champ
it
is
not
right
to
leave
that
mule
out
there
in
the
sun
He
ll
roast
sure
he
was
smoking
as
I
passed
him
O
he
s
all
right
said
Clark
lightly
he
s
an
inveterate
smoker
The
neighbor
took
a
lemonade
but
shook
his
head
and
repeated
that
it
was
not
right
He
was
a
conspirator
There
had
been
a
fire
the
night
before
a
stable
just
around
the
corner
had
burned
and
a
number
of
horses
had
put
on
their
immortality
among
them
a
young
colt
which
was
roasted
to
a
rich
nut
brown
Some
of
the
boys
had
turned
Mr
Clark
s
mule
loose
and
substituted
the
mortal
part
of
the
colt
Presently
another
man
entered
the
saloon
For
mercy
s
sake
he
said
taking
it
with
sugar
do
remove
that
mule
barkeeper
it
smells
Yes
interposed
Clark
that
animal
has
the
best
nose
in
Missouri
But
if
he
doesn
t
mind
you
shouldn
t
In
the
course
of
human
events
Mr
Clark
went
out
and
there
apparently
lay
the
incinerated
and
shrunken
remains
of
his
charger
The
boys
did
not
have
any
fun
out
of
Mr
Clarke
who
looked
at
the
body
and
with
the
non
committal
expression
to
which
he
owes
so
much
of
his
political
preferment
went
away
But
walking
home
late
that
night
he
saw
his
mule
standing
silent
and
solemn
by
the
wayside
in
the
misty
moonlight
Mentioning
the
name
of
Helen
Blazes
with
uncommon
emphasis
Mr
Clark
took
the
back
track
as
hard
as
ever
he
could
hook
it
and
passed
the
night
in
town

with

look
got
down
on

in
the
manner

kind
and
scuffling
across
the
room
to
a
table
returned
with
a
visiting
card
General
Barry
had
called
and
judging
by
an
empty
champagne
bottle
and
several
cigar
stumps
had
been
hospitably
entertained
while
waiting
The
general
apologized
to
his
faithful
progenitor
and
retired
The
next
day
he
met
General
Barry
who
said
Spoon
old
man
when
leaving
you
last
evening
I
forgot
to
ask
you
about
those
excellent
cigars
Where
did
you
get
them
General
Wotherspoon
did
not
deign
to
reply
but
walked
away
Pardon
me
please
said
Barry
moving
after
him
I
was
joking
of

Why
I
knew
it
was
not

SUFFRAGE
n
Expression
of

The
right
of
suffrage

to
be
both
a
privilege
and
a
duty
means
as
commonly
interpreted
the
right
to

for
the

highly

Refusal
to
do
so
has
the
bad
name
of
incivism
The
incivilian
however
cannot
be
properly
arraigned
for
his
crime
for
there
is
no
legitimate
accuser
If
the
accuser
is
himself
guilty
he
has
no
standing
in
the
court
of
opinion

not
he

By
female
suffrage
is
meant
the
right
of
a
woman
to
vote
as
some
man
tells
her

It
is
based
on
female
responsibility
which
is
somewhat
limited
The

eager

jump
out
of

SYCOPHANT
n
One
who
approaches
Greatness
on

so
that
he
may
not
be
commanded
to
turn

He
is
sometimes
an

As
the
lean

its

found
is
pleased
To

itself
upon

diseased
Till
its
black
hide
distended
with
bad

It
drops
to
die
of
surfeit
in
the

So
the
base
sycophant
with
joy
descries
His
neighbor
s
weak
spot
and
his
mouth
applies
Gorges
and
prospers
like
the

Unlike

And

May

Something

Many

mere

things

any

continue
to
exist
because
we
have
inherited
the

They
were
once
real
urns

TAIL
n
The

up
an
independent
existence
in
a

Man
is
without
a

a
privation
of

he
attests
an
hereditary
and
uneasy
consciousness
by
the
coat

of
the
male
and
the
train
of
the
female
and
by
a
marked
tendency
to
ornament
that
part
of
his
attire
where
the
tail
should
be

indubitably
once
was
This
tendency
is

observable

TECHNICALITY
n
In
an
English
court
a
man
named
Home
was
tried
for
slander
in
having
accused
his
neighbor
of
murder
His
exact
words
were
Sir

the
head
so
that
one
side
of
the
head
fell
upon
one
shoulder
and
the
other
side
upon
the
other
shoulder
The
defendant
was
acquitted
by
instruction
of
the
court

learned
judges
holding
that
the
words
did
not
charge
murder
for
they

TENACITY
n
A
certain
quality
of
the
human
hand
in
its
relation
to
the
coin
of
the
realm
It
attains
its
highest
development
in
the
hand
of
authority
and
is
considered
a
serviceable
equipment
for
a
career
in
politics
The
following
illustrative
lines
were
written
of
a
Californian
gentleman
in
high
political
preferment
who
has
passed
to
his
accounting
Of
such
tenacity
his
grip
That
nothing
from
his
hand
can
slip
Well
buttered
eels

In

from
his
detaining
pinch
They
cannot
struggle
half
an
inch
Tis
lucky
that
he
so
is
planned
That
breath
he
draws
not
with
his
hand
For
if
he
did
so
great
his
greed
He
d
draw
his
last

eager

THEOSOPHY
n
An
ancient
faith
having
all
the
certitude
of
religion
and
all
the
mystery
of
science
The
modern
Theosophist
holds
with
the
Buddhists
that
we
live
an
incalculable
number
of
times
on
this
earth
in
as
many
several
bodies
because
one
life
is
not
long
enough
for
our
complete
spiritual
development
that
is
a
single
lifetime
does
not
suffice
for
us
to
become
as
wise
and
good
as
we
choose
to
wish
to
become
To
be
absolutely
wise
and
good
that
is
perfection
and
the
Theosophist
is
so
keen
sighted
as
to
have
observed
that
everything
desirous
of
improvement
eventually
attains
perfection
Less
competent
observers
are
disposed
to
except
cats
which
seem
neither
wiser
nor
better
than
they
were

TIGHTS
n
An
habiliment
of
the
stage
designed
to
reinforce
the
general
acclamation
of
the
press
agent
with
a
particular
publicity
Public
attention
was
once
somewhat
diverted
from
this
garment
to
Miss
Lillian
Russell
s
refusal
to
wear
it
and
many
were
the
conjectures
as
to
her
motive
the
guess
of
Miss
Pauline
Hall
showing
a
high
order
of
ingenuity
and
sustained
reflection
It
was
Miss
Hall
s
belief
that
nature
had
not
endowed
Miss
Russell
with
beautiful
legs
This
theory
was
impossible
of
acceptance
by
the
male
understanding
but
the
conception
of
a
faulty
female
leg
was
of
so
prodigious
originality
as
to
rank
among
the
most
brilliant
feats
of
philosophical
speculation
It
is
strange
that
in
all
the
controversy
regarding
Miss
Russell
s
aversion
to
tights
no
one
seems
to
have
thought
to
ascribe
it
to
what
was
known
among
the
ancients
as
modesty
The
nature
of
that
sentiment
is
now
imperfectly
understood
and
possibly
incapable
of
exposition
with
the
vocabulary
that
remains
to
us
The
study
of
lost
arts
has
however
been
recently
revived
and
some
of
the
arts
themselves
recovered
This
is
an
epoch
of
renaissances
and
there
is
ground
for
hope
that
the
primitive
blush
may
be
dragged
from
its
hiding
place
amongst
the
tombs
of
antiquity
and
hissed
on
to
the
stage

A
tall
vegetable
intended
by
nature
to
serve
as
a
penal
apparatus
though
through
a
miscarriage
of
justice
most
trees
bear
only
a
negligible
fruit
or
none
at
all
When
naturally
fruited
the
tree
is
a
beneficient
agency
of
civilization
and
an
important
factor
in
public
morals
In
the
stern
West
and
the
sensitive
South
its
fruit
white
and
black
respectively
though
not
eaten
is
agreeable
to
the
public
taste
and
though
not
exported
profitable
to
the
general
welfare
That
the
legitimate
relation
of
the
tree
to
justice
was
no
discovery
of
Judge
Lynch
who
indeed
conceded
it
no
primacy
over
the
lamp
post
and
the
bridge
girder
is
made
plain
by
the
following
passage
from
Morryster
who
antedated
him
by
two
centuries
While

I
was

TRIAL
n
A
formal
inquiry
designed
to
prove
and
put
upon
record
the
blameless
characters
of
judges
advocates
and
jurors
In
order
to
effect
this
purpose
it
is
necessary
to
supply
a
contrast
in
the
person
of
one
who
is
called
the
defendant
the
prisoner
or
the
accused
If
the
contrast
is
made
sufficiently
clear
this
person
is
made
to
undergo
such
an
affliction
as
will
give
the
virtuous
gentlemen
a
comfortable
sense
of
their
immunity
added
to
that
of
their
worth
In
our
day
the
accused
is
usually
a
human
being
or
a
socialist
but
in
mediaeval
times
animals
fishes
reptiles
and
insects
were
brought
to
trial
A
beast
that
had
taken
human
life
or
practiced
sorcery
was
duly
arrested
tried
and
if
condemned
put
to
death
by
the
public
executioner
Insects
ravaging
grain
fields
orchards
or
vineyards
were
cited
to
appeal
by
counsel
before
a
civil
tribunal
and
after
testimony
argument
and
condemnation
if
they
continued
in
contumaciam
the
matter
was
taken
to
a
high
ecclesiastical
court
where
they
were
solemnly
excommunicated
and
anathematized
In
a
street
of
Toledo
some
pigs
that
had
wickedly
run
between
the
viceroy
s
legs
upsetting
him
were
arrested
on
a
warrant
tried
and
punished
In
Naples
and
ass
was
condemned
to
be
burned
at
the
stake
but
the
sentence
appears
not
to
have
been
executed
D
Addosio
relates
from
the
court
records
many
trials
of
pigs
bulls
horses
cocks
dogs
goats
etc
greatly
it
is
believed
to
the
betterment
of
their
conduct
and
morals
In
a
suit
was
brought
against
the
leeches
infesting
some
ponds
about
Berne
and
the
Bishop
of
Lausanne
instructed
by
the
faculty
of
Heidelberg
University
directed
that
some
of
the
aquatic
worms
be
brought
before
the
local
magistracy
This
was
done
and
the
leeches
both
present
and
absent
were
ordered
to
leave
the
places
that
they
had
infested
within
three
days
on
pain
of
incurring
the
malediction
of
God
In
the
voluminous
records
of
this
cause
celebre
nothing
is
found
to
show
whether
the
offenders
braved
the
punishment
or
departed
forthwith
out
of
that
inhospitable
jurisdiction
TRICHINOSIS
n
The
pig
s
reply
to
proponents
of
porcophagy
Moses
Mendlessohn
having
fallen
ill
sent
for
a
Christian
physician
who
at
once
diagnosed
the
philosopher
s
disorder
as
trichinosis
but
tactfully
gave
it
another
name
You
need
and
immediate
change
of
diet
he
said
you
must
eat
six
ounces
of
pork
every
other

Pork
shrieked

patient
pork
Nothing
shall
induce
me
to

you

gravely

TRINITY
n
In
the
multiplex
theism
of
certain
Christian
churches
three
entirely
distinct
deities
consistent
with
only
one
Subordinate
deities
of
the
polytheistic
faith
such
as
devils
and
angels
are
not
dowered
with
the
power
of
combination
and
must
urge
individually
their
claims
to
adoration
and
propitiation
The
Trinity
is
one
of
the
most
sublime
mysteries
of
our
holy
religion
In
rejecting
it
because
it
is
incomprehensible
Unitarians
betray
their
inadequate
sense
of
theological
fundamentals
In
religion
we
believe
only
what
we
do
not
understand
except
in
the
instance
of
an
intelligible
doctrine
that
contradicts
an
incomprehensible
one
In
that
case
we
believe
the
former
as
a
part
of
the

U
UBIQUITY
n
The
gift
or
power
of
being
in
all
places
at
one
time
but
not
in
all
places
at
all
times
which
is
omnipresence
an
attribute
of
God
and
the
luminiferous
ether
only
This
important
distinction
between
ubiquity
and
omnipresence
was
not
clear
to
the
mediaeval
Church
and
there
was
much
bloodshed
about
it
Certain
Lutherans
who
affirmed
the
presence
everywhere
of
Christ
s
body
were
known
as
Ubiquitarians
For
this
error
they
were
doubtless
damned
for
Christ
s
body
is
present
only
in
the
eucharist
though
that
sacrament
may
be
performed
in
more
than
one
place
simultaneously
In
recent
times
ubiquity
has
not
always
been
understood
not
even
by
Sir
Boyle
Roche
for
example
who
held
that
a
man
cannot
be
in
two
places
at
once
unless
he
is
a
bird

O

told
them
that
their
captive
was
undoubtedly
a

and
had
resumed
