Pagina 26 - This operator did his office after a different manner from those of his trade in Europe. He first took my altitude by a quadrant, and then, with rule and compasses, described the dimensions and outlines of my whole body, all which he entered upon paper, and in six days brought my clothes very ill made, and quite out of shape, by happening to mistake a figure in the calculation.

His fault escapes exposure, because it is mistaken for an excellence, and will surely be copied more than all his excellences, as being easier to copy. Thus, like an ill-going townclock, he may mislead a whole village. On the other hand, a teacher of genuine culture, totus teres atque rotundus, — factus ad unguem, will by no...
Pagina 3 - And He called unto Him His disciples, and saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That this poor Widow hath cast more in, than all they which have cast into the Treasury : For all they did cast in of their abundance ; but she of her want did cast in all that she had, even all her living.
