A. But in this, as in other sciences, when the truth has been reached it can generally be presented in a comparatively simple form, and the main positions can be justified even to the general reader by methods much less complicated, and much more lucid, than those originally followed by the investigators themselves. B. Historical criticism is a comparatively modern science, and in its application to this, as to other histories, it has made many false and uncertain steps. C. The process of disentangling the twisted skein of tradition is necessarily a very delicate and complicated one, and involves certain operations for which special scholarship is indispensable. D. The modern view has been reached by a mass of investigations and discussions of which no satisfactory general account has ever been laid before the English reader.

A. They borrow all helps from poetry and eloquence, and treat their subject in an easy and obvious manner, and such as is best fitted to please the imagination, and engage the affections. B. The one considers man chiefly as born for action; and as influenced in his measures by taste and sentiment; pursuing one object, and avoiding another, according to the value which these objects seem to possess, and according to the light in which they present themselves. C. As virtue, of all objects, is allowed to be the most valuable, this species of philosophers paint her in the most amiable colours. D. They select the most striking observations and instances from common life; place opposite characters in a proper contrast; and alluring us into the paths of virtue by the views of glory and happiness, direct our steps in these paths by the soundest precepts and most illustrious examples. E. They make us feel the difference between vice and virtue; they excite and regulate our sentiments; and so they can but bend our hearts to the love of probity and true honour, they hink, that they have fully attained the end of all their labours.

A. They ravaged in Neustria as they ravaged in England; and a large part of the northern coast, including the mouth of the Seine, was given by Charles the Bald to Rolf or Rollo, one of their leaders, whose land became known as the Northman land, or Normandy. B. He and his family became Counts (i.e., judges and protectors) of Paris, and Dukes (or leaders) of the Franks. C. What most checked the ravages of these pirates was the resistance of Paris, a town which commanded the road along the river Seine; and it was in defending the city of Paris from the Northmen, that a warrior named Robert the Strong gained the trust and affection of the inhabitants of the Neustrian kingdom. D. Three generations of them were really great men-Robert the Strong, Odo, and Hugh the White; and when the descendants of Charles the Great had died out, a Duke of the Franks, Hugh Capet, was in 987 crowned King of the Franks. E. The great danger which this Neustrian kingdom had to meet came from the Northmen, or as they were called in England the Danes.

A. The most perfect character is supposed to lie between those extremes; retaining an equal ability and taste for books, company and business. B. In order to diffuse and cultivate so accomplished a character, nothing can be more useful than compositions of the easy style and manner which draw not too much from life, require no deep application or retreat to be comprehended and send back the student among mankind full of noble sentiments and wise precepts, applicable to every exigency of human life. C. It preserves in conversation that discernment and delicacy, which arise from polite letters; and in business, that probity and accuracy which are the natural result of a just philosophy. D.

A. Aside from being a juridical phenomenon, which it would be well to examine by itself, every crime is above all a natural and social phenomenon and should be studied primarily as such. B. When the German legislator concluded to make no distinction between incomplete and attempted crime and to recognise only the completed crime in his code of 1871, we witnessed the spectacle of Carrara praising that legislator for leaving that subtle distinction out of his code. C. Crime has its natural causes, which lie outside of that mathematical point called the free will of the criminal. D. We need not go through so hard a course of study merely for the purpose of walking over the razor edge of juristic definitions and to find out, for instance, that from the time Romagnosi made a distinction between incomplete and attempted crime rivers of ink have been spilled in the attempt to find the distinguishing elements of these two degrees of crime.

A. Mere physical growing up, mere mastery of the bare necessities of subsistence will not suffice to reproduce the life of the group.
B. With the growth of civilization, the gap between the original capacities of the immature and the standards and customs of the elders increases. C. On the other hand, there is the necessity that these immature members be not merely physically preserved in adequate numbers, but that they be initiated into the interests, purposes, information, skill, and practices of the mature members: otherwise the group will cease its characteristic life. D. Even in a savage tribe, the achievements of adults are far beyond what the immature members would be capable of if left to themselves. E. The primary ineluctable facts of the birth and death of each one of the constituent members in a social group determine the necessity of education. F. On one hand, there is the contrast between the immaturity of the new-born members of the group -- its future sole representatives -- and the maturity of the adult members who possess the knowledge and customs of the group.

The immense preparations which so distant an enterprise required, the enormous quantities of provisions and ammunition collecting, the noise of arms, of carriages, and the march of such numbers of soldiers - the universal movement the majestic and terrible course of all the forces of the West against the East - every thing announced to Europe that her two colossuses were about to measure their strength with each other. B. But, to get within reach of Russia, it was necessary to go beyond Austria, to cross Prussia, and to march between Sweden and Turkey; an offensive alliance with these four powers was therefore indispensable. C. With feelings of this kind, her leader, influenced by his position, and urged on by his enterprising character, filled his imagination with the vast project of becoming the sole master of Europe, by overwhelming Russia, and wresting Poland from her dominion. D. He had so much difficulty in concealing this project that hints of it began to escape him in all directions. E. Austria was as much subject to the influence of Napoleon as Prussia was to his arms: to them he had only to declare his intentions; Austria voluntarily and eagerly entered into his plans, and Prussia he easily prevailed on to join him.

And this condition, instead of being a glorious but transitory stage, is supposed to be the end of the development of humanity, which is henceforth condemned not to perfect itself any more by further changes. D. We have seen that freedom of thought in science, literature and art, for which the bourgeoisie fought, triumphed over the tyranny of the mediaeval dogma. E. While the geocentric and anthropocentric illusions have been dispelled, the illusion of the immobility and eternity of classes still persists.

Tattoo marks may disappear during life; the brighter colours, as vermilion, as a rule, more readily than those made with carbon, as Indian ink. C. The medical man may in such cases be consulted as to family resemblance, marks on the body, scars and tattoo marks, or with regard to the organs of generation in cases of doubtful sex. D. It is but seldom that medical evidence is required with regard to the identification of the living, though it may sometimes be so. E. If the tattooing is superficial (merely underneath the cuticle) the marks may possibly be removed by acetic acid or cantharides or even by picking out the colouring-matter with a fine needle.

Indeed, upon whatever part of our sphere we cast our eyes, whether it be upon the frozen climates of the north, upon the parching regions of the south, or under the more temperate zones, we every where behold the people when assailed by misfortunes, have either made to themselves national gods, or else have adopted those which have been given them by their conquerors. D. Before these beings, either of their own creation or adoption, they have tremblingly prostrated themselves in the hour of calamity, soliciting relief; have ignorantly attributed to blocks of stone, or to men like themselves, those natural effects which were above their comprehension.

The natural sciences have been more neglected in this country in the last fifty years, and that is saying a good deal. C. All those who trade on the ignorance and prejudices of the public are having a good time and often employ it in writing the most appalling rubbish in reference to the important subject of nutrition. D. Diminishing energy and power, decreasing endurance, slowing circulation, lessening blood colour, falling temperature, altered blood pressure, enlarging heart and liver, are some of the most obvious signs with which the physician is brought into contact in such cases.

Many of the immigrants to America in colonial days were capitalists themselves, in a small or a large way, and paid their own passage. C. What proportion of the colonists were able to finance their voyage across the sea is a matter of pure conjecture. D. Undoubtedly a very considerable number could do so, for we can trace the family fortunes of many early settlers. E.

A. In this, as in many similar instances, we see the beneficial influence of extensive travel in freeing mind of Darwin from prevailing prejudices. B. It was this widening of experience which rendered him so especially qualified to deal with the great problem of the origin of species. C. And in doing so he emancipated himself from ideas which were received with unquestioning faith by geologists whose studies had been circumscribed within the limits of Western Europe. D. In opposition to prevalent views on this subject, Darwin points out that his observations are opposed to the conclusion that a higher temperature prevailed universally over the globe during early geological periods. E. He argues that "the causes which gave to the older tertiary productions of the quite temperate zones of Europe a tropical character, were of a local character and did not affect the whole globe."

A. Nothing is more usual and more natural for those, who pretend to discover anything new to the world in philosophy and the sciences, than to insinuate the praises of their own systems, by decrying all those, which have been advanced before them. B. It is easy for one of judgment and learning, to perceive the weak foundation even of those systems, which have obtained the greatest credit, and have carried their pretensions highest to accurate and profound reasoning. C. Principles taken upon trust, consequences lamely deduced from them, want of coherence in the parts, and of evidence in the whole, these are every where to be met with in the systems of the most eminent philosophers, and seem to have drawn disgrace upon philosophy itself. D. Nor is there required such profound knowledge to discover the present imperfect condition of the sciences. E. There is nothing which is not the subject of debate, and in which men of learning are not of contrary opinions.
