… 504 Old Price's Remains, GRAVIORA. Adversaria on the Greek Testament. The following notes on the Verb Substantive " hfu to be," would have appeared sooner if I had found them. I think the subject a very important one, capable of affecting many statements of vital consequence, if not the whole of truth as expressed or expressible in language. A question about words is, necessarily, an idle ques¬ tion, only when it is mistaken for…

… Graviora. 5°5 Thus, " Omnia praeclara rara," could only mean " All illustrious things are rare :' and, therefore, sunt is dispensed with; as it commonly is, in adages. In all the above texts, even if ecru were absent from half of them, (as it is actually from one only,) it must, I believe, be translated " this is my body," and the only question can be whether the expression is literally, or only…

… 506 Old Price s Remains. (there is), are the only exceptions I can think of. But, how well babies get on without it! " Baby good," " baby tired," &c, are understood by every one ; which proves that, even in English, this habit of constantly inserting it, is merely idiomatical, and not essential. I afterwards (i.e., about February 14, 184-8) learnt that, in parables, as Matt xiii. 37-39 ; or in symbols, as…

… Graviora. 5°7 or framed, to support such a practice (most plausibly, at first sight) will, I believe, all turn out to be conven¬ tional abridgments, where the mind readily supplies the ellipsis, or apprehends the irony, without note or com¬ ment. An actor may say, " / am Hamlet to-night:" when " Hamlet" evidently means one dressed and speaking as Hamlet: and it is superfluous to look for any strange meaning in the verb…

And again : The Son of man really is the (above- named) " sower ?" " More reasonable," I…

… 482 WALES. rejoice in the realisation of so many dreams of the past. The mass of the Welsh people will not be touched directly by University or intermediate school. The best system of University extension will be practically useless without strong local help. As before, the chief power in the intellectual advancement of Wales will be the voluntary worker,—minister or doctor or tradesman or farmer,—who has the time and the ability to lead his…

… A NEW POWER IN WALES. 483 it would soon, I venture to predict, be an honour keenly sought after. Some subject in Welsh literature, in astronomy, in education, or even in philosophy or theology, might be selected, for example, as the subject of a paper and of a discussion. A variety of papers might be read on the day or days of meeting, in order that each member might have a subject that interests…

… THE SCHOOLMISTRESS OF CERDYN. II. — GWEN. ON Saturday afternoon the school¬ mistress, according to her wont, started for a walk. Her goal was a solitary- cottage on the hillside, away from the dust and tumult of the town. During her early days in Cerdyn her rambles had often led her past this cottage, stone-built and grey- slated like its prototypes in the village. It stood somewhat back from the road,…

As they drew near, the schoolmistress was aware of an old woman standing in the doorway, who greeted their approach with a loud exclamation in Welsh, and burst forth with a torrent of speech, her voice…

" Yes; only the two he has. Buried his wife two years next Christmas." The schoolmistress expected to see the apron again brought into use at this intelligence, but instead, the old woman began busying herself with her…
