(c) In England we are said to learn manners at secondhand from your side of the water, and that we dress our behaviour in the frippery of France. If so, we are still in the old cut.

(d) Sacrilege and proscription are not among the ways and means in our committee of supply. The Jews in Change Alley have not yet dared to hint their hopes of a mortgage on the revenues belonging to the see of Canterbury.

(e) If this was true of Cato, these gentlemen copy after him in the manner of some persons who lived about his time-pede nudo Catonem,

(f) For though an holy bishop thinks that agriculture will derive great advantages from the enlightened' nsnrers who are to purchase the church confiscations, I, who am not a good, but an old farmer, beg leave to tell his late lordship that usury is not a tutor of agriculture.

(g) They took an old huge full-bottomed perriwig out of the wardrobe of the antiquated frippery of Louis XVI, to cover the premature baldness of the national assembly. They produced this oldfashioned formal folly, though it had been so abundantly exposed in the Memoirs of the Duke de St. Simon.

(h) A grand imagination found in this flight of commerce something to captivate. It was wherewithal to dazzle the eye of an eagle. It was not made to entice the smell of a mole, nuzzling and burying himself in his mother earth, as yours is.

6. Reproduce some of the remarks addressed by Junius to Lord Mansfield.

7. State, after Coleridge, the points of antithesis and of resemblance between Jeremy Taylor and Milton.

9. Reproduce (a) some of Sydney Smith's remarks on the profession of the law, (b) some of Coleridge's remarks on the use of works of imagination in education.

10. Annotate :

(a) When I die, will the journal of these days be taken out of the ebony cabinet at Abbotsford, and read with wonder, that the well-seeming Baronet should ever had experienced the risk of such a hitch? Or will it be found in some obscure lodging-house, where the decayed son of Chivalry had hung up his scutcheon?

(b) God help thee, Elia, how art thou changed!-Thou art sophistica ted. . . . From what have I not fallen, if the child I remember was indeed myself, and not some dissembling guardian, presenting a false identity, to give the rule to my unpractised steps!

(c) I hope it will not be one of the bench of bishops; but should it be so destined, let the burnt bishop-the unwilling Latimer-remember that, however painful gradual concoction by fire may be, his death will produce unspeakable benefit to the public. Even Sodor and Man will be better than nothing.

(d) Alexander was a fool to wish for a second world to conquer : but no man is a fool who wishes for the enjoyment of two; the real and the ideal; nor is it anything short of a misfortune to confound them.

(e) We have rocks and quick-sands on the banks of our Thames, O lady, such as Ocean never heard of.

(ƒ) The genius which conceived the incomprehensible character of Hamlet, would alone be able to describe with intuitive truth the character of Scipio.

Paper set by J. MANN, ESQ., M.A.

Examiner-N. L. HALLWARD, Esq., M.A.

The figures in the margin indicate full marks.

Write explanatory notes on the following passages:—
(a) Palmer, (him answered the Redcrosse knight),

His be the praise, that this atchiev'ment wrought,
Who made my hand the organ of His might;
More then goodwill to me attribute nought;
For all I did, I did but as I ought.

But you, faire sir, whose pageant next ensewes,
Well mote yee thee, as well can wish your thought,
That home ye may report thrise happy newes;

For well ye worthy bene for worth and gentle thewes.

(b) And on the other side a plesaunt grove

Was shot up high, full of the stately tree

That dedicated is t' Olympick Jove,

And to his sonne Alcides, when as hee
Gaynd in Nemea goodly victoree:

Therein the mery birdes of every sort

Chaunted alowd their chearefull harmonie,

And made emongst themselves a sweet consort,

That quickned the dull spright with musicall comfort.

(c) Blazing Hyperion on his orbed fire

Still sat, still snuff'd the incense, teeming up
From man to the sun's God; yet unsecure :

For as among as mortals omens drear

Fright and perplex, so also shuddered be,

Not at dog's howl, or gloom-birds's hated screech,
Or the familiar visiting of one

Upon the first toll of his passing-bell,
Or prophesyings of the midnight lamp;
Bnt horrors, portion'd to a giant nerve,
Oft made Hyperion ache.

(d) So ended Saturn; and the God of the Sea,
Sophist and sage, from no Athenian grove,
But cogitation in his watery shades,

Arose, with locks not oozy, and began,

In murmurs, which his first-endeavouring tongue
Caught infant-like from the far-foamed sands.

(e) I confess an occasional night-mare; but I do not, as in early youth, keep a stud of them.

(f) He was at once his clerk, his good servant, his dresser, his friend, his flapper,' his guide, stop-watch, auditor, treasurer.
