"LET faction look and speak big in a tumult, and in the troubled waters of rebellion, yet I dare vouch this as a truth of certain event, and that without the spirit of prophecy, that courage assisted with law, and law executed with courage, will assuredly prevail."—Ibid. vol. 5, p. 64.

"NOTHING can be more irrational, than to be dogmatical in things doubtful; and to determine, where wise men only dispute." -Ibid. p. 243.

A WISE remark, and of wide application: "Que les insolences d'un peuple contre ses voisins se termineront toûjours à une guerre; non seulement parce que l'homme prudent se lasse de souffrir, mais aussi parce que l'insolent se lasse d'être souffert."Ibid.

"EST enim nescio quid naturâ insitum nationibus aliis longè à nostris moribus ingeniisque alienum ; atque ut Falerni vini sapor alius est quam Taracinensis, ita michi1 videntur homines ab ipsâ in quâ nascuntur terrâ, saporem, ut ita dixerim, naturæ ingeniorumque traxisse." - LEON. Aretine, Epist. tom. 2, p. 101.

1. I am under the impression that in the word michi here, Southey thought he had a similar word to miching, see suprà, p. 329, and in turning to his copy of LEON. ARETINE'S Letters before me, I find his well-known mark against the word. I suspect he had in his mind the word Micha, on which see Du CANGE in v.

The word michi, however, is here simply the pedantic form of mihi. I give the following from NOLTINI, as the work may not be in every one's

hands.

Ep. 2. ad Antonium Grammaticum. Voss. Art. Gr. 149. A quo quidem tempore monachi ita non solum pronunciarunt, sed etiam scripserunt, ut codices complures manibus ipsorum exarati satis testantur, qui michi, nichil scriptum exhibent." Lexicon Lat. Ling.
