tie" while Blackstone gives US the we'll
known axiom. Man was formed for So
ciety."
Lord Bacon who had chosen all knowl-
edge Tor his province" is as might be
anticipated, the author of many familiar
quotations Here are a few: "A crow is
not company, and faces are but a gallery
of pictures, and talk but tinkling Gym
bal where there is no love" "A man
IS but what he knoweth." "A mans dis
position is never well known till he be
crossed" Children sweeten labors, but
they make misfortunes more bitter; they
increase the cares of life, but they miti-
safe the remembrance of death" Dis
erection of speech is more than eloquence"
lie that hath a wife and children hath
given hostages to fortune, for they are
tmpediments to great enterprises, either of
virtue or mischief" knowledge is DOW
err 'Lookers-on manytimes see more
than the gamesteers." ''One foul sentence
doth more hurt than many foul exam
pies Praise is the reflection of virtue"
Reading maketh a full man, conference
a ready man, and writing an exact man."
Some books are to be tasted, others are
to be swallowed, and some few are to be
chewed and digested." The knowledge of
man is as the waters some descending
from above and some springing from be-
meath, the one informed by the light of
nature and the other inspired by divine
revelation" 1.-THE mold of a mans future

number which is the measure of right ana
wrong"
The saying, when rogues fall out and
honest men get their own fell from the
lips of Sir M. Hale, when sitting on the
judicial bench, and the saying, The
greater the TRUTH the greater the libel, !"
was first uttered by Lord Mansfield in his
capacity Of chief justice of England.
Lord Brougham speaking in the House
of Commons in 1928, fist gave utterance
TO the saying, 1.-The schoolmaster is

sayings been confined, so far as legal cir
cles are concerned, to those who have
passed away Augustin Birrell, Q. C., NJ
p, occupies a very conspicuous position in
the pages of Col. Dalbiacs Dictionary of
Quotations" To Mr. Birrell we owe the
sayings, "A great poet, like a great peak,
must sometimes be allowed to have his
head in the Clouds" That great dust
heap called history" and 1.-The posses-
sion of great physical strength is no mean
assistance to a straightforward life"
