31933Where does this surplus value come from?
31933Where was the unchangeable mechanical force then, Herr Duehring, and what was it busy about?
31933Wherein does the social character of these private products consist?

33310Might reduce the price of raw produce to the cost of production?
33310Why,asks M. Say,"does an individual wish to sell his land?
33310Will it be said that the farmer, he who furnishes labour and capital, will, jointly with the landlord, bear the burden of this tax? 33310 Without doubt this would be a great encouragement given to manufactures and trade; but would it be just?
33310Are the powers of wind and water, which move our machinery, and assist navigation, nothing?
33310But from what fund would those pay the tax who produce corn without paying any rent?
33310But from which of these sources of fluctuation is corn exempted?
33310But how would the interest of the landlord be affected?
33310But where is the proof of this?
33310Can they multiply, if a tax takes from them a part of their wages, and reduces them to bare necessaries?
33310Could not their advancement be obtained at any other price?
33310Does nature nothing for man in manufactures?
33310Does not Mr. Malthus himself, state it never to be so?
33310Has a merchant an income equal to all the sales which he makes in the course of a year?
33310How is it to be ascertained whether English money has fallen, or Hamburgh money has risen?
33310How then can money, or gold and silver, exchange for more corn in rich, than in poor countries?
33310How then can prices be raised by high profits?
33310How would such land, as M. Say describes in the following passage, pay a tax of one- half or three- fourths of its produce?
33310If capital to any extent can be employed by a country, how can it be said to be abundant compared with the extent of employment for it?
33310If it does not raise it in comparison with other commodities, where is the injury to the home consumer, beyond the inconvenience of paying the tax?
33310If the state claim of him the fifth part of his augmented income, will there not remain 4000 francs of increase to stimulate his further exertions?"
33310In what are they essentially different?
33310In what then does the advantage of the stipulation in the treaty consist?
33310Is it ever for any length of time either above or below this price?
33310Is it possible that Mr. Buchanan can seriously assert, that the produce of the land can not be increased, if the demand increases?
33310Of what advantage or disadvantage then is the treaty to either party?
33310Of what benefit would it be to the community?
33310Should this be the case, should the consumption be diminished, will not the supply also speedily be diminished?
33310The pressure of the atmosphere and the elasticity of steam, which enable us to work the most stupendous engines-- are they not the gifts of nature?
33310Thus, when gold is said to be dearer in England than in Spain, if no commodity is mentioned, what notion does the assertion convey?
33310Under such circumstances, could corn rise in exchangeable value with other things?
33310What can value have to do with the power of feeding and clothing?
33310What has happened?
33310What is the consequence?
33310What should we say of an establishment which should regularly supply half the clothiers with their wool under the market price?
33310Who can have any motive to produce it, before any demand exists for an additional quantity?
33310Who is to produce it?
33310Why does another wish to purchase this same land?
33310Why should corn and vegetables alone be excepted?
33310Why should the manufacturer continue in the trade if his profits are below the general level?
33310Would not the abundance of those peculiar products of the earth cause a rise of rent, if the demand for them at the same time increased?
33310[ 33] Is the following quite consistent with M. Say''s principle?
33310[ 41] Are not the following passages contradictory to the one above quoted?
33310[ 53] Of what increased quantity does Mr. Malthus speak?
33310[ 6] Has not M. Say forgotten, in the following passage, that it is the cost of production which ultimately regulates price?
33310and can rent ever rise, whatever the commodity produced may be, from abundance merely, and without an increase of demand?
33310and would not the labourer thus obtain his usual portion?
33310per annum to agriculture, to manufacturers, and to commerce, when a borrower may be found ready to pay an interest of 7 or 8 per cent.?
33310per annum, when another borrower having little credit, would give 7 or 8?"
33310will not its value be increased, in consequence of the rise of labour?

36541Do you suppose it is in the long run good for Manchester, or good for England, that the Continent should be in the state it is?
36541Does he consider occupation itself to be an expensive luxury, difficult of attainment, of which too little is to be found in the world?
36541Essential to what degree, Mr. Ricardo?
36541For what noble work was there ever any audible''demand''in that poor sense?"

36541Have you nothing best, Which generous souls may perfect and present, And He shall thank the givers for?

36541Or if one or two slave- masters be rich, and the nation be otherwise composed of slaves, is it to be called a rich nation?
36541Or is the soul so much less trustworthy in its instincts than the stomach, that legislation is necessary for the one, but inconvenient to the other?

36541Thus, if the king alone be rich-- suppose Croesus or Mausolus-- are the Lydians and Carians therefore a rich nation?
36541True; but why not also,"feelings of an agreeable kind?"
36541Twenty people can gain money for one who can use it; and the vital question, for individual and for nation, is, never"how much do they make?"
36541We give the crown"ob civem servatum,"--why not"ob civem natum"?
36541Well, supposing them sculptors, will not the same rule hold?

360And, developing the question, I ask,-- Did the legislator, in introducing into the Republic the principle of property, weigh all the consequences?
360And, if that is not just, is it not proper to refuse literary property to every author holding public offices, and receiving pensions or sinecures?

26716Could not you sometimes take gentlemen''s work to illustrate by?
26716Crinoline and all?
26716Did it ever strike you that you wanted another watchword also, fair- work, and another hatred also, foul- work?
26716Did not I show you how the thread cuts my fingers?
26716Did the guardian who died in his trust, die inhumanly, and as a fool; and did the murderess of her child fulfil the law of her being?
26716Did you in any lagging minute, on those scientific occasions, chance to reflect what he was bid stand still_ for_?
26716Do they not say plainly to us, not,"there has been a great_ effort_ here,"but,"there has been a great_ power_ here"?
26716Do you accept it as it stands?
26716Do you know what, by this beautiful division of labour( her brave men fighting, and her cowards thinking), she has come at last to think?
26716Do you know where the lightning is to fall next?
26716Do you make your children pay for their education, or do you give it them compulsorily, and gratis?
26716Do you mean to gather always-- never to spend?
26716Do you mean to say that you are sure you are utterly wicked, and yet do not care?
26716Do you really believe it?
26716Do you seriously mean that the Greeks were better than we are; and that their gods were real angels?
26716Do you think Titian would have helped the world better by denying himself, and not painting; or Casella by denying himself, and not singing?
26716Do you think all those vaults and towers of yours have been built without me?
26716Do you think the father would be particularly pleased?
26716Do you think these phenomena are to stay always in their present power or aspect?
26716Do you think you do n''t know whether you are alive or not?
26716Does expenditure of capital on the production of luxurious dress and furniture tend to make a nation rich or poor?
26716Does he cover his body with jewels, and his table with delicates?
26716Does it mean courage?
26716Does not clearer light come for you on that law after reading these nobly pious words?
26716Does that mean clear-- transparent?
26716Does the crowned creature live simply, bravely, unostentatiously?
26716Does the payment, by the nation, for an indefinite period, of interest on money borrowed from private persons, tend to make the nation rich or poor?
26716Does the road really go_ up_?
26716Emptiness of utter pride, you think?
26716Florrie ashamed of herself?
26716For all men, that is to say; but to what work did the Greeks think that her voice was to call them?
26716For who among us now thinks of bringing men up to be poets?--of producing poets by any kind of general recipe or method of cultivation?
26716Gathering together-- but how much?
26716Getting on-- but where to?
26716Grant them unanimous, how know you they will be unanimous in right?
26716Had it narrowed itself then, in those days, out of all the world, into this peninsula between Cockermouth and Shap?
26716Had these men any quarrel?
26716Has not the man who has worked for the money a right to use it as he best can?
26716Has the nation hitherto worked for and gathered the right thing or the wrong?
26716Have all these kings thus improved their country, but never themselves?
26716Have any of you intently examined the nature of your belief in them?
26716Have they themselves sunk so far as not to hope this?
26716Have we not a history of which we can hardly think without becoming insolent in our just pride of it?
26716Hear now but these, out of his whole heart:--''What,--silent yet?
26716Holding WHAT in your hand?
26716How can any final quarrel of nations be settled otherwise than by war?''
26716How can you have the heart, when you dislike so to be asked them yourself?
26716How do you know what you have done, or are doing?
26716How do you mean we might understand it?
26716How is it that one never sees it spoken of in books?
26716How is it that the sound of the bell comes so instinctively into his chiming verse?
26716How long were you in doing your back hair, this afternoon, Jessie?
26716How many balls must we go to in the season, to be perfectly virtuous?
26716How many do you think may?
26716How many do you want to live there?
26716How many of our present money- seekers, think you, would have the grace to hang themselves, whoever was killed?
26716How many rods, Lily?
26716How many thousands ought he to have a year?
26716How many ways are there of putting them in order?
26716How many_ can_?
26716How much do you think Homer got for his Iliad?
26716How much should they always be elevated, how much always depressed?
26716How old is Dotty, again?
26716How then?
26716How_ can_ this have been done?
26716How_ did_ Carnage behave in the Holy Land then?
26716I ca n''t express what I mean; but there are two sorts of wrong are there not?
26716I do n''t understand;--how is that like the leaves?
26716I hope you feel inclined to interrupt me, and say,''But we know our places; how do the atoms know theirs?
26716I know they do great harm; but do they not also do great good?
26716I must follow Phre beyond Atlas; shall I build your pyramid for you before he goes down?''
26716I should like to know how you could kill them more utterly-- kill them with second deaths, seventh deaths, hundredfold deaths?
26716I suppose, as we are to get together in the playground, when it stops raining, in different shapes?
26716I take one at mere chance:''Who thinks of self, when gazing on the sky?
26716I thought the chemists could make them already?
26716If I, who am Lady of wisdom, do not mock the children of men, why shouldst thou mock them, who art Lord of truth?''
26716If a child finds itself in want of anything, it runs in and asks its father for it-- does it call that, doing its father a service?
26716If it begs for a toy or a piece of cake-- does it call that serving its father?
26716If one could contrive to attach the notion of conquest to them anyhow?
26716If people could not find that, would they not find something else, and quarrel for it instead?
26716If there is no rest which remaineth for you, is there none you might presently take?
26716If we could break this bit under the glass, what would it be like?
26716If you please, sir,--would you tell us-- what are''faults''?
26716If you were to embank Lincolnshire more stoutly against the sea?
26716In what way?
26716Indeed; what else is there?
26716Is it iron?
26716Is it more profane, think you-- or more tender-- nay, perhaps, in the core of it, more true?
26716Is it not the complete fulfilment, down into the very dust, of that verse:''The whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain''?
26716Is it not?
26716Is it therefore easier for you in your heart to inflict the sorrow for which there is no remedy?
26716Is n''t he cross?
26716Is not all the life of the soul in communion, not separation?
26716Is not that, broadly, and in the main features, the kind of thing you propose to yourselves?
26716Is not the evidence of Ease on the very front of all the greatest works in existence?
26716Is not this an edge- tool we have got hold of, unawares?
26716Is not this saying much?
26716Is that really so?
26716Is that the way?
26716Is the earth only an hospital?
26716Is there much to be thought-- I mean, much to puzzle one?
26716Is this then all that Heavy Peg and our nine Kurfürsts have done for us?
26716It is but a little island;--suppose, little as it is, you were to fill it with friends?
26716It is not the crystalline lens of your eyes which is sorry, when you cry?
26716It is very delightful to imagine the mountains to be alive; but then,--_are_ they alive?
26716Katie, you broke your coral necklace this morning?
26716L. All about what?
26716L. And how much can you allow for Lily''s good packing, in guessing what will go into the trunk?
26716L. And she was very fond of Alice?
26716L. And so when Alice went away?
26716L. And they would n''t be helped, I suppose?
26716L. And when you mend a decayed stuff with strong thread, does not the whole edge come away sometimes, when it tears again?
26716L. Are you sure the ants could not have helped you, Lily?
26716L. But if it is answered, wo n''t it turn into two?
26716L. But if nobody has ever seen them?
26716L. But none of them left their sticks to help you through the irregular verb?
26716L. But what did she want to ask?
26716L. But when a great many persons get together they do n''t take the shape of one person?
26716L. But why did you want to get out of the valley?
26716L. But why do you want me to tell you true, any more than the man who wrote the''Arabian Nights?''
26716L. But, Egypt, why did you tell me you disliked sewing so?
26716L. Can you play a Mozart sonata yet, Isabel?
26716L. Certainly it is not;--how can you possibly speak any truth out of such a heart as you have?
26716L. Did you never see a bit of green leaf before, Florrie?
26716L. For people who do n''t love you, and whom you know nothing about?
26716L. How else could it get there?
26716L. How large were the others?
26716L. If I thought anyone else could answer better than you, Lucilla, I would; but suppose I try, instead, myself, to explain your feelings to you?
26716L. If it be, what will you gain by unpersonifying it, or what right have you to do so?
26716L. In your shoulders, then?
26716L. Is n''t that pretty, children?
26716L. My dear child, what good?
26716L. My dear, it is the proverb of proverbs; Apollo''s proverb, and the sun''s;--but do you think you can know yourself by looking_ into_ yourself?
26716L. Nor you, Sibyl?
26716L. Only one?
26716L. Only that it tells lies within you?
26716L. Saved from what, my dear?
26716L. That you have an entirely bad heart?
26716L. That''s very hard, Florrie; why must n''t I, if you may?
26716L. Then why should they bear it?
26716L. Then, have you two hearts; one of which is wicked, and the other grieved?
26716L. There is no occasion for understanding it; but do you feel it?
26716L. Well, then, you are sorry in your heart?
26716L. Well; and what do you mean by''giving up one''s self?''
26716L. What are you sorry with, Lucilla?
26716L. What did I say first?
26716L. What do you call real things?
26716L. What do you mean by a group, and what by one crystal?
26716L. What do_ you_ mean by dressing?
26716L. What is it then?
26716L. What is it to be alive?
26716L. What''s that, May?
26716L. Whether you can see them or not?
26716L. Why not little girls, then?
26716L. Why not little girls?
26716L. Why not rather others for you?
26716L. Why not, Isabel?
26716L. Why not?
26716L. Would you really rather pull out your own than Tittie''s?
26716L. Yes; I mean, where do you feel sorry?
26716L. You are indeed commanded to cut off and to pluck out, if foot or eye offend you; but why_ should_ they offend you?
26716L. You are sure of that?
26716L. You do n''t call that a''question,''seriously, Violet?
26716L. You never heard of such things?
26716L. You think it should go down into a valley?
26716Lily, what were you so busy about, at the ant- hill in the wood, this morning?
26716May I call you-- let me see--''primary molecules?''
26716May I touch them?
26716May I try?
26716May we break it?
26716May we break this, too?
26716May we sculpture her so?
26716May you sculpture it where it hangs?
26716Me singing?
26716Mephistopheles in vain calls to them--"What do you duck and shrink for-- is that proper hellish behaviour?
26716Mercy on us( you think), what will she say next?
26716Might we look at that piece of broken quartz again, with the weak little film across it?
26716Must n''t the ones in the middle be the nearest, and the outside ones farther off-- when we go away to scatter, I mean?
26716Nature asks of him calmly and inevitably, What have you found, or formed-- the right thing or the wrong?
26716Nay, but( it is asked) how is that an unfair advantage?
26716Nay, if you blush so, Kathleen, how can one help looking?
26716Neith''s pyramid?
26716Next, why has it a rim?
26716No, I ca n''t; will you tell us, please?
26716No, because they ca n''t; but, you know the crystals can; so why should n''t they?
26716No; but if one wants to read an amusing book, instead of learning one''s lesson?
26716Not above three- quarters of an hour, I think, Jess?
26716Not altogether so; but indeed the_ Vocal_ piety seemed conclusively to have retired( or excursed?)
26716Not gold, not greenbacks, not ciphers after a capital I?
26716Now, do you mean to say you never go to these Crystal Palace concerts?
26716Now, first of all, what do you mean by''bricks?''
26716Now, how do you consider that these several institutes differ, or ought to differ, from''idle men''s''institutes and''idle men''s''colleges?
26716Now, lastly, will you tell me what_ we_ worship, and what_ we_ build?
26716Now, shall I try to tell you?
26716Now, what playground have the minerals?
26716Now, what right have any of us to assume that our own fancies will assuredly be either the one or the other?
26716Of real gold?
26716Oh dear, oh dear; and then?
26716Oh, but suppose that they had minded me?
26716Oh, can not you show us one?
26716Oh, dear; but is the calcite harder than the crystal then?
26716Oh, please, but did n''t Neith say anything then?
26716Oh, where?
26716On the chance of its being so, might I ask hearing for just a few words more of the school of Belial?
26716Or are we perchance, many of us, still erring somewhat in our notions alike of Divinity and Humanity,--poetical extraction, and moral position?
26716Or by what other word than''idle''shall I distinguish those whom the happiest and wisest of working men do not object to call the''Upper Classes?''
26716Or does the mode of distribution in any wise affect the nature of the riches?
26716Or if a few slave- masters are rich, and the nation is otherwise composed of slaves, is it to be called a rich nation?
26716Or is it conceivable that they might have been real beings,--good spirits,--entrusted with some message from the true God?
26716Or me?
26716Or were they actually real beings-- evil spirits,--leading men away from the true God?
26716Or, suppose that they can neither be of one mind, nor of two minds, but can only be of_ no_ mind?
26716Ought not that to disturb some of your thoughts respecting Greek idealism?
26716Our third and last virtue, I suppose?
26716Paved with garnets?
26716People in Rome only?
26716QUESTION SECOND.--What is the quantity of the store, in relation to the population?
26716Qui discrepat istis Qui nummos aurumque recondit, nescius uti Compositis; metuensque velut contingere sacrum?
26716Red water?
26716Shall we find in their artwork any of that pensiveness and yearning for the dead, which fills the chants of their tragedy?
26716Shall we never listen to the words of these wisest of men?
26716Shall we read them again?
26716Should it, if not by your servants, be practised by yourselves?
26716Should we not educate the whole intellect into general strength, and all the affections into warmth and honesty, and look to heaven for the rest?
26716Sindbad''s, which nobody could get out of?
26716Sir-- surely-- are we not told that they are all evil?
26716Sir?
26716So I did; but that helped little; I thought of Dante''s forest of suicides, too, but you would not simply have borrowed that?
26716So may n''t it really be divided into three?
26716So much we pay for educating children gratis;--how much for educating diamonds gratis?
26716Somehow, often as people say that, they never seem, to me, to believe it?
26716Sorry with, sir?
26716Stand fast, and let them strew"--"Was duckt und zuckt ihr; ist das Hellen- brauch?
26716Suppose it should thus turn out, finally, that a true government set to true work, instead of being a costly engine, was a paying one?
26716Suppose we use this calamitous forenoon to choose the shapes we are to crystallise into?
26716Suppose, instead of this volunteer marching and countermarching, you were to do a little volunteer ploughing and counter- ploughing?
26716Surely it is more wonderful than anything in botany?
26716The Teutsch Ritters, fighting him for charity, are they so much inferior to you?
26716The first question, then, which we have to put under our simple conception of central Government, namely,"What store has it?"
26716The first, and last, and closest trial question to any living creature is,''What do you like?''
26716The second inquiry into two: 1. Who are the Holders of the store, and in what proportions?
26716Then do the good ones get angry?
26716Then may we only learn the three?
26716Then we really may believe that the mountains are living?
26716Then, we are all to learn dress- making, are we?
26716There is no God, but have we not invented gunpowder?--who wants a God, with that in his pocket?
26716There''s no doubt of conscience about that, I suppose?
26716Therefore, when your pauper comes to you and asks for bread, ask of him instantly-- What faculty have you?
26716These were the questions you wanted to ask; were they not, Lucilla?
26716They had deliberately closed their eyes to all nature, and had gone on inquiring,"Where do you put your brown tree?"
26716They understand now: but, do you know what you said next?
26716They would not openly ask of their hearers-- Did you think my sermon ingenious, or my language poetical?
26716Think you that''men may come, and men may go,''but-- mills-- go on forever?
26716Thus, if the king alone be rich-- suppose Croesus or Mausolus-- are the Lydians or Carians therefore a rich nation?
26716To be heroic in change and sway of fortune is little;--for do you not love?
26716To be patient through the great chasm and pause of loss is little;--for do you not still love in heaven?
26716To our honesty of heart, or coolness of head, or steadiness of will?
26716To our thinkers, or our statesmen, or our poets, or our captains, or our martyrs, or the patient labour of our poor?
26716To wear semblances, to be ready with evasive words, how is this, Mr. Carlyle?
26716To what our English sires have done for us, and taught us, age after age?
26716Too illiberal, you think; and what would Mr. J. S. Mill say?
26716Was any woman, do you suppose, ever the better for possessing diamonds?
26716Was ever man the better for having coffers full of gold?
26716Was it an angel of death to the Jew only, or to the Gentile also?''
26716Was that really possible?
26716Was the heart pure and true-- tell us that?
26716Well then, next, what do you mean by the flying of the bricks?
26716Well, but if people do as well as they can see how, surely that is the right for them, is n''t it?
26716Well, but surely, at least one ought to be afraid of displeasing God; and one''s desire to please Him should be one''s first motive?
26716Well, first one would string them, I suppose?
26716Well, gentlemen, who taught them that method of festivity?
26716Well, then, first of all-- What shall we ask first, Mary?
26716Well, then, who are called to be that?
26716Well, what in the name of Plutus is it you want?
26716Well, what is that?
26716Well-- but it is answered, are we to have no diamonds, nor china, nor pictures, nor footmen, then-- but all to be farmers?
26716Were not you reading about that group of words beginning with V,--vital, virtuous, vigorous, and so on,--in Max Muller, the other day, Sibyl?
26716Were they idly imagined to be real beings?
26716What are Hamburg pedlars made for but to be robbed?"
26716What are the principles which regulate the rent which may thus be paid?"
26716What can you do best?
26716What do you mean by a great nation, but a great multitude of men who are true to each other, and strong, and of worth?
26716What do you mean by a group of people?
26716What do you mean by doing this?
26716What do you think the beautiful word''wife''comes from?
26716What does it matter whether I get short weight, adulterate substance, or dishonest fabric?
26716What does it matter, as long as they remain stupid, whether you change their feelings or not?
26716What does''Tourmaline''mean?
26716What does''cooking''mean?
26716What function?
26716What is it the atoms do, that is like flying?
26716What is it then-- is it ciphers after a capital I?
26716What is it?
26716What is it?
26716What is its quantity in relation to the currency?
26716What is its quantity in relation to the population?
26716What is the nature of the store?
26716What is the nature of the store?
26716What is the quantity of the store in relation to the Currency?
26716What is wise work, and what is foolish work?
26716What melody does Tityrus meditate on his tenderly spiral pipe?
26716What mode or limit of representation may we adopt?
26716What more need we ask?
26716What practical difference is there between''that,''and what you are talking about?
26716What the difference between sense and nonsense, in daily occupation?
26716What trials have they?
26716What was to be the impulse communicated by her prevailing presence; what the sign of the people''s obedience to her?
26716What worth is there in toys of canvas and stone if compared to the joy and peace of artless domestic life?''
26716What would be the next way?
26716What, you say, those glorious cathedrals-- the pride of Europe-- did their builders not form Gothic architecture?
26716What-- having the gift of imagery-- should we by preference endeavour to image?
26716What_ can_ the nasty hard thing be?
26716What_ is_ to become of them?
26716Whatever gifts the boy had, would much be likely to come of them so treated?
26716When first these essays were published, I remember one of their reviewers asking contemptuously,"Is half- a- crown a document?"
26716When the two halves of the dining table came separate, yesterday, was that a''fault''?
26716Where are men ever to be happy, if not in England?
26716Where are they scattered before they are crystallised; and where are the crystals generally made?
26716Where does it come from?
26716Where is the political economist in France, or England, who ventured to assert the conclusions of his science as adverse to this system?
26716Where were you?
26716Whereupon arises the question, what opportunity have you to obtain engravings?
26716Which Samaritan woman''s?
26716Which has betrayed it-- falsified it?
26716Which of them has failed from their nature-- from their present, possible, actual nature;--not their nature of long ago, but their nature of now?
26716Who is bravest?
26716Who is there who does not sympathize with him in the simple love with which he dwells on the brightness and bloom of our summer fruit and flowers?
26716Who is there who for a moment could contend with him in the unaffected, yet humorous truth with which he has painted our peasant children?
26716Who is wisest?
26716Who packed your trunk for you, last holidays, Isabel?
26716Whose fault is it?
26716Why did n''t you take me with you?
26716Why do you say Neith does it?
26716Why has it been made round?
26716Why not say it all depended on Herodias''daughter, at once?
26716Why should it not be represented, if possible, just as it is seen?
26716Why should n''t she?
26716Why should you not be ashamed also to do it in public place and power?
26716Why should you suppose that Nature always means you to know exactly how far one thing is from another?
26716Why speak of these lower services?
26716Why, giving up one''s pleasures is not killing one''s self?
26716Wicked, sir?
26716Wilful error is limited by the will, but what limit is there to that of which we are unconscious?
26716Will Dryden do?
26716Will God be satisfied with us, think you, if we read His words merely for the sake of an entirely meaningless poetical sensation?
26716Will you allow me to ask precisely the meaning of this?
26716Will you have Paul Veronese to paint your ceiling, or the plumber from over the way?
26716Will you have dominion over its stones, or over its clouds, or over its souls?
26716Will you put an Olympus of silver upon a golden Pelion-- make Ossa like a wart?
26716Will you take, for foundation of act and hope, the faith that this man was such as God made him, or that this woman was such as God made her?
26716Will you take, wantonly, this little all of his life from your poor brother, and make his brief hours long to him with pain?
26716Will you trust me meanwhile?
26716With broad highway to Paris and little hindrance--_we_ scattered, helpless here and there-- what to advise?
26716Wo n''t that do?
26716Wo n''t you tell us what it means?
26716Would a crystallographer?
26716Would it be more beautiful uncut?
26716Would that leaf gold separate into finer leaves, in the same way?
26716Would you like to see how they really are found?

26716You are, on the whole, very good children sitting here to- day;--do you think that your goodness comes all by your own contriving?
26716You do n''t mean that she is a real spirit, do you?
26716You do n''t understand perhaps why I call you''sentimental''schoolboys, when you go into the army?
26716You doubt who is strongest?
26716You fancy, perhaps, that there is a severe sense of duty mixed with these peacocky motives?
26716You feel, doubtless, that your own idea of Christ would be something very different from this; but in what does the difference consist?
26716You gather corn:--will you bury England under a heap of grain; or will you, when you have gathered, finally eat?
26716You gather gold:--will you make your house- roofs of it, or pave your streets with it?
26716You know I was to tell about the words that began with V. Sibyl, what does''virtue''mean, literally?

26716You like me to see you dancing, do n''t you Lily?
26716You shall have thousands of gold pieces;--thousands of thousands-- millions-- mountains, of gold: where will you keep them?
26716You think Pindar wrote that carelessly?
26716You think you can make him like Dante and Beethoven?
26716You were at Chamouni last year, Sibyl; did your guide chance to show you the pierced rock of the Aiguille du Midi?
26716You were too proud to become merchants or farmers yourselves: will you have merchants or farmers then for your field marshals?
26716You were too proud to become shopkeepers: are you satisfied then to become the servants of shopkeepers?
26716You would be afraid to answer that your heart_ was_ pure and true, would not you?
26716You would not have had me take my crown off, and stoop all the way down a passage fit only for rats?
26716You, for instance, Lucilla, who think often, and seriously, of such things?
26716[ 100] What general feeling, it may be asked incredulously, can possibly pervade all this?
26716[ 167]''One other such novel, and there''s an end; but who can last for ever?

26716and I am to sit here to be asked questions till supper- time, am I?
26716and can you never lie down_ upon_ it, but only_ under_ it?
26716and can you say why such half- dozen lines are good, or bad?
26716and did they so usurp the place of the true God?
26716and how is the worker of it to be comforted, redeemed, and rewarded?
26716and silent_ all_?
26716and surely we are to sacrifice ourselves, at least in God''s service, if not in man''s?
26716and that, though we may not take advantage of a child''s or a woman''s weakness, we may of a man''s foolishness?
26716and what kind of play should he have, and what rest, in this world, sometimes, as well as in the next?
26716and which pays best for brightening, the spirit or the charcoal?
26716and why have n''t you brought me some diamonds?
26716as thoroughly and confessedly either one or the other?
26716but for two nations, it seems to me, not wholly comic?
26716but how come they to be like that?
26716but how many have been made base, frivolous, and miserable by desiring them?
26716but surely, sir, we can not make our hearts clean?
26716but"What possibly can you see_ in_ these?"

26716but''tidy or untidy?''
26716by whom shall they ever be taught to do right, if not by you?

26716little girls as well as other people?
26716not even, in familiar Saxon,''dust?''

26716or do you think the object of education is to efface it, and make us forget it for ever?
26716or how are you to determine where it may be, but by being ready for it always?

26716she said at last,''what is this vanity?
26716sister, in truth they do not love us; why should they set up our images?
26716the first of girls''virtues is dancing?
