come to mean reliance--and in another, a little string.--A. De M. [63] The Greek lexicographer, a Christian, living after 1000 A. D. His lexicon was first printed at Milan in 1499. [64] _Skindapsos._ [65] This was John William Burgon (1813-1888), Gresham professor of theology (1867) and dean of Chichester. He was an ultra-conservative, opposing the revised version of the New Testament, and saying of the admission of women to the university examinations that it was "a thing inexpedient and immodest." [66] _Ekklesia_, or _ecclesia_. [67] _Ennomos ekklesia._ [68] "Without doubt I shall perish forever." [69] "Every man is an animal." "Sortes is a man." "Sortes is an animal." [70] "For a special purpose." [71] Heraclitus of Ephesus, the weeping philosopher, 6th century B. C. [72] Democritus, the laughing philosopher, founder of the atomistic theory, 5th century B. C. [73] "Ends to which." [74] "Ends from which." [75] "In just as many syllables," "With just as many letters," "In just as many words." [76] "I shall make a way," "I shall find a way." [77] The notion that the Evil Spirit is a functionary liable to be dismissed for not attending to his duty, is, so far as my reading goes, utterly unknown in theology. My first wrinkle on the subject was the remark of the Somersetshire farmer upon Palmer the poisoner-- "Well! if the Devil don't take he, he didn't ought to be allowed to be devil no longer."--A. De M. William Palmer (1824-1856) was a member of the Royal College of Surgeons and practised medicine at London. He was hanged in 1856 for having poisoned a friend and was also suspected of having poisoned his wife and brother for their insurance money, besides being guilty of numerous other murders. His trial was very much in the public attention at the time. [78] Advantages and dangers. [79] The old priory of St. Mary of Bethlehem in London, was used as an asylum for the insane. The name was corrupted to Bedlam. [80] Referring to the common English pronunciation of St. John, almost Sinjin. John St. John Long (1798-1834), an Irishman by birth, practised medicine in London. He claimed to have found a specific for rheumatism and tuberculosis, but upon the death of one of his patients in 1830 he was tried for manslaughter. He died of tuberculosis four years later, refusing to take his own treatment. [81] William of Occam (d. 1349), so called from his birthplace, Ockham, in Surrey. He
