Sivu 571 - to ensure his throat." In Dryden's great portrait, on the contrary, violent passion, implacable revenge, boldness amounting to temerity, are the most striking features. Achitophel is one of the "great wits to madness near allied." And again — " A daring pilot in extremity, Pleased with the danger when the waves went high, He

It would have been with his discoveries as it has been with the "Century of Inventions." His speculations on laws would have been of no more practical use than Lord Worcester's speculations on

A moment is enough. Some new relic, some new unique, some new carved work, some new enamel, is forthcoming in
