A most interesting man,... eloquent in conversation, contemplative ... and crazy beyond all reach of helebore, ... yet sublime and divinely benignant in his visionariness. This man, as a pedestrian traveller, had seen more of the earth’s surface ... than any man before or since.--De Quincey. ⁂ Walking Stewart must not be confounded with John M’Douall Stuart, the Australian explorer (1818-1866). =Steyne= (_Marquis of_), earl of Gaunt and of Gaunt Castle, a viscount, baron, knight of the Garter and of numerous other orders, colonel, trustee of the British Museum, elder brother of the Trinity House, governor of White Friars, etc., had honors and titles enough to make him a great man, but his life was not a highly moral one, and his conduct with Becky Sharp, when she was the wife of Colonel Rawdon Crawley, gave rise to a great scandal. His lordship floated through the ill report, but Mrs. Rawdon was obliged to live abroad.--W. M. Thackeray, _Vanity Fair_ (1848). =Stick to it, says Baigent.= Baigent was the principal witness of the Claimant in the great Tichborne trial, and his advice to his _protégé_ was, “Stick to it” (1872). =Stiggins=, a hypocritical, drunken Methodist “shepherd” (minister), thought by Mrs. Weller to be a saint. His time was spent for the most part in drinking pineapple rum at the Marquis of Granby tavern.--C. Dickens, _The Pickwick Papers_ (1836). =Still= (_Cornelius, the_), Cornelius Tacitus. (Latin, _tacĭtus_, “still.”) Cornelius, the Stylle, in his firste book of his yerely exploictes, called in Latine, _Annales_.--_Fardle of Facions_, iii. 3 (1555). =Stimulants used by Public Characters.= BONAPARTE, snuff.

LEWIS, mulled wine and oysters. NEWTON smoked incessantly. OXBERRY, strong tea. POPE, strong coffee. SCHILLER required to sit over a table deeply impregnated with the smell of apples.
