[7] Sacred fillet, or "diadema," the noblest, as the most ancient, crown. [8] The best is on George III.'s pound, 1820, the most finished in work on George IV.'s crown-piece, 1821. [9] More properly 'named from the husbandman.' Thus Lycus is 'a wolf,' Lycius, 'named from the wolf,' or 'wolfish.' So, Georgus is 'a husbandman,' Georgius, 'named from the husbandman,' or 'husbandmannish.' [10] See the complete series of subjects as given by M. Didron in his 'Iconographie Chrétienne' (8vo. Paris, 1845, p. 369), and note the most interesting trace of the idea of Triptolemus, in the attendant child with the water-pitcher behind the equestrian figure of the Saint. [11] You will find that in my 19th letter, p. 11, I propose that our St. George's Company in England shall be under the patronage also of St. Anthony in Italy. And in general, we will hold ourselves bound to reverence, in one mind, with Carpaccio and the good Painters and Merchants of Venice, the eight great Saints of the Greek Church,--namely (in the order M. Didron gives them)--the Archangel Michael, the Precursor (John Baptist), St. Peter, St. Paul, St. Nicholas, St. George, Ste. Catherine of Sinai, and St. Anthony, these being patrons of our chief occupations, (while, over our banking operations we will have for patron or principal manager, the more modern Western Saint, Francis of Assisi;) meaning always no disrespect to St. Jerome or Ste. Cecilia, in case we need help in our literature or music. [12] "If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him." Our mona,--as in the 2nd verse (John xiv.) [13] Humboldt, Personal Narrative, London, 1827, vol. v., p. 640 et seq. I quote, as always, accurately, but missing the bits I don't want. [14] The saying is only quoted in 'Munera Pulveris' to be denied, the reader must observe. [15] See terminal notes. [16] Compare XXIII. 12. [17] See Miss Edgeworth's Story, 'Forgive and Forget,' in the 'Parents' Assistant.' [18] 21st March: one just received, interesting, and to be answered next month. [19] I observed nothing of the kind. It was the previous speaker (unknown to me, but, according to the 'Pall Mall' Mr. Dering) who not merely 'observed' but positively affirmed, as the only groundwork of sound political economy, that the nature of man was that of a beast of prey, to all his fellows. [20] My dear friend, I can't bear to interrupt your pretty letter; but, indeed, one should not worship God on one day more, or less, than on another; and one should rest when one needs rest, whether on Sunday or Saturday. [21] My correspondent will perhaps be surprised to hear that I have never in my life voted for any candidate for Parliament, and that I never mean to. [22] Far wiser than letting him gather them as valueless. [23] Not translateable. In French, it has the form of a passionate oath, but the spirit of a gentle one.
