parallel in many countries, for example, the Greek phrase, “Owls to
Athens.”

learned and brilliant little volume to which the present chapter is
indebted for several suggestions.

Institution_ (1887) p. 7.
[10] As a text-book it was at least memorable. A distinguished man of
letters tells me that one of its injunctions, taught him in his first
school, he might claim never to have forgotten: _Let thy foot be seldom
in thy neighbour’s house, lest he be weary of thee and hate thee_ (Pr.
25^{17}). His friends bear regretful and emphatic witness that the
facts completely justify his claim.

[12] In the final form of the Book thus gradually evolved it is
sometimes very easy, sometimes difficult or impossible, to distinguish
with exactitude the earlier from the later ‘sources’ out of which
it has been composed; but the main stages of the compilation can
generally be determined with a high degree of accuracy, just as in
an old cathedral through the varying modes of architecture employed
the general history of the building is clearly visible to the trained
perception.
