A. 1. ABBREVIATION.—Hudson, in his Lectures on Shakespeare, says: "I agree with old Montaigne, that every abridgment of a good work is foolish. For a genuine literary work is not a collection of wheat and chaff, to be winnowed before it is fit for use, but a living tree, covered with leaves and buds and blossoms; cut it up for its beauties, and all is but chips: " Addison's Wks., vol. ii, 498. 2. ABILITIES.-Misdirected-" Sadly, sadly, the sun rose; it rose upon no sadder sight than the man of good abilities and good emotions, incapable of their directed exercise, incapable of his own help and his own happiness, sensible of the blight on him, and resigning himself to let it eat him away: " Tale of Two Cities (Dickens), chap. 5.-Reward of: Johns.

ABSOLUTISM.—“ Absolutism may thrive without a God, for it needs only slaves. Republicanism cannot exist without a God, for it must have citizens. And what is it that makes citizens? Two things-the sentiment of their rights, and the sentiment of their duties as a republican people. Where are your rights, if you have not a common Father in Heaven? Where are your duties, if you have not a judge between your brothers and you? Republicanism draws you in both these ways to God." Lamartine's Atheism, 57; Ed. Rev., xli, 287; Montg. Wks., 229. 49.

One of the highest benefactions of which I can conceive in the better world which we hope for would be the privilege, the power of incessant, never-wearying, glorious activity. No stupor of disease, no sluggishness of overwrought brain, no heavy head or fainting heart, but action, travel, growth, increasing knowledge, expanding visions of God amid the bright and boundless spheres that roll around us. No soft, bland region I see above, lulled to repose, curtained with noiseless clouds and basking beneath the tranquil skythat heaven of the Hindoo, of the Turk, aye, of our Christian childhood, too, is giving place to manlier and maturer thought of ever-unfolding life and joy."

ADAPTABILITY.-"Gentlemen of the free and easy sort, who plume themselves on being acquainted with a thing or two, and being usually equal to the time-ofday, express the wide range of their capacity for adventure, by observing that they are good for anything from pitchand-toss to manslaughter; between which opposite extremes, no doubt, there lies a tolerably wide and comprehensive range of subjects. Without venturing for Scrooge quite as hardily as this, I don't mind calling on you to believe that he was ready for a good broad field of strange appearances, and that nothing between a baby and a rhinoceros would have astonished him very much."
