...before, it was considered hardly right to make any one return for a recitation, though the preparation of this took up but a short time of the vacation, is it just, now, to impose upon us an examination in preparation for which, if we hope to pass at all fairly, we shall be obliged to spend nearly the whole of the two days allowed?

...commandments, though not written on tablets of stone, are, however, more numerous, and intended, if possible, to be more binding than those of Biblical history. Its beatitudes address themselves to our better nature, and can all be summed up in one, - Blessed are the obedient, for they shall obtain marks. Its two cardinal doctrines are rewards and punishments. One rises from a perusal of the work refreshed and invigorated.
