Ambiguity may arise, not only from bad arrangement, but also from other causes-from the misuse of single words, and from confused thought. These causes are not removable by definite rules, and therefore, though not neglected, are not prominently considered in this book. My object rather is to point out some few continually recurring causes of ambiguity, and to suggest definite remedies in each case. Speeches in Parliament, newspaper narratives and articles, and, above all, resolutions at public meetings, furnish abundant instances of obscurity arising from the monotonous neglect of some dozen simple rules. The art of writing forcibly is, of course, a valuable acquisition-almost as valuable as the art of writing clearly.

From the beginning of Volume II. CHAPTER 1 THE FIRST AND SECOND BOOKS § I. His object On the strength of the many miracles mentioned in William's book as reported from Ireland, and also because of his vehement condemnation of Henry's Irish war, Mr. Magnusson has conjectured that William himself was a native of Ireland. He certainly has a Celtic faculty of fluent and versatile speech, and is master of methods of variety. But in part this may arise from a long study of classical literature. It has been noted above that, after seventeen months of reporting, Benedict was found in- adequate by the Canterbury Chapter, and William was called in to aid him. Under such circumstances, the latter would be on his mettle to show what he could do in the way of style. It may be assumed as almost certain that William himself in his own recondite Latin is writing his own apology - though it appears in the Prologue nominally indited by the monks - when he says, "We ask the whole body of our readers, sympathizing with the brother's diligence - for it is not his fault that he does not discharge in full the stewardship entrusted to him - not to 'arch their eyebrows' above measure at the want of arrangement of his words, and the poorness of his thoughts. He confesses indeed that he has deserved a flout, but he hopes for a milder censure.... He pledges you in a draught from a vessel of potter's clay, but drawn from a spring of living waters. Let the delicate liquor excuse the uncouth cup-bearer." There is more to the same effect, more than enough to shew that the writer is not deeply in earnest, not in the same mood in which Benedict took up the pen, seventeen months before, to dispel the cloud that obscured the light of the Canterbury Martyr. The difference is natural. Then the King, and the lords, and almost all the bishops were hostile. Now they were friendly, quite persuaded, and ready to be inter- ested, some indeed desiring to be amused. It seems to have been, in large measure, to meet this new demand, that William supplied his Book of Miracles. We shall look in vain here for those graphic descriptions of cures at the tomb, some of them incomplete, some followed by relapses, which Benedict gives us so frequently, thereby establishing his character at once for veracity, candour, and (so far as observable facts go, distinguished from inferences) for careful observation. And as William's book professedly ignores chronological order, it throws no light at all on any developments, changes, or deteriorations, that may have taken place in the manifestations at the tomb or elsewhere. However, it does contain a good many important letters attesting distant miracles. Some of these are found also in Benedict's book, and will be considered in the comparison, given further on, between the two versions of the Parallel Miracles: but others, even though written to Benedict himself, are not included in Benedict's book, perhaps because they were transferred by him, when he was busy as Prior, to the monk in charge of the tomb. In any case, we shall approach the Parallel Miracles in a better condition for discriminating between what is true and what is William's addition to the truth, or colouring of the truth, if we first review his work so as to elicit the characteristics of the narratives that he alone records.

Newmanianism: A Preface To The Second Edition Of Philomythus (1891) is a book written by Edwin Abbott Abbott. The book is a preface to the second edition of Abbott's earlier work, Philomythus, which was published in 1889. In this preface, Abbott discusses the influence of John Henry Newman on his thinking and writing. He argues that Newman's ideas are still relevant and important in the late 19th century, and that they can help us to understand the challenges of modern life. Abbott also explores the relationship between faith and reason, and the role of the individual in society. The book is written in a clear and accessible style, and will be of interest to anyone interested in philosophy, religion, and the history of ideas.Containing A Reply To The Editor Of The Spectator, A Few Words To Wilfrid Ward And Some Remarks On R.
