punishment a babbling tongue has incurred. 1870. Has tantas virtutes ingentia vitia æquabant; inhumana

crudelitas, perfidia plusquam Punica, nihil veri, nihil sancti, nullus Deorum metus, nullum jus jurandum, nulla religio. (L.) Liv. 21, 4.

Character of Hannibal. Consummate as were the powers of this famous man, they were balanced by vices equally great. An inhuman cruelty and a more than Punic perfidy stained his reputation, leaving him without regard for truth or honour, and without reverence either for the

Gods, for the sanctity of an oath, or plighted faith. 1871. Hâtez-vous lentement; et, sans perdre courage,
