Whose Excellency in the art of Education made him so famous all over Europe, as to be solicited by several States and Princes to go and reform the Method of their Schools; and whose works carried that Esteem, that in his own Life-time some part of them were not only translated into 12 of the usual Languages of Europe, but also into the Arabic , Turkish , Persian , and Mogolic (the common Tongue of all that part of the East-Indies ) and since his death, into xxx the Hebrew , and some others. — from The Orbis Pictus by Johann Amos Comenius

Further the ideas of the modifications, whereby the body is affected, involve the nature of the human body itself (II. xvi.), that is (II. xiii.), they agree with the nature of the mind; wherefore the knowledge of these ideas necessarily involves knowledge of the mind; but (by the last Prop.) — from Ethics by Benedictus de Spinoza

We shall, therefore (by the first part of this proof), endeavour to destroy the same, or (III. xiii.) to remove it from us, so that we may not regard it as present; this was our second point. — from Ethics by Benedictus de Spinoza

Proof: Assume that all the terms of a series, e.g. the qualities of tone, c d e f g , have something in common,— no matter what it is , call it X ; then I say that the differing parts of each of these terms must not only be differently constituted in each, but must themselves form a series , whose existence is the ground for our apprehending the original terms in serial form. — from The Principles of Psychology, Volume 1 (of 2) by William James

Proof); nevertheless it will continue to conceive it, until the mind conceives something else, which excludes the present existence thereof (II. xvii.); that is (as I have just shown), the power of the mind and of the body is diminished, or constrained, until the mind conceives something else, which excludes the existence of the former thing conceived: therefore the mind (III. — from Ethics by Benedictus de Spinoza

We may affirm the same thing of each part of each individual composing the human body; therefore, the knowledge of each part composing the human body is in God, in so far as he is affected by very many ideas of things, and not in so far as he has the idea of the human body only, in other words, the idea which constitutes the nature of the human mind (II. xiii); therefore (II. xi. Coroll.), the human mind does not involve an adequate knowledge of the human body. — from Ethics by Benedictus de Spinoza

Examples of his use of classical constructions are: the ablative absolute, as, which doen (IV, xliii ); the relative construction with when , as, which when (I, xvii ), that when (VII, xi ); the comparative of the adjective in the sense of "too," as, weaker (I, xlv ), harder (II, xxxvi ); the participial construction after till , as, till further tryall made (I, xii ); the superlative of location, as, middest (IV, xv ); and the old gerundive, as, wandering wood (I, xiii ). — from Spenser's The Faerie Queene, Book I by Edmund Spenser

It only perceives its own body (II. xix.) through the ideas of the modifications, and only perceives external bodies through the same means; thus, in so far as it has such ideas of modification, it has not an adequate knowledge of itself (II. xxix.), nor of its own body (II. xxvii.), nor of external bodies (II. — from Ethics by Benedictus de Spinoza

And in the languid laziness that stole upon Venice, as well as upon us, I penetrated for the first time to the inner meaning of the chapter in his Venetian Life that Howells labels Comincia far Caldo , the season when repose takes you to her inner heart and you learn her secrets, when at last you know why it was an Abyssinian maid who played upon her dulcimer, at last you recognize in Xanadu the land where you were born. — from Nights: Rome, Venice, in the Aesthetic Eighties; London, Paris, in the Fighting Nineties by Elizabeth Robins Pennell
This tab, called Hiding in Plain Sight,
shows you passages from notable books where your word is accidentally (or perhaps deliberately?)
spelled out by the first letters of consecutive words.
Why would you care to know such a thing? It's not entirely clear to us, either, but
it's fun to explore! What's the longest hidden word you can find? Where is your name hiding?
