That Aristotle has not been generally followed in views essentially so natural and pregnant as these is due no doubt to want of thoroughness in conceiving them, not only on the part of his read ers but even on his own part; for he treated the soul, which should be on his own theory only an expression and an unmoved mover, as a power and an efficient cause. — from The Life of Reason: The Phases of Human Progress by George Santayana

removed except by express
No trees or shrubbery over 8 inches in diameter measured 5 feet above ground shall be cut down or removed except by express permission, in writing, from the Director of County Development of Fairfax County, or the successor to his duties, provided, however, that management of existing trees, shrubs or other vegetation, including trimming and removal, may be accomplished in accord with accepted professional practice at the time such work is performed, without such permission. — from Salona, Fairfax County, Virginia by Ellen L.

recognized examining body every
The minute we depart from a standard text [Pg 63] like Euclid's, and have no recognized examining body, every one is free to set up his own standard, always within the somewhat uncertain boundary prescribed by public opinion and by the colleges. — from The Teaching of Geometry by David Eugene Smith
But, from the prodigious accession of territorial possession, including the whole of the vast Dutch empire in the East, the communications between these and British India have necessarily increased a thousand fold; consequently, the recent alarming depredations upon our commerce, the serious obstacles to a safe communication, almost tantamount to a blockade of our Eastern ports by these pirates, imperiously call upon the British Government to adopt the most energetic means and decisive measures to crush their power and annihilate their resources, either by extirpating them wholly, or placing them and their possessions [ 399 ] under such future control and checks, as shall prevent the possibility of a revival of a power capable of recurring to enormities that have so long outraged and disgraced the British flag in the Eastern seas. — from The Expedition to Borneo of H.M.S.

For the Suppression of Piracy by Rajah of Sarawak James
You are met To overthrow this Monster of a state, This mockery of a Government, this spectre, Which must be exorcised with blood,—and then We will renew the times of Truth and Justice, Condensing in a fair free commonwealth Not rash equality but equal rights, 170 Proportioned like the columns to the temple, Giving and taking strength reciprocal, [399] And making firm the whole with grace and beauty, So that no part could be removed without Infringement of the general symmetry. — from The Works of Lord Byron.

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?
