In what humour constant Socrates did thus, I know not, or how he might be affected, but this would be pernicious to another man; what intricate business might so really possess him, I cannot easily guess; but this is otiosum otium , it is far otherwise with these men, according to Seneca, Omnia nobis mala solitudo persuadet ; this solitude undoeth us, pugnat cum vita sociali ; 'tis a destructive solitariness. — from The Anatomy of Melancholy by Robert Burton

It is hardly surprising to find that this Prophetical literature was in turn liable to redaction, though in a different degree and for a different reason, since it has been preserved to us under peculiar conditions. — from The Evolution of Old Testament Religion by W. E. (William Edwin) Orchard
undoubtedly undoubtedly practical cries
or, is Christianity a matter of bare theory, and not a rule for our practice?" "Practical, undoubtedly; undoubtedly practical," cries the gentleman. — from Amelia — Volume 3 by Henry Fielding
uncertain until Penn came
Now, you remember as well as I do, that we had not a greater tory in Congress than Hooper; that Hughes was very wavering, sometimes firm, sometimes feeble, according as the day was clear or cloudy; that Caswell, indeed, was a good whig, and kept these gentlemen to the notch, while he was present; but that he left us soon, and their line of conduct became then uncertain until Penn came, who fixed Hughes, and the vote of the State. — from Memoir, Correspondence, And Miscellanies, From The Papers Of Thomas Jefferson, Volume 4 by Thomas Jefferson
us under present circumstances
In case of war with either Great Britain or Spain, this channel would be likely to be infested by hostile cruisers, close to their own base, the very best condition for a commerce-destroying war; and its protection by us under present circumstances will exact a much greater effort than with the supposed channel, or than if the Florida Peninsula did not exist. — from The Interest of America in Sea Power, Present and Future by A.

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?
