...published in an edition edited by Howard Colvin and John Newman in 1981 under the shorter title Of Building ; its value is greatly enhanced by the survival of thirteen personal notebooks on architectural matters compiled in the 1660s by Sir Roger Pratt , published as R. T. Gunther , The Architecture of Sir Roger Pratt ( 1928 ). Taken together, the writings of these two cultivated landed gentlemen give a vivid and complementary picture of the practicalities involved in the building of country houses in the second half of the 17th century which can...

...old tradesman's ideal, the one Daniel Defoe had commemorated in 1720 as the capacity to speak to 500 people of different occupations and ranks and have them understand one's meaning all in the same way. Re-employed in 1821 , the effect of this trade-language principle was to desituate and unsocialize the language of social and cultural criticism. Hazlitt opposed the natural syntax of the King's English to provincial or local usages appearing in the coteries of cultural conservatives like William *Gifford or John Wilson. Today, any knowledgeable reader...

The question of how far the theological aspects of wisdom in the book represent a later religious or ‘Yahwistic’ reinterpretation of an earlier ‘secular’ wisdom has been the subject of much debate (see Wilson 1987 : 313–33 ). 2. The similarity between the instructions in Proverbs and Egyptian texts used in the education of royal princes and state officials (see prov 1:8–16 ; 22:17–24:22 ) has often been observed. It has been argued that court schools also existed in Israel and...

And I asked the angel and said, ‘Sir, who are those in the fiery river?’ And the angel answered and said to me, ‘They are neither hot nor cold, because they were found neither in the number of the just nor in the number of the godless. For those spent the time of their life on earth passing some days in prayer, but others in sins and fornications, until their death.’ And I asked him and said, ‘Who are these, sir, immersed up to their knees in fire?’ He answered and said to me, ‘These are they who when...

...or the grouping of similar psalms, such as the ‘Hallelujah’ psalms ( Ps 111–13; 146–50 ), could explain the ordering, but this is a piecemeal approach. The psalms in praise of the law ( Ps 1; 19; 119 ) have been seen as markers of one stage in the growth of the Psalter. Wilson ( 1985 ) points to the presence of royal psalms at the main divisions of the first three books ( Ps 2; 72; 89 ), and traces an overarching scheme of YHWH's covenant with David (bks. 1–2), the failure of that covenant (bk. 3), and the answer to this in the kingship of YHWH (bk....
