and philosopher of the third century, were counted in the Spectator's day the classic authorities from ancient time on the criticism of art.

Clubs; in the early eighteenth century, informal associations of men who gathered on stated occasions at some inn or coffee-house, usually for political chat as well as for good fellowship.

Every Member shall fill his Pipe out of his own Box. III. If any Member absents himself he shall forfeit a Penny for the Use of the Club, unless in case of Bickness or Imprisonment.

Country gentleman, Sections 16, 17, 18. Cowley, Abraham; a diplomatist, poet and essayist of the generation just previous to Addison and Steele. In his own day his verse was regarded as a model of cultivated poetry, and his essays must still be regarded as a model of correct and simple prose. He aimed to make "moderation in all things" attractive to his readers. "Not he who blindly follows all his Pleasures," he asserted, "is the true Gentleman, but he who rationally guides them." "If I want Skill and Force to restrain the Beast that I ride upon, tho' I bought it and call it my own, yet in the truth of the matter I am at that time rather his man than he my horse"; p. 121, 1. 13

leges of lawyers and law-students, which had the sole right of conferring the degree of barrister at law. These four Inns were named, from the halls of residence and meeting places of their members, Lincoln's Inn and Gray's Inn (anciently belonging to the Earls of Lincoln and Gray) and the Inner (p. 56, 1. 27) and Middle Temple (once the property of the Knights Templars). A member of either the Inner or Middle Temple was called a Templar. New Inn (p. 57, 1. 25) was attached to the Middle Temple and was known as an inn of chancery. Pleasant walks and gardens were connected with these Inns, and Will Honeycomb and Sir Roger enjoyed them. Lincoln'sInn-Fields (p. 64, 1. 9) was a public square neighboring Lincoln's Inn.
