Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Say Now Shibboleth A Bit Of Wordly Wisdom "I win not tell you where he lived; too much Already has been said: it would be spiteful. Many unkind remarks are made by such As live in places far, far less delightful. Be this enough: it may be plainly stated, His mind was very highly cultivated." While yet a small boy I was persuaded to earnest and painstaking study of language by hearing a report of a memorable examination. Some of you may have seen it: "And the Gileadites took the passages of Jordan before the Ephraimites; and it was so, that when those Ephraimites which were escaped said, Let me go over; that the men of Gilead said unto him, Art thou an Ephraimite? If he said, Nay: Then said they unto him. Say now Shibboleth; and he said Sibboleth; for he could not frame to pronounce it right. Then they took him, and slew him at the passages of Jordan." They were purists, I take it. Forty-and-two thousand failed to pass. The Gileadites were a strong and vigorous stock.
