Not illustrated. 1854 edition. Excerpt: ... the channel to hoist a shield. When this signal was raised, he ordered the whole fleet to push across at its utmost stretch of speed. Of the six Athenian generals, Conon alone was on the watch, and observed the enemy's approach. His own galley and eight others, including the Paralus, were soon manned; but this only enabled them to make their escape. The crews of the rest were too far off to be recalled by the signal which he gave, and Lysander found the ships nearly empty, and took possession of them, while Thorax, who commanded the land forces, scoured the country with his troops, and made the greater part of the men prisoners. v3.

Here, however, it is employed to designate a man of turbulent and intriguing spirit, one who is eager after power. (Daekne, ad loc.) It is said that, urged by ambitious hopes, Lysander meditated a scheme for abolishing the hereditary right of the descendants of Hercules, and rendering the Spartan throne elective, and that he had tampered largely with different oracles to promote this scheme.--Ejus opera. "By his means."--Pervenerint. On this use of the perfect, consult notes on Vit. Milt., chapter v., $ 2. v. Dictitassent. " Had frequently asserted." Observe the force of the frequentative verb.--Impotentem dominationem. "The outrageous tyranny." Impotens is properly said of one who is deficient in power over himself, his desires, &c. When applied to things, as in the present instance, it denotes something overstepping all ordinary bounds, &c.--jEgos flum.en. " Egos PoUmos," i. e., " Goat's River, ..".
