Nic. 1098 a 8 ff. says that the function of a harper and that of a good harper are generically the same. Cf. Crito 48 A. surely is concerned with nothing else than how to provide what is best for that over which is set, since its own affairs, its own best estate, are entirely sufficiently provided for so long as it in nowise fails of being the shepherd's art.

vomit a stream of liquid fire. The art of compounding it was preserved at Constantinople as the palladium of the state. Its galleys and artillery might occasionally be lent to the allies of Rome, but the secret of the Greek-fire was concealed with the most jealous scruple for above four hundred years. The Princess Anna Comnena, in mentioning resin, sulphur, and oil as its components, only intended, it is probable, to baffle curiosity by telling just so much as everybody knew already. In 1098, the fleet of Alexis Comnenus used Greekfire against the Pisans. His ships had siphos fore and aft, in form of syringes, which squirted the inflamed matters. It is believed that the ancient Byzantium was marked by the present walls of the Seraglio. Con- stantine enlarged it A. D. 328, gave it its name, and made it the rival of Rome.

Howard maintained the right of Congress to initiate the proceedings, and contended at length that the President's action was premature and illegal. Reverdy Johnson divided from his Southern associates and supported the resolution. Johnson and Sumner fell into an incidental controversy as to the meaning of the term, the consolidation of the Union, in Washington's letter to Congress, Sept. 17, 1787. Congressional Globe, pp. 1068, 1098, 1103, 1104. There was a colloquy between Sumner and Johnson as to the power of a State to establish slavery— the former denying and the latter affirming it. The supporters of the resolution were determined to force a final vote on that day. Trumbull called upon senators, in order to dispose of the matter, to attend at a night session to hear all the senator from Massachusetts had to say, and then vote on his amendments. The principal debaters at the evening session, which began at seven, we
