To Henrique Lopes de Men - donga, scholar, critic and poet, we owe some strong historical plays as well as the piece written with Lobato, which made a big hit.

Theobald's superiority to Warburton as a Shakespearean critic has long since been acknowledged.

It surprises me to find that such an idea has crossed the mind of any one, especially of a highly gifted critic.

It is important to stress that the redaction critic looks for patterns of changes in a particular gospel.

He was also a brilliant novelist and critic, and many consider him the greatest satirist of this century.

The academic enterprise would give the internal critic too much power; any creative infant would be strangled at birth.

We [Safilo USA and Solstice Sunglass Boutique] have fit thousands of celebrities at various events such as the Grammy's, American Music Awards and Critic's Choice Awards, to name a few.

The Blink Horn collection seems to speak to the inner art critic in everyone.

The overall style then is one of high fashion and discerning critic.

If you like Rombauer, as just about every American does and every critic with French trained buds does not, then you will also love this wine.

If you prefer luscious, youthful fruit bombs, for instance, and a wine critic is rating for aging potential, then you may really love something that they rate as merely quaffable.

One famous American critic, Clive Barnes, called Baryshnikov "the most perfect dancer."

The prices are affordable, and the restaurant has long been one of the notoriously picky San Francisco food critic Michael Bauer's favorite spots for Dim Sum.

Pulitzer Prize-winning critic and author Tim Page publicly defended his diagnosis of Asperger's Syndrome in an op-ed for the New York Times.

As a critic of independent views he won the approval of Goethe; on the other hand, he fell into violent controversy with Ranke about questions connected with Italian history.

Kant puts together, as belonging to " Rational Theology," three arguments - he is critic of fond of triads, though they have not the significance for him which they came to have for Hegel.

He was a diligent seeker after the truth, and was perfectly sincere when he informed a critic of the exact number of "truths" he had discovered, and when he remarked to one of his pupils a few days before his death, "Rest assured that what I have written in my book is the truth."

Bayle, a born journalist and the most able critic of the day, conceived the plan of the Nouvelles de la republique des lettres (1684-1718), which at once became entirely successful and obtained for him during the three years of his control the dictatorship of the world of letters.

Chenier's influence has been specially remarkable in Russia, where Pushkin imitated him, Kogloff translated La Jeune Captive, La jeune Tarentine and other famous pieces, while the critic Vesselovsky pronounces "Il a retabli le lyrisme pur dans la poesie frangaise."

We should think of him also as the creator and master of Latin style - and, moreover, not only as a great orator but as a just and appreciative critic of oratory.

Such were Valerius Cato also a distinguished literary critic, and C. Licinius Calvus, an eminent orator.

Nowhere can we find a better illustration of the French critic's definition of a great life - a thought conceived in youth, and realized in later years.

As a religious teacher, literary critic, historian and jurist, Mr Harrison took a prominent part in the life of his time, and his writings, though often violently controversial on political and social subjects, and in their judgment and historical perspective characterized by a modern Radical point of view, are those of an accomplished scholar, and of one whose wide knowledge of literature was combined with independence of thought and admirable vigour of style.

The works on which Bengel's reputation rests as a Biblical scholar and critic are his edition of the Greek New Testament, and his Gnomon or Exegetical Commentary on the same.

Griesbach, and worked up into an elaborate system by the latter critic. Bengel's labours on the text of the Greek Testament were received with great disfavour in many quarters.

His chief defect was an over-sensitiveness, leading to peevish and unreasonable behaviour in his private and official relations, to hasty and unbalanced judgments of persons and things that had given him annoyance, and to a despondency and discouragement which frustrated the great good he might have effected as a philosophic critic of public affairs.

When this has taken place on a considerable scale, the critic is helpless; but minor injuries may sometimes be traced and remedied.

Many times in the course of his investigations the critic will be confronted with problems which cannot be resolved by xxvi.

The critic has also to remember the historical value of Morris's literary influence, following upon the prim domesticities of early Victorian verse, and breaking in upon Tennyson's least happy phase of natural homeliness.

There is no Roman writer of satire who could be mentioned along with those others by so judicious a critic, except Juvenal.

Graetz attained considerable repute as a biblical critic. He was the author of many bold conjectures as to the date of Ruth, Ecclesiastes, Esther and other biblical books.

His historical style has won the warmest eulogy from so temperate a critic as Motley, and his letters are the most charming ever published in the Dutch language.

Newman declined further contributions from him to the British Critic, not deeming it advisable that they should longer "co-operate very closely."

No Chinese critic or foreign student of Chinese literature has yet been able to give a satisfactory account of the book.

Jules Lemaitre, a less sympathetic critic, finds in the extraordinary crimes of his heroes and heroines, his reactionary views, his dandyism and snobbery, an exaggerated Byronism.

It is a new stage of criticism on which we have entered, so that no single critic can be reckoned as the authority on Jeremiah.

In each case in which there is a genuine difference of reading between the two texts, it is for the critic to decide; often, however, he will have to seek to go behind what both the texts present in order to constitute a truer text than either.

But it is not of mind in this aspect 1 The revisional office which philosophy here assumes constitutes her the critic of the sciences.

As a literary critic, De Sanctis took a very high place, notably with his Storia della letteratura italiana (2nd ed., 1873) and with his critical studies, published in several volumes, some of them since his death at Naples in 1883.

Of Pertharite it need only be said that no single critic has to our knowledge disputed the justice of its damnation.

His democratic sympathies led him to support Etienne Marcel, and though he returned to his allegiance to the kings of France he remained a severe critic. Jean de Venette also wrote a long French poem, La Vie des trois Maria, about 1347.

Like many idealists, he was a severe critic of the faults of his own and other countries, and he added something to the increasing Chauvinism in Germany.

But in 1376-1377 he was known merely as the outspoken critic of the Caesarean clergy and the papacy.

In 1868 she married Count Bozenta Chlapowski, a Polish politician and critic, and almost immediately afterwards received an invitation to act at Warsaw.

The importance of Semler, sometimes called "the father of German rationalism," in the history of theology and the human mind is that of a critic of biblical and ecclesiastical documents and of the history of dogmas.

His great work was that of the critic. He was the first to reject with sufficient proof the equal value of the Old and the New Testaments, the uniform authority of all parts of the Bible, the divine authority of the traditional canon of Scripture, the inspiration and supposed correctness of the text of the Old and New Testaments, and, generally, the identification of revelation with Scripture.

The result is, however, that a critic of doctrine sometimes questions whether Athanasianism offers a definition of the mystery at all, or only.

A hostile critic might say that the conception affirms the absolute worth of sacraments while absolutely declining to say what they accomplish.

Harnack, a keenly hostile critic, draws attention to a change in the region of moral theology, not dogmatics.

The Rev. William Hazlitt (father of the essayist and critic), visiting the United States in 1783-1785, published the fact that there were Unitarians in Philadelphia, Boston, Charleston, Pittsburg, Hallowell, on Cape Cod and elsewhere.

And the libertarian critic had before him a comparatively easy task when he exhibited the complete interdependence of character and environment, or rather the impossibility of treating either as definite and fixed factors in a process explicable by the use of ordinary scientific categories.

And what perhaps would first strike an unprejudiced critic in Taylor's examples of conflicting ideals or antagonistic yet ultimate moral judgments would be the perception that they are not necessarily moral ideas or judgments at all, and hence necessarily not ultimate.

King Harold Sigurdsson, who fell at Stamford Bridge r066, was both a good critic and composed himself.

He was educated for the Protestant ministry, being ordained in 1819, when already teacher of the French language and literature in the gymnasium at Basel; and during the whole of his life he was as much a critic as a theologian.

Did the critic, asks Macaulay, ever hear any speaking that was less ornamented than that of Demosthenes, or more diffuse than that of Cicero?

Yet the critic's remark was not so pointless as Macaulay thought it.

But it is well to remember the charge made against the style of Demosthenes by a contemporary Greek orator, and the defence offered by the best Greek critic of oratory.

What wonder, then, asks the Greek critic, if the diligence of Demosthenes was no less incessant and minute?

He disapproved of the rising of the Scots, but was none the less a severe critic of the government of Charles I.

We found city visible in order the post-colonial critic the micro chenille.

Well now's your chance to be a theater critic!

Dr Ferriar, in his Illustrations of Sterne (published in 1798), pointed out several unacknowledged plagiarisms from Rabelais, Burton and others; but it is only fair to the critic to say that he was fully aware that they were only plagiarisms of material, and do not detract in the slightest from Sterne's reputation as one of the greatest of literary artists.

Cowell is more than just a fun-to-watch critic with a sharp tongue.

Travelocity and Cruise Critic are well-known outlets for last-minute bargains on cruises.

Cruise Critic claims that you can save up to 75 percent on cruises through its special deals and programs.

According to Cruise Critic, that's because most of the river cruises in the United States attract the "Midwestern, traditional set."

Cruise Critic is a great place to read recommendations and warnings posted by people who have experienced first-hand the type of accommodations offered on certain cruise ships.

The duo's easy-going vibe has attracted the ear of both fan and critic alike.

He was "a journalist before the days of journalism, a traveller before that of travelling, a critic of authorities before that of political oppositions."

An accomplished man of letters, a competent critic of art, a linguist of rare perfection and charming in manner, but cynical and pleasureloving, he was certainly one of the chief diplomatic personages in the reign of the last of the tsars.

He never held office again, but he was very active in support of the causes which he had at heart, such as tariff reform, and woman suffrage; he was a keen critic of Lord Haldane's army reforms, and threw himself vigorously into the " die-hard " campaign of 1911.

From 1861 to 1862 he was secretary of state in the Southern Confederacy; and from 1862 to 1865 was a member of the Confederate senate, in which he was, at times, a caustic critic of the Davis administration.

No accusation made by a critic ever fell so wide of the mark.

In science and theology, mathematics and poetry, metaphysics and law, he is a competent and always a fair if not a profound critic. The bent of his own mind is manifest in his treatment of pure literature and of political speculation - which seems to be inspired with stronger personal interest and a higher sense of power than other parts of his work display.

Menno's writings in Plattdeutsch, printed at various places, are numerous, with much sameness, and what an unfriendly critic would call wool-gathering; through them shines a character attractive by the sincerity of its simple and warm spirituality, the secret of Menno's influence.

From artichokes to arugula, the recipes are cleverly designed to excite even the most experienced food critic.

As an exegete and biblical critic no less than as a grammarian he has left his abiding mark.

He is, moreover, a judicious critic. The union of these four elements gives character to his theology, and in a certain degree to all subsequent theology.

And he was far the ablest and most dangerous critic of Bismarck's policy.

He became the financier of his party, preached unceasingly his cardinal doctrines of simplicity and economy, and was an effective critic of the measures of government.

But, as a rule, Wagner's poetic diction must simply be tolerated by the critic who would submit himself to Wagner's ideas.

He left South Africa while the economic crisis was still acute and at a time when the voice of the critic was audible everywhere; but, in the words of the colonial secretary (Mr Alfred Lyttelton) he had in the eight eventful years of his administration "laid deep and strong the foundation upon which a united South Africa would arise to become one of the great states of the empire."

He was the most active and effective critic of the three-years Military Service Law and other measures by which France sought in 1913 to meet German war preparations.

The only possible question for the critic is whether the ascription of these psalms to David was due to the idea that he was the psalmist par excellence, to whom any poem of unknown origin was naturally ascribed, or whether we have in some at least of these titles an example of the habit so common in later Jewish literature of writing in the name of ancient worthies.

Burmann was rather a compiler than a critic; his commentaries show immense learning and accuracy, but are wanting in taste and judgment.

Now it is true that the critic must be unconscious of some of the subtlest charms and nicest delicacies of language who would exclude from humorous writing all those impressions and surprises which depend on the use of the diverse sense of words.

The contrast between a campaign of Cromwell's and one of Turenne's is far more than remarkable, and the observation of a military critic who maintains that Cromwell's art of war was two centuries in advance of its time, finds universal acceptance.

A critic of intuition- Criticism alism might add that they are its whole strength; of intuitionalism is sound upon the intellectual and moral interests of humanity, but it does little to justify them.

Every critic could recognize the structural merits of the earlier plays, for their operatic conventionalities and abruptness of motive are always intelligible as stage devices.

Further, while the genius of Aquinas was constructive, that of Duns Scotus was destructive; Aquinas was a philosopher, Duns a critic. The latter has been said to stand to the former in the relation of Kant to Leibnitz.

In 1839 Ward became the editor of the British Critic, the organ of the Tractarian party, and he excited suspicion among the adherents of the Tractarians themselves by his violent denunciations of the Church to which he still belonged.

This history, as we now have it, is extracted from various sources of unequal value, which are fitted together in a way which offers considerable difficulties to the critic. In the history of David's early adventures, for example, the narrative is not seldom disordered, and sometimes seems to repeat itself with puzzling variations of detail, which have led critics to the unanimous conclusion that the First Book of Samuel is drawn from at least two sources.

A comparison of the two records, however, is especially important for its illustration of the later tendency to idealize the figure of David, and the historical critic has to bear in mind the possibility that this tendency had begun long before the Chronicler's time, and that it may be found in the relatively older records preserved in Samuel.

Hipparchus, the famous astronomer, on the other hand, (c. 150 B.C.) proved a somewhat captious critic. He justly objected to the arbitrary network of the map of Eratosthenes.

But he was no merely destructive critic. He was determined to find a solid foundation for both morality and law, and to raise upon it an edifice, no stone of which should be laid except in accordance with the deductions of the severest logic. This foundation is "the greatest happiness of the greatest number," a formula adopted from Priestly or perhaps first from Beccaria.

Miss Sullivan, who is an excellent critic, made suggestions at many points in the course of composition and revision.
