A Cadmean victory.

A Greek proverb.

Συμμισγόντων δὲ τῇ ναυμαχίῃ, Καδμείη τις νίκη τοῖσι Φωκαι· εῦσι ἐγένετο. — Herodotus, i. 166.

A Cadmean victory was one in which the victors suffered as much as their enemies.

Adding insult to injury.

A fly bit the bare pate of a bald man, who, endeavouring to crush it, gave himself a heavy blow. Then said the fly, jeeringly, "You wanted to revenge the sting of a tiny insect with death; what will you do to yourself, who have added insult to injury?"

Quid facies tibi,

Injuriæ qui addideris contumeliam ?

Phædrus, The Bald Man and the Fly, Book v. Fable 3.

A foreign nation is a contemporaneous posterity. Byron's European fame is the best earnest of his immortality, for a foreign nation is a kind of contemporaneous posterity. — Stanley, or the Recollections of a Man of the World, [Horace Binney Wallace,] Vol. ii. p. 89.

A happy accident.

Madame de Staël, L'Allemagne, Ch. xvi.

All is lost save honour.

It was from the imperial camp near Pavia, that Francis the
First, before leaving for Pizzighettone, wrote to his mother
the memorable letter which, thanks to tradition, has become
altered to the form of this sublime laconism: "
'Madame, tout

est perdu fors l'honneur."
The true expression is, "Madame, pour vous faire savoir comme
se porte le reste de mon infortune, de toutes choses ne m'est
demeuré que l'honneur et la vie qui est sauvé." - Martin,
Histoire de France, Tom. viii.

The correction of this expression was first made by Sismondi, Vol. xvi. pp. 241, 242. The letter itself is printed entire in Dulaure's Histoire de Paris: "Pour vous avertir comment se porte le ressort de mon infortune, de toutes choses ne m'est demeuré que l'honneur et la vie, qui est sauvé."

All the brothers were valiant, and all the sisters virtuous. From the inscription on the tomb of the Duchess of Newcastle in Westminster Abbey.

Am I not a man and a brother?

From a medallion by Wedgwood (1768), representing a negro in chains, with one knee on the ground, and both hands lifted up to heaven. This was adopted as a characteristic seal by the Antislavery Society of London.

Appeal from Philip drunk to Philip sober.

Inserit se tantis viris mulier alienigeni sanguinis: quæ a Philippo

rege temulento immerenter damnata, Provocarem ad Philippum, inquit, sed sobrium. - Val. Maximus, Lib. vi. c. 2.

Architecture is frozen music.

Since it (architecture) is music in space, as it were a frozen music. . . . . If architecture in general is frozen music.. Schelling, Philosophie der Kunst, pp. 576, 593.

La vue d'un tel monument est comme une musique continuelle et fixée. Madame de Staël, Corinne, Livre iv. Ch. 3.

Art and part.

A Scotch law phrase, -an accessory before and after the fact. A man is said to be art and part of a crime when he contrives the manner of the deed, and concurs with and encourages those who commit the crime, although he does not put his own hand to the actual execution of it. - Scott, Tales of a Grandfather, Ch. xxii., Execution of Morton.
