Nell'autunno del 1869 mi trovavo a villeggiare ad Intra sul lago Maggiore.

La Sintassi della lingua italiana offre, per essere ben trattata, difficoltà di gran lunga maggiori, che non l¿etimologia. Lasciando stare l¿immensa materia che essa comprende, i suoi costrutti hanno una instabilità e varietà più grande, che non abbiano le forme delle parole. E per verità in questa parte, più che altrove, l¿uso regolare introdotto dalle scritture, e l¿uso popolare cö suoi idiotismi differiscono sovente, e gli scrittori stessi, anche buoni e corretti, ora all¿uno ora all¿altro propendono. Nè questa varietà si può, nella maggior parte dei casi, rimuovere, senza impoverire la lingua o nuocere alle varie e mutabili necessità dello stile, di cui uno dei mezzi più efficaci sta...

Chi può assistere al matrimonio di un vecchio con una giovinetta, senza provare quella strana amarezza nel cuore che non si sa bene definire, se derivata più dal predominio di un sentimento di gelosia o di compassione? Certo fa male all'anima: ecco la vaga e dolorosa sensazione. Io ero ancor ragazzo allora; avevo quell'età in cui l'amore è un sentimento disperante e soave, quando più fortemente si invidia ogni coppia innamorata, come per una felicità carpita a noi stessi, e, studentello abbandonato ai miei capricci, spasimante d'adorazione per ogni palpito d'amore che vibrasse nell'aria, esaltato dalle fiamme di rapidi desideri non sempre soddisfatti....

Nel luglio del 1890 Gavina Sulis finì i suoi studi. Suo padre, ex-impresario di strade comunali, uomo abbastanza intelligente, le aveva fatto ripetere la quarta classe elementare, perchè nella piccola città non v'erano altre scuole femminili. Il giorno degli esami ella se ne tornava a casa pensando che oramai erano finiti per lei i giorni di libertà e d'ozio. Aveva quasi quattordici anni; si credeva già una donna matura, e ricordava le parole del suo confessore: «Il Signore ha detto che la donna deve custodire la casa, fuggire l'ozio e le cattive compagnie». Riguardo alle «compagnie» ella sfuggiva non solo le cattive, ma anche le buone; e imitava appunto il suo confessore che andava s...

L'on. Giovanni Zibordi ha inviato al ministro delle finanze, on. Meda, questa interrogazione: Il sottoscritto interroga l'on. ministro delle finanze per sapere se, in vista dei molteplici cespiti di lucro che lo stato d'animo creato dalla guerra ha apportato alla Chiesa, e in considerazione delle numerose forme di speculazione sui rischi di guerra che la Chiesa stessa ha iniziato e va esercitando col richiedere alle famiglie oboli votivi in cambio di funzioni propiziatrici della divina grazia per la incolumità dei loro cari combattenti, non intenda che sia da estendere ai sacerdoti la imposta sui sopraprofitti di guerra.

Già nei preliminari alla prima parte della Sintassi spiegammo che cos¿è la proposizione, ne enumerammo gli elementi, e ne distinguemmo, in generale, le diverse specie, ed i modi con cui l¿una all¿altra si collega. Senza ripetere le definizioni date colà, vogliamo in questa parte seconda esporre primieramente l¿uso delle parti o degli elementi della proposizione in generale, e venir dipoi a insegnare l¿uso delle diverse proposizioni in particolare, considerate sì in sè stesse come nel loro accoppiamento.

Di tutti i figliuoli del conquistatore soli Simone e Rugiero a lui sopravvissero; anzi tanto breve ed oscuro visse Simone, che molti pensano d¿essere anch¿egli morto prima del padre. Sin dall¿infanzia Rugiero diede a conoscere non ordinaria elevatezza d¿animo e perspicacia di ingegno. Vivente il padre, non altro erano i suoi fanciulleschi trastulli, che simulacri di guerra. Egli e ¿l piccolo Simone si facevan capitani di due schiere d¿altri fanciulli, che combattevano tra esse. Rugiero, che riusciva sempre vincitore in tali combattimenti, motteggiava il maggior fratello, dicendogli: Così trionferò di te dopo la morte di nostro padre e ti farò vescovo o papa: chè sei solo da ciò.

grandezza di Roma, allorchè, assoggettati al suo imperio i vicini, ridotti in condizione poco men che servile i lontani, sulla sottomissione degli uni, e sulle rovine degli altri, ebbe essa fondato una potenza salda per leggi, per armi temuta, per costumanze e consuetudine rispettata. Se non che i primordii stessi della dominazione romana riuscirono alle popolazioni italiane elemento di cittadine guerre e discordie; perciocchè se da un lato coll'incorporarle al suo dominio fondò la repubblica romana una equalità territoriale per tutto lo Stato, dall'altro...

Poteano i primi Greci, che qui vennero a stanziare, per lo cui mezzo le notizie di quell¿età a noi si tramandarono, dare agli Aborigeni il nome di ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ (figli della terra). Vuolsi che i primi, che trovarono in Egitto l¿arte di lavorare il ferro, e di fabbricare con grandi macigni ed informi, nell¿andar sotterra per trarne i massi e ¿l ferro, portavano una lucerna legata alla fronte; onde nacque la favola d¿esservi una straordinaria genìa d¿uomini, con un solo occhio circolare, per cui ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ furono poi detti: e tal nome poi si diede ai fabbri e muratori delle seguenti età. Però ogni paese aver potea i giganti e i ciclopi suoi. E, perchè prima di ridursi a vita civile, molti ...

Nel render che facciamo alla pubblica luce le graziosissime Poesie del celebre Fiorentino Burchiello, che il tempo, e la scarsezza delle edizioni aveva fatte assai rare, crederemmo mancare in parte ai doveri di un esatto editore, se lasciassimo di render ragione al Benigno Lettore di quel che ci. ha mosso a sì fatta impresa, e di quali mezzi ci siamo serviti per bene e perfettamente eseguirla. Ma prima di passare a questo, crediamo di non far cosa disgradevole a chi non abbia di questo bizzarro Poeta una sufficiente idea, a raccogliere alcuna notizia toccante la di lui vita, e i sentimenti degli uomini scienziati circa il di lui Stile, e maniera di poetare.

C¿era una volta un pover¿omo, che aveva tre figliole; e siccome tra di queste la più piccina era anco la più bella e garbata e di naturale dolce, così quell¿altre due sorelle l¿astiavano a morte, abbeneché il sü babbo, tutt¿all¿incontrario, gli volesse dimolto bene. ¿Gli accadde che in un paese vicino, per l¿appunto nel mese di gennaio, e¿ ci fussi una gran fiera, e quel pover¿omo bisognò che ci andasse per far le provviste necessarie al campamento della sü famiglia, e domandò, prima di mettersi in istrada, alle sü tre figliole, se loro bramassono qualche regaluccio, proporzionato, s¿intende, alle sü facoltà.

Arrovellava intanto papa Bonifazio al vedere che tutti gli sforzi suoi erano stati fino allora inutili a vincere la longanimità de¿ Siciliani; però mosse contro la Sicilia un nuovo nemico. Era in Francia Carlo conte di Valois, fratello del re Filippo il Bello, il quale avea nome di gran guerriero. A costui si rivolse, mettendo avanti il solito zimbello di una spedizione per Terra Santa: e chiamatolo a se con tal pretesto, gli promise di dare a lui il governo di quella guerra e di farlo re dei Romani, dopo d¿aver deposto Alberto di Habsbourg: e per maggiormente indurlo gli fe¿ menare in moglie la stessa Catarina di Courtenay che avea proposto a re Federigo per uccellarlo, assicuran...

La partenza di Giovacchino e della consorte Carolina da Napoli lasciò il campo intieramente libero a coloro, i quali parteggiando alla scoperta pei Borboni, o maneggiandosi nascostamente per la ristaurazione loro, si studiavano di suscitare per ogni dove le antiche inclinazioni, e fece del tutto cessare il bellicoso umore dei muratiani. Nè è da dire, che ai partigiani dell'ultimo re mancasse l'uso delle cose militari, o la memoria d'illustri fatti, o l'animo bene apparecchiato a farli valere; ma li sconfortavano da una banda la condizione loro attuale di uomini vinti e la presenza nel regno dei Tedeschi vincitori;
