Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

It is an attitude which shows the mind as ruler, the attitude of the thinker, the scholar, the gentleman. It indicates concentration. Attention! Exercise V.--Action con.-con. Standing in the lengths; the strong leg is back, its knee bent; the free leg is in front, the knee straight. The condition shown is prostration; the sentiment, despondent passion. Attention!
