"A nice specimen of ursus horribilis," Beresford murmured to his companion one day.

The others are the great Kadiak bear (U. middendorfi); the grizzly (U. horribilis), and the black or true American bear (U. americanus).

In terris oppressa gravi cum religione, Quae caput a coeli regionibus ostendebat, Horribili super aspectu mortalibus instans," &c. "When human kind was drench'd in superstition, With ghastly looks aloft, which frighted mortal men," &c. He alone, like another Hercules, did vindicate the world from that monster.

Had man never pushed Thor and his kind to the death the world would not have known him as Ursus Horribilis the Terrible.

And such, in days to come, would Muskwa be, even though he was a black and not of the family Ursus Horribilis Ord.

Relligione Quae caput a coeli regionibus ostendebat, Horribili super aspectu mortalibus instans.

Wednesday, July 7, 1714. 'Adsit Regula, peccatis quæ poenas irroget æquas: Ne Scutica dignum horribili sectere flagello.'

So unlovely has religion been made by it, Horribili super aspectu mortalibus instans, that now, as 2000 years ago, men are lapsing into Atheism or Pantheism; and a totally new "dispensation" is wanted to retrieve the lost reputation of Piety.
