en used for a national object as great as
good. The work of his diocese, however, proving too much for his
strength, he announced the fact, and declared that, unless his bishopric
were divided, he would be compelled to resign it. Shortly afterwards he

{79a} Orang-utan.
{79b} The Buddhistic temple in Java, known as the temple of Borobodo.
