``Our Peers have, in too many cases, laid aside their frogs, laces,
bagwigs; and go about in English costume, or ride rising in their
stirrups,--- in the most headlong manner; nothing but insubordination,
eleutheromania, confused unlimited opposition in their heads.''
(Carlyle, _French Revolution_, 1.3.IV)
