With regard to all the failings and offences which fall under this head, it may be remarked that, from their false show of generosity, society is apt to treat them too venially, except where they entail degradation or disgrace.

1884, Thomas Fowler, Progressive Morality:

And a person may sin venially by the inversion of the Hours, The obligation binds sub veniali only.

And those Affectators of Variety seem equally ridiculous, who, when they have spoken barbarously once, repeat the same Thing much more barbarously; and then over and over again much more unlearnedly.

1878, N. Bailey., Colloquies of Erasmus, Volume I.:

Better far for such victims had they, instead of aspiring to the vanities of a "classical education," sat, like Keats, unlearnedly at the feet of quaint Chapman, or Dryden, or even of Mr. Pope.

But there are, nevertheless, plenty of passages, both in Tristram Shandy and the Sentimental Journey, where the intention is wholly and unmixedly pathetic--where the smile is not for a moment meant to compete with the tear--which are, nevertheless, it must be owned, complete failures, and failures traceable with much certainty, or so it seems to me, to the artistic error above-mentioned.

Nor was ever any great writer's influence upon his fellows more utterly and unmixedly an influence for good.

Hence they determined to turn first in the direction of these doubtful parties, hoping that since they were far stronger in point of weapons and were willing to bestow favors ungrudgingly they might soon either persuade or force them to join.

McClellan at once wrote that he should continue to "work just as cheerfully as before;" but he felt that the removal was very unhandsomely made just as he was entering upon active operations.

1899, John T. Morse, Abraham Lincoln, Vol. I.:

And Rudolph Musgrave, knowing that according to his lights he had behaved not unhandsomely, was the merest trifle patronizing and rather like a person speaking from a superior plane in his future dealings with Patricia.

1915, James Oliver Curwood, The Hunted Woman:

A grim meaning rose in the vacuous eye of Lovel; Isaacs caressed his diamond pin, smiling in a sickly fashion; McNamara's wandering stare fixed and grew unhumanly bright; Ufert openly dropped his hand on his gun-butt and stood sullenly defiant.

Julien, his nephew, too, had loved; but his cousin's love was given to his brother, and he departed, unmurmuringly indeed, but he dared not yet trust himself to associate calmly with the object of his love: he had ever been a peculiarly sad and silent boy; the fate of his father never for an instant seemed to leave his mind, and he had secretly vowed to avenge him.

1851, Grace Aguilar, The Vale of Cedars:

He coveted the popular applause as little as he had dreaded the popular opposition; and the evening's painful experiences had taught him anew the bitter lesson to expect no gratitude, and hope for no reward, but simply, and contentedly, and unmurmuringly, to work on in God's vineyard so long as life and health should last.

When the sky cleared it was discovered that from indispensable fellow-workers they had shrunk to dwarfish protegees, mere units of an inferior category, who were to be told what to do and would be constrained to do it thoroughly if not unmurmuringly.

1909, William James, A Pluralistic Universe:

Bertha's description of her as having flat red hair, a receding chin and long ear-rings was impressionistically accurate.

Separation Sunday and The Sunset Tree both work because their story cycles are composed not with conventional conflict-and-resolution plot mechanics but of emotional snapshots that work together impressionistically.

We first underline that despite relevant Godunov type methods actually enjoy several stability properties, their corresponding numerical rate of entropy dissipation stays always smaller than the required one in (2) and as a result, the discrepancies with the exact solutions can only unendly amplify with time.
