It is a curious feature in nomenclature how strongly glory and fame are the leading notion of the entire race, whose national title of glory has had such a fall. _Slav_ is an inevitable termination; _voj_ almost as constantly used; and even the tenderest commencements are forced to love war, and to love fame.
