I'm glad you appreciated the quotes. It took me a lot of time to find 
and copy them

CJ (Now):
Just very quickly, it confirmed my suspicions that the objective case 
paradigm was relatively recently introduced. The fact that the author of 
your quote felt the need to make his argument at all shows that at the 
time he was writing (1878) it was not so well entrenched that its 
defenders didn't still feel compelled to defend it.
