Стр. i - To purchase such books as shall be most needed for the College Library, so as best to promote the objects of the College.
Стр. 352 - Time was when it was praise and boast enough In every clime, and travel where we might, That we were born her children. Praise enough To fill the' ambition of a private man, That Chatham's language was his mother tongue, And Wolfe's great name compatriot with his own.

Стр. 103 - Give strong drink unto him that is ready to perish, and wine unto those that be of heavy hearts. 7 Let him drink, and forget his poverty, and remember his misery no more.
Стр. 36 - Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye ; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye ; and then shall thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.

Стр. 89 - Though restless still themselves, a lulling murmur made. Joined to the prattle of the purling rills, Were heard the lowing herds along the vale, And flocks loud bleating from the distant hills, And vacant shepherds piping in the dale: And now and then sweet Philomel would wail, Or stock-doves 'plain amid the forest deep, That drowsy rustled to the sighing gale ; And still a coil the grasshopper did keep; Yet all these sounds yblent inclined all to sleep.
