Стр. 38 - Aguasarco assert that flames were seen to issue forth for an extent of more than half a square league, that fragments of burning rocks were thrown up to prodigious heights, and that through a thick cloud of ashes, illumined by the volcanic fire, the softened surface of the earth was seen to swell up like an agitated sea.
Стр. 119 - And thou hast walked about (how strange a story !) In Thebes's streets, three thousand years ago, When the Memnonium was in all its glory, And time had not begun to overthrow Those temples, palaces, and piles stupendous, Of which the very ruins are tremendous ! 2.

Speak! for thou long enough hast acted dummy. Thou hast a tongue, - come, let us hear its tune; Thou'rt standing on thy legs above ground, mummy! Revisiting the glimpses of the moon, Not like thin ghosts or disembodied creatures, But with thy bones and flesh, and limbs and features.

Speak! for thou long enough hast acted dummy; Thou hast a tongue — come — let us hear its tune; Thou'rt standing on thy legs, above ground, mummy!
Стр. 168 - A whole lake of fire also opened in a more distant part. This could not have been less than two miles in circumference, and its action was more horribly sublime than any thing I ever imagined to exist, even in the idler visions of unearthly things.
Стр. 416 - The hamlet is inhabited by the Otomacs, one of the rudest of the American tribes. These Indians swallow quantities of earth for the purpose of allaying hunger. When the waters are low they live on fish and turtles ; but when the rivers swell, and it becomes difficult to procure that food, they eat daily a large portion of clay. The travellers found in their huts heaps of it in the form of balls, piled up in pyramids three or four feet high. This substance is fine and unctuous, of a yellowish-gray...
