Стр. 252 - Ye powers who rule the tongue, if such there are, And make colloquial happiness your care, Preserve me from the thing I dread and hate — A duel in the form of a debate.

They name thee before me, A knell to mine ear ; A shudder comes o'er...

Стр. 189 - Love had he found in huts where poor Men lie : His daily Teachers had been Woods and Rills, The silence that is in the starry sky, The sleep that is among the lonely hills.
Стр. 52 - giant of the Western Star, Looks from his throne of clouds O'er half the world!
Стр. 106 - French brocade— a Neapolitan brigand — an edition of Horace Walpole, — do not combine a greater variety of hues and fantasticalities. After uttering a series of brilliant repartees and biting truths, that...
Стр. 230 - ... great reformer — a man who dared to be cleanly in the dirtiest of times — a man who compelled gentlemen to quit the coach-box, and assume a place in their own carriage — a man who induced the ingenuous youth of Britain to prove their valour otherwise than by thrashing superannuated watchmen — a man, in short, who will survive for posterity as Charlemagne of the great empire of Clubs.
Стр. xii - The vital importance of this subject is sufficient to ensure for it your early and most serious consideration. " The powers of the Commissioners appointed under the Act for the amendment of the Laws relating to the Poor expire at the termination of the present year. I feel assured that you will earnestly direct your attention to enactments which so deeply concern the interests of the community. " It is always with entire confidence...
