الصفحة 22 - Cross a brook, and you lose the king of England ; but you have some comfort in coming again under his majesty, though " shorn of his beams," and no more than prince of Wales. Go to the north, and you find him dwindled to a duke of Lancaster ; turn to the west of that north, and he pops upon you in the humble character of earl of Chester.

الصفحة 38 - This is superstitiously to embalm a carcass not worth an ounce of the gums that are used to preserve it. It is to burn precious oils in the tomb ; it is to offer meat and drink to the dead, — not so much an honour to the deceased, as a disgrace to the survivors. Our palaces are vast inhospitable halls. There the bleak winds, there ' Boreas, and Eurus, and Caurus, and Argestes loud...
الصفحة 54 - I never would suffer any man or description of men to suffer from errors that naturally have grown out of the abusive constitution of those offices which I propose to regulate. If I cannot reform with equity, I will not reform at all.
الصفحة 61 - What the law respects shall be sacred to me. If the barriers of law should be broken down, upon ideas of convenience, even of public convenience, we shall have no longer any thing certain among us.
