الصفحة 56 - Such are their ideas ; such their religion, and such their law. But as to our country and our race, as long as the wellcompacted structure of our church and state, the sanctuary, the holy of holies of that ancient law, defended by reverence, defended...
الصفحة 170 - Three out of four will have been written by that class of women who have the most leisure and the most interest in a correspondence by the post — that class who combine more of intelligence, cultivation, and of thoughtfulness, than any other in Europe — the class of unmarried women above twenty-five — an increasing class ; 2 women who, from mere dignity of character, have renounced all prospects of conjugal and parental life, rather than descend into habits unsuitable to their birth.
الصفحة 248 - Great we cannot call him in conscience ; and, therefore, by way of compromise, we call him long, which, in one sense, he certainly was ; for he lived through four-and-twenty Olympiads, each containing four solar years. He narrowly escaped being a hundred years old ; and though that did not carry him from centre to centre, yet, as each system might be supposed to protend a radius each way of twenty years, he had, in fact, a full personal cognisance (and pretty equally) of the two systems, remote as...
