الصفحة 345 - Bourdaloue is, indeed, a great reasoner, and inculcates his doctrines with much zeal, piety, and earnestness; but his style is verbose, he is disagreeably full of quotations from the fathers, and he wants imagination. Massillon has more grace, more sentiment, and, in my opinion, every way more genius. He discovers much knowledge both of the world and of the human heart; he is pathetic and persuasive; and, upon...
الصفحة 441 - The mouth or mouths of the kiln are now dammed up with a shinlug, which consists of pieces of bricks piled one upon another, and closed with wet brick earth, leaving above it just room sufficient to receive a fagot. The fagots are made of furze, heath, brake, fern, &c., and the kiln is supplied with these until its arches look white, and the fire appears at the top; upon which the fire is slackened for an hour, and the kiln allowed gradually to cool. This heating and cooling is repeated until the...

It is eaten both cold and hot, and the natives seldom make a meal without it, though...
الصفحة 332 - Such a permission is absolutely necessary, and is impliedly given him in the very act of constituting him master, not indeed by the common law, but by the marine law, which in this respect is reasonable ; for if a ship happen to be at sea, and spring a leak, or the voyage is likely to be defeated for want of necessaries, it is better that the master should have it in his power to pledge the ship and goods, or either of them, than that the ship should be lost, or the voyage...
الصفحة 386 - After having devoured all the leather in our vessel, even to the covering of the trunks, we thought ourselves approaching to the last moment of our life ; but necessity suggested to some one the idea of pursuing the rats and mice ; and we had the greater hope of taking them easily, because, having no more crumbs, nor any thing to devour, they ran in great numbers through the vessel, dying from hunger.
الصفحة 407 - ... bread. After having boiled onethird of peeled apples, he bruised them, while quite warm, into two-thirds of flour, including the proper quantity of yeast, and kneaded the whole without water, the juice of the fruit being quite sufficient. When this mixture had acquired the consistency of paste, he put it into a vessel, in which he allowed it to rise for about twelve hours. By this process he obtained a very excellent bread, full of eyes, and extremely palatable and light.
