Pàgina 355 - Je suis la plaie et le couteau ! Je suis le soufflet et la joue ! Je suis les membres et la roue, Et la victime et le bourreau...
Pàgina 327 - Fortunatus's purse of good sentiments in hia inside. In this particular he was like the girl in the fairy tale, except that if they were not actual diamonds which fell from his lips, they were the very brightest paste, and shone prodigiously. He was a most exemplary man: fuller of virtuous precept than a copy-book.
Pàgina 109 - Johnson's aesthetic judgments are almost invariably subtle, or solid or bold ; they have always some good quality to recommend them except one : they are never right.
Pàgina 328 - He was a most exemplary man: fuller of virtuous precept than a copy-book. Some people likened him to a direction-post, which is always telling the way to a place, and never goes there: but these were his enemies; the shadows cast by his brightness; that was all.

Pàgina 218 - Never, I should think, has so much first-rate brain power been put into an act of legislation ; and never, I should think, has a nation so thoroughly said its say about its system of law.
Pàgina 135 - That there shall not be, in the eye of the law, any distinction or disqualification whatever, founded on mere distinction of colour, origin, language, or creed ; but that the protection of the law, in letter and in substance, shall be extended impartially to all alike.
Pàgina 143 - Ministers will, 1 feel sure, recognise that in all the circumstances now existing, and in view of the presence of British troops in the colony, His Majesty's Government are entitled and were in duty bound to obtain full and precise information in reference to these martial law cases, in regard to which an Act of Indemnity has ultimately to be assented to by the Crown. In the light of the information now furnished His Majesty's Government recognise that the decision of this grave matter rests in the...
