Pàgina 500 - To live a life half dead, a living death, And buried; but O yet more miserable! Myself my sepulchre, a moving grave...
Pàgina 480 - Though the question is not a very easy one, we shall venture to say that a bull is an apparent congruity and real incongruity of ideas suddenly discovered. And, if this account of bulls be just, they are (as might have been supposed) the very reverse of wit; for, as wit discovers real relations that are not apparent, bulls admit apparent relations that are not real.
Pàgina 221 - No humane being, past the thoughtless age of boyhood, will wantonly murder any creature which holds its life by the same tenure that he does. The hare in its extremity cries like a child. I warn you, mothers, that my sympathies do not always make the usual philanthropic distinctions.
Pàgina 498 - And whereas the papist boasts himself to be a Roman Catholic, it is a mere contradiction, one of the pope's bulls, as if he should say, universal particular, a catholic schismatic. For catholic in Greek signifies universal : and the christian church was so called, as consisting of all nations to whom the gospel was to be preached; in contradistinction to the Jewish church, which consisted for the most part of Jews only.

Pàgina 267 - This day,' say the old Newspapers, ' the most Illustrious Lady, the Lady Frances Cromwell, youngest Daughter of his Highness the Lord Protector, was married to the most noble gentleman Mr. Robert Rich, Son of the Lord Rich, Grandchild of the Earl of Warwick and of the Countess-Dowager of Devonshire ; in the presence of their Highnesses, and of his Grandfather, and Father, and the said Countess, with many other persons of high honour and quality.
Pàgina 352 - As I am launched upon the literary world here, I find my opportunities of observation extending. Murray's drawingroom is a great resort of first-rate literary characters ; whenever I have a leisure hour I go there, and seldom fail to meet with some interesting personages. The hours of access are from two to five. It is understood to be a matter of privilege, and that you must have a general invitation from Murray. Here I frequently meet with such personages as Gifford, Campbell, Foscolo, Hallam,...
Pàgina 219 - I verily believe that the earth in one year produces enough food to last for thirty. Why, then, have we not enough ? Why do people die of starvation, or lead a miserable existence on the verge of it ? Why have millions upon millions to toil from morning to evening just to gain a mere crust of bread?
Pàgina 202 - I STROVE with none, for none was worth my strife; Nature I loved, and next to Nature, Art; I warmed both hands before the fire of life; It sinks, and I am ready to depart.
Pàgina 488 - Old Satan lent them fiery stores, Infernal coal, and sulphurous flame, And all that burns, and all that roars, Outrageous fires of dreadful name. Beneath the senate and the throne, Engines of hellish thunder lay ; There the dark seeds of fire were sown, To spring a bright, but dismal day.
