Strona 386 - Here lies our good Edmund, whose genius was such, We scarcely can praise it, or blame it too much ; Who, born for the Universe, narrow'd his mind, And to party gave up what was meant for mankind.
Strona 461 - I can say, and will say, that as a peer of Parliament, as speaker of this right honourable house, as keeper of the great seal, as guardian of his majesty's conscience, as lord high chancellor of England, nay, even in that character alone in which the noble duke would think it an affront to be considered...

Strona 451 - Foley," turning to the captain, "I have only one eye, — I have a right to be blind sometimes...
Strona 309 - Many times he could not recollect what had become of him ; and after searching in every room of the house, he would say to his niece, Mrs Glennie, " You may think it " strange, but I must ask you if I have a son, and
Strona 249 - The trial scene wound up the fulness of my reputation ; here I was well listened to, and here I made such a silent yet forcible impression on my audience that I retired from this great attempt most perfectly satisfied.
Strona 353 - ... her case. The omission of her name in the liturgy ; the withholding the means of conveyance usually afforded to all the branches of the royal family ; the refusal even of an answer to her application for a place of residence in the royal mansions ; and the studied slight, both of English ministers abroad and of the agents of all foreign powers over whom the English government had any influence, — must be viewed as measures designed to prejudice the world against her, and could only have been...
