Strona 256 - He, whom the mind alone can perceive, whose essence eludes the external organs, who has no visible parts, who exists from eternity, even he, the soul of all beings, whom no being can comprehend, shone forth in person.
Strona 49 - The same is the case in the West Indies. Long, in his history of Jamaica, expressly affirms ' that the children born in England have not, in general, lovelier or more transparent skins than the offspring of white parents in Jamaica.' But it may be urged that this is not the case with respect to the other nations of the Caucasian variety, who have been settled in warm climates from time immemorial, and that the question ought to be decided by the Moors, Arabians, &c. Their children, however, are also...
Strona 184 - Now this was the manner in former time in Israel concerning redeeming and concerning changing, for to confirm all things ; a man plucked off his shoe, and gave it to his neighbour: and this was a testimony in Israel.
