The coffin was completely full; and, from the tenacity of the cerecloth, great difficulty was experienced in detaching it successfully from the parta which it enveloped.
Strona 185 - ... of the reign of King Charles, was perfect. The shape of the face was a long oval ; many of the teeth remained ; and the left ear, in consequence of the interposition of the unctuous matter between it and the cere-cloth, was found entire.

Your Royal Highness will also pardon me for adding, that there is no less inconsistency than injustice in this treatment.
Strona 21 - I willingly hope that your own parental feelings will lead you to excuse the anxiety of mine for impelling me to represent the unhappy consequences which the present system must entail upon our beloved child. " Is it possible, sir, that any one can have attempted to persuade your royal highness, that her character will not be...
Strona 21 - Those who have advised you, Sir, to delay so long the period of my Daughter's commencing her intercourse with the world, and for that purpose to make Windsor her residence, appear not to have regarded the interruptions to her education which this arrangement occasions ; both by the impossibility of obtaining...
Strona 21 - That, however, was reduced to our meeting once a fortnight ; and I now learn that even this most rigorous interdiction is to be still more rigidly enforced.
