Strana ii - NEW YORK: D. APPLETON & COMPANY, 200 BROADWAY. MDCCCXLH. V ENTERED, according to Act of Congress, in the year 1842, BY D. APPLETON & COMPANY, in the Clerk's Office of the District Conrt of the United States, for the Southern District of New York.
Strana 100 - ... country, of prime importance. For a window is but another name for a stately picture. There are no such landscapes on canvas as those which you see through glass. There are no painted windows like those which trees and lawns paint standing in upon them, with all the glory of God resting on them!
Strana 100 - English windows, large as the whole side of a room, many-angled, or circular ; but? of whatever shape, they should be recessed— glorious nooks of light, the very antitheses of those shady coverts which we search out in forests, in hot summer days. These little chambers of light, into which a group may gather, and be both in doors and out of doors at the same time ; where, in storms or in winter, we may have full access to the elements without chill, wet, or exposure,- — these are the glory of...
Strana 62 - The fact is, I never met with the architect yet, who did not think ornament meant a thing to be bought in a shop and pinned on, or left off, at architectural toilets, as the fancy seized them, thinking little more than many women do of the other kind of ornament — the only true kind — St. Peter's kind — ' not that outward adorning, but the inner of the heart.
Strana 47 - The dress, the furniture, the equipage, the mode of living, and the manners, will all correspond with the appearance of the buildings, and will universally be in every such case of a vulgar and debased nature. On the inhabitants of such a town it will be difficult, if not impossible, to work a conviction, that intelligence is either necessary or useful. Generally they will regard both learning; and science only with contempt. Of morals, except in the coarsest form, and that which has the least influence...

On the inhabitants of such a town, it will be difficult, if not impossible. to work a conviction, that intelligence is either necessary or useful. Generally, they will regard both learning and science only with contempt. Of morals, except in the coarsest form, and that which has the least influence on the heart, they will scarcely have any apprehensions. The rights enforced by municipal law they may be compelled to respect, and...
Strana 96 - This point has been alluded to already, but it is so important that we venture to give line upon line. The position, on the whole, most eligible for this house is one in which its shaded side should face the west, and its parlor windows look out upon the south. The road might wind round its southern end, with a sufficient space between for shrubbery and lawn, while the garden might stretch down toward the vale. Upright boarding is the proper covering for the sides of this building, though clapboards...
Strana 48 - The rights enforced by municipal law they may be compelled to respect, and the corresponding duties they may be necessitated to perform. But the rights and obligations, which lie beyond the reach of magistracy, in which the chief duties of morality are found, and from which the chief enjoyments of society spring, will scarcely gain even their passing notice. They may pay their debts, but will neglect almost every thing of value in the education of their children. The very fact, that men see good...

Strana 47 - The first thing powerfully operated upon, and, in its turn, proportionately operative, is the taste. The perception of beauty and deformity, of refinement and grossness, of decency and vulgarity, of propriety and indecorum, is the first thing which influences man to attempt an escape from a grovelling, brutish character ; a character in which morality is chilled^ or absolutely frozen. In most persons, this perception is awakened by what may be called the exterior of society, particularly by the mode...
