Strana 13 - DEAR CHLOE, while the busy crowd, The vain, the wealthy, and the proud, In folly's maze advance ; Though singularity and pride Be call'd our choice, we'll step aside, Nor join the giddy dance. From the gay world we'll oft retire To our own family and fire, Where love our hours employs ; No noisy neighbour enters here, No intermeddling stranger near, To spoil our heartfelt joys.

Strana 281 - Providence, internal tranquillity shall be restored, it is our earnest desire to stimulate the peaceful industry of India, to promote works of public utility and improvement, and to administer its government for the benefit of all our subjects resident therein. In their prosperity will be our strength ; in their contentment our security ; and in their gratitude our best reward.
Strana 108 - ... Korea, where I became the third-ranking official in our military government, and when Korea became an independent country, I was importuned to head the Korea Program Division of the Economic Cooperation Administration in Washington. The Korean war brought me back to Korea where I witnessed the terrible already tied to the guns; that such a proceeding would have the worst effect on the people around us; and so the last six rebels were blown away as had been the fortythree before them.
Strana 175 - Every one seemed to have lost his head. " Matters reached such a pitch that a conspiracy was formed by a -number of men in Calcutta who bound themselves in the event of Government adhering to the proposed legislation to overpower the sentries at Government House, put the Viceroy on board a steamer at Chandpal Ghat and deport him to England round the Cape".
Strana 108 - I7th he telegraphed to the Government : ' I am on the spot, and can dispose of the cases according to form and without delay. Exceptional action not necessary and would increase excitement better allayed.' On the i8th, however, having been informed by Mr Cowan of the ghastly tragedy which had been enacted, he wrote to him in the following terms: ' My dear Cowan, I fully approve and confirm all you have done. You have acted admirably. I am coming out.
Strana 180 - To me it seems a very serious thing to put forth to the people of India a doctrine which renders worthless the solemn words of their Sovereign, and which converts Her gracious promises, which Her Indian subjects have cherished for a quarter of a century, into a hollow mockery, as meaningless as the compliments which form the invariable opening of an oriental letter...
