Strana 73 - ... a multitude of pillars and white domes, clustered into a long low pyramid of coloured light; a treasure-heap, it seems, partly of gold, and partly of opal and mother-of-pearl, hollowed beneath into five great vaulted porches, ceiled with fair mosaic, and beset with sculpture of alabaster, clear as amber and delicate as ivory...
Strana 5 - The thing you ask of me is both difficult and useless.

Strana 56 - The education of the child must accord both in mode and arrangement with the education of mankind, considered historically.
