Strana 160 - ... members of his majesty's government ; but so great is their integrity, so complete their disinterestedness, so uniformly do they prefer the public advantage to their own, that such a measure is altogether unnecessary. Their disapproval is sufficient to warrant an opposition ; precautions can only be requisite where danger is apprehended ; here, the high character of the individuals in question is a sufficient guarantee against any ground of alarm.
Strana 311 - As for the spirit of the peasantry, in making a gallant defence behind hedgerows, and through plate-racks and hencoops, highly as I think of their bravery, I do not know any nation in Europe so likely to be struck with panic as the English ; and this from their total unacquaintance with the science of war.
Strana 160 - Was the honourable gentleman (let me ask him) always of this way of thinking? Do I not remember when he was the advocate in this House of very opposite opinions? I not only quarrel with his present sentiments, Sir, but I declare very frankly, I do not like the party with which he acts. If his own motives were as pure as possible, they cannot but suffer contamination from those with whom he is politically associated. This measure may be a boon to the constitution; but I will accept no favour to the...
Strana 43 - ... is enough of her to furnish wives for a whole parish. One man marry her ! it is monstrous. You might people a colony with her ; or give an assembly with her ; or perhaps take your morning's walk round her, always provided there were frequent resting-places, and you were in rude health. I once was rash enough to try walking round her before breakfast, but only got half-way and gave it up exhausted. Or you might read the Riot Act and disperse her ; in short, you might do anything with her but marry...
Strana 292 - Pope is not landed — nor are there any curates sent out after him — nor has he been hid at St. Alban's by the Dowager Lady Spencer — nor dined privately at Holland House — nor been seen near Dropmore. If these fears exist (which I do not believe), they exist only in the mind of the Chancellor of the Exchequer ; they emanate from his zeal for the Protestant interest ; and, though they reflect the highest honour upon the delicate irritability of his faith, must certainly be considered as more...
Strana 161 - Sir; I deny the charge. I hate innovation, but I love improvement. I am an enemy to the corruption of government, but I defend its influence. I dread reform, but I dread it only when it is intemperate. I consider the liberty of...
Strana 160 - ... by whom this is proposed, will propose to you others to which it will be impossible to give your consent. I care very little, Sir, for the ostensible measure; but what is there behind? What are the honourable gentleman's future schemes?
Strana 74 - Young Crumpet is sent to school — takes to his books — spends the best years of his life, as all eminent Englishmen do, in making Latin verses — knows that the crum in crum-pet is long, and the pet short — goes to the University — gets a prize for an Essay on the Dispersion of the Jews — takes orders — becomes a bishop's chaplain — has a young nobleman for his pupil — publishes an useless classic, and a serious call to the unconverted — and then goes through the Elysian transitions...
Strana 302 - Hawkesbury would call the wisdom of the village ancestors), the inhabitants of three of the streets, about a hundred years ago, seized upon the inhabitants of the fourth street, bound them hand and foot, laid them upon their backs, and compelled them to look on while the rest were stuffing themselves with beef and beer; the next year the inhabitants of the persecuted street (though they contributed an equal quota of the expense) were treated precisely in the same manner. The tyranny grew into a custom;...
Strana 43 - Going to marry herl" he exclaimed, bursting out laughing ; " going to marry her ! impossible ! ' you mean, a part of her : he could not marry her all himself. It would be a case, not of bigamy, but trigaray ; the neighbourhood " or the magistrates should interfere. There is enough of her to "furnish wives for a whole parish. One man marry her! — it is || monstrous. You might people a colony with her ; or give an ^ assembly with her ; or perhaps take your morning's walk round
