Strana 359 - Tis not in mortals to command success, But we'll do more, Sempronius; we'll deserve it.
Strana 501 - ... beginning, I am still laboring to prop the frail and worthless fabric. Yet I have the murmurs of its friends no less than the curses of its foes for my reward.

Strana 215 - River; thence in a straight line to the head of St. Mary's River; and thence down the middle of that river to the Atlantic Ocean.
Strana 499 - Mr. Jefferson's discharge of his diplomatic duties was marked by great ability, diligence, and patriotism ; and while he resided at Paris, in one of the most interesting periods, his character for intelligence, his love of knowledge and of the society of learned men, distinguished him in the highest circles of the French capital. No court in Europe had at that time in Paris a representative commanding or enjoying higher regard, for political knowledge or for general attainments, than the minister...
