Halaman 298 - There is no doubt that, in general, America has retrograded in manners within the last thirty years. Boys, and even men, wear their hats in the houses of all classes, and before persons of all ages and conditions. This is not independence, but vulgarity ; for nothing sooner distinguishes a gentleman from a blackguard than the habitual attention of the former to the minor civilities established by custom. It has been truly said, that the man who is well dressed respects himself more, and behaves himself...
Halaman 521 - Till kings call forth th' ideas of your mind, (Proud to accomplish what such hands design'd) Bid harbours open, public ways extend, Bid temples, worthier of the God, ascend, Bid the broad arch the dangerous flood contain, The mole projected break the roaring main, Back to his bounds their subject sea command, And roll obedient rivers through the land.

Halaman 414 - The author appears to us to have neglected no sources of information, and to have exhausted them — in as far as regards the general scope and purpose of the inquiry. The graphical illustrations are such as become a work of this character upon such a subject ; — at, of course, a lavish cost...
Halaman 480 - ... recent in the minds of the audience, the noble cause to which he fell a martyr; their own sufferings and unparalleled injuries, all fresh in their minds, must have given weight and energy to whatever could be delivered upon the occasion. The dead body, like that of Caesar, before their eyes, whilst each wound, " like dumb mouths, did ope their ruby lips, To beg the voice and utterance of a tongue. Woe to the hands that shed this costly blood, A curse shall light
Halaman 413 - MEMORIALS OF THE ORDER OF THE GARTER, from its foundation to the present time ; with Biographical Notices of the Knights in the Reign of Edward III. and Richard II.
