Сторінка 79 - Mary the utmost beauty of countenance and elegance of shape of which the human form is capable. Her hair was black, though according to the fashion of that age she frequently wore borrowed locks, and of different colours. Her eyes were a dark gray, her complexion was exquisitely fine, and her hands and arms remarkably delicate, both as to shape and colour. Her stature was of a height that rose to the majestic.
Сторінка 79 - ... us to look on that tragical and infamous scene which followed upon it with less abhorrence. Humanity will draw a veil over this...
Сторінка 468 - I again sent to him to itop :—he said, as the prince had ordered us to advance, he thought we should move forward. I then let him proceed at the rate he liked, and kept my right up with him as regularly as I could, 'till we got to the rear of the infantry and our batteries.

Сторінка 131 - ... as equally repugnant to both. And, if ever I have given consent by my words, or even by my thoughts, to any attempt against the life of the queen of England, far from declining the judgment of men, I shall not even pray for the mercy of God...
Сторінка 360 - THE natural progress of the works of men is from rudeness to convenience, from convenience to elegance, and from elegance to nicety. The first labour is enforced by necessity. The savage finds himself incommoded by heat and cold, by rain and wind ; he shelters himself in the hollow of a rock, and learns to dig a cave where there was none before. He finds the sun and the wind excluded by the thicket, and when the accidents of the...
Сторінка 79 - Mary's sufferings exceed, both in degree and in duration, those tragical distresses which fancy has feigned to excite sorrow and commiseration ; and while we survey them, we are apt altogether to forget her frailties, we think of her faults with less indignation, and approve of our tears, as if they were shed for a person who had attained much nearer to pure virtue.
Сторінка 468 - All I insist upon is, that I obeyed the orders I received, as punctually as I was able ; and if it was to do over again, I do not think I would have executed them ten minutes sooner than I did, now I know the ground, and what was expected...
Сторінка 468 - I hesitated in obeying orders, it is you. I will relate what I know of that, and then appeal to you for the truth of it. When you brought me orders to advance with the...
