Сторінка 152 - Statutes at Large : the works of Hume, Gibbon, Robertson, Beattie, Soame Jenyns, and generally all those volumes which " no gentleman's library should be without : " the Histories of Flavius Josephus (that learned Jew), and Paley's Moral Philosophy.
Сторінка 387 - Stagnum Aporicum" is Lochaber; so here we have a pauper from the neighbourhood of Lochaber — a designation which I take to be familiarly known at "the Board of Supervision for the Relief of the Poor in Scotland.
Сторінка 305 - And they bore him to the Lady Chapel, And waked him there all day. A lady came to that lonely bower, And threw her robes aside ; She tore her ling long yellow hair, And knelt at Barthram's side.
Сторінка 83 - How doth the little busy bee Improve each shining hour, And gather honey all the day From every opening flower!
