Сторінка 89 - It is thus embedded in the heart of the English monarchy — an element of poetic, patriarchal, heathen times, which, like Araunah's rocky threshing-floor in the midst of the Temple of Solomon, carries back our thoughts to races and customs now almost extinct ; a link which unites the Throne of England to the traditions of Tara and lona, and connects the charm of our complex civilization with the forces of our mother earth, — the stocks and stones of savage nature.
Сторінка 84 - It numbers within these boundaries 4,000,000 inhabitants. It comprises 100,000 foreigners from every quarter of the globe. It contains more Roman Catholics than Rome itself, more Jews than the whole of Palestine, more Irish than Dublin, more Scotchmen than Edinburgh, more Welshmen than Cardiff, and more country-bom persons than the counties of Devon, Warwickshire, and Durham combined.
