Страница 166 - I must do it justice ; it was a complete system, full of coherence and consistency ; well digested, and well com-, posed in all its parts. It was a machine of wise and elaborate contrivance ; and as well fitted for the oppression, impoverishment, and degradation of a people, and the debasement, in them, of human nature itself, as ever proceeded from the perverted ingenuity of man.
Страница 260 - Gosse's application for a few reminiscences with 'a horrid little boy, with a big head and a pasty complexion, who looked as though a course of physical exercise would have done him good...
Страница 172 - There have been divers good plots devised, and wise counsels cast already about reformation of that realm ; but they say it is the fatal destiny of that land that no purposes whatsoever which are meant for her good will prosper or take good effect...
