Σελίδα 316 - God willeth not the death of a sinner, but rather that he. should turn from his wickedness and live.
Σελίδα 25 - Deem our nation brutes no longer, Till some reason ye shall find Worthier of regard, and stronger Than the colour of our kind.

Σελίδα 384 - Street belonged solely to my mother, with the exception of a library and single bedroom. This was the extent of my expenditure, so far as domestic expenditure is concerned. I am next accused of being an habitual gambler, an accusation which, if true, might easily account for the diffusion of the property. I am, indeed, a member of two clubs, the Albion and the Stratford, but never in my life did I play in either, at cards or dice, or any game of chance ; this is well known to the gentlemen of these...
Σελίδα 352 - would be in it," — meaning what they (Hunt and John Thurtell) were about. Thurtell drove off from Tetsall's between four and five o'clock to take up a friend, as he said to Probert, " to be killed as he travelled with him :" an expression which Probert said at the time he believed to have been a piece of idle bravado.
