Σελίδα 19 - Lent was, because every one should be pure at that holy time, and should do no wrong at a time of purity. And with mutual counsel and deliberation the wise men there assembled examined the ancient laws ; some of which they suffered to continue unaltered, some they amended, others they entirely...
Σελίδα 80 - Cook was then the only one remaining on the rock. He was observed making for the pinnace, holding his left hand against the back of his head to guard it from the stones and carrying his musket under the other arm An Indian was seen following him, but with caution and timidity, for ne stopped once or twice, as if undetermined to proceed.
Σελίδα 14 - I, then, Alfred, king, gathered these together, and commanded many of those to be written which our forefathers held, those which to me seemed good ; and many of those which seemed to me not good I rejected them, by the counsel of my
Σελίδα 9 - I know you are an expert workman ; take these tools to work with ; they are the best I have ;" and so gave him the books and papers.
Σελίδα 11 - ... man once very radiant to men, as obscure as he has now grown : a most high-riding far-shining Solar Luminary in that epoch; obscure to no man in England for thirty years last past ! A man of restless mercurial vivacity, of endless superficial dexterity and ingenuity, of next to no real wisdom; — very fit to have swift promotions and sudden eclipses in a Stuart Court ; not worthy of much memory otherwise.
