Σελίδα xxvii - The sunken glen, whose sunless shrubs must weep, The tender azure of the unruffled deep, The orange tints that gild the greenest bough, The torrents that from cliff to valley leap, The vine on high, the willow branch below, Mix'd in one mighty scene, with varied beauty glow.
Σελίδα lxviii - The Governor and Company of Merchants of London trading to the East Indies...
Σελίδα lxxxix - ... candidates who shall have obtained a greater aggregate number of marks than any of the remaining candidates will be set forth in order of merit, and such candidates shall be deemed to be selected candidates for the Civil Service of India.

This arises from .the woollen covering being a non-conductor, while the linen transmits the heat.
Σελίδα 129 - They breed no animals save the buffalo, nor do they engace in agriculture or any other pursuit, but wander over the hills, of which it is said they are the aborigines, free and unshackled. In their Mortis, their dairies form a separate building of superior size, which is viewed by them as sacred, and into which no female is allowed to enter.
Σελίδα 18 - It is equally a matter of doubt to what deity the sea-side pagoda was originally dedicated. In the chamber next the sea is a gigantic lingam of black polished stone, which would lead us to suppose it a temple of Siva. On the other hand, there is a gigantic figure of Vishnu, in a recumbent posture, in one of the verandahs. The uncertainty on all these points may, perhaps, heighten the zest of inspection.
Σελίδα xi - ... which, indeed, renders it a peculiarly agreeable vehicle. On the same principle may be explained the pleasurable feeling and utility of shampooing, where the gentle pressure and friction of the soft Asiatic hand over the surface of the body, but particularly over the limbs, invigorate the circulation after fatigue, as well as after long inaction, and excite the inert cuticular secretion.
