Σελίδα 380 - It was ridiculous enough to see them stroking the sides, and patting the bellies of the sailors (who were certainly much improved in the sleekness of their looks, during our short stay in the island), and telling them, partly by signs, and partly by words, that it was time for them to go; but if they would come again the next bread-fruit season, they should be better able to supply their wants.
Σελίδα 211 - ... be too late to go back to their old less perfect contrivances, which they now despise, and have discontinued, since the introduction of ours. For, by the time that the iron tools, of which they are now possessed, are worn out, they will have almost lost the knowledge of their own. A stone hatchet is, at present, as rare a thing amongst them as an iron one was eight years ago ; and a chisel of bone, or stone, is not to be seen.
Σελίδα 532 - China ; the advantages that might be derived from a voyage to that part of the American coast, undertaken with commercial views, appear to me of a degree of importance sufficient to call for the attention of the public.
Σελίδα 71 - were afraid to come near our cows and horses, nor did they form the least conception of their nature. But the sheep and goats did not surpass the limits of their ideas ; for they gave us to understand that they knew them to be birds.
Σελίδα 371 - Webber, was one of the finest men I ever saw. He was about six feet high, had regular and expressive features, with lively, dark eyes ; his carriage was easy, firm, and graceful.

" At first," he says, " on entering the ship, they endeavoured to steal everything they came near, or rather to take it openly, as what we either should not resent or not hinder.
Σελίδα 147 - ... by the known rules of right, and with profligacy producing extreme indigence, and neglecting the means of relieving it. But at the Friendly and other islands which we visited, the thefts so frequently committed by the natives, of what we had brought along with us, may be fairly traced to less culpable motives.

Σελίδα 200 - Omai, from being much caressed in England, lost sight of his original condition, and never considered in what manner his acquisitions, either of knowledge or of riches, would be estimated by his countrymen at his return ; which were the only things he could have to recommend him to them now more than before, and on which he could build either his future greatness or happiness.

At noon, the latitude, by account, was 69° 34' and longitude 193°, and the depth of water twenty-four fathoms.
Σελίδα 115 - ... what the performers delivered in their speeches.
