Σελίδα 348 - To abstract the mind from all local emotion would be impossible, if it were endeavoured, and would be foolish, if it were possible. Whatever withdraws us from the power of our senses ; whatever makes the past, the distant, or the future predominate over the present, advances us in the dignity of thinking beings.
Σελίδα 43 - And he will be a wild man ; his hand will be against every man, and every man's hand against him ; and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren.
Σελίδα 342 - ... Priestman, you style this a dull conversation, and endeavour to divert my mind from dwelling upon death, but I entertain very different sentiments.

Σελίδα 342 - ... life has rendered it impossible that I should get rid of this fever. If I had lived as you do, eating heartily of animal food, and drinking wine, I might, perhaps, by altering my diet, be able to subdue it. But how can such a man as I am lower his diet, who has been accustomed for years to exist upon vegetables and water, a little bread, and a little tea?
Σελίδα 461 - Prague the infantry cut off the cavalry ; and there were three-fold, and more, intrenchments, aud a whole fortress ; therefore, we attacked in columns. . The Storm* Break down the fence ! Throw wattles over the holes ! Run as fast as you can ! Jump over the palisades ! Cast your faggots (into the ditch...
Σελίδα 460 - ... with the help of small squares on the flank. In such a case, it will extend in a column; but till now we had no need of it. There are the God-forgetting, windy, light-headed Frenchmen; if it should ever happen to us to march against them, we must beat them in columns.
Σελίδα 345 - They had in vain besought him to allow a physician to be sent for ; but Admiral Mordvinof renewing this solicitation with great earnestness, Mr. Howard assented, by nodding his head. The physician came, but was too late to be of any service. A rattling in the throat had commenced, and the physician administered what is called the musk draught, a medicine used only in Russia in the last extremity.
