Page 228 - English money of 234.OOO/.,3 and that in so doing the said Robert Lord Clive abused the powers with which he was intrusted, to the evil example of the servants of the public.
Page 78 - Fox's abilities are amazing at so very early a period, especially under the circumstances of such a dissolute life. He was just arrived from Newmarket, had sat up drinking all night, and had not been in bed. How such talents make one laugh at Tully's rules for an orator, and his indefatigable application. His laboured orations are puerile in comparison of this boy's manly reason.
Page 7 - They began by pulling off their embroidered clothes and put on frieze greatcoats, or turned their coats inside outwards for luck. They put on pieces of leather (such as are worn by footmen when they clean the knives) to save their laced ruffles, and to guard their eyes from the light and to prevent tumbling their hair wore high-crowned straw hats with broad brims and adorned with flowers and ribbons — masks to conceal their emotions when they played at quinze.

Page 460 - He then gives details of the news received, which seems to have been free from exaggeration. "The advice was immediately dispersed, while the government remained without any intelligence. Stocks immediately fell. The provincials had behaved with the greatest conduct, coolness, and resolution.
Page 482 - Chatham had come in, and his own father had been of the former Administration ; but with his usual quickness he soon recovered that slip and said, Lord Hardwicke had been a great lawyer but a wretched politician ; and when he gave place to Lord Chatham, all had prospered; "but...
Page 346 - He was sitting up in bed, with a satin eider-down quilt on his feet. He wore a duffil cloak, without arms, bordered with a broad purple lace. On his head he had a nightcap, and over that a hat with a broad brim flapped all round. It was difficult not to smile at a figure whose meagre jaws and uncouth habiliments recalled Don Quixote when he received the Duenna to an audience after he had been beaten and bruised, and was wrapped up in serecloths.
