Strana 285 - say nothing of my religion. It is known to my God and myself alone. Its evidence before the world is to be sought in my life ; if that has been honest and dutiful to society, the religion which has regulated it cannot be a bad one.
Strana 192 - Let Mrs. Hamilton be immediately sent for — let the event be gradually broken to her; but give her hopes.
