Well, sorrow a bit but it was just that same sort, sir — a kind of a blessed and holy woman. The like I niver saw in London before or since, and wishes myself back in Dublin oncet more.

Maria Theresa, who, in her dull, maternal despotism, neither respected, nor probably remembered, the former independence of the provinces, had, however, the sense to discover, in the memorials of their former greatness, " des monumens fort utiles pour la conservation de...
