Strana 22 - Oh, there be players that I have seen play — and heard others praise, and that highly — not to speak it profanely, that neither having the accent of Christians, nor the gait of Christian, Pagan, or man, have so strutted, and bellowed, that I have thought some of nature's journeymen had made men, and not made them well, they imitated humanity so abominably.

If otherwise, he continues a slave for life, as do his children, if he had included them in the original agreement.

The Princess Pauline is fond of society ; she is, indeed, said to display much of the coquetry and vanity of a French woman of fashion. Canova has executed a statue of her, the symmetry and luxurious attitude of which is much admired. One evening she issued invitations...

Strana 10 - ... the unjust severity of the former. Our laws still authorize the creditor, after taking the greatest part of the debtor's property, to deprive him of his liberty by confining him in prison, without affording him the means of subsistence ; and, if poor and friendless, he will be unable to obtain even the liberty of the prison yard.
Strana 12 - In the year 1803, the Yellow Fever raged in this city with relentless fury. Every where the citizens fled from the destructive pestilence; the rich resorted to the seats of fashion and pleasure, the poor sought refuge in those shelters provided in the suburbs of the city by the benevolence of our active corporation.
