Strana 305 - Hope deferred maketh the heart sick : but when the desire cometh, it is a tree of life.
Strana 445 - Howitt. With an Appendix of the most remarkable and best authenticated Stories of Apparitions, Dreams, Second Sight, Table-Turning, and SpiritRapping, &c.
Strana 21 - I'll tell you, friend! a wise man and a fool. You'll find, if once the monarch acts the monk, Or, cobbler-like, the parson will be drunk, Worth makes the man, and want of it, the fellow; The rest is all but leather or prunella.
Strana 445 - Chalmers on the Adaptation of External Nature to the Moral and Intellectual Constitution of Man.
Strana 64 - Thy arts of building from the bee receive; Learn of the mole to plough, the worm to weave; Learn of the little nautilus to sail, Spread the thin oar, and catch the driving gale.
Strana 133 - ... is no bad performer ; and as to insects, if the black beetle, and beetles indeed of all hues, will keep out of my way, I have no objection to any of the rest ; on the contrary, in whatever key they sing, from the gnat's fine treble to the bass of the humble-bee, I admire them all.
Strana 444 - Comprehending the Chronology and History of the World, from the Earliest Times to the Russian Treaty of Peace, April 1856. By JW Rosse. 800 pages. i«.
Strana 25 - A dissenter, hut a liberal one ; a man of letters and of genius ; master of a fine imagination, or rather not master of it, — an imagination which, when he finds himself in the company he loves, and can confide in, runs away with him into such fields of speculation, as amuse and enliven every other imagination that has the happiness to be of the party. At other times he has a tender and delicate sort of melancholy in his disposition, not less agreeable in its way.
Strana 62 - I have asked this question formerly, and been at a loss to resolve it ; but I think I can answer it now. I will suppose myself born a thousand years before Noah was born or thought of. I rise with the sun ; I worship ; I prepare my breakfast ; I swallow a bucket of goat's milk, and a dozen good sizeable cakes.
