Strana 227 - O Lord God, thou strength of my health ; thou hast covered my head in the day of battle.
Strana 128 - Whitehall ; and there (at 10 am), usually in presence of the Prince of Wales and other members of the Royal Family...
Strana 204 - Here landeth as true a subject, being a prisoner, as ever landed at these stairs ; and before thee, O God! I speak it, having no other friends but thee alone.
Strana 298 - I withdraw myself from these uncomfortable scenes into the visionary worlds of art ; where I meet with shining landscapes, gilded triumphs, beautiful faces, and all those other objects that fill the mind with gay ideas, and disperse the gloominess which is apt to hang upon it in those dark, disconsolate seasons.

Strana 188 - Beneath is buried Ch. Wren, architect of this Church and City, who lived for more than ninety years, not for himself, but for the public good. Reader, if thou seekest his monument, look around.
Strana 212 - This place is holy, the ground is holy. In the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, I pronounce it holy.
Strana 259 - Librarian, specifying their profession or business, their place of abode, and the purpose for which they seek admission. Every such application must be made two days, at least, before admission is required, and must be accompanied by a written recommendation from a householder or a person of known position, mentioning in full his or her name and address, and stating that he or she possesses a personal knowledge of the applicant, and of his or her intention to make proper use of the Reading Room....
