Stran 494 - twas I — I forged the letter — I disposed the picture — I hated — I despised — and I destroy.' " I ask, my lords, whether the revengeful temper, attributed by poetic fiction only to the bloody African, is not surpassed by the coolness and apathy of the wily American ?

Stran 374 - They did not say, these are the rights of the great barons, or these are the rights of the great prelates : — No, my lords ; they said, in the simple Latin of the times, nullus liber homo, and provided as carefully for the meanest subject as for the greatest.
