Stran 457 - They are impatient of the restraints of law, religion, and morality; grumble about the taxes, by which rulers, ministers, and school-masters, are supported; and complain incessantly as well as bitterly, of the extortions of mechanics, farmers, merchants, and physicians, to whom they are always indebted. At the same time they are usually possessed, in their own view, of uncommon wisdom; understand medical science, politics, and religion, better than those, who have studied them through life...
Stran 24 - He that believeth and is baptised shall be saved, and he that believeth not shall be damned.
Stran 179 - British post, the capture of General Wadsworth was soon announced and the shore thronged with spectators, to see the man, who, through the preceding year, had disappointed all the designs of the British in that quarter ; and loud shouts were heard from the rabble which covered the shore ; but when he arrived at the fort and was conducted into the officers' guard room, he was treated with politeness.
Stran 22 - He had fifteen children ; ten of whom were married during his life, and one after his death. The remaining four died while young. This numerous family he educated with the means which have been mentioned, in a manner, superior to what is usually found in similar circumstances ; entertained much company in a style of genuine hospitality ; and was always prepared to contribute to the necessities of others.
Stran 151 - ... moss. As we passed onward through this singular valley, occasional torrents, formed by the rains and dissolving snows at the close of winter, had left behind them, in many places, perpetual monuments of their progress, in perpendicular, narrow and irregular paths of immense length, where they had washed the precipices naked and white, from the summit of the mountain to the base. Wide and deep chasms also...
Stran 401 - Their favorite food is clover and maize. Of the latter they devour the part which is called the silk ; the immediate means of fecundating the ear; and thus prevent the kernel from coming to perfection. But their voracity extends to almost every vegetable; even to the tobacco plant and the burdock. Nor are they confined to vegetables alone. The garments of laborers, hung up in the field while they are at work, these insects destroy in a few hours ; and with the same voracity they devour the loose...
Stran 148 - Half of the space is occupied by the brook mentioned as the head stream of the Saco ; the other half by the road. The stream is lost and invisible beneath a mass of fragments, partly blown out of the road, and partly thrown down by some great convulsion. When we entered the Notch, we were struck with the wild and solemn appearance of every thing before us. The scale, on which all the objects in view were formed, was the scale of grandeur only. The rocks, rude and ragged in a manner rarely paralleled,...
Stran 151 - The effect of this universal diffusion of gay and splendid light was to render the preponderating deep green more solemn. The mind, encircled by this scenery, irresistibly remembered that the light was the light of decay, autumnal and melancholy. The dark was the gloom of evening, approximating to night. Over the whole the azure of the sky cast a deep, misty blue, blending, toward the summits, every other hue, and predominating over all.
Stran 326 - It has an area of 3,286,487 square miles (8,511,965 square kilometres) and extends for almost 2,700 miles (4,300 kilometres) from north to south and about the same distance from east to west.
Stran 457 - ... they become at length discouraged ; and under the pressure of poverty, the fear of a gaol, and the consciousness of public contempt, leave their native places, and betake themselves to the wilderness.
