Stran 257 - Talk not to us," said the Governor-General, " of their guilt or innocence, but as it suits the Company's credit ! We will not try them by the Code of Justinian, nor the Institutes of Timur. We will not judge them either by...
Stran 408 - Princess distinguished by every eminent virtue and amiable endowment ; whose illustrious line has constantly shown the firmest zeal for the Protestant Religion, and a particular attachment to my Family.
Stran 250 - For me, O Shore ! I only claim To merit, not to seek for fame, The good and just to please, A state above the fear of want, Domestic love, Heaven's choicest grant, Health, leisure, peace, and ease.
