Popular passages
Page 366 - If a man were called to fix the period in the history of the world during which the condition of the human race was most happy and prosperous, he would, without hesitation, name that which elapsed from the death of Domitian to the accession of Commodus.
Page 495 - They are too voluminous for a complete translation of the whole; and what they contain would hardly reward the labour of the reader; much less that of the translator.
Page 403 - There was not a village in England that had not a ghost in it; the churchyards were all haunted; every large common had a circle of fairies belonging to it; and there was scarce a shepherd to be met with who had not seen a spirit.
Page 183 - The Grecian commonwealths, while they maintained their liberty, were the most heroic confederacy that ever existed. They were the politest, the bravest, and the wisest of men.

Page 113 - When they first landed, they were bands of fierce, ignorant, idolatrous, and superstitious pirates, enthusiastically courageous, but habitually cruel. Yet from such ancestors a nation has, in the course of twelve centuries, been formed, which, inferior to none in every moral and intellectual merit, is superior to every other in the love and possession of useful liberty: a nation which cultivates with equal success the elegancies of art, the ingenious labours of industry, the energies of war, the...
Page 229 - ... where my forefathers feast Daily on hearts of Spaniards ! — O my son, I feel the venom busy in my breast, Approach, and bring my crown, deck'd with the teeth Of that bold Christian who first dar'd...
