Σελίδα 27 - Parliament, and that it shall not be lawful for any body, politic or corporate, whatsoever erected, or to be erected, or for any other persons whatsoever united, or to be united, in covenants or partnership, exceeding the number of six persons, in that part of Great Britain called England, to borrow, OWE, or take up any sum or sums of money on their bills or notes payable at demand...
Σελίδα 154 - With a strong feeling of awful sorrow, we take leave of the subject. Death creeps upon our most serious as well as upon our most idle employments ; and it is a reflection solemn and gratifying, that he found our Byron in no moment of levity, but contributing his fortune, and hazarding his life, in behalf of a people only endeared to him by their past glories, and as fellow-creatures suffering under the yoke of a heathen oppressor.
Σελίδα 153 - There has been no reposing under the shade of his laurels, no living upon the resource of past reputation ; none of that coddling and petty precaution, which little authors call " taking care of their fame." Byron let his fame take care of itself.
Σελίδα 198 - THROUGH thy battlements, Newstead, the hollow winds whistle ; Thou, the hall of my fathers, art gone to decay ; In thy once smiling garden, the hemlock and thistle Have choked up the rose which late bloom'd in the way.
Σελίδα 27 - England, to borrow, owe, or take up any sum or sums of money, on their bills or notes, payable at demand, or at any less time than six months from the borrowing thereof...
Σελίδα 1 - The lesser reform has been attempted with " every possible advantage in its favour; not only " from the zealous support of the advocates for a " more effectual one, but from the assistance of men " of great weight, both in and out of power. But " with all these temperaments and helps it has failed.
Σελίδα 189 - Down thuu'tt fa' — — now who knows but the pony may be a « mare's ae foal ;' and we are both ' widow's ae sons ;' but you have a sister, and 1 have nobody to lament for me but my mother." The other boy consented ; but as soon as young Byron had escaped the terrors of the bridge, the other insisted upon following his example. He too rode safely across, and they concluded that the pony was not the • only production of its mother.
Σελίδα 1 - The weight of corruption has crushed this more gentle, as it would have defeated any more efficacious, plan in the same circumstances. From that quarter, therefore, I have nothing to hope. IT is FROM THE PEOPLE AT LARGE THAT I EXPECT ANY GOOD ; and I am convinced that the only way to make them feel that they are really concerned in the business, is to contend for their full, clear, and indisputable riylits of universal representation.
Σελίδα 190 - Byron/' the boys set up a shout, which the master could not suppress, and this had such au effect upon him, that it was with great difficulty he could be prevailed upon to continue at the school. His elevation seemed to give him no great pleasure; and the distance which many of his old companions felt it proper to keep from him, upon its being made generally known, gave him so much pain that he occasionally burst into tears.
Σελίδα 180 - we are both young, and the world is very censorious ; and so, if I were to take any active part in the promoting of your subscription, I fear it would do you harm rather than good.".
