Seite 155 - It amounted, perhaps, to two Yorkshires in extent. A naturally opulent country of fertile meadows, shipping capabilities, metalliferous hills, and at this time, in consequence of the Dutch-Spanish war, and the multitude of Protestant refugees, it was getting filled with ingenious industries, and rising to be what it still is, the busiest quarter of Germany. A country lowing with kine ; the hum of the flax-spindle heard in its cottages in those old days — ' much of the linen called Hollands is made...
Seite 168 - Trunk, with the convex glass fitted to the said hole, and the concave taken out at the other end, which extendeth to about the middle of this erected Tent : through which the visible radiations of all the Objects without are intromitted, falling upon a Paper, which is accommodated to receive them ; and so he traceth them with his pen in their natural appearance ; turning his little Tent round by degrees, till he hath designed the whole Aspect of the Field.

(rather prickly for most part), up to definite word of command, up to desolating word of rebuke and reprobation ; a voice 'the clearest and most agreeable in conversation I ever heard,' says witty Dr. Moore. 'He speaks a great deal/ continues the Doctor ; 'yet those who hear him, regret that he does not speak a good deal more.
Seite 8 - To me the Eighteenth Century has nothing grand in it, except that grand universal Suicide, named French Revolution, by which it terminated its otherwise most worthless existence with at least one worthy act — setting fire to its old home and self, and going up in flames and volcanic explosions in a truly memorable and important manner. A very fit termination, as 1 thankfully feel, for such a Century.
Seite v - ABOUT fourscore years ago, there used to be seen sauntering on the terraces of Sans Souci, for a short time in the afternoon, or you might have met him elsewhere at an earlier hour, riding or driving in a rapid business manner on the open roads or through the scraggy woods and avenues of that intricate amphibious Potsdam region, a highly interesting lean little old man, of alert though slightly stooping figure...
Seite 133 - Once risen into this divine white-heat of temper, were it only for a season and not again, the Nation is thenceforth considerable through all its remaining history. What immensities of DROSS and crypto-poisonous matter will it not burn out of itself in that high temperature, in the course of a few years! Witness Cromwell and his Puritans, — making England habitable even under the CharlesSecond terms for a couple of centuries more.
Seite 209 - Nothing could exceed his Majesty's simplicity of habitudes ; but one loves especially in him his scrupulous attention to cleanliness of person and of environment. He washed like a very Mussulman five times a day ; loved cleanliness in all things to a superstitious extent, which trait is pleasant in the rugged man, and indeed of a piece with the rest of his character.
Seite 183 - ... her circle,' for the rest of his life. He used to complain of his Polish chivalry, that there was no solidity in them; nothing but outside glitter, with tumult and anarchic noise ; fatal want of one essential talent, the talent of Obeying ; and has been heard to prophesy that a glorious Republic, persisting in such courses, would arrive at results which would surprise it. Onward from this time, Friedrich Wilhelm figures in the world ; public men watching his procedure ; Kings anxious to secure...
