With all this injustice he is never in good case; but, like those among men who live by sharping and robbing, he is generally poor, and often very lousy.

Besides, he is a rank coward ; the little King-bird, not bigger than a Sparrow, attacks him boldly, and drives him out of the district. He is, therefore, by no means a proper emblem for the brave and honest Cincinnati of America, who have driven...
Seite 289 - Neither the perseverance of Holland, nor the activity of France, nor the dexterous and firm sagacity of English enterprise ever carried this most perilous mode of hardy industry to the extent to which it has been pushed by this recent people; a people who are still, as it were, but in the gristle, and not yet hardened into the bone of manhood.
Seite 102 - The being and existence of the thing itself is what I call the original truth.
