ET1 5.20 14 I [Wordsworth] am told that things are

ET1 5.20 21 [Wordsworth] was against taking off the tax

England...
ET1 5.21 1 [Wordsworth] said he talked on political

physical strength of the people, as had just now been done in England
in the

ET4 5.60 15 The Normans came out of France into England
worse men
than they went into it one hundred and sixty years before.
ET4 5.61 10 England yielded to the Danes and Northmen
in the tenth and
eleventh centuries...
ET4 5.61 21 King Olaf said, When King Harold, my
father, went westward
to England, the chosen men in Norway followed him;...
ET4 5.62 6 It was a tardy recoil of these invasions [of
Northmen], when...in
1807, Lord Cathcart, at Copenhagen, took the entire Danish fleet...and
all
the equipments from the Arsenal, and carried them to England.
ET4 5.63 3 ...one may say of England that this watch
moves on a splinter of
adamant.

ET4 5.69 21 Lord Chief Justice Fortescue, in Henry

ET4 5.69 25 The extremes of poverty and ascetic
penance, it would seem, never reach cold water in England.
ET4 5.73 12 It is a proverb in England that it is safer
to shoot a man than a
hare.
ET5 5.74 8 ...the Norman has come popularly to
represent in England the
aristocratic, and the Saxon the democratic principle.
ET5 5.77 13 Even the pleasure-hunters and sots of
England are of a tougher
texture.
ET5 5.77 19 All the admirable expedients or means hit
upon in England
must be looked at as growths or irresistible offshoots of the expanding
mind
of the race.
ET5 5.82 15 Philip de Commines says, Now, in my
opinion, among all the
sovereignties I know in the world, that in which the public good is
best
attended to...is that of England.
ET5 5.82 19 Montesquieu said, England is the freest
country in the world.
ET5 5.82 20 Montesquieu said, England is the freest
country in the world. If a man in England had as many enemies as hairs
on his head, no harm
would happen to him.
ET5 5.83 1 Montesquieu said, No people have true
common-sense but
those who are born in England.
ET5 5.85 16 The spirit of system, attention to details,
and the subordination
of details...constitute that dispatch of business which makes the
mercantile
power of England.
ET5 5.87 12 ...[the English] fundamentally believe that
the best strategem
in naval war is to lay your ship close alongside of the enemy's ship
and
bring all your guns to bear on him, until you or he go to the bottom.
This is
the old fashion, which never goes out of fashion, neither in nor out of
England.
ET5 5.90 14 They are excellent judges in England of a
good worker...
ET5 5.93 11 It is England whose opinion is waited for
on the merit of a
new invention, an improved science.
ET5 5.94 6 ...England subsists by antagonisms and
contradictions.
ET5 5.94 15 ...there is more gold in England than in
all other countries.
ET5 5.94 19 The French Comte de Lauraguais said, No
fruit ripens in
England but a baked apple;...
ET5 5.95 22 In due course, all England will be
drained...
ET5 5.98 14 Man in England submits to be a product of
political economy.
ET5 5.98 27 It is the maxim of [English] economists,
that the greater part
in value of the wealth now existing in England has been produced by
human hands within the last twelve months.
ET5 5.100 8 ...in England, the language of the noble is
the language of the
poor.
ET5 5.101 9 The chancellor carries England on his
mace...
ET5 5.101 12 ...the [English] postilion cracks his whip
for England...
ET6 5.102 16 ...the Times newspaper they say is the
pluckiest thing in
England...
ET6 5.103 27 It requires, men say, a good constitution
to travel in Spain. I
say as much of England...
ET6 5.106 16 I happened to arrive in England at the
moment of a
commercial crisis.
ET6 5.106 18 ...let who will fail, England will not.
ET6 5.108 10 England produces...the finest women in the
world.
ET6 5.111 14 A sea-shell should be the crest of
England...
ET6 5.112 16 When Thalberg the pianist was one evening
performing
before the Queen at Windsor, in a private party, the Queen accompanied
him with her voice. The circumstance took air, and all England
shuddered
from sea to sea.
ET6 5.112 22 Sir Philip Sidney is one of the patron
saints of England...
ET6 5.113 9 In an aristocratical country like England,
not the Trial by Jury, but the dinner, is the capital institution.
ET7 5.124 20 ...when the Rochester rappings began to be
heard of in
England, a man deposited 100 pounds in a sealed box in the Dublin Bank,
and then advertised in the newspapers to all somnambulists, mesmerizers
and others, that whoever could tell him the number of his note should
have
the money.
ET8 5.130 1 In every [English] inn is the
Commercial-Room, in which
travellers, or bagmen who carry patterns and solicit orders for the
manufacturers, are wont to be entertained. It easily happens that this
class
should characterize England to the foreigner...
ET8 5.137 19 England is the lawgiver, the patron, the
instructor, the ally.
ET8 5.141 4 The stability of England is the security of
the modern world.
ET8 5.142 1 Nelson wrote from [English] hearts his
homely telegraph, England expects every man to do his duty.
ET9 5.145 2 Swedenborg, who lived much in England,
notes the similitude
of minds among the English...
ET9 5.145 15 A much older traveller...says... [The
English] think that there
are no other men than themselves, and no other world but England;...
ET9 5.146 9 I have found that Englishmen have such a
good opinion of
England, that the ordinary phrases in all good society, of postponing
or
disparaging one's own things in talking with a stranger, are seriously
mistaken by them for an insuppressible homage to the merits of their
nation;...
ET9 5.146 18 I have found that Englishmen have such a
good opinion of
England that...the New Yorker or Pennsylvanian who modestly laments the
disadvantage of a new country, log-huts and savages, is surprised by
the
instant and unfeigned commiseration of the whole company, who plainly
account all the world out of England a heap of rubbish.
ET9 5.147 4 Lord Chatham goes for liberty and no
taxation without
representation;--for that is British law; but not a hobnail shall they
dare
make in America, but buy their nails in England;--for that also is
British
law;...
ET9 5.150 27 The English dislike the American structure
of society, whilst
yet trade, mills, public education and Chartism are doing what they can
to
create in England the same social condition.
ET9 5.152 12 ...this precious knave [George of
Cappadocia] became, in
good time, Saint George of England...
ET10 5.154 1 Sydney Smith said, Poverty is infamous in
England.
ET10 5.154 18 A natural fruit of England is the brutal
political economy.
ET10 5.155 8 The respect for truth of facts in England
is equalled only by
the respect for wealth.
ET10 5.157 11 Everything in England is at a quick pace.
ET10 5.159 23 England already had this laborious race,
rich soil, water, wood, coal, iron...
ET10 5.159 26 Eight hundred years ago...it was
recorded, England is the
richest of all the northern nations.
ET10 5.160 2 The Norman historians recite that in 1067,
William carried
with him into Normandy, from England, more gold and silver than had
ever
before been seen in Gaul.
ET10 5.160 22 ...there is wealth enough in England to
support the entire
population in idleness for one year.
ET10 5.161 10 ...another machine more potent in England
than steam is the
Bank.
ET10 5.162 19 Scandinavian Thor...in England has
advanced with the
times...
ET10 5.162 24 The creation of wealth in England in the
last ninety years is
a main fact in modern history.
ET10 5.164 19 Whatever surly sweetness possession can
give, is tasted in
England to the dregs.
ET10 5.166 8 Such as we have seen is the wealth of
England; a mighty
mass...
ET10 5.167 24 England is aghast at the disclosure of
her fraud in the
adulteration of food, of drugs...
ET10 5.168 3 In true England all is false and forged.
ET10 5.169 15 Such a wealth has England earned, ever
new, bounteous and
augmenting.
ET10 5.169 22 We estimate the wisdom of nations by
seeing what they did
with their surplus capital. And, in view of these injuries, some
compensation has been attempted in England.
ET10 5.170 7 At present [England] does not rule her
wealth. She is simply
a good England...
ET10 5.170 13 England must be held responsible for the
despotism of
expense.
ET10 5.171 5 ...the means of meeting a certain
ponderous expense, is that
which is considered by a youth in England emerging from his minority.
ET11 5.172 6 Palaces, halls, villas, walled parks, all
over England, rival the
splendor of royal seats.
ET11 5.173 1 In spite of...the devastation of society
by the profligacy of the
court, we take sides as we read for the loyal England...
ET11 5.173 4 ...we take sides as we read for the loyal
England, and King
Charles's return to his right with his Cavaliers,--knowing what a
heartless
trifler he is, and what a crew of Godforsaken robbers they are. The
people
of England knew as much.
ET11 5.175 23 In France and in England, the nobles
were, down to a late
day, born and bred to war...
ET11 5.180 16 A susceptible man could not wear a name
which
represented in a strict sense a city or a county of England, without
hearing
in it a challenge to duty and honor.
ET11 5.180 22 Mirabeau wrote prophetically from
England, in 1784, If
revolution break out in France, I tremble for the aristocracy...
ET11 5.182 27 ...before the Reform of 1832, one hundred
and fifty-four
persons sent three hundred and seven members to Parliament. The
borough-mongers
governed England.
ET11 5.183 3 In 1786 the soil of England was owned by
250,000
corporations and proprietors;...
ET11 5.183 6 All over England...are the paradises of
the nobles...
ET11 5.183 24 ...with such interests at stake, how can
these men [English
peers] afford to neglect them? O, replied my friend, why should they
work
for themselves when every man in England works for them...
ET11 5.186 19 ...it is wonderful how much talent runs
into manners:-- nowhere and never so much as in England.
ET11 5.188 4 ...[the English nobility] are they who
make England that
strongbox and museum it is;...
ET11 5.189 18 The grand old halls scattered up and down
in England, are
dumb vouchers to the state and broad hospitality of their ancient
lords.
ET12 5.200 20 Oxford is old, even in England...
ET12 5.201 2 ...[Oxford] is, in British story...the
link of England to the
learned of Europe.
ET12 5.201 7 Albert Alaskie...who visited England to
admire the wisdom
of Queen Elizabeth, was entertained with stage-plays in the Refectory
of
Christ-Church [College, Oxford] in 1583.
ET12 5.208 17 ...at the universities, it is urged that
all goes to form what
England values as the flower of its national life,--a well-educated
gentleman.
ET12 5.209 5 The race of English gentlemen presents an
appearance of
manly vigor and form not elsewhere to be found among an equal number of
persons. No other nation produces the stock. And in England, it has
deteriorated.
ET12 5.213 8 England is the land of mixture and
surprise...
ET12 5.213 16 ...the best poetry of England of this
age, in the old forms, comes from two graduates at Cambridge.
ET13 5.215 15 England felt the full heat of the
Christianity which
fermented Europe...
ET13 5.218 23 Here in England every day a chapter of
Genesis, and a
leader in the Times.
ET13 5.220 23 The religion of England is part of
good-breeding.
ET13 5.224 6 The doctrine of the Old Testament is the
religion of England.
ET13 5.228 7 England accepts this ornamented national
church, and it
glazes the eyes, bloats the flesh, gives the voice a stertorous
clang...
ET13 5.230 15 But the religion of England,--is it the
Established Church? no;...
ET13 5.231 7 ...if religion be the doing of all good,
and for its sake the
suffering of all evil...that divine secret has existed in England from
the days
of Alfred...
ET14 5.235 23 For two centuries England was
philosophic, religious, poetic.
ET14 5.238 27 ...[Bacon]...marks the influx of idealism
into England.
ET14 5.241 19 A few generalizations always circulate in
the world...and
these are in the world constants, like the Copernican and Newtonian
theories in physics. In England these may be traced usually to
Shakspeare, Bacon, Milton, or Hooker...
ET14 5.244 6 The absence of the faculty [of
generalization] in England is
shown by the timidity which accumulates mountains of facts...
ET14 5.247 24 It was a curious result, in which the
civility and religion of
England for a thousand years ends in denying morals and reducing the
intellect to a sauce-pan.
ET14 5.248 26 Coleridge...is one of those who save
England from the
reproach of no longer possessing the capacity to appreciate what rarest
wit
the island has yielded.
ET14 5.249 15 But for Coleridge...one would say that in
Germany and in
America is the best mind in England rightly respected.
ET14 5.253 18 ...in England, one hermit finds this
fact, and another finds
that, and lives and dies ignorant of its value.
ET14 5.254 1 ...for the most part the natural science
in England is out of its
loyal alliance with morals...
ET14 5.259 26 I can well believe what I have often
heard, that there are
two nations in England;...
ET15 5.261 3 In England, [the power of the newspaper]
stands in
antagonism with the feudal institutions...
ET15 5.261 16 A relentless inquisition [the newspaper]
drags every secret
to the day...and no weakness can be taken advantage of by an enemy,
since
the whole people are already forewarned. Thus England rids herself of
those incrustations which have been the ruin of old states.
ET15 5.262 10 The tendency in England towards social
and political
institutions like those of America, is inevitable...
ET15 5.262 13 England is full of manly, clever,
well-bred men who
possess the talent of writing off-hand pungent paragraphs...
ET15 5.263 8 The most conspicuous result of this talent
[for writing for
journals] is the Times newspaper. No power in England is more felt,
more
feared, or more obeyed.
ET15 5.264 8 [The London Times] denounced and
discredited the French
Republic of 1848, and checked every sympathy with it in England...
ET15 5.269 15 There is an air of freedom even in [the
London Times's] advertising columns, which speaks well for England to a
foreigner.
ET15 5.269 21 ...I read, among the daily announcements
[in the London
Times], one offering a reward of fifty pounds to any person who would
put
a nobleman, described by name and title...into any county jail in
England...
ET15 5.271 14 [Punch's] sketches are...the delight of
every class, because
uniformly guided by that taste which is tyrannical in England.
ET15 5.271 16 It is a new trait of the nineteenth
century, that the wit and
humor of England...have taken the direction of humanity and freedom.
ET15 5.272 26 ...[if the London Times would cleave to
the right] the least
of its victories would be to give to England a new millennium of
beneficent
power.
ET16 5.273 2 It had been agreed between my friend Mr.
Carlyle and me, that before I left England we should make an excursion
together to
Stonehenge...
ET16 5.273 13 I was glad...to exchange a few reasonable
words on the
aspects of England with a man on whose genius I set a very high value
[Carlyle]...
ET16 5.275 25 I told Carlyle that...I like the
[English] people;...but
meantime, I surely know that as soon as I return to Massachusetts I
shall
lapse at once into the feeling...that England, an old and exhausted
island, must one day be contented, like other parents, to be strong
only in her
children.
ET16 5.279 22 The old times of England impress Carlyle
much...
ET16 5.280 6 [Carlyle] fancied that greater men had
lived in England than
any of her writers;...
ET16 5.280 16 The grass grows rank and dark in the
showery England.
ET16 5.285 1 ...though there were some good pictures
[at Wilton Hall]...yet
the eye was still drawn to the windows, to a magnificent lawn, on which
grew the finest cedars in England.
ET16 5.285 17 The [Salisbury] Cathedral, which was
finished six hundred
years ago, has even a spruce and modern air, and its spire is the
highest in
England.
ET16 5.285 23 Salisbury [Cathedral] is now esteemed the
culmination of
the Gothic art in England...
ET16 5.288 26 There, in that great sloven continent
[America]...still sleeps
and murmurs and hides the great mother, long since driven away from the
trim hedge-rows and over-cultivated garden of England. And, in England,
I
am quite too sensible of this.
ET17 5.291 3 In these comments on an old journey
[English Traits], now

Kellermann that he may rely on the parole of an English officer.
ET7 5.119 18 Plain rich clothes, plain rich equipage,
plain rich finish
throughout their house and belongings mark the English truth.
ET7 5.122 7 See [the Irish], [the English] said, one
hundred and twenty-seven
all voting like sheep...all but four voting the income tax,--which was
an ill-judged concession of the government, relieving Irish property
from
the burdens charged on English.
ET7 5.123 12 [The English] have given the parliamentary
nickname of
Trimmers to the timeservers, whom English character does not love.
ET7 5.124 1 A slow temperament...has given occasion to
the observation
that English wit comes afterwards...
ET7 5.125 9 Any number of delightful examples of this
English stolidity
are the anecdotes of Europe.
ET7 5.125 18 This English stolidity contrasts with
French wit and tact.
ET7 5.126 8 Defoe, who knew his countrymen well, says
of them,--In close
intrigue, their faculty's but weak,/ For generally whate'er they know,
they
speak,/ And often their own counsels undermine/ By mere infirmity
without
design;/ From whence, the learned say, it doth proceed,/ That English
treasons never can succeed;/...
ET8 5.127 1 The English race are reputed morose.
ET8 5.128 13 Was it...a stroke of humor in the serious
Swedenborg...that
made him shut up the English souls in a heaven by themselves?
ET8 5.130 5 ...these [lower] classes are the right
English stock...
ET8 5.132 22 ...[young Englishmen]...measure with an
English footrule
every cell of the Inquisition...
ET8 5.133 10 There are multitudes of rude young
English...who...have
made the English traveller a proverb for uncomfortable and offensive
manners.
ET8 5.135 19 Here [in England] was lately a
cross-grained miser [Joseph
Turner]...yet as true a worshipper of beauty in form and color as ever
existed...removing the reproach of sterility from English art...
ET8 5.136 13 There is an English hero superior to the
French, the German, the Italian, or the Greek.
ET8 5.137 21 Compare the tone of the French and of the
English press...
ET8 5.137 22 Compare the tone of the French and of the
English press: the
first querulous, captious, sensitive about English opinion;...
ET8 5.137 23 ...the English press [is] never timorous
about French
opinion...
ET8 5.138 13 ...nothing mean resides in the English
heart.
ET8 5.139 2 To understand the power of performance that
is in their finest
wits...one should see how English day-laborers hold out.
ET8 5.140 17 The slow, deep English mass smoulders with
fire...
ET8 5.140 27 ...if hereafter the war of races...should
menace the English
civilization, these sea-kings may take once again to their floating
castles...
ET8 5.141 5 If the English race were as mutable as the
French, what
reliance?
ET8 5.141 23 In Alfred, in the Northmen, one may read
the genius of the
English society...
ET8 5.141 26 Glory, a career, and ambition, the words
familiar to the
longitude of Paris, are seldom heard in English speech.
ET9 5.145 22 When [the Englishman] adds epithets of
praise, his climax is, so English;...
ET9 5.145 26 France is, by its natural contrast, a kind
of blackboard on
which English character draws its own traits in chalk.
ET9 5.146 2 I suppose that all men of English blood in
America, Europe or
Asia, have a secret feeling of joy that they are not French natives.
ET9 5.147 8 ...I am afraid that English nature is so
rank and aggressive as
to be a little incompatible with every other.
ET9 5.148 5 ...this little superfluity of self-regard
in the English brain is
one of the secrets of their power and history.
ET9 5.149 7 ...the natural disposition is fostered by
the respect which [the
English] find entertained in the world for English ability.
ET9 5.149 11 ...the prestige of the English name
warrants a certain
confident bearing...
ET9 5.149 15 ...[the English] feel themselves at
liberty to assume the most
extraordinary tone on the subject of English merits.
ET9 5.149 16 An English lady on the Rhine hearing a
German speaking of
her party as foreigners, exclaimed, No, we are not foreigners; we are
English; it is you that are foreigners.
ET9 5.151 7 The English sway of their colonies has no
root of kindness.
ET9 5.151 18 There is no fence in metaphysics
discriminating Greek, or
English, or Spanish science.
ET10 5.153 7 A coarse logic rules throughout all
English souls;...
ET10 5.154 15 ...I found the two disgraces in [Wood's
Athenae
Oxonienses], as in most English books, are, first, disloyalty to Church
and
State, and, second, to be born poor, or come to poverty.
ET10 5.163 2 Some English private fortunes reach, and
some exceed a
million of dollars a year.
ET10 5.163 13 Whatever is excellent and beautiful...in
fountain, garden, or
grounds,--the English noble crosses sea and land to see and to copy at
home.
ET10 5.165 24 ...[the Englishman's] English name and
accidents are like a
flourish of trumpets announcing him.
ET10 5.166 2 I much prefer the condition of an English
gentleman of the
better class to that of any potentate in Europe...
ET10 5.170 21 Who can propose to youth poverty and
wisdom...when
English success has grown out of the very renunciation of principles...
ET11 5.172 1 The feudal character of the English
state...glares a little, in
contrast with the democratic tendencies.
ET11 5.172 14 Primogeniture is a cardinal rule of
English property and
institutions.
ET11 5.174 8 English history is aristocracy with the
doors open.
ET11 5.178 3 ...some curious examples are cited to show
the stability of
English families.
ET11 5.179 27 The English lords do not call their lands
after their own
names...
ET11 5.180 21 The predilection of the patricians for
residence in the
country...makes the safety of the English hall.
ET11 5.185 18 The English nobles are high-spirited,
active, educated men...
ET11 5.187 10 [English nobility] is a romance adorning
English life with a
larger horizon;...
ET11 5.189 11 Against the cry of the old tenantry and
the sympathetic cry
of the English press, the [English nobility] have rooted out and
planted
anew...
ET11 5.189 15 The English barons, in every period, have
been brave and
great...
ET11 5.191 27 ...the English Channel was swept and
London threatened by
the Dutch fleet, manned too by English sailors...
ET11 5.195 8 Already...the English noble and squire
were preparing for the
career of the country-gentleman and his peaceable expense.
ET11 5.196 15 ...advantages once confined to men of
family are now open
to the whole middle class. The road that grandeur levels for his coach,
toil
can travel in his cart. This is more manifest every day, but I think it
is true
throughout English history.
ET11 5.196 15 English history, wisely read, is the
vindication of the brain
of that people.
ET12 5.200 11 It is a curious proof of the English use
and wont...that these
young men [at Oxford] are locked up every night at nine o'clock...
ET12 5.201 19 ...Wood's Athenae Oxonienses...is a
lively record of
English manners and merits...
ET12 5.206 21 The effect of this drill [at Oxford] is
the radical knowledge
of...the solidity and taste of English criticism.
ET12 5.207 7 The English nature takes culture kindly.
ET12 5.207 15 The great silent crowd of thoroughbred
Grecians always
known to be around him, the English writer cannot ignore.
ET12 5.207 17 The great silent crowd of thoroughbred
Grecians always
known to be around him, the English writer cannot ignore. They prune
his
orations and point his pen. Hence the style and tone of English
journalism.
ET12 5.208 20 The German Huber, in describing to his
countrymen the
attributes of an English gentleman, frankly admits that in Germany, we
have nothing of the kind.
ET12 5.209 2 The race of English gentlemen presents an
appearance of
manly vigor and form not elsewhere to be found among an equal number of
persons.
ET12 5.210 9 ...education, according to the English
notion of it, is arrived
at [at Oxford].
ET12 5.211 16 English wealth falling on their school
and university
training, makes a systematic reading of the best authors...
ET12 5.211 24 Charles I. said that he understood
English law as well as a
gentleman ought to understand it.
ET13 5.214 6 ...English life...does not grow out of the
Athanasian creed...
ET13 5.215 27 The power of the religious sentiment [in
England]...inspired
the English Bible...
ET13 5.216 4 [The priest...translated the sanctities of
old hagiology into
English virtues on English ground.
ET13 5.216 5 [The priest...translated the sanctities of
old hagiology into
English virtues on English ground.
ET13 5.218 16 It was strange to hear the pretty
pastoral of the betrothal of
Rebecca and Isaac, in the morning of the world, read with
circumstantiality
in York minster, on the 13th January, 1848, to the decorous English
audience...
ET13 5.219 19 ...whilst [the Church] endears itself
thus to men of more
taste than activity, the stability of the English nation is
passionately enlisted
to its support...
ET13 5.221 19 The torpidity on the side of religion of
the vigorous English
understanding shows how much wit and folly can agree in one brain.
ET13 5.222 26 The action of the university...is
directed more on producing
an English gentleman, than a saint or a psychologist.
ET13 5.224 15 [The English] put up no Socratic prayer,
much less any
saintly prayer for the Queen's mind;...but say bluntly, Grant her in
health
and wealth long to live. And one traces this Jewish prayer in all
English
private history...
ET14 5.232 2 A strong common sense...marks the English
mind for a
thousand years;...
ET14 5.232 21 The English muse loves the farmyard, the
lane and market.
ET14 5.234 15 This mental materialism makes the value
of English
transcendental genius;...
ET14 5.235 7 Mixture is a secret of the English
island;...
ET14 5.235 12 A good [English] writer, if he has
indulged in a Roman
roundness, makes haste to chasten and nerve his period by English
monosyllables.
ET14 5.235 21 To the images from this twin source (of
Christianity and
art), the mind became fruitful as by the incubation of the Holy Ghost.
The
English mind flowered in every faculty.
ET14 5.238 20 Lord Bacon has the English duality.
ET14 5.243 12 ...history reckons epochs in which the
intellect of famed
races became effete. So it fared with English genius.
ET14 5.243 18 Locke, to whom the meaning of ideas was
unknown, became the type of philosophy [in England], and his
understanding the
measure, in all nations, of the English intellect.
ET14 5.244 5 The Germans generalize: the English cannot
interpret the
German mind. German science comprehends the English.
ET14 5.244 19 Milton, who was the stair or high
table-land to let down the
English genius from the summits of Shakspeare, used this privilege [of
generalization] sometimes in poetry, more rarely in prose.
ET14 5.246 7 ...in Hallam, or in the firmer
intellectual nerve of
Mackintosh, one still finds the same type of English genius.
ET14 5.246 19 [Dickens] is a painter of English
details, like Hogarth;...
ET14 5.247 5 The brilliant Macaulay, who expresses the
tone of the
English governing classes of the day, explicitly teaches that good
means
good to eat, good to wear...
ET14 5.247 27 The critic [in England] hides his
skepticism under the
English cant of practical.
ET14 5.248 11 It is because [Bacon]...basked in an
element of
contemplation out of all modern English atmospheric gauges, that he is
impressive...
ET14 5.251 2 It would be easy to add exceptions to the
limitary tone of
English thought...
ET14 5.251 8 ...the artificial succor which marks all
English performance
appears in letters also...
ET14 5.253 2 ...a devotion to the theory of politics
like that of Hooker and
Milton and Harrington, the modern English mind repudiates.
ET14 5.253 11 ...English science puts humanity to the
door.
ET14 5.253 27 ...in England, one hermit finds this
fact, and another finds
that, and lives and dies ignorant of its value. There are great
exceptions... adding sometimes the divination of the old masters to the
unbroken power
of labor in the English mind.
ET14 5.254 23 ...having attempted to domesticate and
dress the Blessed
Soul itself in English broadcloth and gaiters, [the English] are
tormented
with fear that herein lurks a force that will sweep their system away.
ET14 5.255 11 No [English] priest dares hint at a
Providence which does
not respect English utility.
ET14 5.256 17 Where is great design in modern English
poetry?
ET14 5.257 21 ...he who aspires to be the English poet
must be as large as
London...
ET14 5.258 21 For a self-conceited modish life...there
is no remedy like the
Oriental largeness. That astonishes and disconcerts English decorum.
ET14 5.259 17 ...I know that a retrieving power lies in
the English race
which seems to make any recoil possible;...
ET15 5.262 18 England is full of manly, clever,
well-bred men who
possess the talent of writing off-hand pungent paragraphs, expressing
with
clearness and courage their opinion on any person or performance.
Valuable or not, it is a skill that is rarely found, out of the English
journals.
ET15 5.267 13 [The London Times's] consummate
discretion and success
exhibit the English skill of combination.
ET15 5.270 11 [The London Times's] editors know better
than to defend... English vested rights, on abstract grounds.
ET15 5.271 5 Punch is equally an expression of English
good sense, as the
London Times.
ET15 5.272 4 It is usually pretended...that the English
press has a high
tone...
ET16 5.279 26 ...[Carlyle] reads little, he says, in
these last years, but Acta
Sanctorum; the fifty-three volumes of which are in the London Library.
He
finds all English history therein.
ET16 5.280 19 At the inn [at Amesbury], there was only
milk for one cup
of tea. When we called for more, the girl brought us three drops. My
friend [Carlyle] was annoyed, who stood for the credit of an English
inn...
ET16 5.283 25 ...we [Emerson and Carlyle] set forth in
our dog-cart over
the downs for Wilton, Carlyle not suppressing some threats and evil
omens
on the proprietors, for keeping these broad plains a wretched
sheep-walk
when so many thousands of English men were hungry and wanted labor.
ET16 5.284 14 [Wilton Hall]...is esteemed a noble
specimen of the English
manor-hall.
ET16 5.287 6 My friends asked, whether there were any
Americans?...any
theory of the right future of that country? Thus challenged... ...I
said, Certainly yes;--but those who hold it are fanatics of a dream
which I should
hardly care to relate to your English ears, to which it might be only
ridiculous...
ET16 5.287 23 ...I insisted that the manifest absurdity
of the view to
English feasibility could make no difference to a gentleman;...
ET16 5.289 21 The length of line [of Winchester
Cathedral] exceeds that of
any other English church;...
ET17 5.292 8 An equal good fortune attended many later
accidents of my
journey [in England], until the sincerity of English kindness ceased to
surprise.
ET17 5.294 26 [Wordsworth] detailed the two models, on
one or the other
of which all the sentences of the historian Robertson are framed. Nor
could
Jeffrey, nor the Edinburgh Reviewers write English, nor can-----who is
a
pest to the English tongue.
ET17 5.295 15 We [Emerson and Wordsworth] talked of
English national
character.
ET17 5.296 21 [Harriet Martineau] said that in
[Wordsworth's] early house-keeping
at the cottage where he first lived, he was accustomed to offer his
friends bread and plainest fare; if they wanted anything more, they
must
pay him for their board. It was the rule of the house. I replied that
it evinced
English pluck more than any anecdote I knew.
ET17 5.298 1 ...[Wordsworth] had conformities to
English politics and
traditions;...
ET18 5.299 21 The history of Rome and Greece, when
written by [English] scholars, degenerates into English party
pamphlets.
ET18 5.300 1 English principles means a primary regard
to the interests of
property.
ET18 5.302 11 ...this perfunctory hospitality puts...no
check on that
puissant nationality which makes their existence incompatible with all
that
is not English.
ET18 5.302 18 ...the wealth of the source is seen in
the plenitude of English
nature.
ET18 5.303 11 I have noted the reserve of power in the
English
temperament.
ET18 5.304 18 The English mind turns every abstraction
it can receive into
a portable utensil...
ET18 5.304 22 ...we say that only the English race can
be trusted with
freedom...
ET18 5.306 3 You cannot account for [Englishmen's]
success by their
Christianity, commerce, charter, common law, Parliament, or letters,
but by
the contumacious sharp-tongued energy of English naturel...
ET18 5.307 17 ...the American people do not
yield...more inventions or
books or benefits than the English.
Pow 6.62 15 As long as our people quote English
standards they dwarf their
own proportions.
Pow 6.62 18 A Western lawyer of eminence said to me he
wished it were a
penal offence to bring an English law-book into a court in this
country...
Pow 6.62 20 A Western lawyer of eminence said to me he
wished it were a
penal offence to bring an English law-book into a court in this
country, so
pernicious had he found in his experience our deference to English
precedent.
Pow 6.62 21 The very word 'commerce' has only an
English meaning...
Pow 6.62 23 The very word 'commerce'...is pinched to
the cramp
exigencies of English experience.

standards they will miss
the sovereignty of power;...

WD 7.171 26 It is singular that our rich English

WD 7.182 13 The masters of English lyric wrote their
songs [for joy].
Boks 7.197 17 English history is best known through
Shakspeare;...
Boks 7.204 13 I like to be beholden to the great
metropolitan English
speech...
Boks 7.204 23 If [the student] can read Livy, he has a
good book; but one

used, that will place in the cycle [of Roman history] the bright stars
of
Plutarch.
Boks 7.207 1 ...in the Elizabethan era [the scholar] is

HDC 11.49 27 The British government has recently
presented to the several
public libraries of this country, copies of the splendid edition of the
Domesday Book, and other ancient public records of England. I cannot

presented...to the English nation...
HDC 11.51 14 In 1644, Squaw Sachem, the widow of

HDC 11.55 18 The [Concord] river, at this period, seems

extremity.

ET17 5.294 21 No Scotchman, [Wordsworth] said, can

ET17 5.294 25 [Wordsworth] detailed the two models, on

Jeffrey, nor the Edinburgh Reviewers write English...
ET17 5.294 27 Incidentally [Wordsworth] added, Gibbon
cannot write
English.
ET17 5.295 27 [Wordsworth's] opinions of French,
English, Irish and
Scotch, seemed rashly formulized from little anecdotes of what had
befallen

ET17 5.296 7 ...perhaps it is a high compliment to the
cultivation of the

ET18 5.304 25 The English designate the kingdoms
