WD 7.167 8 The new study of the Sanskrit has shown us
the origin of the

WD 7.183 25 ...the least acceleration of thought and

MMEm 10.422 3 [Time] is a goodly name for our notions
of breathing, suffering, enjoying, acting.
MMEm 10.422 6 We call [Time] by every name of fleeting,
dreaming, vaporing imagery.
MMEm 10.424 1 O Time! thou loiterer. Thou...restest on

throne... When will thy routines give way to higher and lasting
institutions? When thy trophies and thy name and all its wizard forms

GSt 10.507 18 Almost I am ready to say to these

exceptional honor.
HDC 11.30 20 Here are still around me the lineal

HDC 11.30 21 Here are still around me the lineal
descendants of the first
settlers of this town [Concord]. Here is Blood...Miles,-the names of
the
inhabitants for the first thirty years; and the family is in many cases
represented, when the name is not. If the name of Bulkeley is wanting,
the
honor you have done me this day, in making me your organ, testifies
your
persevering kindness to his blood.
HDC 11.83 27 For the most part, the town [Concord] has
deserved the
name it wears.
HDC 11.86 26 The acknowledgment of the Supreme Being
exalts the
history of this people [of Concord]. It brought the fathers hither. In
a war of
principle, it delivered their sons. And so long as a spark of this
faith
survives among the children's children so long shall the name of
Concord
be honest and venerable.
LVB 11.89 16 ...the circumstance that my name will be

construction of what I have to say.
LVB 11.91 26 ...the American President and the Cabinet,
the Senate and
the House of Representatives...are contracting...to drag [the
Cherokees]...to
a wilderness at a vast distance beyond the Mississippi. And a paper
purporting to be an army order fixes a month from this day as the hour
for
this doleful removal. In the name of God, sir [Van Buren], we ask you
if
this be so?
LVB 11.93 15 You [Van Buren], sir, will bring down that
renowned chair
in which you sit into infamy if your seal is set to this intrument of
perfidy [the relocation of the Cherokees]; and the name of this
nation...will stink to
the world.
War 11.152 14 The student of history acquiesces the
more readily in this
copious bloodshed of the early annals, bloodshed in God's name, too,
when
he learns that it is a temporary and preparatory state...
War 11.173 3 We are affected...by the appearance of a
few rich and wilful
gentlemen who take their honor into their own keeping...and whose
appearance is the arrival of so much life and virtue. In dangerous
times they
are presently tried, and therefore their name is a flourish of
trumpets.
FSLC 11.181 3 The only haste in Boston, after the
rescue of Shadrach, last
February, was, who should first put his name on the list of volunteers

FSLC 11.198 4 You have a law [The Fugitive Slave Law]
which no man

FSLC 11.201 24 [Webster] must learn...that those to

FSLC 11.208 11 Why in the name of common sense and the
peace of
mankind is not [abolition] made the subject of instant negotiation and
settlement?
FSLC 11.213 18 Let us not lie, not steal, nor help to
steal, and let us not
call stealing by any fine name, as Union or Patriotism.
FSLN 11.219 11 ...under the shadow of [Webster's] great
name inferior
men sheltered themselves, threw their ballots for [the Fugitive Slave
Law] and made the law.
FSLN 11.243 20 [Robert Winthrop] denounced every name
and aspect
under which liberty and progress dare show themselves in this age and
country...
JBS 11.281 23 ...the arch-abolitionist, older than
[John] Brown, and older

TPar 11.292 22 The sudden and singular eminence of Mr.

importance of his name and influence, are the verdict of his country to
his
virtues.
ACiv 11.307 24 Emancipation at one stroke elevates the
poor-white of the
South, and identifies his interest with that of the Northern laborer.
Now, in

right
be done?
EPro 11.314 12 O North! give [the slave] beauty for
rags,/ And honor, O

image and name./
ALin 11.329 14 ...I doubt if any death has caused so
much pain to mankind
as this [of Lincoln] has caused, or will cause, on its announcement;
and
this...because of the mysterious hopes and fears which, in the present
day, are connected with the name and institutions of America.
ALin 11.330 26 ...when the new and comparatively
unknown name of
Lincoln was announced [for President]...we heard the result coldly and
sadly.
SMC 11.369 8 [George Prescott writes] Our colors had
several holes made, and were badly torn. One bullet hit the staff which
the bearer had in his

Davis.
EdAd 11.391 4 The name of Swedenborg has in this very
time acquired
new honors...
EdAd 11.393 10 The name [Massachusetts Quarterly
Review] might
convey the impression of a book of criticism...
Koss 11.396 5 God said, I am tired of kings,/ I suffer
them no more;/ Up to
my ear the morning brings/ The outrage of the poor./ My angel,-his name
is Freedom,-/ Choose him to be your king;/ He shall cut pathways east
and
west,/ And fend you with his wing./
Koss 11.400 17 ...it is not those who live idly in the
city called after his
name, but those who...think and act like him, who can claim to explain
the
sentiment of Washington.
SHC 11.433 18 Here [at Sleepy Hollow] we may establish

SHC 11.433 25 This spot for twenty years has borne the
name of Sleepy
Hollow.
SHC 11.436 9 I have heard that when we pronounce the
name of man, we
pronounce the belief of immortality.
RBur 11.441 5 ...I find [Burns's] grand plain sense in
close chain with the
greatest masters,-Rabelais, Shakspeare in comedy, Cervantes, Butler,

Burns. If I should add another name, I find it only in a living
countryman of
Burns [Carlyle].
RBur 11.443 8 Every name in broad Scotland keeps
[Burns's] fame bright.
CPL 11.497 11 The sedge Papyrus, which gave its name to

silver, or gold.
PLT 12.6 21 My belief in the use of a course of
philosophy is...that [the
student] shall see in [the mind] the source of all traditions, and
shall see
each one of them as better or worse statement of its revelations; shall
come
to trust it entirely, as the only true; to cleave to God against the
name of
God.
PLT 12.21 4 [A thought] comes single like a foreign
traveller,-but find

PLT 12.34 1 Instinct is our name for the potential wit.
Mem 12.108 2 ...what we wish to keep, we must once
thoroughly possess. Then the thing seen will no longer be what it
was...but...a possession of the
intellect. Then...we put the onus of being remembered on the object,
instead
of on our will. We shall do as we do with all our studies, prize the
fact or
the name of the person by that predominance it takes in our mind after
near
acquaintance.
Mem 12.108 5 I have several times forgotten the name of
Flamsteed, never
that of Newton;...
Mem 12.108 11 The universal sense of fables and
anecdotes is marked by
our tendency to forget name and date and geography.
Mem 12.108 14 How in the right are children, said
Margaret Fuller, to
forget name and date and place.
CInt 12.119 6 ...the book written against fame and

CInt 12.122 14 Instinct is the name for the potential

CInt 12.122 27 The Understanding is the name we give to

power working to short ends...
CInt 12.126 17 ...that which [Harvard College] exists
for, to be...a Delphos
uttering warning and ravishing oracles to lift and lead mankind,-that

generosity
of thought is suspect and gets a bad name.

blood and name and traditions.
Bost 12.211 17 Let every child that is born of her and
every child of her
adoption see to it to keep the name of Boston as clean as the sun;...
MAng1 12.215 13 Whilst [Michelangelo's] name belongs to
the highest
class of genius, his life contains in it no injurious influence.
MAng1 12.216 25 The ancient Greeks called the world
kosmos, Beauty; a
name which, in our artificial state of society, sounds fanciful and
impertinent.
MAng1 12.244 17 The traveller from a distant continent,
who gazes on that
marble brow [bust of Michelangelo], feels that he is not a stranger in
the
foreign church; for the great name of Michael Angelo sounds hospitably
in
his ear.
Milt1 12.247 3 The discovery of the lost work of
Milton, the treatise Of the
Christian Doctrine, in 1823, drew a sudden attention to his name.
Milt1 12.248 5 There is no name in English literature
between [Milton's] age and ours that rises into any approach to his
own.
Milt1 12.255 2 ...we think it impossible to recall one
in those countries [England, France, Germany] who communicates the same
vibration of
hope, of self-reverence, of piety, of delight in beauty, which the name
of
Milton awakens.
Milt1 12.272 2 [Milton] maintained the doctrine of
literary liberty... insisting that a book shall come into the world as
freely as a man, so only it
bear the name of author or printer...
Milt1 12.278 10 ...according to Lord Bacon's definition
of poetry...Poetry... seeks...to create an ideal world better than the
world of experience. Such
certainly is the explanation of Milton's tracts. Such is the apology to
be
entered for the plea for freedom of divorce; an essay, which, from the
first, until now, has brought a degree of obloquy on his name.
ACri 12.283 6 The secondary services of literature may

MLit 12.314 10 ...this habit of intellectual

MLit 12.321 25 With the name of Wordsworth rises to our

MLit 12.322 3 With the name of Wordsworth rises to our
recollection the
name of his contemporary and friend, Walter Savage Landor,-a man...
whose genius and accomplishments deserve a wiser criticism than we have
yet seen applied to them, and the rather that his name does not readily
associate itself with any school of writers.
MLit 12.329 22 [We can fancy Goethe saying to himself]

ET1 5.18 27 ...[Carlyle] named certain
individuals...whom London had
well served.
ET4 5.57 10 In Norway...the actors are bonders or
landholders, every one
of whom is named and personally and patronymically described, as the
king's friend and companion.
ET11 5.175 17 Of Richard Beauchamp, Earl of Warwick,
the Emperor told
Henry V. that no Christian king had such another knight for wisdom,
nurture and manhood, and caused him to be named, Father of curtesie.
ET11 5.179 20 Waltham is strong town; Radcliffe is red
cliff; and so on,--a
sincerity and use in naming very striking to an American, whose country
is
whitewashed all over by unmeaning names, the cast-off clothes of the
country from which its emigrants came; or named at a pinch from a
psalm-tune.
Wth 6.111 11 There are few measures of economy which
will bear to be
named without disgust;...
Boks 7.204 1 I do not hesitate to read all the books I
have named, and all
good books, in translations.
OA 7.335 5 [John Adams] spoke of the new novels of
Cooper...and
Saratoga, with praise, and named with accuracy the characters in them.
Elo2 8.126 13 ...all these are the gymnastics, the
education of eloquence, and not itself. They cannot be too much
considered and practised as
preparation, but the powers are those I first named.
PPo 8.257 3 The cedar, the cypress, the palm, the olive
and fig-tree, the
birds that inhabit them, and the garden flowers, are never wanting in
these
musky verses [of Hafiz], and are always named with effect.
Dem1 10.14 16 As I was once travelling by the Red Sea,
there was one
among the horsemen that attended us named Masollam...
Dem1 10.17 25 I believed that I discovered in
nature...somewhat which
manifested itself only in contradiction, and therefore could not be
grasped
by a conception, much less by a word. ... This, which seemed to insert
itself
between all other things, to sever them, to bind them, I named the
Demoniacal...
Plu 10.315 1 ...[Plutarch] makes a fight against
Fortune whenever she is
named.
Carl 10.490 22 They keep Carlyle as a sort of portable
cathedral-bell, which they like to produce in companies where he is
unknown, and set a-swinging... and, as in companies here (in England)
no man is named or
introduced, great is the effect...
HDC 11.38 13 The Puritans, to keep the remembrance...of
their peaceful
compact with the Indians, named their forest settlement CONCORD.
HDC 11.50 14 ...this design [the conversion of the
Indians] is named first
in the printed Considerations, that inclined Hampden, and determined
Winthrop and his friends, to come hither [to New England].
EWI 11.128 1 ...when, in 1789, the first privy council
report of evidence on
the [slave] trade...was presented to the House of Commons, a late day
being
named for the discussion...Mr. Wilberforce, Mr. Pitt, the Prime
Minister, and other gentlemen, took advantage of the postponement to
retire into the
country to read the report.
FSLN 11.233 9 You relied on the constitution. It has
not the word slave in
it; and very good argument has shown...that, with provisions so vague
for
an object not named...the robbing of a man and of all his posterity is
effected.
SHC 11.434 9 In all the multitudes of woodlands and
hillsides, which
within a few years have been laid out with a similar design [as a
cemetery], I have not known one so fitly named. Sleepy Hollow.
Humb 11.457 14 With great propriety, [Humboldt] named
his sketch of the
results of science Cosmos.
CL 12.143 8 The light which resides in [Wordsworth's
eyes]...under
favorable accidents...is more truly entitled to be held the light that
never
was on land or sea, a light radiating from some far spiritual world,
than any
that can be named.
MAng1 12.235 24 [Michelangelo] required...that he
should be absolute
master of the whole design [of St. Peter's], free to depart from the
plans of
San Gallo and to alter what had been already done. This
disinterestedness
and spirit-no fee and no interference-reminds one of the reward named
by the ancient Persian.
Milt1 12.253 20 ...no man can be named whose mind still
acts on the
cultivated intellect of England and America with an energy comparable
to
that of Milton.
ACri 12.289 3 We were educated in horror of Satan, but
Goethe remarked
that all men like to hear him named.
ACri 12.293 4 Persons have been named from their abuse
of certain
phrases, as Pyramid Lambert...
Nameh [Namah] Shah [Firdus (1)
PPo 8.241 24 Firdusi, the Persian Homer, has written in
the Shah Nameh
the annals of the fabulous and heroic kings of the country...
nameless, adj. (4)

glances from

Wsp 6.241 24 The nameless Thought...[man] shall repose
alone on that.
Wsp 6.241 25 ...the nameless Power...[man] shall repose
alone on that.
HDC 11.59 17 A nameless Wampanoag who was put to death
by the
Mohicans, after cruel tortures, was asked by his butchers, during the
torture, how he liked the war?-he said, he found it as sweet as sugar
was to
Englishmen.

Nat 1.4 10 All science has one aim, namely, to find a
theory of nature.
Nat 1.15 2 A nobler want of man is served by nature,
namely, the love of
Beauty.
Nat 1.19 21 The presence of a higher, namely, of the
spiritual element is
essential to [nature's] perfection.
Nat 1.22 14 There is still another aspect under which
the beauty of the
world may be viewed, namely, as it becomes an object of the intellect.
Nat 1.30 20 Hundreds of writers may be found...who feed
unconsciously on
the language created by the primary writers of the country, namely, who
hold primarily on nature.
Nat 1.41 18 ...[commodity] is to the mind an education
in the doctrine of
Use, namely, that a thing is good only so far as it serves;...
DSA 1.126 27 ...[this moral truth] is guarded by one
stern condition; this, namely; it is an intuition.
DSA 1.134 3 The second defect of the traditionary and
limited way of using
the mind of Christ is a consequence of the first; this, namely; that
the Moral
Nature...is not explored...
DSA 1.138 6 The capital secret of his profession,
namely, to convert life
into truth, [the preacher] had not learned.
MR 1.239 27 ...we have now a puny, protected person,
guarded by walls
and curtains...who...is forced to spend so much time in guarding them,
that
he has quite lost sight of their original use, namely, to help him to
his ends...
MR 1.241 13 Neither would I shut my ears to the plea of
the learned
professions...namely, that in the experience of all men of that class,
the
amount of manual labor which is necessary to the maintenance of a
family, indisposes and disqualifies for intellectual exertion.
LT 1.281 21 ...let us turn to see how it stands with
the other class of which
we spoke, namely, the students.
LT 1.286 7 It almost seems as if what was aforetime
spoken fabulously and
hieroglyphically, was now spoken plainly, the doctrine, namely, of the
indwelling of the Creator in man.
Con 1.299 27 Nature does not give the crown of its
approbation, namely, beauty, to any action or emblem or actor but to
one which combines both
these elements [Conservatism and Reform];...
Con 1.310 1 ...precisely the defence which was set up
for the British
Constitution, namely...that...it worked well...the same defence is set
up for
the existing institutions.
Tran 1.333 7 The idealist has another measure...namely,
the rank which
things themselves take in his consciousness;...
Tran 1.333 20 [The idealist] does not respect...the
products of labor, namely property, otherwise than as a manifold
symbol...
Tran 1.356 20 ...[these old guardians] have but one
mood on the subject, namely, that Antony is very perverse...
YA 1.371 2 A heterogeneous population crowding...to the
great gates of
North America, namely Boston, New York, and New Orleans...it cannot be
doubted that the legislation of this country should become more
catholic
and cosmopolitan than that of any other.
YA 1.384 26 These rising grounds which command the
champaign below, seem to ask for lords, true lords, land-lords...whose
government would be
what it should, namely mediation between want and supply.
Hist 2.31 3 ...where [the story of
Prometheus]...exhibits him as the defier of
Jove, it represents a state of mind which...seems the self-defence of
man
against this untruth, namely a discontent with the believed fact that a
God
exists...
Hist 2.38 13 ...in the light of these two facts,
namely, that the mind is One, and that nature is its correlative,
history is to be read and written.

wealth and credit are signs. These signs...may be counterfeited or
stolen, but that which they represent, namely, knowledge and virtue,
cannot be
counterfeited or stolen.

how many pairs of

character...

for the intrusion of such anomalous figures [as Venuses and Cupids]
into
nature,--namely that they were inevitable;...no longer dignifies the
chisel or

prosperity makes; namely to detach the beautiful from the useful...
Pt1 3.7 18 ...some men, namely poets, are natural
sayers...
Pt1 3.13 8 ...let us...observe how nature, by worthier
impulses, has insured
the poet's fidelity to his office of announcement and affirming, namely
by
the beauty of things, which becomes a new and higher beauty when
expressed.
Pt1 3.24 8 ...nature has a higher end, in the
production of new individuals, than security, namely ascension...
Pt1 3.36 10 There was this perception in [Swedenborg]
which makes the
poet or seer an object of awe and terror, namely that the same man or
society of men may wear one aspect to themselves and their companions,
and a different aspect to higher intelligences.
Pt1 3.38 27 The painter, the sculptor, the composer,
the epic rhapsodist, the
orator, all partake one desire, namely to express themselves
symmetrically
and abundantly...
Pt1 3.40 7 ...hence these throbs and heart-beatings in
the orator...to the end
namely that thought may be ejaculated as Logos, or Word.
Exp 3.67 19 Power keeps quite another road than the
turnpikes of choice

life.
Chr1 3.91 9 The people know that they need in their
representative much
more than talent, namely the power to make his talent trusted.
Chr1 3.91 19 ...the most confident and the most violent
persons learn that

terror are wasted, namely faith in a fact.

Gournou], namely a tomb, is ready without rent or taxes.
Mrs1 3.122 2 [Good society]...is a compound result into
which every great
force enters as an ingredient, namely virtue, wit, beauty, wealth and
power.
Mrs1 3.139 20 That makes the good and bad of manners,
namely what
helps or hinders fellowship.
Mrs1 3.153 4 ...the advantages which fashion values are
plants which
thrive in very confined localities, in a few streets namely.
Mrs1 3.153 15 Everything that is called fashion and
courtesy humbles itself
before the...creator of titles and dignities, namely the heart of love.
Nat2 3.187 8 ...nature hides in [the lover's] happiness
her own end, namely
progeny...
Nat2 3.194 26 The uneasiness which the thought of our
helplessness in the
chain of causes occasions us, results from looking too much at one
condition of nature, namely, Motion.
Pol1 3.214 15 ...whenever I find my dominion over
myself not sufficient
for me, and undertake the direction of [my neighbor] also, I...come
into
false relations to him. ... Love and nature cannot maintain the
assumption; it
must be executed by a practical lie, namely by force.
NER 3.260 10 One tendency appears alike in the
philosophical speculation
and in the rudest democratical movements...the wish, namely, to cast
aside
the superfluous...
NER 3.263 10 In the midst of abuses...alike in one
place and in another,-- wherever, namely, a just and heroic soul finds
itself, there it will do what is
next at hand...
NER 3.274 27 The same magnanimity shows itself...in the
preference, namely, which each man gives to the society of superiors
over that of his
equals.
PPh 4.62 13 ...the Asia in [Plato's] mind was first
heartily honored...and
now, refreshed and empowered by this worship, the instinct of Europe,

PPh 4.63 15 I announce the good of being
interpenetrated by the mind that
made nature: this benefit, namely, that it can understand nature, which
it
made and maketh.
PPh 4.69 19 ...there is another, which is as much more
beautiful than
beauty as beauty is than chaos; namely, wisdom...
PNR 4.81 21 [Plato] represents...the power, namely, of
carrying up every
fact to successive platforms...
PNR 4.84 14 [Plato affirms that] The intelligent have a
right over the
ignorant, namely, the right of instructing them.
PNR 4.85 23 Ethical science was new and vacant when
Plato could write
thus:...no one has yet sufficiently investigated, either in poetry or
prose
writings,--how, namely, that injustice is the greatest of all the evils
that the
soul has within it, and justice the greatest good.
PNR 4.88 2 ...a very well-marked class of souls, namely
those who delight
in giving a spiritual, that is, an ethico-intellectual expression to
every truth... are said to Platonize.
MoS 4.155 2 The abstractionist and the materialist thus
mutually
exasperating each other, and the scoffer expressing the worst of
materialism, there arises a third party to occupy the middle ground
between
these two, the skeptic, namely.
MoS 4.170 2 This book of Montaigne the world has
endorsed by translating
it into all tongues and printing seventy-five editions of it in Europe;
and
that, too, a circulation somewhat chosen, namely among courtiers,
soldiers, princes, men of the world and men of wit and generosity.
MoS 4.174 18 Bad as was to me this detection by San
Carlo [that all direct
ascension leads to ghastly insight]...there was still a worse, namely
the cloy

MoS 4.176 21 As far as [the power of moods] asserts
rotation of states of
mind, I suppose it suggests its own remedy, namely in the record of
larger
periods.
ShP 4.217 10 [Shakespeare]...never took the step which
seemed inevitable
to such genius, namely to explore the virtue which resides in these
[natural] symbols and imparts this power:--what is that which they
themselves say?
NMW 4.232 9 [Bonaparte] is strong in the right manner,
namely by insight.
NMW 4.240 8 [Napoleon's] grand weapon, namely the
millions whom he
directed, he owed to the representative character which clothed him.
NMW 4.247 5 We can not...sufficiently congratulate
ourselves on this
strong and ready actor [Napoleon], who...showed us how much may be
accomplished by the mere force of such virtues as all men possess in
less
degrees; namely, by punctuality, by personal attention, by courage and
thoroughness.
NMW 4.256 15 ...I said, Bonaparte represents the
democrat, or the party of
men of business, against the stationary or conservative party. I
omitted then
to say, what is material to the statement, namely that these two
parties differ
only as young and old.
GoW 4.265 8 Society has, at all times, the same want,

things which the

point of attack, must always be theirs who have the choice of the
battle-ground.
ET8 5.141 23 In Alfred, in the Northmen, one may read
the genius of the
English society, namely that private life is the place of honor.
ET10 5.169 17 Such a wealth has England earned, ever
new, bounteous and
augmenting. But the question recurs, does she take the step beyond,
namely
to the wise use, in view of the supreme wealth of nations?
ET11 5.196 7 The tools of our time, namely steam,

assumed a Spartan
shape, namely, of the sharpest weapon.

Elo1 7.99 5 One thought the philosophers of
Demosthenes's own time
found running through all his orations,--this namely, that virtue
secures its
own success.
Farm 7.150 23 There has been a nightmare bred in
England of indigestion
and spleen among landlords and loom-lords, namely, the dogma that men
breed too fast for the powers of the soil;...
WD 7.165 18 I believe they have ceased to publish the
Newgate Calendar
and the Pirate's Own Book since the family newspapers, namely the New
York Tribune and the London Times, have quite superseded them in the

Suc 7.293 9 So far from the performance being the real
success, it is clear
that the success was much earlier than that, namely, when all the feats
that

OA 7.322 1 ...if the life be true and noble, we have

Dem1 10.20 4 The demonologic is only a fine name for
egotism; an

Aris 10.46 1 Dull people think it Fortune that makes

poor. Is it? Yes, but the fortune was earlier than they think, namely,
in the
balance or adjustment between devotion to what is agreeable to-day and
the
forecast of what will be valuable to-morrow.
Aris 10.57 7 I will not protract this discourse by
describing the duties of the
brave and generous. And yet I will venture to name one...this, namely,
loyalty to your own order.
Edc1 10.125 15 We have already taken...the initial
step...thus deciding at
the start the destiny of this country,-this, namely, that the poor

allowed to put his hand into the pocket of the rich, and say, You shall
educate me...
Edc1 10.136 8 Let us apply to this subject [education]
the light of the same
torch by which we have looked at all the phenomena of the time; the
infinitude, namely, of every man.

unlooked-for acceptance of his most
paradoxical experience.
Schr 10.288 14 ...you will see the drift of all my

that the scholar must be much more than a scholar...
LLNE 10.348 16 [Fourier's] ciphering goes where
ciphering never went
before, namely, into stars, atmospheres and animals, and men and

LLNE 10.352 9 Our feeling was that Fourier had skipped
no fact but one, namely Life.
Thor 10.467 19 One of the weapons [Thoreau] used...was
a whim which

HDC 11.64 24 After the death of Rev. Mr. Estabrook, in

propounded at the [Concord] town-meeting, whether one of the three
gentlemen lately improved here in preaching, namely, Mr. John Whiting,
Mr. Holyoke and Mr. Prescott, shall be now chosen in the work of the
ministry?
LVB 11.94 17 One circumstance lessens the reluctance
with which I
intrude at this time on your [Van Buren's] attention my conviction that
the
government ought to be admonished of a new historical fact, which the
discussion of this question [the relocation of the Cherokees] has
disclosed, namely, that there exists in a great part of the Northern
people a gloomy
diffidence in the moral character of the government.
EWI 11.139 18 The tendency of things runs steadily to
this point, namely, to put every man on his merits...
EWI 11.140 9 The First of August [1834] marks the
entrance of a new
element into modern politics, namely, the civilization of the negro.
EWI 11.145 20 There remains the very elevated
consideration which the
subject [emancipation] opens...this, namely, that the civility of no
race can
be perfect whilst another race is degraded.
War 11.171 23 The attractiveness of war shows one
thing...this namely, the
conviction of man universally, that a man should be himself
responsible... for his behavior;...
War 11.174 13 If peace is to be maintained, it must be
by brave men, who
have come up to the same height as the hero, namely, the will to carry
their

FSLC 11.188 23 I thought that all men of all conditions
