    ShP 4.196 3 The first play [Shakespeare's Henry VIII] was written by a superior, thoughtful man, with a vicious ear. I can mark his lines, and know well their cadence. See Wolsey's soliloquy, and the following scene with Cromwell, where...the verse has even a trace of pulpit eloquence.
    ShP 4.208 6 Shakspeare is the only biographer of Shakspeare; and even he can tell nothing, except to the Shakspeare in us...
    ShP 4.218 22 ...it must even go into the world's history that the best poet [Shakespeare] led an obscure and profane life, using his genius for the public amusement.
    NMW 4.241 22 [Napoleon's] real strength lay in [the people's] conviction that he was their representative in his genius and aims...even when he decimated them by his conscriptions.

    ET4 5.64 27 In the case of the ship-money, the judges delivered it for law, that England being an island, the very midland shires therein are all to be accounted maritime; and Fuller adds, the genius even of landlocked counties driving the natives with a maritime dexterity.
    ET4 5.68 20 Even for [the English] highwaymen the same virtue is claimed, and Robin Hood comes described to us as mitissimus praedonum; the gentlest thief.

    ET6 5.103 16 A terrible machine has possessed itself of the ground, the air, the men and women [in England], and hardly even thought is free.
    ET6 5.106 6 ...[the Englishman's] bearing, on being introduced, is cold, even though he is seeking your acquaintance...
    ET6 5.108 25 The romance does not exceed the height of noble passion in Mrs. Lucy Hutchinson, or in Lady Russell, or even as one discerns through the plain prose of Pepys's Diary, the sacred habit of an English wife.
    ET6 5.113 4 Even Brummel, [the Englishmen's] fop, was marked by the severest simplicity in dress.
    ET7 5.118 13 Even Lord Chesterfield...when he came to define a gentleman, declared that truth made his distinction;...
    ET7 5.121 10 [The English] are like ships with too much head on to come quickly about, nor will prosperity or even adversity be allowed to shake their habitual view of conduct.
    ET8 5.128 16 [The English]...even if disposed to recreation, will avoid an open garden.
    ET8 5.139 8 Even the scale of expense on which people live...proves the tension of [English] muscle...

    ET11 5.173 25 [The English people] are proud...of the language and symbol of chivalry. Even the word lord is the luckiest style that is used in any language to designate a patrician.
    ET11 5.193 13 Even peers who are men of worth and public spirit [in England] are overtaken and embarrassed by their vast expense.
    ET12 5.200 20 Oxford is old, even in England...

    ET13 5.223 22 [The Anglican Church] is not in ordinary a persecuting church; it is not inquisitorial, not even inquisitive;...
    ET14 5.234 22 Even in its elevations materialistic, [England's] poetry is common sense inspired;...
    ET14 5.236 15 There is a...closeness to the matter in hand, even in the second and third class of [English] writers;...
    ET14 5.241 21 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, even to Van Helmont and Behmen...

    ET16 5.274 23 For the science, [Carlyle] had if possible even less tolerance [than for art]...
    ET16 5.280 4 The Acta Sanctorum show plainly that the men of those times believed in God and in the immortality of the soul, as their abbeys and cathedrals testify: now, even the puritanism is all gone.

    Bhr 6.174 13 It ought not to need to print in a reading-room a caution...to persons who look at marble statues that they shall not smite them with canes. But even in the perfect civilization of this city [Boston] such cautions are not quite needless in the Athenaeum and City Library.
