    ET1 5.13 21 ...[Coleridge] compared one island [Malta] with the other [Sicily]...Sicily was an excellent school of political economy; for, in any town there, it only needed to ask what the government enacted, and reverse that, to know what ought to be done; it was the most felicitously opposite legislation to anything good and wise.
    ET1 5.16 15 At one time [Carlyle] had inquired and read a good deal about America.
    ET1 5.18 26 The baker's boy brings muffins to the window at a fixed hour every day, and that is all the Londoner knows or wishes to know on the subject. But it turned out good men.

    ET1 5.20 26 [Wordsworth] said he talked on political aspects, for he wished to impress on me and all good Americans to cultivate the moral, the conservative, etc., etc....
    ET1 5.23 12 [Wordsworth] replied he never was in haste to publish; partly because he corrected a good deal...
    ET1 5.23 24 [Wordsworth] preferred such of his poems as touched the affections, to any others; for...whatever combined a truth with an affection was ktema es aei, good to-day and good forever.

    ET4 5.71 27 The horse has more uses than Buffon noted. If you go into the streets, every driver in 'bus or dray is a bully, and if I wanted a good troop of soldiers, I should recruit among the stables.

    ET5 5.91 22 Lord Elgin, at Athens, saw the imminent ruin of the Greek remains, set up his scaffoldings...and, after five years' labor to collect them, got his marbles on ship-board. The ship struck a rock and went to the bottom. He had them all fished up by divers, at a vast expense, and brought to London; not knowing that Haydon, Fuseli and Canova, and all the good heads in all the world, were to be his applauders.
    ET5 5.99 4 One secret of [the Englishmen's] power is their mutual good understanding.

    ET6 5.114 17 English stories, bon-mots and the recorded table-talk of their wits, are as good as the best of the French.
    ET6 5.114 27 ...the usage of a dress-dinner every day at dark has a tendency to hive and produce to advantage every thing good [in table-talk].
    ET7 5.118 10 The phrase of the lowest of the [English] people is honor-bright, and their vulgar praise, His word is as good as his bond.
    ET7 5.124 11 The old Italian author of the Relation of England (in 1500), says, I have it on the best information, that when the war is actually raging most furiously, [the English] will seek for good eating and all their other comforts, without thinking what harm might befall them.

    ET9 5.152 12 ...this precious knave [George of Cappadocia] became, in good time, Saint George of England...
    ET10 5.153 9 A coarse logic rules throughout all English souls;--if you have merit, can you not show it by your good clothes and coach and horses?
    ET10 5.155 2 ...Mr. Wortley said, though, in the higher ranks, to cultivate family affections was a good thing, it was not so among the lower orders.
    ET10 5.166 9 Such as we have seen is the wealth of England; a mighty mass, and made good in whatever details we care to explore.
    ET10 5.166 13 [England's] worthies are ever surrounded by as good men as themselves;...

    ET11 5.186 11 [English nobility's] good behavior deserves all its fame...
    ET11 5.189 21 ET12 5.200 12 It is a curious proof of the English use and wont, or of their good nature, that these young men [at Oxford] are locked up every night at nine o'clock...

    ET13 5.219 16 The [English] national temperament deeply enjoys the unbroken order and tradition of its church;...the sober grace, the good company, the connection with the throne and with history, which adorn it.
    ET13 5.219 23 Good churches are not built by bad men;...
    ET13 5.221 23 The torpidity on the side of religion of the vigorous English understanding shows how much wit and folly can agree in one brain. Their religion is a quotation;...and any examination is interdicted with screams of terror. In good company you expect them to laugh at the fanaticism of the vulgar; but they do not; they are the vulgar.
    ET13 5.222 5 Wellington esteems a saint only as far as he can be an army chaplain: Mr. Briscoll, by his admirable conduct and good sense, got the better of Methodism, which had appeared among the soldiers and once among the officers.
    ET13 5.223 14 The Anglican Church is marked by the grace and good sense of its forms...

    ET14 5.247 17 [Macaulay] thinks it the distinctive merit of the Baconian philosophy in its triumph over the old Platonic, its disentangling the intellect from theories of the all-Fair and all-Good, and pinning it down to the making of a better sick chair and a better wine-whey for an invalid;-- this not ironically, but in good faith;...
    ET14 5.252 20 A good Englishman shuts himself out of three fourths of his mind...
    ET14 5.252 22 [A good Englishman] has learning, good sense, power of labor, and logic;...

    ET15 5.261 7 The celebrated Lord Somers knew of no good law proposed and passed in his time, to which the public papers had not directed his attention.

    ET15 5.268 16 No writer is suffered to claim the authorship of any paper [in the London Times]; everything good, from whatever quarter, comes out editorially;...
    ET15 5.271 6 Punch is equally an expression of English good sense, as the London Times.
    ET15 5.272 23 ...[if the London Times would cleave to the right] it would have the authority which is claimed for that dream of good men not yet come to pass...
    ET16 5.274 10 Art and high art is a favorite target for [Carlyle's] wit. Yes, Kunst is a great delusion, and Goethe and Schiller wasted a great deal of good time on it...
    ET16 5.274 14 As soon as men begin to talk of art, architecture and antiquities, nothing good comes of it [according to Carlyle].
    ET16 5.275 15 I told Carlyle that...I like the [English] people; they are as good as they are handsome;...
    ET16 5.277 13 It was pleasant to see that...[Stonehenge]--two upright stones and a lintel laid across...were like what is most permanent on the face of the planet: these, and the barrows,--mere mounds...like the same mound on the plain of Troy, which still makes good to the passing mariner on Hellespont, the vaunt of Homer...
    ET16 5.278 18 I...was ready to maintain that some cleverer elephants or mylodonta had borne off and laid these rocks [of Stonehenge] one on another. Only the good beasts must have known how to cut a well-wrought tenon and mortise...
    ET16 5.279 6 Stonehenge, in virtue of the simplicity of its plan and its good preservation, is as if new and recent;...
    ET16 5.283 18 I chanced to see, a year ago, men at work...in Boston, swinging a block of granite of the size of the largest of the Stonehenge columns, with an ordinary derrick. The men were common masons...nor did they think they were doing anything remarkable. I suppose there were as good men a thousand years ago.
    ET16 5.284 21 Although these apartments and the long library [at Wilton Hall] were full of good family portraits...yet the eye was still drawn to the windows...
    ET16 5.284 23 ...though there were some good pictures [at Wilton Hall]... yet the eye was still drawn to the windows...
    ET16 5.286 9 Whilst we listened to the organ [at Salisbury Cathedral], my friend [Carlyle] remarked, the music is good, and yet not quite religious...
    ET16 5.288 27 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. Every one is on his good behavior and must be dressed for dinner at six.
    ET17 5.292 7 An equal good fortune attended many later accidents of my journey [in England]...
    ET17 5.292 12 My visit [to England] fell in the fortunate days when Mr. [George] Bancroft was the American Minister in London, and at his house, or through his good offices, I had easy access to excellent persons and to privileged places.

    Pow 6.74 4 Everything is good which takes away one plaything and delusion more...
    Pow 6.74 9 Friends, books, pictures, lower duties, talents, flatteries, hopes,-- all are distractions which cause oscillations in our giddy balloon, and make a good poise and a straight course impossible.
    Pow 6.75 16 ...I hope, said a good man to Rothschild, your children are not too fond of money and business; I am sure you would not wish that.--I am sure I should wish that; I wish them to give mind, soul, heart and body to business,--that is the way to be happy.
