ShP 4.198 25 Show us the constituency, and the now
invisible channels by
which the senator is made aware of their wishes;...
ShP 4.200 1 Our English Bible is a wonderful specimen
of the strength and
music of the English language. But it was not made by one man, or at
one
time;...
ShP 4.201 23 We have to thank the researches of
antiquaries, and the
Shakspeare Society, for ascertaining the steps of the English drama,
from
the Mysteries...down to the possession of the stage by the very pieces
which
Shakspeare altered, remodelled and finally made his own.
NMW 4.223 7 It is Swedenborg's theory that every organ
is made up of
homogeneous particles;...
NMW 4.223 9 It is Swedenborg's theory...as it is
sometimes expressed, every whole is made of similars;...
NMW 4.223 20 In our society there is a standing
antagonism...between
those who have made their fortunes, and the young and the poor who have
fortunes to make;...
NMW 4.236 26 Conquest has made me what I am [said
Napoleon], and
conquest must maintain me.
NMW 4.239 16 ...[Napoleon]...made no secret of his
contempt for the born
kings...
NMW 4.241 13 The best document of [Napoleon's] relation
to his troops is
the order of the day on the morning of the battle of Austerlitz, in
which
Napoleon promises the troops that he will keep his person out of reach
of
fire. This declaration, which is the reverse of that ordinarily made by
generals and sovereigns on the eve of a battle, sufficiently explains
the
devotion of the army to their leader.
NMW 4.241 25 ...when allusion was made to the precious
blood of
centuries...[Napoleon] suggested, Neither is my blood ditch-water.
NMW 4.244 9 ...ample acknowledgements are made by
[Napoleon] to
Lannes, Duroc...
NMW 4.244 13 If he felt himself their patron and the
founder of their
fortunes, as when he said I made my generals out of mud,--[Napoleon]
could not hide his satisfaction in receiving from them a seconding and
support commensurate with the grandeur of his enterprise.
NMW 4.248 7 The world treated [Napoleon's] novelties
just as it treats
everybody's novelties,--made infinite objection...
NMW 4.249 1 Read [Napoleon's] account, too, of the way
in which battles
are gained. In all battles a moment occurs when the bravest troops,
after
having made the greatest efforts, feel inclined to run.
NMW 4.250 22 ...Bonaparte pointed to the stars, and
said, You may talk as
long as you please, gentlemen, but who made all that?
NMW 4.251 18 [Bonaparte's] memoirs...have great value,
after all the
deduction that it seems is to be made from them on account of his known
disingenuousness.
NMW 4.254 17 A great reputation is a great noise [said
Napoleon]: the

GoW 4.275 26 [Goethe] hates...to be made to say over

GoW 4.279 27 The argument [in Goethe's Wilhelm Meister]
is the passage
of a democrat to the aristocracy, using both words in their best sense.
And
this passage is not made in any mean or creeping way...
GoW 4.280 2 Nature and character assist [Wilhelm
Meister's passage from
democrat to the aristocracy], and the rank is made real by sense and
probity
in the nobles.
ET1 5.5 11 ...I have copied the few notes I made of
visits to persons...
ET1 5.13 8 When I rose to go, [Coleridge] said...I will
repeat some verses I
lately made on my baptismal anniversary...
ET1 5.15 23 ...books inevitably made [Carlyle's]
topics.
ET1 5.22 10 [Wordsworth] had just returned from a visit
to Staffa, and
within three days had made three sonnets on Fingal's Cave...
ET1 5.24 21 To judge from a single conversation,
[Wordsworth] made the
impression of a narrow and very English mind;...
ET2 5.26 11 ...I took my berth in the packet-ship
Washington Irving and
sailed from Boston on Tuesday, 5th October, 1847. On Friday at noon we
had only made one hundred and thirty-four miles.
ET2 5.28 15 In one week [the ship] has made 1467
miles...
ET3 5.34 13 Nothing [in England] is left as it was
made.
ET4 5.45 22 It has been denied that the English have
genius. Be it as it
may...they have made or applied the principal inventions.
ET4 5.47 13 How came such men as...Francis Bacon,
George Herbert, Henry Vane, to exist here [in England]? What made these
delicate
natures?...
ET4 5.53 25 Only a hardy and wise people could have
made this small
territory [England] great.
ET4 5.55 17 ...[The Celts] made the best popular
literature of the Middle
Ages...
ET4 5.67 11 The fair Saxon man...is not the wood out of
which cannibal, or
inquisitor, or assassin is made...
ET5 5.74 23 [The Roman] disembarked his legions [in
England]...at last, he
made a handsome compliment of roads and walls, and departed.
ET5 5.75 25 Sense and economy must rule in a world
which is made of
sense and economy...
ET5 5.79 9 ...[Kenelm Digby] had so graceful elocution
and noble address, that, had he been dropt out of the clouds in any
part of the world, he would
have made himself respected;...
ET5 5.83 5 This [English] common-sense is a
perception...of laws that can
be stated, and of laws than cannot be stated, or that are learned only
by
practice, in which allowance for friction is made.
ET5 5.91 2 Sir John Herschel, in completion of the work
of his father, who
had made the catalogue of the stars of the northern hemisphere,
expatriated
himself for years at the Cape of Good Hope...
ET5 5.92 8 Faithful performance of what is undertaken
to be performed, [the English] honor in themselves, and exact in
others, as certificate of
equality with themselves. The modern world is theirs. They have made
and
make it day by day.
ET5 5.92 23 [The English] have made the island a
thoroughfare...
ET5 5.97 7 [English] social classes are made by
statute.
ET5 5.98 12 The manners and customs of [English]
society are artificial;... and we have a nation whose existence is a
work of art;--a cold, barren, almost arctic isle being made the most
fruitful, luxurious and imperial land
in the whole earth.
ET5 5.98 18 Man [in England] is made as a Birmingham
button.
ET6 5.102 16 ...Sydney Smith had made it a proverb that
little Lord John
Russell, the minister, would take command of the Channel fleet
to-morrow.
ET6 5.105 13 An Englishman...wears a wig, or a shawl,
or a saddle, or
stands on his head, and no remark is made.
ET7 5.118 15 Even Lord Chesterfield...when he came to
define a
gentleman, declared that truth made his distinction;...
ET7 5.121 19 ...the Englishman is not fickle. He had
really made up his
mind now for years as he read his newspaper, to hate and despise M.
Guizot;...
ET7 5.125 4 It is told of a good Sir John that he heard
a case stated by
counsel, and made up his mind;...
ET8 5.129 12 Was it...a stroke of humor in the serious
Swedenborg...that
made him shut up the English souls in a heaven by themselves?
ET8 5.133 10 There are multitudes of rude young
English...who...have
made the English traveller a proverb for uncomfortable and offensive
manners.
ET8 5.134 24 ...here [in England] exists the best stock
in the world...as if
the burly inexpressive, now mute and contumacious, now fierce and
sharp-tongued
dragon, which once made the island light with his fiery breath, had
bequeathed his ferocity to his conqueror.
ET9 5.145 20 A much older traveller...says... ...
...whenever [the English] partake of any delicacy with a foreigner,
they ask him whether such a thing
is made in his country.
ET9 5.148 20 I remember a shrewd politician...told me
that he had known
several successful statesmen made by their foible.
ET10 5.159 9 Iron and steel are very obedient. Whether
it were not possible
to make a spinner that would not rebel...nor emigrate? At the
solicitation of
the masters...Mr. Roberts of Manchester undertook to create this
peaceful
fellow, instead of the quarrelsome fellow God had made.
ET10 5.159 26 Eight hundred years ago commerce had made
[England] rich...
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.
ET11 5.173 18 The Anglican clergy are identified with
the aristocracy. Time and law have made the joining and moulding
perfect in every part.
ET11 5.187 13 [English nobility] is a romance adorning
English life with a
larger horizon; a midway heaven, fulfilling to their sense their fairy
tales
and poetry. This, just as far as the breeding of the nobleman really
made
him brave, handsome, accomplished and great-hearted.
ET11 5.189 2 Arthur Young, Bakewell, Mechi have made
[British dukes] agricultural.
ET11 5.191 11 Prostitutes taken from the theatres were
made duchesses [in
England]...
ET11 5.194 14 A man of wit [in England]...confessed to
his friend that he
could not enter [noblemen's] houses without being made to feel that
they
were great lords, and he a low plebeian.
ET11 5.197 4 All the [noble English] families are new,
but the name is old, and they have made a covenant with their memories
not to disturb it.
ET12 5.209 20 Oxford...shuts up the lectureships which
were made public
for all men thereunto to have concourse;...
ET12 5.209 25 ...many chairs and many fellowships [at
Oxford] are made
beds of ease;...
ET13 5.216 24 The Catholic Church, thrown on this
toiling, serious people [of England], has made in fourteen centuries a
massive system...
ET13 5.218 4 The carved and pictured chapel...made the
parish-church [in
England] a sort of book and Bible to the people's eye.
ET13 5.219 2 Another part of the same service [at York
Minster] on this
occasion was not insignificant. Handel's coronation anthem, God save
the
King, was played by Dr. Camidge on the organ, with sublime effect. The
minster and the music were made for each other.
ET13 5.220 16 ...the age...of the Sherlocks and
Butlers, is gone. Silent
revolutions in opinion have made it impossible that men like these
should
return...
ET13 5.221 12 A great duke said on the occasion of a
victory, in the House
of Lords, that he thought the Almighty God had not been well used by
them, and that it would become their magnanimity, after so great
successes, to take order that a proper acknowledgement be made.
ET13 5.230 24 Electricity cannot be made fast, mortared
up and ended...
ET14 5.235 3 It is a tacit rule of the [English]
language to make the frame
or skeleton of Saxon words, and, when elevation or ornament is sought,
to
interweave Roman, but sparingly; nor is a sentence made of Roman words
alone, without loss of strength.
ET14 5.237 9 ...the Greek art wrought many a vase or
column, in which too
long or too lithe, or nodes, or pits and flaws are made a beauty of;...
ET14 5.240 12 [Bacon] held this element [prima
philosophia] essential... believing that no perfect discovery can be
made in a flat or level, but you
must ascend to a higher science.
ET14 5.246 27 Thackeray finds that God has made no
allowance for the
poor thing in his universe...
ET14 5.251 17 ...literary reputations have been
achieved [in England] by
forcible men...who were driven by tastes and modes they found in vogue
into their several careers. So, at this moment, every ambitious young
man
studies geology: so members of Parliament are made, and churchmen.
ET14 5.255 24 ...poetry [in England] is degraded and
made ornamental.
ET14 5.258 18 For a self-conceited modish life, made up
of trifles...there is
no remedy like the Oriental largeness.
ET15 5.266 11 The staff of The [London] Times has
always been made up
of able men.
ET15 5.266 19 [The London Times's] private
information...recalls the
stories of Fouche's police, whose omniscience made it believed that the
Empress Josephine must be in his pay.
ET15 5.271 11 [Punch's] sketches are usually made by
masterly hands...
ET16 5.273 22 The fine weather and my friend's
[Carlyle's] local
knowledge of Hampshire...made the way short.
ET16 5.281 23 The heroic antiquary [William
Stukeley]...connects [Stonehenge] with the oldest monuments and
religion of the world, and... does not stick to say, the Deity who made
the world by the scheme of
Stonehenge.
ET16 5.282 14 This cup or little boat, in which the
magnet was made to
float on water and so show the north, was probably [the compass's]
first
form...
ET16 5.287 21 I fancied that one or two of my anecdotes
made some
impression on Carlyle...
ET17 5.293 6 A finer hospitality made many private
houses [in London] not less known and dear.
ET17 5.294 3 At Edinburgh...I made the acquaintance of
DeQuincey, of
Lord Jeffrey...

SlHr 10.439 18 The severity of [Samuel Hoar's] logic

him

SlHr 10.442 4 The impression [Samuel Hoar] made on

honorable to him and them.
SlHr 10.442 24 [Samuel Hoar's] character made him the

SlHr 10.443 25 Such was, in old age, the beauty of

probity on all beholders.
Thor 10.453 20 A natural skill for mensuration...and
his intimate
knowledge of the territory about Concord, made [Thoreau] drift into the
profession of land-surveyor.
Thor 10.462 4 [Thoreau] said he wanted every stride his
legs made.
Thor 10.462 5 The length of [Thoreau's] walk uniformly
made the length
of his writing.
Thor 10.463 16 [Thoreau] said...Nature knows very well
what sounds are
worth attending to, and has made up her mind not to hear the
railroad-whistle.
Thor 10.464 24 ...[Thoreau] said, one day, The other
world is all my art;...I
do not use it as a means. This was the muse and genius that ruled his
opinions, conversation, studies, work and course of life. This made him
a
searching judge of men.
Thor 10.465 1 At first glance [Thoreau] measured his
companion, and... could very well report his weight and calibre. And
this made the impression
of genius which his conversation sometimes gave.
Thor 10.466 7 Mr. Thoreau dedicated his genius with
such entire love to
the fields, hills and waters of his native town, that he made them
known and
interesting to all reading Americans...
Thor 10.466 12 [Thoreau] had made summer and winter
observations on [the Concord River] for many years...
Thor 10.472 16 ...no academy made [Thoreau] its
corresponding secretary...
Thor 10.475 1 [Thoreau] could not be deceived as to the
presence or
absence of the poetic element in any composition, and his thirst for
this
made him negligent and perhaps scornful of superficial graces.
Thor 10.478 19 It was easy to trace to the inexorable
demand on all for
exact truth that austerity which made this willing hermit [Thoreau]
more
solitary even than he wished.
Thor 10.481 27 [Thoreau]...became very jealous of
cities and the sad work
which their refinements and artifices made with man and his dwelling.
Thor 10.483 10 Nature made ferns for pure leaves, to
show what she could
do in that line.
Thor 10.485 5 [Thoreau's] soul was made for the noblest
society;...
Carl 10.492 20 The navigation laws of England made its
commerce.
Carl 10.492 23 [Carlyle says] St. John was insulted by
the Dutch; he came
home, got the law passed that foreign vessels should pay high fees, and
it
cut the throat of the Dutch, and made the English trade.
Carl 10.494 24 [Carlyle] preaches, as by cannonade, the
doctrine that every
noble nature was made by God...
Carl 10.496 12 Wellington [Carlyle] respects...as
having made up his mind, once for all, that he will not have to do with
any kind of lie.
Carl 10.498 4 ...in England, where the morgue of
aristocracy has very
slowly admitted scholars into society...[Carlyle] has...made himself a

HDC 11.35 2 Indian corn, even the coarsest, made as
pleasant meal as rice.
HDC 11.36 11 The moose was still trotting in the

sinews [the Indians] made their bowstring.
HDC 11.36 13 Of the pith elder...[the Indians] made
their arrow.
HDC 11.37 17 ...the peace was made, and the ear of the

HDC 11.42 23 The greater speed and success that
distinguish the planting
of the human race in this country, over all other plantations in
history, owe
themselves mainly to the new subdivisions of the State into small
corporations of land and power. It is vain to look for the inventor. No
man
made them.

HDC 11.50 10 About ten years after the planting of
Concord, efforts began
to be made to civilize the Indians...
HDC 11.51 8 Early efforts were made to instruct [the
Indians]...
HDC 11.51 13 In 1644, Squaw Sachem, the widow of
Nanepashemet...with
two sachems of Wachusett, made a formal submission to the English
government, and intimated their desire...to learn to read God's word
and
know God aright;...
HDC 11.54 8 Wilson relates that, at their meetings, the
Indians sung a
psalm, made Indian by [John] Eliot...
HDC 11.55 2 The very great immigration from England
made the lands [near Concord] more valuable every year...
HDC 11.63 13 ...I am sorry to find that the servile
Randolph speaks of [Peter Bulkeley 2nd] with marked respect. It would
seem that his visit to
England had made him a courtier.
HDC 11.63 20 ...the country people came armed into
Boston, on the
afternoon (of Thursday, 18th April) in such rage and heat, as made us
all
tremble to think what would follow;...
HDC 11.64 7 Some interesting peculiarities in the
manners and customs of
the time appear in the town's [Concord's] books. Proposals of marriage
were made by the parents of the parties...
HDC 11.66 14 Mr. [Daniel] Bliss...by his earnest
sympathy with [George
Whitefield], in opinion and practice, gave offence to a part of his
people. Party and mutual councils were called, but no grave charge was
made good
against him.
HDC 11.66 17 The charges seem to have been made by the
lovers of order
and moderation against Mr. [Daniel] Bliss, as a favorer of religious
excitements.
HDC 11.71 8 In September [1774], incensed at the new
royal law which
made the judges dependent on the crown, the inhabitants [of Concord]
assembled on the common...
HDC 11.72 19 It is said that all the services of that
day [March 13, 1775] made a deep impression on the people [of
Concord]...
HDC 11.73 9 In the field where the western abutment of
the old bridge [in
Concord] may still be seen...the first organized resistance was made to
the
British arms.
HDC 11.82 10 From that time [1788] to the present hour,
this town [Concord] has made a slow but constant progress in population
and wealth...
LVB 11.91 2 The newspapers now inform us that...a
treaty contracting for
the exchange of all the Cherokee territory was pretended to be made by
an
agent on the part of the United States with some persons appearing on
the
part of the Cherokees;...
LVB 11.92 21 The piety, the principle that is left in
the United States... forbid us to entertain [the relocation of the
Cherokees] as a fact. Such a
dereliction of all faith and virtue, such a denial of justice...were
never heard
of...in the dealing of a nation with its own allies and wards, since
the earth
was made.
EWI 11.101 17 If the Virginian piques himself...on the

EWI 11.105 9 Granville Sharpe was accidentally made
acquainted with the
sufferings of a slave, whom a West Indian planter had brought with him
to
London...
EWI 11.107 27 [The English Quakers] made friends and
raised money for
the slave;...
EWI 11.108 21 [Thomas] Clarkson went to Bristol, made
himself
acquainted with the interior of the slave-ships and the details of the
trade.
EWI 11.108 24 The facts [of the slave trade] confirmed
[Thomas Clarkson'
s] sentiment, that Providence had never made that to be wise which was
immoral...
EWI 11.110 20 ...Slave ships] carried five, six, even
seven hundred stowed
in a ship built so narrow as to be unsafe, being made just broad enough
on
the beam to keep the sea.
EWI 11.119 10 ...[Sir Lionel Smith] defended the negro
women [in
Jamaica]; they should not be made to dig the cane-holes...
EWI 11.124 7 If any mention was made of homicide,
madness, adultery, and intolerable tortures [of negroes], we would let
the church-bells ring
louder...
EWI 11.124 14 The sugar [the negroes] raised was
excellent: nobody tasted
blood in it. The coffee was fragrant;...the brandy made nations
happy;...
EWI 11.138 2 This moral force perpetually reinforces
and dignifies the
friends of this cause [emancipation in the West Indies]. It...gave that
superiority in reason, in imagery, in eloquence, which...has made it a
proverb in Massachusetts, that eloquence is dog-cheap at the
anti-slavery
chapel.
EWI 11.140 27 Mr. Clarkson, early in his career, made a
collection of
African productions and manufactures, as specimens of the arts and
culture
of the negro;...
EWI 11.147 25 The sentiment of Right...pronounces
Freedom. The Power

August [1834], has made a sign to the ages, of his will.
War 11.153 10 New territory, augmented numbers and
extended interests
call out new virtues and abilities, and the tribe makes long strides.
And, finally, when much progress has been made, all its secrets of
wisdom and
art are disseminated by its invasions.
War 11.155 8 Nature implants with life...perpetual
struggle...to attain to a
mastery and the security of a permanent, self-defended being; and to
each
creature these objects are made so dear that it risks its life
continually in the
struggle for these ends.
War 11.157 26 ...the art of war...has made...battles
less frequent and less
murderous.
War 11.158 20 I [Cavendish] navigated along the coast
of Chili, Peru, and
New Spain, where I made great spoils.
War 11.160 23 Cannot peace be, as well as war? This
thought is...the rising
of the general tide in the human soul,-and rising highest, and first
made
visible, in the most simple and pure souls...
War 11.164 25 You shall hear, some day, of a wild fancy
which some man
has in his brain, of the mischief of secret oaths. Come again one or
two
years afterwards, and you shall see it has built great houses of solid
wood
and brick and mortar. You shall see a hundred presses printing a
million
sheets; you shall see men and horses and wheels made to walk, run and
roll
for it...
War 11.170 2 The question naturally arises, How is this
new aspiration of
the human mind [towards peace] to be made visible and real?
War 11.173 6 [Shakespeare's lords] are not shams, but
the substance of
which that age and world is made.
FSLC 11.179 6 The last year has forced us all into
politics, and made it a
paramount duty to seek what it is often a duty to shun.
FSLC 11.181 5 I met the smoothest of Episcopal
Clergymen the other day, and allusion being made to Mr. Webster's
treachery, he blandly replied, Why, do you know I think that the great
action of his life.
FSLC 11.182 22 ...[the crisis over the Fugitive Slave
Law] showed what
stuff reputations are made of...
FSLC 11.184 13 ...what is the use of constitutions, if
all the guaranties
provided by the jealousy of ages for the protection of liberty are made
of no
effect, when a bad act of Congress finds a willing commissioner?
FSLC 11.188 19 I thought that all men of all conditions
had been made
sharers of a certain experience, that in certain rare and retired
moments they
had been made to see how man is man...
FSLC 11.188 21 I thought that all men of all conditions
had been made
sharers of a certain experience, that in certain rare and retired
moments they

FSLC 11.189 17 I thought it was this fair mystery,
whose foundations are
hidden in eternity, which made the basis of human society, and of
law;...
FSLC 11.193 18 Will you...blame the air for rushing in
where a vacuum is
made...
FSLC 11.198 6 What shall we say of the functionary by
whom the recent
rendition [of the Fugitive Slave Law] was made?
FSLC 11.199 25 [The Fugitive Slave Law] has...made
every citizen a
student of natural law.
FSLC 11.208 13 Why in the name of common sense and the
peace of
mankind is not [abolition] made the subject of instant negotiation and
settlement?
FSLC 11.212 17 This [Fugitive Slave] law must be made
inoperative.
FSLN 11.216 4 We that had loved him so, followed him,
honoured him,/ Lived in his mild and magnificent eye,/ Learned his
great language, caught
his clear accents,/ Made him our pattern to live and to die!/
FSLN 11.219 13 ...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 11.220 25 ...all men like to be made much of.
FSLN 11.224 23 ...the appeal is sure to be made to
[Webster's] physical
and mental ability when his character is assailed.
FSLN 11.228 9 [Webster] did as immoral men usually do,
made very low
bows to the Christian Church...
FSLN 11.228 12 ...when allusion was made to the
question of duty and the
sanctions of morality, [Webster] very frankly said...Some higher law,
something existing somewhere between here and the third heaven,-I do
not know where.
FSLN 11.228 25 There was an old fugitive law, but it
had become, or was
fast becoming...by the genius and laws of Massachusetts, inoperative.
The
new [Fugitive Slave] Bill made it operative...
FSLN 11.233 24 ...now you relied on these dismal
guaranties infamously
made in 1850; and, before the body of Webster is yet crumbled, it is
found
that they have crumbled.
FSLN 11.235 9 ...no man has a right to hope that the
laws of New York
will defend him from the contamination of slaves another day until he
has
made up his mind that he will not owe his protection to the laws of New
York, but to his own sense and spirit.
FSLN 11.237 8 The end for which man was made is not
crime in any form...
FSLN 11.240 16 [Liberty] is made difficult, because
freedom is the
accomplishment and perfectness of man.
FSLN 11.242 20 The low bows to all the crockery gods of
the day were
duly made...
FSLN 11.243 13 Having made this manifesto and professed
his adoration
for liberty in the time of his grandfathers, [Robert Winthrop]
proceeded
with his work of denouncing freedom and freemen at the present day...
AsSu 11.250 16 ...beyond this charge, which it is
impossible was ever
sincerely made, that he broke over the proprieties of debate, I find

in a letter to

AKan 11.262 18 ...the Saxon man, when he is well awake,

JBS 11.278 12 ...in Pennsylvania...[John Brown] fell in
with a boy...whom
he looked upon as his superior. This boy was a slave;...he saw that
this boy
had nothing better to look forward to in life, whilst he himself was
petted
and made much of;...
JBS 11.278 23 ...[John Brown's] enterprise to go into
Virginia and run off
five hundred or a thousand slaves was...the keeping of an oath made to
heaven and earth forty-seven years before.
JBS 11.279 2 ...I incline to accept [John Brown's] own
account of the
matter at Charlestown, which makes the date a little older, when he
said, This was all settled millions of years before the world was made.
JBS 11.279 25 [John Brown] made his hard bed on the
mountains with [animals];...

TPar 11.290 11 [Theodore Parker's] ministry fell...on

Southern slavery...made new and vast pretensions...
TPar 11.290 17 Two days...the days of the rendition of

remarkable discourses.
TPar 11.290 22 By the incessant power of his statement,

made furious by freedom and wages?
EPro 11.317 16 ...great as the popularity of the

SMC 11.370 20 ...Word was sent by General Barnes, that,
