degree from the conditions of time.
OS 2.273 16 The emphasis of facts and persons in my
thought has nothing
to do with time.
OS 2.273 21 In common speech we refer all things to
time...
OS 2.278 18 We do not yet possess ourselves, and we
know at the same
time that we are much more.
OS 2.293 7 [God's presence] inspires in man an
infallible trust. He has...the
sight, that the best is the true, and may in that thought...adjourn to
the sure
revelation of time the solution of his private riddles.
OS 2.297 8 ...the universe is represented...in a moment
of time.
Cir 2.309 15 Valor consists in the power of
self-recovery, so that a man... cannot be out-generalled, but put him
where you will, he stands. This can
only be by...the intrepid conviction that his laws...may at any time be
superseded...
Cir 2.310 4 Much more obviously is history and the
state of the world at
any one time directly dependent on the intellectual classification then
existing in the minds of men.
Cir 2.317 11 ...when these waves of God flow into me I

government. Let him intend
his mind without respite, without rest, in one direction. His best heed
long

Int 2.339 10 ...if a man fasten his attention on a
single aspect of truth and

falsehood; herein resembling the air, which is...the breath of our

Art1 2.354 24 It is the habit of certain minds to give
an all-excluding
fulness to...the word, they alight upon, and to make that for the time
the

Art1 2.355 12 ...each work of genius...concentrates

Pt1 3.4 27 ...this hidden truth, that the fountains
whence all this river of
Time and its creatures floweth are intrinsically ideal and beautiful,

to the consideration of the nature and functions of the Poet, or the
man of
Beauty;...and to the general aspect of the art in the present time.
Pt1 3.5 10 Nature enhances her beauty, to the eye of

GoW 4.272 18 This reflective and critical wisdom makes
the poem [Goethe's Helena] more truly the flower of this time.
GoW 4.284 17 [Goethe] has no aims less large than the
conquest...of
universal truth, to be his portion: a man...having one test for all
men,--What

rank, privileges, health, time, Being itself.
GoW 4.285 17 [Goethe] can not hate anybody; his time is
worth too much.
GoW 4.287 12 ...the charm of this portion of the book
[Goethe's Thory of
Colors] consists in the simplest statement of the relation betwixt
these
grandees of European scientific history and himself; the mere drawing
of
the lines from Goethe to Kepler, from Goethe to Bacon, from Goethe to
Newton. The drawing of the line is, for the time and person, a solution
of
the formidable problem...
GoW 4.289 10 Goethe, coming into an over-civilized time

On Friday I did not

ET1 5.16 6 When too much praise of any genius annoyed
[Carlyle] he
professed hugely to admire the talent shown by his pig. He had spent
much
time and contrivance in confining the poor beast to one enclosure in
his

board
down, and had foiled him.
ET1 5.16 15 At one time [Carlyle] had inquired and read
a good deal about
America.
ET1 5.18 16 ...[Carlyle]...saw how every event affects
all the future. Christ

seized upon horses
where they landed, and were at once converted into a body of expert
cavalry. At one time this skill seems to have declined.

every active man, in any nation, finds himself at one time or other
forced to

greatest men that ever existed, but they were not solitary in their own
time.
ET6 5.107 24 ...with the national tendency to sit fast
in the same spot for
many generations, [the Englishman's house] comes to be, in the course
of
time, a museum of heirlooms...
ET6 5.111 6 Bacon told [the English], Time was the
right reformer;...
ET6 5.113 25 The guests [at dinner in London] are
expected to arrive
within half an hour of the time fixed by card of invitation...
ET8 5.131 1 ...you shall find in the common [English]
people a surly
indifference, sometimes gruffness and ill temper; and in minds of more
power, magazines of inexhaustible war, challenging The ruggedest hour
that time and spite dare bring/ To frown upon the enraged
Northumberland./
ET8 5.140 13 Haldor remained a short time with the
king...
ET9 5.152 12 ...this precious knave [George of
Cappadocia] became, in
good time, Saint George of England...
ET10 5.160 14 The yield of wheat [in England] has gone
on from 2,000, 000 quarters in the time of the Stuarts, to 13,000,000
in 1854.
ET10 5.170 4 ...the evil [of England's wealth] requires
a deeper cure, which time and a simpler social organization must
supply.
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 5.177 23 [The English aristocracy] have often no
residence in
London, and only go thither a short time, during the season, to see the
opera;...
ET11 5.178 7 [The English] proverb is, that fifty miles
from London, a
family will last a hundred years;...but I doubt that steam, the enemy
of time
as well as of space, will disturb these ancient rules.
ET11 5.184 3 It was remarked, on the 10th April, 1848
(the day of the
Chartist demonstration), that the upper classes [in England] were for
the
first time actively interesting themselves in their own defence...
ET11 5.195 22 In the university, the [English] noblemen
are exempted
from the public exercises for the degree...by which they attain a
degree
called honorary. At the same time, the fees they have to pay for
matriculation, and on all other occasions, are much higher.
ET11 5.196 7 The tools of our time...belong to those
who can handle
them;...
ET13 5.216 27 The Catholic Church, thrown on this
toiling, serious people [of England], has made in fourteen centuries a
massive system...at once
domestical and stately. In the long time, it has blended with
everything in
heaven above and the earth beneath.
ET13 5.224 20 Abroad with my wife, writes Pepys
piously, the first time
that ever I rode in my own coach; which do make my heart rejoice and
praise God...
ET14 5.236 12 The union of Saxon precision and Oriental
soaring, of
which Shakspeare is the perfect example, is shared in less degree by
the
writers of two centuries. I find...the whole writing of the time
charged with
a masculine force and freedom.
ET14 5.242 7 In England these [generalizations]...do
all have a kind of
filial retrospect to Plato and the Greeks. Of this kind is...Doctor
Samuel
Clarke's argument for theism from the nature of space and time;...
ET14 5.243 3 ...[the Elizabethan age was] a period
almost short enough to
justify Ben Jonson's remark on Lord Bacon,--About his time, and within
his view, were born all the wits that could honor a nation, or help
study.
ET14 5.248 25 Coleridge...who wrote and spoke the only
high criticism in
his time, 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 5.258 24 For a self-conceited modish life...there
is no remedy like the
Oriental largeness. That astonishes and disconcerts English decorum.
For
once, there is...power which trifles with time and space.
ET15 5.261 8 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.
ET16 5.274 3 I thought it natural that [travelling
Americans] should give
some time to works of art collected here [in London] which they cannot
find at home...
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 5.280 8 [Carlyle] fancied that greater men had
lived in England than
any of her writers; and, in fact, about the time when those writers
appeared, the last of these were already gone.
ET17 5.295 3 [The Edinburgh Review] had...changed the
tone of its literary
criticism from the time when a certain letter was written to the editor
by
Coleridge.
ET17 5.298 4 ...let us say of [Wordsworth] that, alone
in his time, he
treated the human mind well...
ET18 5.301 27 In Magna Charta it was ordained that all
merchants shall
have safe and secure conduct...to buy and sell by the ancient allowed
customs, without any evil toll, except in time of war...
ET18 5.303 15 In the island [England]...there is...no
abandonment or
ecstasy of will or intellect, like that of the Arabs in the time of
Mahomet...
ET19 5.312 2 ...I think it just, in this time of gloom
and commercial
disaster...that...you should not fail to keep your literary
anniversary.
ET19 5.312 20 ...I was given to understand in my
childhood...that [Englishmen's] virtues did not come out until they
quarrelled; they did not
strike twelve the first time;...
ET19 5.313 22 I see [England] in her old age...still
daring to believe in her
power of endurance and expansion. Seeing this, I say, All hail! mother
of
nations, mother of heroes, with strength still equal to the time;...
F 6.4 21 If one would study his own time, it must be by
this method of
taking up in turn each of the leading topics which belong to our scheme
of
human life...
F 6.12 4 Now and then one has a new cell or camarilla
opened in his brain... which skill...serves to pass the time;...
F 6.13 4 ...There is in every man a certain feeling
that he has been what he
is from all eternity, and by no means became such in time.
F 6.21 16 God may consent, but only for a time, said
the bard of Spain.
F 6.30 23 ...when the boy grows to man...he pulls down

F 6.32 13 The cold will...make you foremost men of

F 6.34 4 ...time [steam] shall lengthen...
F 6.39 9 Dante and Columbus were Italians, in their
time;...
F 6.39 25 The same fitness must be presumed between a
man and the time
and event, as between the sexes...
F 6.44 24 ...the great man, that is, the man most
imbued with the spirit of
the time, is the impressionable man;...
F 6.46 23 ...year after year, we find two men, two
women, without legal or
carnal tie, spend a great part of their best time within a few feet of
each
other.
F 6.49 10 ...in geology, vast time but the same laws as
to-day.
Pow 6.64 3 ...all kinds of power usually emerge at the
same time;...
Pow 6.77 15 ...in human action, against the spasm of
energy we offset the
continuity of drill. We spread the same amount of force over much time,
instead of condensing it into a moment.
Wth 6.83 2 Who shall tell what did befall,/ Far away in

Wth 6.86 20 The steam puffs and expands as before, but

England.
Wth 6.104 15 An apple-tree, if you take out every day
for a number of days
a load of loam and put in a load of sand about its roots, will find it

pursued for a
short time I think it would begin to mistrust something.
Wth 6.112 16 Profligacy consists not in spending years

Boks 7.191 7 [Books] become the organic culture of the

oceans...
Boks 7.192 24 It seems...as if some charitable

LLNE 10.341 11 Some time afterwards Dr. Channing opened

LLNE 10.342 13 I think there prevailed at that time a

LLNE 10.360 22 [The projectors of Brook Farm] had the

LLNE 10.361 17 The young people [at Brook Farm] lived a

EzRy 10.383 13 [Ezra Ripley] was identified with the

EzRy 10.383 19 It was a pity that [Ezra Ripley's] old

have been modernized in his time.
EzRy 10.386 4 ...[Ezra Ripley] gave me anecdotes of the
nine church
members who had made a division in the church in the time of his

EzRy 10.386 22 Some of those around me will remember
one occasion of
severe drought in this vicinity, when the late Rev. Mr. Goodwin offered

the
Doctor...ejected his offer with some humor, as with an air that said to
all the
congregation, This is no time for you young Cambridge men; the affair,
sir, is getting serious. I will pray myself.
EzRy 10.389 8 [Ezra Ripley's] partiality for

EzRy 10.389 21 At the time when Jack Downing's letters

that
gentleman's intimacy with General Jackson, in a manner which betrayed
to
me at once that he took the whole for fact.
EzRy 10.392 10 We remember the remark of a gentleman
who listened
with much delight to [Ezra Ripley's] conversation at the time when the
Doctor was perparing to go to Baltimore and Washington, that a man who
could tell a story so well was company for kings and John Quincy Adams.
EzRy 10.393 24 Was a man a sot...or too long time a
bachelor...the good
pastor [Ezra Ripley] knew his way straight to that point...
MMEm 10.399 12 ...[Mary Moody Emerson's life]...marks
the precise time
when the power of the old creed yielded to the influence of modern
science
and humanity.
MMEm 10.399 17 I have found that I could only bring you
this portrait [of
Mary Moody Emerson] by selections from the diary of my heroine,
premising a sketch of her time and place.
MMEm 10.402 4 [Mary Moody Emerson's] good will to serve
in time of
sickness or of pressure was known to [her brothers and sisters]...
MMEm 10.405 7 [Mary Moody Emerson] had many
acquaintances among
the notables of the time;...
MMEm 10.410 5 When Mrs. Thoreau called on [Mary Moody
Emerson] one day, wearing pink ribbons, she shut her eyes, and so
conversed with her
for a time.
MMEm 10.418 6 Happy beginning of my [Mary Moody
Emerson's] bargain, though the sale of the place [Elm Vale] appears to
me one of the
worst things for me at this time.
MMEm 10.429 19 O dear worms,-how they will at some sure
time take
down this tedious tabernacle...
MMEm 10.432 24 Cassandra uttered, to a frivolous,
skeptical time, the
arcana of the Gods...
SlHr 10.437 20 At the time when [Samuel Hoar] went to
South Carolina... he was repeatedly warned that it was not safe for him
to appear in public...
SlHr 10.438 20 ...when the mob of Charleston was
assembled in the streets
before his hotel...[Samuel Hoar] considered his duty discharged to the
last
point of possibility. The force was apparent and irresistible;...it was
now
time for the military officer to be sent;...
SlHr 10.443 8 I am sorry to say [Samuel Hoar] could not
be elected to
Congress a second time from Middlesex.
SlHr 10.447 6 In the time of the Sunday laws [Samuel
Hoar] was a tithing-man;...
Thor 10.451 17 [Thoreau's] father was a manufacturer of
lead-pencils, and
Henry applied himself for a time to this craft...
Thor 10.452 10 At this time, a strong, healthy youth,
fresh from college, whilst all his companions were choosing their
profession...it was inevitable
that [Thoreau's] thoughts should be exercised on the same question...
Thor 10.453 10 ...[Thoreau] was very competent to live
in any part of the
world. It would cost him less time to supply his wants than another.
Thor 10.462 17 When I was planting forest trees, and
had procured half a
peck of acorns, [Thoreau]...proceeded to...select the sound ones. But
finding this took time, he said, I think if you put them all into water
the
good ones will sink;...
Thor 10.463 3 ...setting, like all highly organized
men, a high value on his
time, [Thoreau] seemed the only man of leisure in town...
Thor 10.464 4 At Mount Washington...Thoreau had a bad
fall, and sprained
his foot. As he was in the act of getting up from his fall, he saw for
the first
time the leaves of the Arnica mollis.
Thor 10.470 12 [Thoreau] thought that, if waked up from
a trance, in this
swamp, he could tell by the plants what time of the year it was within
two
days.
Thor 10.476 19 [Thoreau's] riddles were worth the
reading, and I confide
that if at any time I do not understand the expression, it is yet just.
Carl 10.489 14 If you would know precisely how
[Carlyle] talks, just
suppose Hugh Whelan (the gardener) had found leisure enough in addition
to all his daily work to read Plato and Shakspeare, Augustine and
Calvin, remaining Hugh Whelan all the time, should talk scornfully of
all this
nonsense of books...
Carl 10.490 3 [Carlyle] talks like a very unhappy
man...biding his time, meditating how to undermine and explode the
whole world of nonsense
which torments him.
Carl 10.497 9 [Carlyle] was very serious about the bad
times; he had seen
this evil coming, but thought it would not come in his time.
Carl 10.497 18 Carlyle has, best of all men in England,
kept the manly
attitude of his time.
GSt 10.501 18 Known until that time in no very wide
circle as a man of
skill and perseverance in his business;...[George Stearns's] extreme
interest
in the national politics...engaged him to scan the fortunes of freedom
with
keener attention.
GSt 10.503 15 [George Stearns] passed his time in
incessant consultation
with all men whom he could reach...
GSt 10.503 20 ...there are few men with real or
supposed influence, North
or South, with whom [George Stearns] has not at some time communicated.
LS 11.3 16 In the Catholic Church, infants were at one
time permitted and
then forbidden to partake [of the Lord's Supper]...
LS 11.3 20 ...the questions [concerning the Lord's
Supper] have been
settled differently in every church, who should be admitted to the
feast, and
how often it should be prepared. ... So, as to the time of the
solemnity.
LS 11.6 15 I have only brought these accounts [of the
Last Supper] together, that you may judge whether it is likely that a
solemn institution, to
be continued to the end of time by all mankind...would have been
established in this slight manner...
LS 11.15 3 ...[St. Paul's] mind had not escaped the
prevalent error of the
primitive Church, the belief, namely, that the second coming of Christ
would shortly occur, until which time, he tells them, this feast [the
Lord's
Supper] was to be kept.
LS 11.15 5 Elsewhere [St. Paul] tells [the primitive
Church] that at that
time [the second coming of Christ], the world would be burnt up with
fire...
LS 11.16 27 You say, every time you celebrate the rite
[the Lord's Supper], that Jesus enjoined it;...
LS 11.22 8 In the midst of considerations as to what
Paul thought, and why
he so thought, I cannot help feeling that it is time misspent to argue
to or
from his convictions, or those of Luke and John, respecting any form.
LS 11.25 5 ...I am consoled by the hope that no time
and no change can
deprive me of the satisfaction of pursuing and exercising [the pastoral
office's] highest functions.
HDC 11.29 10 Our ears shall not be deaf to the voice of
time.
HDC 11.33 15 ...in time of summer, the sun casts such a
reflecting heat
from the sweet fern, whose scent is very strong, that some [pilgrims]
nearly
fainted.
HDC 11.33 19 Much time was lost in travelling [the
pilgrims] knew not
whither, when the sun was hidden by clouds;...
HDC 11.39 9 Many [of the settlers of Concord] were
forced to go barefoot
and bareleg, and some in time of frost and snow...
HDC 11.40 22 ...as we are informed, the edge of [the
settlers of Concord's] appetite was greater to spiritual duties at
their first coming, in time of
wants, than afterwards.
HDC 11.43 26 The nature of man and his condition in the
world, for the
first time within the period of certain history, controlled the
formation of
the State [in Massachusetts].
HDC 11.45 11 [The settlers of Concord] bore to John
Winthrop, the
Governor, a grave but hearty kindness. For the first time, men examined
the
powers of the chief whom they loved and revered.
HDC 11.45 13 [The settlers of Concord] bore to John
Winthrop, the
Governor, a grave but hearty kindness. For the first time, men examined
the
powers of the chief whom they loved and revered. For the first time,
the
ideal social compact was real.
HDC 11.45 19 [The settlers] were to settle the internal
constitution of the
towns, and, at the same time, their power in the commonwealth.
HDC 11.46 13 ...Concord and the other plantations found
themselves
separate and independent of Boston, with certain rights of their own,
which, what they were, time alone could fully determine;...
HDC 11.46 15 ...Concord and the other plantations found
themselves
separate and independent of Boston...enjoying, at the same time, a
strict and
loving fellowship with Boston...
HDC 11.50 19 The interest of the Puritans in the
natives was heightened by
a suspicion at that time prevailing that these were the lost ten tribes
of Israel.
HDC 11.52 12 Tahattawan, our Concord sachem, called his
Indians
together, and bid them not oppose the courses which the English were
taking for their good; for, said he, all the time you have lived after
the
Indian fashion, under the power of the higher sachems, what did they
care
for you?
HDC 11.64 6 Some interesting peculiarities in the
manners and customs of
the time appear in the town's [Concord's] books.
HDC 11.65 11 ...in 1712, the selectmen agreed with
Captain James Minott, for his son Timothy to keep the school at the
school-house for the town of
Concord, for half a year beginning 2d June; and if any scholar shall
come, within the said time, for larning exceeding his son's ability,
the said
Captain doth agree to instruct them himself in the tongues, till the
above
said time be fulfilled;...
HDC 11.65 14 ...in 1712, the selectmen agreed with

come, within the said time, for larning exceeding his son's ability,
the said
Captain doth agree to instruct them himself in the tongues, till the
above
said time be fulfilled;...
HDC 11.67 2 ...Mr. [Daniel] Bliss replied, In the
prayer you speak of, Jesus
Christ was acknowledged as the only Mediator between God and man; at
which time, I was filled with wonder, that such a sinful and worthless
worm
as I am, was allowed to represent Christ...
HDC 11.70 11 ...we think it our duty, at this critical
time of our public
affairs, to return our hearty thanks to the town of Boston...
HDC 11.73 1 In these peaceful fields [of Concord], for
the first time since a
hundred years, the drum and alarm-gun were heard...
HDC 11.76 16 We...confirm from living lips the sealed
records of time.
HDC 11.80 22 ......it was Voted [by Concord] that the
person who should
be chosen representative to the General Court should receive 6s. per
day, whilst in actual service, an account of which time he should bring
to the
town...
HDC 11.82 9 From that time [1788] to the present hour,
this town [Concord] has made a slow but constant progress in population
and wealth...
HDC 11.83 16 I hope that History [of Concord] will not
long remain
unknown. The author [Lemuel Shattuck]...has wisely enriched his pages
with the resolutions, addresses and instructions to its agents, which
from
time to time...the town has voted.
HDC 11.83 23 [The Concord Town Records] exhibit a
pleasing picture of a
community...where no man has much time for words, in his search after
things;...
HDC 11.84 13 If, at any time, in common with most of
our towns, [our
fathers] have carried this economy to the verge of a vice, it is to be
remembered that a town is, in many respects, a financial corporation.
LVB 11.94 14 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...
LVB 11.95 7 ...the steps of this crime [the relocation
of the Cherokees] follow each other...at such fatally quick time, that
the millions of virtuous
citizens...have no place to interpose...
EWI 11.102 5 From the earliest time, the negro has been
an article of
luxury to the commercial nations.
EWI 11.105 17 The man [West Indian slave] applied to
Mr. William
Sharpe, a charitable surgeon, who attended the diseases of the poor. In
process of time, he was healed.
EWI 11.106 26 Immemorial usage preserves the memory of
positive law, long after all traces of the occasion, reason, authority
and time of its
introduction are lost;...
EWI 11.112 16 ...the praedials [in the West Indies]
should owe three
fourths of the profits of their labor to their masters for six years,
and the
non-praedials for four years. The other fourth of the apprentice's time
was
to be his own...
EWI 11.113 16 The Ministers...proposed to give the
[West Indian] planters, as a compensation for so much of the slaves'
time as the act [of
emancipation] took from them, 20,000,000 pounds sterling...
EWI 11.117 14 It soon appeared in all the [West Indian]
islands that the
planters were disposed...to take from [the apprentices], under various
pretences, their fourth part of their time;...
EWI 11.128 2 ...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, in order to give members time,-Mr.
Wilberforce, Mr. Pitt, the Prime Minister, and other gentlemen, took
advantage of the postponement to retire into the country to read the
report.
EWI 11.132 22 The Congress...should set on foot the
strictest inquisition to
discover where such persons [freemen of Massachusetts], brought into
slavery by these local [Southern] laws at any time heretofore, may now
be.
EWI 11.136 11 Granville Sharpe filled the ear of the
judges with the sound
principles that had from time to time been affirmed by the legal
authorities...
EWI 11.141 17 In 1791, Mr. Wilberforce announced to the
House of
Commons, We have already gained one victory: we have obtained for these
poor creatures [West Indian negroes] the recognition of their human
nature, which for a time was most shamefully denied them.
EWI 11.145 6 ...in the great anthem which we call
history...after playing a
long time a very low and subdued accompaniment, [the black race]
perceive
the time arrived when they can strike in with effect...
EWI 11.145 8 ...in the great anthem which we call
history...[the black race] perceive the time arrived when they can

War 11.151 11 Looked at in this general and historical
way, many things
wear a very different face from that they show near by, and one at a
time...
War 11.158 4 Only in Elizabeth's time, out of the
European waters, piracy
was all but universal.
War 11.171 6 ...[peace] is to be accomplished by the
spontaneous teaching, of the cultivated soul, in its secret experience
and meditation,-that it is
now time that it should pass out of the state of beast into the state
of man;...
War 11.173 7 [Shakespeare's lords] are true heroes for
their time.
War 11.175 20 There is the highest fitness in the place
and time in which
this enterprise [Congress of Nations] is begun.
FSLC 11.180 5 There are men who are as sure indexes of
the equity of
legislation...as the barometer is of the weight of the air, and it is a
bad sign
when these are discontented, for though they snuff oppression and
dishonor
at a distance, it is because they are more impressionable: the whole
population will in a short time be as painfully affected.
FSLC 11.189 3 I thought that every time a man goes back
to his own
thoughts, these angels receive him, talk with him...
FSLC 11.202 18 Simply [Webster] was the one eminent
American of our
time, whom we could produce as a finished work of Nature.
FSLC 11.210 3 Is it not time to do something besides
ditching and
draining...
FSLN 11.228 19 I said I had never in my life up to this
time suffered from
the Slave Institution.
FSLN 11.242 10 The [American] universities are not, as
in Hobbes's time, the core of rebellion...
FSLN 11.243 15 Having...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 11.249 3 ...in the long time when [Charles
Sumner's] election was
pending, he refused to take a single step to secure it.
AKan 11.256 19 Do the Committee of Investigation say
that the outrages [in Kansas] have been overstated? ... Is it an
exaggeration, that...Mr. Jennison of Groton, Mr. Phillips of Berkshire,
have been murdered? That
Mr. Robinson of Fitchburg has been imprisoned? Rev. Mr. Nute of
Springfield seized, and up to this time we have no tidings of his fate?
AKan 11.262 6 California, a few years ago, by the
testimony of all people
at that time in the country, had the best government that ever existed.
AKan 11.263 18 When [the country] is lost it will be
time enough then for
any who are luckless enough to remain alive to gather up their clothes
and
depart to some land where freedom exists.
JBB 11.267 7 This commanding event [John Brown's raid]
which has
brought us together, eclipses all others which have occurred for a long
time
in our history...
TPar 11.287 12 [Theodore Parker] came at a time when,
to the irresistible
march of opinion, the forms still retained by the most advanced sects
showed loose and lifeless...
ACiv 11.307 5 ...the North will for a time have its
full share and more, in
place and counsel.
ACiv 11.309 5 Time, say the Indian Scriptures, drinketh
up the essence of
every great and noble action which ought to be performed, and which is
delayed in the execution.
ACiv 11.309 27 It is the maxim of natural philosophers
that the natural
forces wear out in time all obstacles, and take place...
ACiv 11.310 16 [Lincoln's proposal of gradual
abolition] marks the
happiest day in the political year. The American Executive ranges
itself for
the first time on the side of freedom.
ALin 11.329 23 ...perhaps, at this hour, when the
coffin which contains the
dust of the President [Lincoln] sets forward...on its way to his home
in
Illinois, we might well be silent, and suffer the awful voices of the
time to
thunder to us.
ALin 11.335 14 [Lincoln] is the true history of the
American people in his
time.
ALin 11.337 18 There is a serene Providence which rules
the fate of
nations, which makes little account of time, little of one generation
or race...
ALin 11.337 26 [Providence]...creates the man for the
time...
SMC 11.351 25 'T is certain that a plain stone like

SMC 11.353 8 Every Democrat who went South came back a
Republican, like the governors who, in Buchanan's time, went to Kansas,
and instantly

the

company
unfortunate in having fallen between two companies of quite another

SMC 11.362 12 One day [George Prescott] writes, I
expect to have a time

SMC 11.363 21 When, afterwards, five of [George
Prescott's] men were
prisoners in the Parish Prison in New Orleans, they set themselves to

SMC 11.364 21 At this time Captain Prescott was daily
threatened with

SMC 11.371 16 On the third of May, [the Thirty-second
Regiment] crossed
the Rapidan for the fifth time.
SMC 11.372 22 June fourth is marked in [George
Prescott's] diary as An
awful day;-two hundred men lost to the command; and not until the fifth

were able to send to the wagons and procure a change of clothes, for
the
first time in five weeks.
EdAd 11.390 15 A journal that would meet the real wants
of this time must

EdAd 11.391 5 The name of Swedenborg has in this very
time acquired

SHC 11.436 15 Why is the fable of the Wandering Jew
agreeable to men, but because they want more time and land to execute

Scot 11.465 6 [Scott] apprehended in advance the
immense enlargement of
the reading public...which, though until then unheard of, has become
familiar to the present time.
Scot 11.465 19 By nature, by his reading and taste an
aristocrat, in a time

FRO2 11.486 20 ...St. Augustine writes: That which is
now called the
Christian religion...never did not exist from the planting of the human
race
until Christ came in the flesh, at which time the true religion which
already
existed began to be called Christianity.
FRO2 11.486 26 ...a man of religious susceptibility,

Christianity

PLT 12.27 9 A man has been in Spain. The facts and

sufficient time

PLT 12.58 3 [People] entertain us for a time...

attention, it is easily extracted.
