who writes his
first leader assumes that we subdued the earth before we sat down to
write
this particular [London] Times.

themselves; as...I doubt not, many a young barrister in chambers in

times, absorbs into his
sphere all the light which is any where radiating.

sues Philip Rogers...for thirty-five shillings, ten pence, for corn
delivered to
him at different times;...

majority of men at all times...

war] is a training for the finest and softest arts, and can rarely be
compensated in tranquil times...

Ctr 6.144 27 Balls, riding, wine-parties and billiards

talent or knack, and a
million times better than any talent, is the central intelligence...
Suc 7.305 10 ...if [Sylvina] says [Odoacer] was
defeated, why he had better

said, Let me be
defeated a thousand times.
PI 8.19 13 ...poetry, or the imagination which dictates
it, is a second sight, looking through [things], and using them as
types or words for thoughts
which they signify. Or is this belief a metaphysical whim of modern
times...

SA 8.104 6 If [a people is] occupied in its own affairs
and thoughts and
men, with a heat which excludes almost the notice of any other
people,--as... the French, the English, at their best times have
been,--they are sublime;...

affects men so.

them
last. Not so, as I told you, was it in Belleisle.
Clbs 7.230 14 ...a natural fact has only half its value
until a fact in moral
nature, its counterpart, is stated. Then they confirm and adorn each

already told, in
the last generation of Sheridan;...
