    Thor 10.470 2 On the day I speak of [Thoreau] looked for the Menyanthes...
    Thor 10.470 8 [Thoreau] drew out of his breast-pocket his diary, and read the names of all the plants that should bloom on this day...
    Thor 10.470 25 Presently [Thoreau] heard a note which he called that of the night-warbler...the only bird which sings indifferently by night and by day.
    Thor 10.471 2 [Thoreau] said, What you seek in vain for, half your life, one day you come full upon, all the family at dinner.
    Thor 10.479 27 ...[Thoreau] seemed haunted by a certain chronic assumption that the science of the day pretended completeness, and he had just found out that the savans had neglected to discriminate a particular botanical variety...
    GSt 10.506 27 ...when I consider...that [George Stearns] did not know an idle day;...I count him happy among men.
    HDC 11.29 2 Fellow Citizens: The town of Concord begins, this day, the third century of its history.
    HDC 11.29 7 ...the people of New England...as the second centennial anniversary of each of its early settlements arrived, have seen fit to observe the day.
    HDC 11.29 17 Who can tell how many thousand years, every day, the clouds have shaded these fields with their purple awning?
    HDC 11.30 22 ...the honor you have done me this day, in making me your organ, testifies your persevering kindness to [Bulkeley's] blood.
    HDC 11.32 8 ...on the 2d of September, 1635...two hundred years ago this day, leave to begin a plantation at Musketaquid was given to Peter Bulkeley, Simon Willard, and about twelve families more.
    HDC 11.37 1 Roger Williams affirms that he has known [Indians] run between eighty and a hundred miles in a summer's day...
    HDC 11.46 9 ...[John Winthrop] advised, seeing the freemen were grown so numerous, to send deputies from every town once in a year to revise the laws and to assess all monies. And the General Court, thus constituted, only needed to go into separate session from the Council, as they did in 1644, to become essentially the same assembly they are to this day.
    HDC 11.62 10 Alas! for [the Indians]-their day is o'er,/ Their fires are out from hill and shore,/ No more for them the wild deer bounds,/ The plough is on their hunting grounds;/...
    HDC 11.63 27 ...the [Concord] Town Records of that day [April 18, 1689] confine themselves to descriptions of lands...
    HDC 11.65 24 It is an article in the selectmen's warrant for the town-meeting, to see if the town [Concord] will lay in for a representative not exceeding four pounds. Captain Minott was chosen, and after the General Court was adjourned received of the town for his services, an allowance of three shillings per day.
    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 11.72 27 A large amount of military stores had been deposited in this town [Concord], by order of the Provincial Committee of Safety. It was to destroy those stores that the troops who were attacked in this town, on the 19th April, 1775, were sent hither by General Gage. The story of that day is well known.
    HDC 11.75 19 Those poor farmers who came up, that day [April 19, 1775], to defend their native soil, acted from the simplest instincts.
    HDC 11.76 4 Captain Charles Miles, who was wounded in the pursuit of the enemy [at Concord bridge] told my venerable friend who sits by me, that he went to the services of that day, with the same seriousness and acknowledgment of God, which he carried to church.
    HDC 11.76 8 The presence of these aged men who were in arms on that day [battle of Concord] seems to bring us nearer to it.
    HDC 11.77 8 On the second day after the affray [battle of Concord], divine service was attended, in this house, by 700 soldiers.
    HDC 11.80 20 ...our fathers must be forgiven by their charitable posterity, if, in 1782...it was Voted that the person who should be chosen representative to the General Court should receive 6s. per day...
    HDC 11.83 2 Concord has always been noted for its ministers. The living need no praise of mine. Yet it is among the sources of satisfaction and gratitude, this day, that the aged [Ezra Ripley] with whom is wisdom, our fathers' counsellor and friend, is spared to counsel and intercede for the sons.
    HDC 11.85 10 Fellow citizens [of Concord]; let not the solemn shadows of two hundred years, this day, fall over us in vain.
    LVB 11.91 24 ...the American President and the Cabinet, the Senate and the House of Representatives...are contracting...to drag [the Cherokees]...to a wilderness at a vast distance beyond the Mississippi. And a paper purporting to be an army order fixes a month from this day as the hour for this doleful removal.

    EWI 11.99 6 We are met to exchange congratulations on the anniversary of an event singular in the history of civilization;...a day which gave the immense fortification of a fact, of gross history, to ethical abstractions.
    EWI 11.102 7 From the earliest time, the negro has been an article of luxury to the commercial nations. So it had been, down to the day that has just dawned on the world.
    EWI 11.102 10 ...the secrets of slaughter-houses and infamous holes that cannot front the day, must be ransacked, to tell what negro slavery has been.

    EWI 11.115 20 The first of August [1834] came on Friday, and a release was proclaimed from all work [in the West Indies] until the next Monday. The day was chiefly spent by the great mass of the negroes in the churches and chapels.
    EWI 11.116 1 In every quarter [of Antigua], we were assured, the day [after emancipation] was like a Sabbath.
    EWI 11.116 19 Throughout the island [Antigua], [the day after emancipation] there was not a single dance known of, either day or night...
    EWI 11.117 10 ...the habit of oppression was not destroyed [in the West Indies] by a law and a day of jubilee.
    EWI 11.120 14 The First of August, 1838, was observed in Jamaica as a day of thanksgiving and prayer.
    EWI 11.125 23 Many planters have said, since the emancipation [in the West Indies], that, before that day, they were the greatest slaves on the estates.
    EWI 11.126 22 ...the [slave] trade could not be abolished whilst this hungry West Indian market...cried, More, more, bring me a hundred a day;...
    EWI 11.127 27 ...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...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 11.135 5 ...as an omen and assurance of success, I point to you the bright example which England set you [in emancipation in the West Indies], on this day, ten years ago.
    EWI 11.135 10 ...I do not wish to darken the hours of this day by crimination;...
    EWI 11.138 20 Up to this day we have allowed to statesmen a paramount social standing...
