עמוד xv - Oh! while along the stream of Time thy name Expanded flies, and gathers all its fame, Say, shall my little bark attendant sail, Pursue the triumph, and partake the gale?
עמוד xi - ... pure and untainted, the ancient, inbred integrity, piety, good nature, and good humour of the people of England...
עמוד 156 - Yes, we arraign her! but she, The weary Titan ! with deaf Ears, and labour-dimm'd eyes, Regarding neither to right Nor left, goes passively by, Staggering on to her goal ; Bearing on shoulders immense, Atlantean, the load, Wellnigh not to be borne, Of the too vast orb of her fate.
עמוד 107 - I his war-horse. You know the sort of thing, — he has/ described it himself over and over again. Bismarck at his horse's head, the Crown Prince holding his stirrup, and the old King of Prussia hoisting Russell into the saddle.
עמוד 127 - Nothing can be clearer,' they answered. ' Your Times was telling you the other day, with the enlightenment it so often shows at present, that instead of being proud of Waterloo and the great war which was closed by it, it really seemed as if you ought rather to feel embarrassed at the recollection of them, since the policy for which they were fought is grown obsolete ; the world has taken a turn which was not Lord Castlereagh's, and to look back on the great Tory war is to look back upon an endless...

What is the modern problem ? to make human life, the life of society, all through, more natural and rational ; to have the greatest...
עמוד 68 - Macaulayese,' says the pedant, ' because it has the same internal and external characteristics as Macaulay's style; the external characteristic being a hard metallic movement with nothing of the soft play of life, and the internal characteristic being a perpetual semblance of hitting the right nail on the head without .the reality.
עמוד 46 - Yes/ says Arminius, with a smile, 'one of your educated and intelligent classes, I suppose. And I dare say the other two are to match. Your magistrates are a sort of judges, I know; just the people who are drawn from the educated and intelligent classes. Now, what's sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander; if you put a pressure on one class to make it train itself properly, you must put a pressure on others to the 3° same end.
עמוד 123 - And, in general, the faults \ with which foreigners reproach us in the matters named, — rash engagement, intemperate threatening, undignif1ed retreat, ill-timed cordiality, — are not the faults of an aristocracy, by nature in such concerns prudent, reticent, dignified, sensitive on the point of honour ; they are rather the faults of a rich middle class, — testy, absolute, ill-acquainted with foreign matters, a little ignoble, very dull to perceive when it is making itself ridiculous.
