During the period of Karl Eugen's worst recklessness the decade beginning with 1755, he was loyally abetted by two men, Rieger and Montmartin, who made themselves thoroughly odious. Rieger was a man of talent and knowledge, but without heart and without conscience. It was he who managed the cruel and lawless conscriptions whereby Duke Karl raised the desired troops for France.
For now the sons of the Church's darlings, of the Crusaders whom the Pope had sent, beneath a gonfalon blessed by him, to destroy the liberties of England, turned, by a just retribution, upon that very Norman clergy who had abetted all their iniquities in the name of Rome.
Here, too, was perpetrated the most heinous crime that can be committed against a free people the conspiring of the Trusts abetted by the railroads, to arbitrarily raise the prices of the necessaries of life meat, coal, oil, ice, gas wholly without other justification than that of greed, which, with these men, was the unconquerable, all-absorbing passion.

To select the worst features of his Administration is no very easy task; but the calculating cruelty with which he abetted the extermination of the Rohillas his unjust and precipitate execution of Nuncomar, who had stood forth as his accuser, and, therefore, became his victim, his violent aggression upon the Raja of Benares, and that combination of public and private rapacity, which is exhibited in the details of his conduct to the royal family of Oude; these are acts, proved by the testimony of himself and his accomplices, from the disgrace of which no formal acquittal upon points of law can absolve him, and whose guilt the allowances of charity may extenuate, but never can remove.
Her hair was black and her colouring a natural pink and white, which she abetted expertly. Cora did not wear plain white tailored waists.

Opposite her, above the crowded mantelpiece and surmounted by a raffia wreath, the enlarged-crayon gaze of her deceased maternal grandparent, abetted by a horrible device of photography, followed her, his eyes focusing the entire room at a glance.
