"Most of the really great lessons I have learned have been taught me by the Poor," was one of her favourite statements.

The crimes by which the chiefs obtain the condemnation and disposal of their subjects, are nearly all imaginary; for few exist which, under their laws, are considered as acts of turpitude.
In this respect he resembled Lepsius, with whom he had other traits in common-first, a keen sense of order in the collection and arrangement of the abundant store of scientific material at his disposal; and, secondly, the circumstance that Alexander von Humboldt had smoothed the beginning of the career of investigation for both.
In consequence of the delay of the operations, only one division of 7000 men was effectively at the disposal of the general when he took the road from Santarem.
