Frothingham's "Siege," 126, and Sabine's "Loyalists," 707. Reports vary from eighty to three hundred feet. Dearborn's account of the battle, Historical Magazine for 1864. Bancroft, v, 612. Ross's "Life of Cornwallis," quoted in Fonblanque's "Burgoyne," 159. The picturesqueness of this scene has been remarked by many writers. The best contemporary description is, of course, Burgoyne's.

"Memorial History of Boston," iii, 77. Curwen's "Journal," 25. Current newspapers, quoted in Frothingham's "Siege," 114. "There was hardly a leading man among the rebels, in council, or in the field, but at a proper time, and by proper management, might have been bought." BURGOYNE to Lord Rochfort, June, 1775. Fonblanque's "Burgoyne," 149-150. Frothingham's "Siege," 101.

You have a spirit, Asenath, that it pleases me to recognise. But we waste time. Mr. Fonblanque's estate reverts, as you doubtless imagine, to the Church; but some part of it has been reserved for him who is to marry the family; and that person, I should perhaps tell you without more delay, is no other than myself.

I think that at this period, as a necessary introduction to the succeeding studies, some works on Equity Jurisprudence should be taken in hand; as the Treatise on Equity of which Henry Ballow is the reputed author. It is the text of Fonblanque's Equity. It had better be read by itself. Disquisitional notes of great length only confuse and confound the student; and Mr.

From one, which appeared in 1837, reviewing Albany Fonblanque's "England under Seven Administrations," and speaking generally in high terms of the politics of "The Examiner," we may extract a few sentences which define very clearly the political ground taken by Mr. Mill, Mr. Fonblanque, and those who had then come to be called Philosophical Radicals.

Washington, perhaps not aware of the strength of his own position, declared himself "unable, upon any principle whatever," to account for Howe's inaction. He suspected it might be intended to lull him into a false sense of security, but resolved to be more vigilant than ever. Fonblanque's "Burgoyne," 197-198. Leach's "Journal." William T. Miller, of Newport, R.I., to his wife Lydia. Mass.

About a hundred of the Peers, in angry sullen mood, shook off the dust of Westminster, and, in Lord John's words, 'skulked in clubs and country houses. Sindbad, to borrow Albany Fonblanque's vigorous simile, was getting rid of the old man of the sea, not permanently, alas! but at least for the occasion.

Commissioner Fonblanque's court, that that worthy legal luminary, on discharging him for the fifth time, said to him, with a very significant shake of the head, 'You'd better not come here again, sir. Seedeybuck, being of the same opinion, had since fastened himself on to Sir Harry Scattercash, who found him in meat, drink, washing, and lodging.

Marvin has well said that Fonblanque's Equity "finally expired under the weight of its own notes." To this add Jeremy's Treatise on Equity, and Story's Commentaries on Equity Jurisprudence. It is to be lamented that Mr. Coventry did not prepare an original work, instead of overwhelming the text of Powell with his learned and valuable labors.

Loud exclamations, and the sound of the click of balls, proceeded from the large archway, on which a cafe opened. In the midst of the yard stood our horses, which, with their heavily padded and high cantelled Turkish saddles, somewhat a la Wouvermans, were held by Fonblanque's robust Pandour in his crimson jacket and white fustanella.
