But, in spite of this surveillance, her life was so largely in the world that it was a mystery when she did her voluminous work. Of winning temper and pleasing address, with this full equipment of knowledge and imagination, versatility and ambition, she was at an early period domesticated in the family of Mme. de Rambouillet as the friend and companion of Julie d'Angennes.
The body of this wave is still substantially of the same nature as it was at first; for though in each of these multitudinous experiences a special set of facial and vocal signs has been connected with a special set of pleasures or pains; yet since these pleasures or pains have been immensely varied in their kinds and combinations, and since the signs that preceded them were in no two cases quite alike, it results that even to the end the consciousness produced remains as vague as it is voluminous.
He joined the Baptists, and began preaching, for at length, after many tribulations, he says, "the burden fell from off his back." Here he wrote what Macaulay declares to be incomparably the finest allegory in the English language the Pilgrim's Progress. He was a voluminous author, having written some sixty tracts and books.

Southworth is it possible that anywhere else in the world there is a complete collection of that lady's voluminous productions? but beside them stood the Elizabethan dramatists and a translation of Dante.
In person, Mrs General, including her skirts which had much to do with it, was of a dignified and imposing appearance; ample, rustling, gravely voluminous; always upright behind the proprieties. She might have been taken had been taken to the top of the Alps and the bottom of Herculaneum, without disarranging a fold in her dress, or displacing a pin.
Cases holding voluminous records were ranged upon their walls; maps, charts, even paintings and drawings, as made by the arriving spirits hung upon the walls, and in broad albums were gathered the portraits, in small size, of the incarnated persons.
