The first shipment of English grown tea from India to London was made in 1838; it amounted to but 60 chests, which brought at auction in London $2.25 a pound. The second shipment in 1839 of ninety five chests brought $2.00 a pound.

On the contrary, it is a high-lying natural landscape garden, as the photographic illustrations show. "It is a common minor feature, like thousands of others." On the contrary it is a very uncommon feature; after Yosemite, the rarest and in many ways the most important in the National Park. "Damming and submerging it 175 feet deep would enhance its beauty by forming a crystal-clear lake."

"If he doesn't answer, I'll go up to Dublin to-night and drag it out of the young pup by force. It'll be a comfort anyhow to be dealing with somebody I can kick. These girls are the very devil." "No. 175 Trinity College is the address," I said. "J is the initial. If he's not in his rooms when you call just ask where the 3rd A. happens to be playing." "The what?"
The first of these gross faults was the fight at Worth, where MacMahon, before his army was mobilized, accepted battle with the Crown Prince, pitting 50,000 men against 175,000; the next was Bazaine's fixing upon Metz as his base, and stupidly putting himself in position to be driven back to it, when there was no possible obstacle to his joining forces with MacMahon at Chalons; while the third and greatest blunder of all was MacMahon's move to relieve Metz, trying to slip 140,000 men along the Belgian frontier.
In 1707, that is, in the space of five years, the returns, according to the report of a committee of the House of Lords, "show that since the beginning of the war England had lost 30 ships-of-war and 1146 merchant-ships, of which 300 were retaken; whereas we had taken from them, or destroyed, 80 ships-of-war, and 1346 merchantmen; 175 privateers also were taken."
