Had I a son, I would bequeath him a plough; I should then leave him happier than my parents left me. Idleness has been my destruction; the want of something to do led me into all evil. A good wife perhaps might have saved me, mine, I thank her! tried not. Disengaged from me and my affairs, her own pleasures and amusements have occupied her solely.
They depicted the responsibility which he would incur should he entail on the kingdom the woes of a disputed succession; they assured him that he could not, without unpardonable guilt, reject the decision of the holy father of the Church; and growing more eager and excited, they denounced upon him the vengeance of Almighty God, if he did not bequeath the crown, now falling from his brow, to the Bourbons of France.
Circumstances have, however, materially altered for me during the last few weeks by the discovery that it is necessary that my affairs should be settled without delay. "I have, as you know, no child left to inherit, and as this place is not entailed, it is entirely in my hands to bequeath as I think fit.
And upon the Birth of her first Child, if she marries with her Mother's Consent, The Nest of a Humming Bird. Item, To my eldest Brother, as an acknowledgment for the Lands he has vested in my Son Charles, I bequeath My last Year's Collection of Grasshoppers.
His patriotism had always been great, great also his vanity.

All she had to bequeath to the two was the small savings, which would not nearly suffice for both purposes, especially considering that Miss Monro had given up her teaching, and that both she and Dixon were passing into years. Before Ellinor left England she had made every arrangement for the contingency of her death abroad that Mr. Johnson could suggest.
I bequeath my memory to the three young ladies to whom I am at present engaged begging them to deal charitably with what I leave to them; and if harsh thoughts ever rise in their hearts, to remember how beautiful they are, and how utterly impossible it was for their poor friend to resist yielding to that triple surpassing loveliness.
A remnant of feudal serfdom still deprived certain of the rural classes, subject to the tenement law, of the right to marry or bequeath what they possessed to their children without permission of their lord. If they left the land which made them liable to this tyranny, their heritage reverted of right to the proprietor of the fief.
The emperor directed the treasurers of the province of Carthage to pay over to the bishop of that district £18,000 sterling, and to honour his further drafts. Constantine also gave his subjects permission to bequeath their fortunes to the Church, and scattered public money among the bishops with a lavish hand.
He will have different aims and pursuits, which will diminish his appetite to ranging, and make such a regular life as the matrimonial and family life, palatable to him, and every day more palatable. And were we to suppose his estate in his power to bequeath as he pleases; why should a man resolve, for the gratifying of his foolish humour only, to bastardize his race?
