He was the author of The Rule of Reason containing the Arte of Logique , and The Arte of Rhetorique , and made translations from Demosthenes. He endeavoured to maintain the purity of the language against the importation of foreign words. Poet, was employed in the coal-pits near Hamilton from the time he was 9. He pub.
They had, too, a number of children, and some of them were heavy burdens, and were likely to remain so. The eldest boy, Jack, had had a fancy for the sea, and he had gone away when quite a little chap with a captain who had taken a liking to him, and the vessel had never more been heard of. That was before they left their old home in the country and came to live at the coal-pits.
'Do men gather grapes of thorns? If these are really the things that you are seeking after, in all your mistaken search oh! how mistaken is the search! Do men look for pearls in cockle-shells, or for gold in coal-pits; and why should you look for rest of heart, mind, conscience, spirit, anywhere and in anything short of God? 'What seek ye? the only answer is, 'We seek Thee!
We went to the mouths of three coal-pits, and looked down into their grimy depths, but did not descend, as it would have occupied too much time.

He was the champion of the Wilson coal-pits, and the other was the Master of the iron-folk down at the Croxley smelters. We'd matched our man for a purse of a hundred against the Master.
They looked like the tunnels to coal-pits. They were inhabited by a race of French unknown to the boulevards men, bearded, deeply tanned, and caked with clay. Their uniforms were like those of football players on a rainy day at the end of the first half. We were entering what had been the village of Ablain, and before us rose the famous heights of Mont de Lorette.
In cases where there are not ice-houses, vegetation may be greatly retarded, and the roots preserved by storing them in deep vaulted cellars, caves, coal-pits, mines, or in any place seated deep in the earth.
It was no common enthusiast who could wring gold from the close-fisted Franklin and admiration from the fastidious Horace Walpole, or who could look down from the top of a green knoll at Kingswood on twenty thousand colliers, grimy from the Bristol coal-pits, and see as he preached the tears "making white channels down their blackened cheeks."
