Voluminous statistics showed that there were numerous reconvictions up to seventy times, and that the conclusions arrived at, by the magistrates, was that it would be better for the prisoners and better for society if the cumulative principles were carried out. Dr.

It is the misfortune of her impetuous nature that she rushes to conclusions and those conclusions once formed, she holds to them with all the strength of her character. In this matter, she has looked at her side of the question exclusively; she is blind to your side." "Not willfully!" Alban interposed. Miss Ladd looked at him with admiration. "You defend Emily?" she said.

"We statesmen," answered the consul, "are wont to study other men’s characters, as other men are wont to study books; and I have learned by practice to draw quick conclusions from small signs. But in this instance, the light in your eye, the curl of your expanded nostril, the half frown on your brow, and the flush on your cheek, told me beyond a doubt that you are a poet.
