The various Indian names are spelt in a dozen different ways. Reise, etc. The Minorcans were the most numerous and prosperous; then came the Spaniards, with a few creoles, English, and Germans. J. D. F. Smyth, "Tour in the United States" , London, 1784, II., 35. Do. "Mémoire ou Coup-d'Oeil Rapide sur mes différentes voyages et mon séjour dans la nation Creck, par Le Gal.
New scenes, owing, perhaps, part of their charm to that circumstance, may occasionally betray us into exaggeration; but the records of a last coup-d'oeil, when we dwell with sad complacency upon every feature, as upon those of a friend from whom we are about to part, are characterised at once by an equal freshness, and by more truth, feeling, and discrimination.
Before new and regular buildings were constructed on this island, which was enclosed like a Dutch galley in the middle of the river, the curious mass of houses, piled one on the other, presented a delightfully confused coup-d'oeil. The small area of the island had compelled some of the buildings to be perched, as it were, on the piles, which were entangled in the rough currents of the river.
§ 910. «Le premier objet de mon étude fut le Mont Blanc. Il se présente ici de la maniere la plus brillante et la plus commode pour l'observateur. On l'embrasse d'un seul coup-d'oeil, depuis sa base jusqu'
He had seen every thing as he passed, and was surprised at all he saw; but evinced not the slightest symptom of astonishment. He was now ushered into a spacious, well-lighted apartment: he entered with the easy, unembarrassed air of a man who was perfectly accustomed to such a home. His quick coup-d'oeil took in the whole at a single glance.
It was then perfection. We had galloped to some purpose; for we had distanced the monarch and his eight carriages. The royal party had not yet entered the house; and I enjoyed, for a few minutes, one of the most striking displays that the opulence and animation of a great country can possibly produce the coup-d'oeil of a well-dressed audience in a fine and spacious theatre.
«On voit avec peine que cette large vallée soit aussi peu cultivée; elle est presque partout couverte, ou de marais, ou de débris des montagnes voisines. Avant de quitter cette vallée, je jetterai un coup-d'oeil général sur la singulière suite de rochers qui composent la chaîne que nous venons d'observer.
So the major and tall Miss Magnolia, with all her roses and lilies, and bold broad talk, and her wicked eyes, went down the stairs; and O'Flaherty, looking with lively emotion in the glass, at the unbecoming coup-d'oeil, heard that agreeable young lady laughing most riotously under the windows as she and the major marched away.
Each side is 408 feet, and although there is a degree of uniformity, taken en masse, preserved, with two of the façades particularly, yet on examination the ornaments are found to be different, each side requires much close study after a coup-d'oeil has been taken of the whole, and the more it is inspected, the more beautiful will it be found; the statues and different devices are by five different sculptors, the most celebrated of their day, the order of the pillars is generally corinthian, but there are some, which are composite.
At the first coup-d'oeil, the French ladies did not strike him as handsome; they looked, as he said, like dolls, all eyes and rouge; and rouge, as he thought, very unbecomingly put on, in one frightful red patch or plaster, high upon the cheek, without any pretence to the imitation of natural colour.
