He said, in the midst of his afflictions it was some comfort to him that he had no children who might be exposed by his death to the wide world, not only in a helpless and desolate condition, but also liable to the reflections incident from his crimes.
"Do anything but commit their crimes," she answered. "Promise me you will never do that! Let us begin, and be the friends I wished we might be, before I ever heard you speak. What is your name?" "Levin Levin Dennis. My father's lost to me, and mother, too." "Then Heaven has answered my many prayers, Levin, to give me something to cherish and protect.
He was the same one we noticed glaring at Clif; he had recognized him, and realized in a flash that the issue between them was death death for one or else death for the other.

The soldiers went forthwith to execute the order, but more humane than their master, returned with the excuse that the Holy Sacrament of the Viaticum had that moment been carried into the house.

By these reports, carefully collated with the evidence, I have been enabled to lay before you some of the effects, in one province and part of another, of Governor Hastings's general system of bribery.

The emperor of China is curious to read Cicero's book, the interpreters translate it; he admires the book and the Roman Republic. Ordinarily there is no comparison between the crimes of the great who are always ambitious, and the crimes of the people who always want, and can want only liberty and equality.

His deeds, which are not disputed, and his written words, illustrate his nature more fully than could be done by the most eloquent pen. No attempt has been made to exaggerate his crimes, or to extenuate his superior qualities.
