Warburton he knew, as I know him, and as every man of sense and virtue would wish to be known, I mean, both from his own writings, and from the writings of those who dissented from his principles, or who envied his reputation.
There were no conveniences for the operation at the wreck; and this was one reason why Roswell suggested that a residence there ought to be abandoned. Daggett dissented, and invited his companion to take a walk in his caverns. A promenade in a succession of caves formed of ice, with the thermometer at zero, would naturally strike one as a somewhat chilling amusement. Gardiner did not find it so.
The Little Red Doctor sat on the far end of my bench. Snow fringed the bristling curve of his mustache. He shivered. "Dominie," said he, "it's a wild day." I assented. "Dominie," said the Little Red Doctor, "it is no kind of a day for an old man to be sitting on a bench." I dissented. "Dominie," persisted the Little Red Doctor, "you can't deny that you're old." "Whose fault is that but yours?"
Judge Sherwood, though he had dissented from his colleague's view, and though he plainly testified by his persisting in sitting and holding Court that he still continued to dissent, had not given any formal judgment, nor had he even verbally stated any grounds for his opinion.

What we have in our minds is not the object.
"Well, gentlemen, what do you think?" This question was quickly answered. They all agreed to answer "Guilty." The only one that dissented was an old laborer, whose answer to all questions was "Not guilty."
My friend, the author of this book, I think, generally found himself in full accord with him, while I often decidedly dissented. I felt it my duty to use my right of citizenship at the ballot-box in the cause of liberty, while Garrison, with equal sincerity, judged and counselled otherwise. Each acted under a sense of individual duty and responsibility, and our personal relations were undisturbed.
He took part in the famous Dred Scott case, in which he dissented from Taney, maintaining that slavery had its origin merely in power and was against right. Adlai Ewing Stevenson, Assistant Postmaster-General, later became Vice-President. His four sons all became prominent in law and theology.
But presented to him, brought within his experience, they shocked him to the point of disbelief. He found that from the thing which he was prepared to admit in the general, he dissented fiercely and instinctively in the particular. What, the woman he loved! Was he to believe her delivered, soul and body, to the power of Satan? Never!
