As I surveyed this vast acreage, evidencing the highest cultivation, with princely homes, vast systems of irrigation, with orange orchards and lemon groves in, every stage of development, from the plants in the seed beds to trees of maturity and full production, I congratulated myself on living in such an age, and amid such environments.
The further we drove in our inspection-tour, the more sensibly I realized how the city had grown since I had seen it last; changes in detail became steadily more apparent and frequent than at first, too: changes uniformly evidencing progress, energy, prosperity.

Carlyle's own letters have plenty of merit and attraction some of the descriptive ones especially: and they demonstrate, in the infallible way which letters and letters alone can supply in the absence of long personal familiarity, that the general tone and key of his writings was no falsetto but a perfectly genuine thing that the often urged contrast of the Life of Schiller, instead of evidencing affectation in the later work, only proves constraint in the earlier.

The Spaniards were defeated by the superiority of the American sea-power.
This is the declared sentiment of Old and New Light Covenants, together with the Safety League people evidencing to all who are free from party influence, that however they differ in practice, on this all important point they perfectly harmonize in principle.
I question if in the so-called centres of civilization the following incident can be surpassed as evidencing this aspect of their character. In a little Labrador village called Deep Water Creek I was called in one day to see a patient: an old Englishman, who was reported to have had "a bad place this twelvemonth." As I was taken into the tiny cottage, a bright-faced, black-bearded man greeted me.

"I like the idea exceedingly," said Peter. "But my right arm is so very pleasantly placed that it objects to moving." "Don't move it. I know where they are. I even know about the matches."
