Johnson wrote a long letter to Mrs. Thrale. I wondered to see him write so much so easily. He verified his own doctrine that 'a man may always write when he will set himself doggedly to it . We got a fresh chaise here, a very good one, and very good horses. We breakfasted at Cullen. They set down dried haddocks broiled, along with our tea. I ate one; but Dr.
I was one of a party at a dinner, where the philosophical haddocks were placed in competition with the genuine Finnon-fish. These were served round without distinction whence they came; but only one gentleman, out of twelve present, espoused the cause of philosophy. It is the custom in Scotland for the judges of the Court of Session to have the title of lords, from their estates; thus Mr.
There is a good harbour for ships and boats a supply of wood and of fresh water in summer and winter great quantities of fish, particularly haddocks also some whales, but few seals, so that the Esquimaux are obliged to go to various places at a considerable distance for this valuable animal, whose skins are among their absolute necessaries for their tents and clothing.
Why, he's just the oont-wallah, of course. Who'd graze the camel or load it up if there wasn't one?" At tea in the nursery the young lady suddenly remarked: "I like you, Boy. You're worth nine Haddocks." This cryptic valuation puzzled Damocles the more in that he had never seen or heard of a haddock.

Morton and their host took their time in discussing a far more substantial breakfast, consisting of salted and dried haddocks, pickled pork, oaten cakes, and other substantial articles of food, sufficient to astonish a southern stomach.
We got a fresh chaise here, a very good one, and very good horses. We breakfasted at Cullen. They set down dried haddocks broiled, along with our tea.

"And he saved the rope," I said. Ike nodded. "You sit down till I come back, my lad," he said; and then he went off, to return in a few minutes to face me at a table where we were regaled with steaming coffee and grilled haddocks. "This is the best part of the coming to market, my lad," he said, "only it's a mistake." "What is?" I asked. "Haddocks, my lad.
On the coasts about Scarborough, where the haddocks, cods, and dog-fish, are in great abundance, the fishermen universally believe that the dog-fish make a line, or semicircle, to encompass a shoal of haddocks and cod, confining them within certain limits near the shore, and eating them as occasion requires.
This mode of granulation, though tedious, is the only one to be used for so small a quantity, for the sake of experiment. In a large way, gunpowder is granulated by passing the composition through sieves. HADDOCKS. These fish may be had the greater part of the year, but are most in season during the first three months.
