There was every prospect of their both obtaining the highest honours which the schools award: they both were good scholars, and clever men; they had read regularly, and had had the advantage of able lectures. The side of the hill forms a large, sweeping hollow or theatre just on one side of the village of Horsley.
When I first came into Surrey, the old Lord Lovelace the man who married Byron's daughter, and who built Horsley Towers was still alive and could be seen, as I saw him, driving about our Surrey lanes in a pony-chaise. Oddly enough, I have another link with the Cromwellian Wars.
Say, ain't she lucky? Now, when Crombie took me the heavens was just pouring. Everybody said 'Tears' prompt enough, and with reason. That's what they said. But me and Crombie has never shed a tear; no, not one. We've just laffed our way clear through to this day, we have. Well, I won't say Crombie does a heap of laffing, but you'll take my meaning." And Carrie Horsley took it.
"You will be a sergeant three months after you come back," Major Horsley said; "and your having been on this Nile expedition, and your conduct at El-Teb, will help you on when the time comes, and I hope you will be one of us before many years are over."
Abraham Cowley's Death and Burial. A Speech against Peace at the Close Committee. To the Five Members of the honourable House of Commons: The humble Petition of the Poets. A Western Wonder. A Second Western Wonder. News from Colchester; or, a proper new Ballad, of certain carnal Passages betwixt a Quaker and a Colt, at Horsley in Essex. A Song. On Mr. John Fletcher's Works.
The man promptly threw aside all further mask. "For God's sake don't sigh like that! You'll be sniveling directly. One would think I was doin' you an injury asking you a simple question." "It's not that, Will. I'm thinking of what's going to happen when that's gone. It's got to last us a month. Then I get my money from Carrie Horsley and Mrs. Crombie.
A crystallization of ideas about the true function of the thyroid was now inevitable. In 1884, Sir Victor Horsley produced an experimental myxedema by removal of the thyroid in monkeys, resembling closely in its symptom-picture the disease as it occurs in human beings.
Queen Caroline, George II.'s wife, in the hope of proving to Bishop Horsley how fully she appreciated the value of the work I have just mentioned, told him that she had it constantly beside her at her breakfast-table, to read a page or two in it whenever she had an idle moment. The Bishop's reply was scarcely intended for a compliment.
But the comparison scarcely does justice either to Horsley or Priestley. Horsley's strictures are as keen and caustic as Bentley's; but there is a dignity and composure about him which, while adding to rather than detracting from the pungency of his writings, prevent him from forgetting his position and condescending to offensive invectives.
The remains of the station at Procolitia are by no means to be compared with those at Borcovicus or Cilurnum; very few of its stones are yet remaining. The well was the most interesting find at Procolitia. It was known to be there, for Horsley had mentioned it; but the waters which supplied it were diverted in consequence of some lead-mining operations.
