And yet despite all these marvels it was long ere we shook off the evil of that ghastly rock. Presently as we journeyed came a wind sweet and fresh from the sea, offsetting the sun's immoderate heat to our great comfort, so that, though ofttimes our way was toilsome, our spirits rose notwithstanding, and we laughed and talked unfeignedly as only good comrades may.
I am the more assured in recounting Hegel a little freely here, not only for offsetting the Carlylean letter and spirit-cutting it out all and several from the very roots, and below the roots but to counterpoise, since the late death and deserv'd apotheosis of Darwin, the tenets of the evolutionists.
Offsetting its advantages, the stream, little by little, has undermined the maze of roots and the force of annual freshets has trained them all in a down-stream direction. It is an inverted reminder of the wind-moulded spruce.
As we have intimated, offsetting the material civilization of our race, our nationality, its wealth, territories, factories, population, products, trade, and military and naval strength, and breathing breath of life into all these, and more, must be its moral civilization the formulation, expression, and aidancy whereof, is the very highest height of literature.
British and other allied ships were unable to inflict damage on the coast defenses of Germany, but the latter in two successful raids had been able to bombard British coast towns, offsetting in a way the loss of over-sea dominions.

Of course, but I believe in crowding my luck.
He was stiff and sore and a little nervous from the events of the past few days, and he found the stable, spacious though it was, depressing after his protracted life in the open. Yet there were many offsetting comforts. He had received a generous supply of grain and all the water he could drink. Then there was another comfort, though he awoke to this only after sinking to rest.
Show how the villain Protheus is instrumental in bringing these two women together, and how this is equivalent to uniting against his evil policy, the good forces of the Play. The loyalty of Silvia to Julia considered as offsetting the falsity of Protheus to Valentine. Is the most actively beneficial episode in this Act also the most charming. What are the results of Silvia's flight?
He even educates himself by his own mistakes; for every bad man elected, and every bad law passed, make him suffer the results, and he can only blame himself. Of course we don't get as good a government or laws, but then we have other offsetting advantages." "What are those?" "We get men and laws which are the wish of the majority. Such are almost self-supporting and self-administering.
