"Don't be over-sanguine," says Uncle Jack, as he locks up the MS. in two red boxes with a slit in the lids, which belonged to one of the defunct companies. "Don't be over-sanguine as to the price. These publishers never venture much on a first experiment. They must be talked even into looking at the book."
The adultery, indeed, was sin; but years of ill-concealings have multiplied its punishment. Wretched father wretched children! that must bear an erring father's curse. Oh! that Jeanie Mackie may have reasons, proofs; and be not an impostor after all, dressing up a tale that over-sanguine Charles may bring her back again to Scotland. Well well!
The too credulous creditor and the over-sanguine speculator, alike learn by the difficulties which rashness entails on them, the necessity of being more cautious in their engagements. And so throughout the life of every citizen.

W. Cattle comes at his best self by Papist-baiting, or Newman Weeks and Deborah Butler at right reason by following their noses, this certainly does appear over-sanguine. It is true, what we want is to make right reason act on individual reason, the reason of individuals; all our search for authority has that for its end and aim.
Nelson, justly estimating the importance of Leghorn, and over-sanguine of the support he might hope from the inhabitants, projected a sudden assault upon the town, by troops to be drawn from the garrisons in Corsica, supported by seamen of the squadron.
I don't like to seem over-sanguine," Brightman went on, "but my impression is that he is rather up against it." "All I can say is that he is taking it very coolly, then!" "To all appearance, yes.
