I approved of General Smith's promotion highly, as I did all the promotions that were made. My opinion was and still is that immediately after the fall of Fort Donelson the way was opened to the National forces all over the South-west without much resistance.
These decisive steps were followed by the great act with which American history begins, the adoption on the 4th of July 1776 by the delegates in Congress after a fierce resistance from those of Pennsylvania and South Carolina, and in spite of the abstention of those of New York, of a Declaration of Independence.
Do you forget what you, as a people, owe to lawful resistance? and are you willing to abandon the law and rights of society to the mercy of the allied despots, who have united to crush them everywhere? Neutrality?
But another surprise awaited him. When a young lady was caught a certain degree of resistance, purely for form's sake, was expected, but usually the young lady would feel aggrieved, or would laugh at the young man were the resistance taken seriously. When Dic caught Rita there was one case, at least, where the resistance was frantically real.
Left alone with her mother, Louisa saw her lying with an awful lull upon her face, like one who was floating away upon some great water, all resistance over, content to be carried down the stream. She put the shadow of a hand to her lips again, and recalled her. 'You were going to speak to me, mother. 'Eh? Yes, to be sure, my dear.
A full tone is worse than useless, unless the quality is musical and this can never be accomplished until the vocal instrument is free from resistance. Exercise No. 3 should be transposed upward by half steps, but never beyond the point at which it can be practiced comfortably.

He refused to acknowledge the right of the Government "to carry such a Revolution by such means," and as they appeared to be resolved to do so, Mr.
And therewith he raised a little tucket to his mouth and wound a rousing call. Then followed a moment of confusion; for while Dick, fearing for the ladies, still hesitated to give the word to shoot, Hatch's little band sprang to their weapons and formed back to back as for a fierce resistance.
But none, I am sure, surprised them more than the discovery of the lever; by its use one man could exert the strength of a hundred men. They soon observed that levers could be used in three different ways. Now in the first order, one end of the lever is applied to the point of resistance, which in the case just mentioned was the lid of the box.
Tone placed in this way means the ring of the forward high placing and the added resonance of the inflated cavities and especially of the chest. In singing, as we have learned, there are two forces constantly in action, pressure and resistance, or motor power and control. These two forces must prevail, and in order to produce the voice artistically, they must be balanced.
