He humbly axes pardon, which is accorded him with a blunt nod. Mr. Tom is toasted. His parents, who selected that day sixty years ago, for his bow to be made to the world, are alluded to with encomiums, and float down to posterity on floods of liquid amber. But to see all the subtle merits that now begin to bud out from Mr.
I thought him a very considerate and kind person, fully justifying the encomiums lavished on him in Burton's `Lake Regions of Central Africa, and accordingly I treated him with the consideration due to so great and good a man.
Turgot, iv. 305. Bois-Guillebert appears to have been the principal precursor of the Physiocrats. Here, as elsewhere, it was the belief of Frenchmen of that age that the application of a few simple rules derived from natural laws would solve the difficulties of a complicated subject. The latter, who printed nothing, is chiefly known through the encomiums of Turgot.
Here Mrs Enderby and Isabel quitted the ship, and Newton received orders to proceed round to the river. Before the Windsor Castle had anchored, the newspapers were put into his hands containing a report of the two actions, and he had the gratification of acknowledging that his countrymen were not niggardly in the encomiums upon his meritorious conduct.
"I can't have my boy John married without seeing it done," she said, and throughout the ceremony she was muttering audible encomiums on her John's manly behaviour. The ring was affixed to Clare's finger; there was no ring lost in this common-sense marriage.
And now ye presume that ye are going to be permitted, tamquam re bene gesta, to praise such men! and with words which leave no one in any doubt as to whom ye have in your minds when ye utter your encomiums, which therefore "spring forth with such hearty warmth" that one must be blind not to see to whom ye are really bowing.
Robert Montgomery, with whom also he became acquainted, was the fashionable preacher and author whom Macaulay cudgelled so pitilessly in the Edinburgh Review. Burton's aunts, Sarah and Georgiana, who went with the crowd to his chapel, ranked the author of "Satan, a Poem," rather above Shakespeare, and probably few men have received higher encomiums or a greater number of wool-work slippers.
Congress lavished praise upon General Washington, but he replied, 'You pay me compliments as if the merit of the affair was due solely to me; but I assure you the other general officers who assisted me in the plan and execution have full as good a right to the encomiums as myself." "Possibly that was only just," remarked Rosie, "but it strikes me as very generous."
I, of course, felt highly flattered at the encomiums passed on me, and told him how glad I should be to accompany him for the future, but that I could not leave my parents without their permission. "Go and get it at once, then," said the general; "had I known where to find you, I should have sent for you before. You have shown that you are well able to take a part in our glorious struggle."
