42990 | The road to Cardigan? 42990 Trouble about the rent?" |
42990 | What, the old abbey? 42990 Your book? |

42990 | And what of Sloperton Cottage? |
42990 | And yet, what hardship is it to go out of one''s way in Britain? |
42990 | But after all, does it not savor even more of romance that mystery enshrouds the past of the stupendous structure whose scanty remnants encircle us? |
42990 | But before we go shall we ask the story of Corfe? |

14415 | As a finale, one of our passengers shouted to his friend who had come to see him off:"Do you want to buy a cow?" |
14415 | As in other similar places we had visited, the first question that suggested itself to us was,"How do the people live?" |
14415 | Bright visited it? |
14415 | But no sooner was this known, than a mob rushed towards the edifice, exclaiming:"Shall the idol be again erected in the land?" |
14415 | But was it a road? |
14415 | But what were we to do? |
14415 | Could this be the inn? |

14415 | If the saving of time is the object, why not reduce the length of the sermon, which might often be done to advantage? |

14415 | Is not this part of the"Lyonesse"of the poets-- the country of romance-- the land of the fairies? |
14415 | Is that so?" |
14415 | It was a solemn moment, for had we not started with the rising sun on a Monday morning and finished with the setting sun on a Saturday night? |
14415 | It would never do to leave it there, but what could they do to get it out? |

46223 | Why, are you mad? |
46223 | Why, what has happened? |

46223 | But is not the true unmixed friendship of a charming woman something very sweet? |
46223 | But was not this storm necessary for the dwellers on the deep? |
46223 | But what do I care about politics? |
46223 | But what do I hear? |
46223 | But what was the result? |
46223 | But where is my Judy? |
46223 | But wherefore do I urge this? |
46223 | Can I be blind at such repeated proofs of special interposition in my favour? |
46223 | Can anybody wonder that such institutions have frequently goaded the unhappy people to despair and rebellion? |
46223 | Can not I string common- places as well as another upon occasion? |
46223 | Canning was but a transient vision; and how are his successors employed? |
46223 | Confess it now,--you are a Jew, ar''n''t you?" |
46223 | Dearest Julia, will you drive with me to Plâs Newydd, Lord Anglesea''s park in Anglesea? |
46223 | Did not my life hang upon a hair? |
46223 | Did you ever hear of such mad visions as haunt me here? |
46223 | Do I then want phrases? |
46223 | Do not these on this very account wear the appearance of the bitterest irony? |
46223 | Do you remember Clementi Brentano? |
46223 | Do you remember the young parson at Bray? |
46223 | Does this mean that William wanted no rein to ride John Bull? |
46223 | Even happiness, supposing it to be attained, always brings with it the bitter thought, How long will it last? |
46223 | For what is enjoyment without security? |
46223 | Had this spiritual individual whom I call_ myself_, any previous existence connected with another form? |
46223 | Has he distinguished himself in a revolution, or a counter- revolution? |
46223 | Has it not ever been the many who have proscribed and persecuted them? |
46223 | Have I described him to you? |
46223 | Have they whiskey there?" |
46223 | Have you not enough of this yet, dear Julia? |
46223 | He asked me if I had yet seen many of the curiosities of Ireland? |
46223 | He robbed the public of an inestimable treasure; but who can blame him? |
46223 | He was asked"how much a cubic foot of wood weighed?" |
46223 | How many men have called, and do call, themselves after his name; and how many are_ true_ Christians? |
46223 | How then was it possible for a nearly barbarous people to erect such masses, or to transport them thirty miles, the distance of the_ nearest_ quarry? |
46223 | I gave him leave, and asked, laughing, what adventure he had in hand? |
46223 | I have met with few descriptions that have amused me more: and my translation,--extremely good, is it not? |
46223 | I hug myself amazingly on this discovery;--who knows if it will not throw some light on Chinese mythology? |
46223 | I must ask one more question;--why ruins have so much stronger an effect on the mind than the highest perfect specimen of architectural beauty? |
46223 | I must inquire into it immediately,--a secret of state perhaps,--who knows? |
46223 | I rang for him, recapitulated the above facts, and asked, looking earnestly at him, if he had found nothing? |
46223 | I therefore asked,"Will Fortune be more favourable to me in more serious projects?" |
46223 | I turned and saw-- nothing:--But how? |
46223 | I understand you,"said he laughing; and called to the chief of his eunuchs,"Musa, how many daughters have I?" |
46223 | I wonder whether Providence also will bestow an Order on me? |
46223 | If a minister or a general is a great man,--who can deny that the best of cooks, the loveliest of opera- dancers, has great merit? |
46223 | If we can scarcely conceive that_ all_ will become new, how can we so suddenly conceive a new_ All_? |
46223 | Invocations, prayers, promises, were in vain:--Was it a smuggler allured to this coast by the ample facilities it offers? |
46223 | Is he a warrior or a statesman? |
46223 | Is it not by her most magnificent and sublime spectacles that she awakens our hearts to emotions of piety? |
46223 | Is it not obvious that he jests at Providence and its omnipotence? |
46223 | Is not enjoyment and well- being manifestly throughout the world the positive natural state of animated beings? |
46223 | Is not suffering, evil, organic imperfection or distortion, the negative shadow in this general brightness? |
46223 | Is not this-- to say nothing of the immorality-- in the highest degree low and undignified? |
46223 | Is this selfishness? |
46223 | Madame de Rothschild was the first: she asked, whether her wishes would be fulfilled? |
46223 | Many clergymen still ask,"Do you believe in the Devil?" |
46223 | My presents please you, then? |
46223 | N''étaient ils pas tous gros et gras commes des monstres? |
46223 | Now, dear Julia, what do you think of me? |
46223 | Now, dear Julia,''est- ce moi ou le diable qui écrira le reste?'' |
46223 | O''Connell''s?" |
46223 | On the other side, Length of days was denied him: What were his works and his deeds? |
46223 | Passages of this sort ought certainly to be differently understood: for how could they be reconciled with the indispensable laws of our station? |
46223 | Perhaps you send your pious commands from afar? |
46223 | Pity he did not answer,"How much does a gold coin weigh?" |
46223 | Pointing to a good crop, he cried out with enthusiasm,"Is not that a magnificent sight?" |
46223 | Shall I send you a specimen? |
46223 | Shall I then prepare for myself such an innocent festival, and fly across the sea to you? |
46223 | She cried out eagerly, while she slapped my arm impatiently with her little velvet hand,"Come, are you afraid? |
46223 | She frightened him by suddenly calling out in her sleep,"Will the Premier stand or fall?" |
46223 | Should not I have been a perfect fool, now, to distress myself without a cause? |
46223 | Some may ask,''A quoi bon tout cela?'' |
46223 | Stinging enough, is it not, Julia? |
46223 | The answers had always some double meaning; for instance,''Shall we have a good bed?'' |
46223 | The breadth, power, truth and life of the old masters, their technical knowledge of colouring,--where are they now to be found? |
46223 | The conversation fell upon her works, and she asked me how I liked her Salvator Rosa? |
46223 | The road branched off into two divisions, and I asked her which I must take to reach Derrinane Abbey? |
46223 | This great man has anything but the face of a man of genius,--and who knows whether posterity will think his deeds betray more than his face? |
46223 | Thus captivating, and easily captivated, was it a wonder if he stole the palm even out of the hand of Edward Lynch? |
46223 | Walking quickly up to the ominous chair, she asked the chamberlain on duty, with lips quivering with passion,''Where was her seat?'' |
46223 | Was this a Dutch woman? |
46223 | Was truth on the side of the fanatical herd who gave the poison- cup to Socrates? |
46223 | What are these but insignificant clouds, so long as the sun of the mind shines clear in our inward heaven? |
46223 | What could the royal founder propose to himself by this singular law? |
46223 | What is a gentleman? |
46223 | What is a''Monkey?'' |
46223 | What is conscience? |
46223 | What is good or evil fortune? |
46223 | What is the modern_ Trilliliren_ compared with the sublimity of that old church music? |
46223 | What is unhappy man in conflict with physical evil,--and where, then, is the freedom of his will? |
46223 | What may the old boy have been?--perhaps myself in another garment? |
46223 | What revolution was it that threw this tract of sand here? |
46223 | What will be the consequences of his death? |
46223 | What would an illiberal one have done? |
46223 | What would our_ Regiérungs Räthe_( Government counsellors) say to such a scheme? |
46223 | What would the haughty Duke have said, if he could have known how his remains would be treated by such ignoble hands? |
46223 | What, you wo n''t get up? |
46223 | Whence comes it, thought I, that a heart so loving is not social? |
46223 | Who can blame them, therefore, under circumstances, for preferring the chambers of princes, especially if they can lord it there? |
46223 | Who can look intently on the sublime and holy beauty of those glittering worlds, and not be penetrated by the deepest and the sweetest emotions? |
46223 | Who can withstand entreaties so humorously moving? |
46223 | Who could then have predicted that he would so soon be ignominiously beaten by a mob, and shot as a criminal? |
46223 | Who ought to bear the blame? |
46223 | Who would not, without a moment''s hesitation, give everything in the world to enjoy the blessedness of being perfectly good? |
46223 | Whose mouth does not water when he sees Dalgetty, the soldier of fortune, display at the table a prowess even greater than in the fight? |
46223 | Why did you not put on your uniform to come to see me? |
46223 | Why is not this sublime instrument oftener introduced into church music? |
46223 | Why not employ every art in its highest perfection, in order to consecrate to God the noblest, the finest works that the human faculties can produce? |
46223 | Why should we not devote all our best powers to the honour of him who gave them? |
46223 | Why was it so long on the road?--''Quien sabbe?'' |
46223 | Will you, too, throw dust[80] in my eyes, dear Julia? |
46223 | Without printing, there would have been no Luther;--and until that epoch, had Christianity really been able to make its way? |
46223 | Would people formerly have believed that such a ministering spirit could be summoned by anything but Solomon''s signet? |
46223 | Wär''i nu nich a rechter Narr gewesen, mi zu gräme ohne Noth? |
46223 | Young shot- up things are laughing by stealth behind our backs: flying out and in; and when one of them asks"What are the old people about?" |
46223 | [ 114] To add a word in earnest: I would ask, who does not honour the humane motives which gave rise to the Bible and Missionary societies? |
46223 | [ 129]"And where do you come from?" |
46223 | [ 145] Is not that beautiful? |
46223 | [ 30] How may this be effected? |
46223 | [ 47]''Art living, dearest, or dead?'' |
46223 | [ 83] The verses alluded to are these:"Oh what were Love made for, if''tis not the same Through joy and through torment, through glory and shame? |
46223 | _ April 6th._ Can you tell me why all objects reflected by art give us only pleasure, whereas all realities have at least one defective side? |
46223 | _ Cashel, Oct. 12th, 1828._ DEAREST FRIEND, Why do I like so much to write to you? |
46223 | _ Craig y Don, August 9th, early._ Do you recollect this name? |
46223 | _ June 23rd._ What say you, dear Julia, to a breakfast given to two thousand people? |
46223 | _ Kenmare, Sept. 28th, 1828._ BELOVED FRIEND.--Was it the devil or not then? |
46223 | and has Jeremiah brought you a new serious sand- box for the purpose from B----? |
46223 | and what can outward fortune avail where the internal equilibrium is destroyed? |
46223 | and why she was wandering alone in such weather? |
46223 | by the painting of her sunsets, by the music of the rolling deep, by the forms of her mountains and her rocks? |
46223 | cries he, laughing,"did you hear the fiddle, my good Scaramouch? |
46223 | do you think life is not as sweet to me as it is to you, because I am only a poor fisherman? |
46223 | es tu là, mon enfant?" |
46223 | est elle autre chose?'' |
46223 | hab i ni recht? |
46223 | had Christianity rendered men more merciful, more moral, more benign? |
46223 | has not Parry, with his_ object_, been obliged to sail three times to the north pole, and at last return without attaining it? |
46223 | here a new fearful doubt besets me: Will all the inhabitants of the earth ever_ be called_ Christians? |
46223 | is reserved for great and weighty things? |
46223 | is that on the sea? |
46223 | or a superstitious peasant who took my unhappy person for a ghost? |
46223 | or did ever a witch burnt for sorcery produce its equal? |
46223 | or do you bring me tidings from my far distant home? |
46223 | or of that which burnt Huss? |
46223 | or of that which crucified Jesus? |
46223 | or,"How much brains does a dolt''s head contain?" |
46223 | others, what right have we to meddle in other people''s affairs? |
46223 | que cherchez- vous ici?" |
46223 | said I;"what makes you think I must be a Jew?" |
46223 | why do you ask food of me, when the great storehouse is before you?" |
46223 | would not, perhaps, the stagnant and motionless air have been yet more destructive to them? |
34238 | And,said I,"do you think that all those who made that heap there are gone to the devil?" |
34238 | Aye,said I,"but how am I, who was never here before, to know_ what is_ right, my boy?" |
34238 | Do people_ go_ it? |
34238 | Hear this, O ye that swallow up the needy, even to make the poor of the land to fail: saying, When will the new moon be gone that we may sell corn? 34238 I do n''t recollect, indeed; but what are you all pursuing him for?" |
34238 | The_ dog_,said I, in a very mild tone,"why, Ewing, there is the spot; and could we not see it, upon this smooth green surface, if it were there?" |
34238 | This place sends Members to Parliament, do n''t it? |
34238 | Well, then,said I,"is it not better for them to pay you for working_ on their land_?" |
34238 | Well,said I,"but_ how comes Beresford to live here now_, if the living be given to another man?" |
34238 | What do you deal in? |
34238 | What has he been stealing? |
34238 | What is_ carrying_? |
34238 | What_ times_,said I;"was there ever a finer summer, a finer harvest, and is there not an_ old_ wheat- rick in every farm- yard?" |
34238 | Where then,said I,"is Thursley?" |
34238 | Where? |
34238 | Who are Members_ now_? |
34238 | Whose beautiful place is that? |
34238 | Why? |
34238 | _ Peasants!_ you dirty- necked devil, and where got you that word? 34238 _ Right on_,"said I,"what over_ that bank_ into the wheat?" |
34238 | _ They?_said I,"who is_ they_?" |
34238 | _ They?_said I,"who is_ they_?" |
34238 | --"Nor at Andover?" |
34238 | --"Nor at Marlborough?" |
34238 | --Suck_ what_ in, Mr. Hitchins? |
34238 | --The other day a gentleman( and a man of general good sense too) said to me:"What a deal of wet we have: what do you think of the weather_ now_?" |
34238 | --This is very true; and what can be better? |
34238 | A correspondent asks me what is meant by the statements which he sees in the_ Register_, relative to the_ hop- duty_? |
34238 | A young man in the room( I having come to a pause) said:"But, Sir, were there no poor in Catholic times?" |
34238 | A_ right_? |
34238 | After all, what is the reflection now called for? |
34238 | After we came out of the cathedral, Richard said,"Why, Papa, nobody can build such places_ now_, can they?" |
34238 | And Sunday- tolls? |
34238 | And again I say,_ who_ is all this venison and game_ for_? |
34238 | And are not these_ improvements_, and are they not a proof of an addition to the national capital?" |
34238 | And are we to get rid of our people in the South, and supply the places of them by horses and machines? |
34238 | And as to the_ time_ thus spent, hunting is inseparable from_ early rising_: and with habits of early rising, who ever wanted time for any business? |
34238 | And besides, where did the hands come from? |
34238 | And can it be of any use to expend money in this sort of way upon poor creatures that have not half a bellyful of food? |
34238 | And could they be made at all without a great abundance of hands? |
34238 | And does any one affect to say that this is wrong? |
34238 | And does it yield_ anything to the public_, to whom it belongs? |
34238 | And does this House, then,"work well?" |
34238 | And how do the conjurers at Whitehall know this? |
34238 | And how is my Lord Howick, born and bred up in Northumberland, to know how to judge of a population suitable to Suffolk? |
34238 | And if there really be an enemy anywhere there about, would it not be a wise way to leave the worthless country to him, to use it after his own way? |
34238 | And is it wrong that one man should possess so much? |
34238 | And is there never to be an_ end_ of these things? |
34238 | And is this"prosperity?" |
34238 | And shall he never see an end to this state of things? |
34238 | And that is the life, is it, of an_ English farmer_? |
34238 | And the House did not listen to him, surely? |
34238 | And then, again, why this farm? |
34238 | And these rows of new houses, added to the Wen, are proofs of growing prosperity, are they? |
34238 | And this is"_ prosperity_,"is it? |
34238 | And tread- mills, then? |
34238 | And upon what ground is this? |
34238 | And what could any body ask for more? |
34238 | And what did he have all this money_ for_? |
34238 | And what have they done? |
34238 | And what have you got then? |
34238 | And what is meaned by"fear of the Lord,"but the fear of doing wrong, or of persevering in doing wrong? |
34238 | And what is the bargain, I want to know,_ with yearly servants_? |
34238 | And what says recent experience? |
34238 | And when they can, even in the Parliament, be received with cheering? |
34238 | And whence is this fear to arise? |
34238 | And where did the money come from? |
34238 | And where, indeed, is the foundation of the Law, to take from any man, be he who he may, the right of catching and using these animals? |
34238 | And who can possibly object to this, except those, who, amongst them, now divide the possession or benefit of this property? |
34238 | And why a barrack? |
34238 | And why does this curse continue? |
34238 | And why is two shillings a bushel kept on? |
34238 | And why should reason not be listened to? |
34238 | And why? |
34238 | And will the Government pretend that"Providence"did it? |
34238 | And will the_ Edinburgh Reviewers_ again find fault with me for cutting at this bawling, canting crew? |
34238 | And, can this operation, then, add to the"national wealth"? |
34238 | And, have you not, since about April, 1819, had absolute prohibition? |
34238 | And, in short, do they ever taste, or even hear of, any game, or any venison, from the New Forest? |
34238 | And, what are the_ hares_ kept_ for_ here? |
34238 | And, yet, are we to be banished for life, if we endeavour to show, that this House does not"work well?" |
34238 | And_ when_ did he give it up? |
34238 | And_ why_? |
34238 | Are not these trees worth a pound apiece? |
34238 | Are these things nothing? |
34238 | Are these things_ always_ to be carried on in this way? |
34238 | Are they for the Royal Family? |
34238 | As to the mercantile and manufacturing people, what is the land to expect from them? |
34238 | As to the_ nature_ of this"adjustment,"is it not most distinctly described in the Norfolk Petition? |
34238 | At Farnham the park and palace remain in the hands of a Bishop of Winchester, as they have done for about eight hundred years: but why is this? |
34238 | Aye, and to find house- rent, clothing, bedding and fuel out of it? |
34238 | But can this_ benefit_ the farmer and landlord? |
34238 | But does the reader remember James''s project for"making Ireland as happy as England"? |
34238 | But had the Government done its part; had it saved us from disgrace? |
34238 | But how is this Wen to be_ dispersed_? |
34238 | But how much better to give the men higher wages, and let them do more work? |
34238 | But how was I to harangue? |
34238 | But if reason were consulted, she would ask what pretensions these have to a preference? |
34238 | But is it_ nothing_ to keep a team of four horses, for five months in the year, on the produce of two acres of land? |
34238 | But is the_ sort_ the same? |
34238 | But the labourer, was I to have no feeling for him? |
34238 | But what are the_ women_ to do? |
34238 | But what did he mean by my_ politics_? |
34238 | But what do people mean? |
34238 | But what has the formation of the New Forest to do with this? |
34238 | But what is_ your Church_? |
34238 | But where is now the goodly audit ale? |
34238 | But, Gentlemen, is it right for the nation to keep on paying for life crowds of young fellows such as make up the greater part of this_ dead weight_? |
34238 | But, at any rate, what has all this to do with the necessity of emigration? |
34238 | But, besides that Mr. Drummond is very worthy of his estate, what chance should I have of getting it if it came to a_ scramble_? |
34238 | But, indeed, what estates might he not purchase? |
34238 | But_ who_ built them? |
34238 | But_ why_ should men, why should_ any_ men, work_ hard_? |
34238 | Can any man tell why we should still be paying five, or six, or seven shillings a bushel for salt, instead of one? |
34238 | Can any system of husbandry equal this? |
34238 | Can beggarly stuff, like larches and firs, ever be profitable to this extent? |
34238 | Can not each acre yield ten trees a year? |
34238 | Can such a thing_ go on_? |
34238 | Can that half acre cost more than a tenth part as much as the thirty acres? |
34238 | Can they show a group so wretched, so miserable, so truly enslaved as this, in all Spain? |
34238 | Colonel Wodehouse and a man of the name of Hoseason( whence came he?) |
34238 | Could he be_ heaven- born_ that invented such a system? |
34238 | Could he have_ worked_, and worked in the wet, too, with such food? |
34238 | Could not he, or somebody else, give us a portrait of the_ military_ and of the_ naval parson_? |
34238 | Did Jesus Christ and Saint Paul talk about fine houses? |
34238 | Did he, when he was ordained, talk anything about a fine house to live in? |
34238 | Did you want me to stop till the_ twentieth_ century? |
34238 | Do they come out of_ trade_ and_ commerce_? |
34238 | Do you know this from_ experience_? |
34238 | Do you mean to call upon our big gentlemen at Whitehall for them to compel the French to pay tithes? |
34238 | Do you pretend that the nation is_ richer_, because the means of making this barrack have been drawn away from the people in taxes? |
34238 | Does Monsieur de Snip call those improvements, then? |
34238 | Does he insist, that those houses form"an addition to the national capital?" |
34238 | Does it prove that we want no change? |
34238 | Does not this one fact sufficiently characterize the system under which we live? |
34238 | Does not this prove that a change, a great change, is wanted? |
34238 | Does the law say so? |
34238 | Does the reader know what is the price of this load of timber? |
34238 | Does the reader observe that there were three hundred and fifteen thousand, four hundred and seventy- seven_ loads_? |
34238 | Does there want any_ other cause_ to produce crimes? |
34238 | Does this thing"work well,"Mr. Canning? |
34238 | For as to an_ enemy_, where was he to come from? |
34238 | For what were all these country patriots born? |
34238 | For what, I wonder? |
34238 | From such vehicles what are farmers to learn? |
34238 | Good sporting country, except for coursing, and too many flints for that.--What becomes of all the_ water_? |
34238 | Has hell a torment surpassing the wickedness of thy inventor? |
34238 | Has the blessed Jesus_ told you so_?" |
34238 | Has this plan cost so little as two millions of pounds? |
34238 | Have I said that there was any invitation at all? |
34238 | Have they any exports? |
34238 | Have thirty- eight years corrected my taste, or made me a hypercritic in these matters? |
34238 | Have we ever received any evidence, or anything whereon to build a belief, that the interest on these bonds will be paid? |
34238 | He was to be damned unless born again, and how was he to be born again unless he came to the regeneration- shop and gave the fellows money? |
34238 | How are they to pay rent? |
34238 | How are you to expect that they will seek to acquire fortune and fame by study or by application of any kind? |
34238 | How came this that was at Reigate, for instance? |
34238 | How came this writer to know that it was a_ mistaken notion_? |
34238 | How can Peel''s Bill work in a more delightful manner? |
34238 | How can there be ground lost if the crop be larger? |
34238 | How could such hills have bubbled up from beneath? |
34238 | How could waters rolling about have formed such hills? |
34238 | How do we know how skilful, how learned_ they_ were? |
34238 | How is it to be otherwise? |
34238 | How long will fire- engines, steel traps, and spring guns be, in such a state of things, a protection to property? |
34238 | How long will these people starve in the midst of plenty? |
34238 | How should either of them know anything about the eastern, southern, or western counties? |
34238 | How should he? |
34238 | How should he? |
34238 | How should we get on without pensions, sinecures, tithes, and the other"glorious institutions"of this"mighty_ empire_"? |
34238 | How, then,_ came_ this big upon little? |
34238 | How_ dare_ the honourable gentlemen to suppose me capable of such a thought? |
34238 | However, what cares he? |
34238 | I asked a man how I should get to Thursley? |
34238 | I asked two men, who were threshing in a barn, how long it was since their public- house was put down, or dropped? |
34238 | I asked where this Shepperd was NOW? |
34238 | I know that such a man does not lose his estate at once; but, without rents, what is the estate? |
34238 | I pulled up my horse, and said,"Can you tell me my fortune, my dear?" |
34238 | I suppose you will not deny the facts? |
34238 | I will, I think, call upon him( if I can find him out) when I get back, and ask how he does now? |
34238 | I wonder whether Alfred had a thought of anything like this when he was clearing England from her oppressors? |
34238 | If married, how are their miserable families to live on 4_s._ 6_d._ a week? |
34238 | If such be the profit of planting ash, what would be the profit of planting locust, even for poles or stakes? |
34238 | If the law give him ample compensation for every damage that he sustains, in consequence of a trespass on his lands, what right has he to complain? |
34238 | In parting with him, I said,"You do get some_ bacon_ then?" |
34238 | In short, is the honourable and learned Gentleman for putting an end to"_ public credit_"? |
34238 | In such a state of things how are you to expect young men to enter on a course of patient industry? |
34238 | Is a nation made_ rich_ by taking the food and clothing from those who create them, and giving them to those who do nothing of any use? |
34238 | Is it any wonder that a country should be miserable when such notions prevail? |
34238 | Is it any wonder that_ paupers increase_? |
34238 | Is it possible to conceive a viler calling than that of an agent for the carrying on of gambling? |
34238 | Is it that I now look at them with the solemnness of a"professional man,"and not with the enthusiasm and eagerness of an"amateur?" |
34238 | Is it, in short, surprising, if he resort to_ theft_ and_ robbery_? |
34238 | Is not that enough to convince any one of the hellishness of this system? |
34238 | Is not that memorable petition now in the Journals of the House of Commons? |
34238 | Is not the estate worth three or four hundred thousand pounds a year? |
34238 | Is not this a monstrous shame? |
34238 | Is there a man in Parliament that will call for it? |
34238 | Is there a man who will say that this is right? |
34238 | Is there nobody to inquire what becomes of the income of the Crown lands? |
34238 | Is this Mr. Canning''s"_ Sun of Prosperity_?" |
34238 | Is this a cause of"national wealth"? |
34238 | Is this a sign of wise legislation and of good government? |
34238 | Is this the country that laughed at the French for their submissions? |
34238 | Is this the land of"manly hearts?" |
34238 | Is this the way to increase or preserve a nation''s wealth? |
34238 | Is this the"prosperity of the war?" |
34238 | Is this"a church"? |
34238 | Is this"law"? |
34238 | Is this, then, is this"church"a thing to remain untouched? |
34238 | Is this_ worth nothing_? |
34238 | It balances itself naturally enough; but what tossed it up? |
34238 | Let me see: where was I? |
34238 | Like_ protecting_ the Spanish Bonds, I suppose? |
34238 | Money was the measure of value; but if this measure was liable to be three times as large at one time as at another, who could know what to do? |
34238 | Mr. Canning will say,"will you not allow that the owners of these new enclosures and these houses know their own interests? |
34238 | Never since the time of Charles had such disgrace been brought upon the country; and why was this? |
34238 | No? |
34238 | Now, do I wish to insinuate that Mr. B---- asked too much for his farms last year, and that he wished to squeeze the last shilling out of his farmers? |
34238 | Now, if this be the case, ought not Parson Malthus, Lawyer Scarlett, and the rest of that tribe, to turn their attention to the nut- trees? |
34238 | Now, is there a man in his senses who believes that this THING can go on in the present way? |
34238 | Now, then, what did Mr. Canning say? |
34238 | Now, upon the face of the transaction, what_ harm_ could this do the community? |
34238 | Now, what can the South American State show in this way? |
34238 | Now, what ill- natured devil could bring Old Nic Grimshaw into my head in company with these innocent sheep? |
34238 | Now_ why is all this_? |
34238 | Oh, no? |
34238 | On sert Dieu bien à son aise ici?_"That is:"Egad! |
34238 | Or, at least, have they any that any man can speak of with certainty? |
34238 | Persuade them, I suppose, that it is for_ their good_ that English goods should be admitted into France and into St. Domingo with little or no duty? |
34238 | Putting this question to him, would it not check his exultation, and would it not make even Wilmot begin to reflect? |
34238 | Respecting the movements of_ whom_ is wanted this_ alarm- system_? |
34238 | Shall he never have the due reward of his labour? |
34238 | Shall not the land tremble for this; and every one mourn that dwelleth therein? |
34238 | The South West winds have cut them off; and, indeed, how should it be otherwise, if these winds happen to prevail in May, or early in June? |
34238 | The bank lends money I suppose when it chooses; and is not it to be the judge when it shall lend and when it shall not? |
34238 | The distress of agriculture was considerable in magnitude then; but what is it now? |
34238 | The doubling rental? |
34238 | The farm which never yet was left on hand? |
34238 | The impatient hope of the expiring lease? |
34238 | The marsh reclaim''d to most improving land? |
34238 | The miscreants who bribe them? |
34238 | The monster called, by the silly coxcombs of the press,"the metropolis of the empire"? |
34238 | The poor forger is hanged; but where is the prosecutor of the monopolizing farmer, though the_ law_ is as clear in the one case as in the other? |
34238 | The purse- proud tenant, never known to fail? |
34238 | The question, therefore, is, did these men attack, or were they the attacked? |
34238 | The soldier, the commissary, the barrack- master, all the whole tribe, no matter under what_ name_; what keeps them? |
34238 | The village of Kingston was smothered in the town of Portsea; and why? |
34238 | Then would it not be better for the honourable and learned Gentleman to_ hold his tongue_? |
34238 | There was no harm in them that I know of, beyond that of living upon the public; but where were their merits? |
34238 | These make part of the increased capital of the country, do they? |
34238 | They have backs as straight and shoulders as square as heroes of Waterloo; and who can blame them? |
34238 | This gentleman is now a great advocate for_ national faith_; but may not Mr. B---- ask him whether there be no faith to be kept with the landlord? |
34238 | This grass will fat any ox, or sheep; and would not Mr. Palmer like to have ten acres of land that would fat a score of oxen? |
34238 | This is a matter of great public importance; and yet, how, in the present state of things, is an_ investigation_ to be obtained? |
34238 | This was the only reason in the world for their wanting corn to sell at a high price? |
34238 | To be sure, I labour most assiduously to destroy a system of distress and misery; but is that any reason why a_ Lord_ should dislike my politics? |
34238 | True, that these deserve the halter( and some of them may have it yet); but are not the takers of the bribes_ equally_ guilty? |
34238 | Upon George asking me, whether I would not stop to breakfast? |
34238 | Was it created by the union with Scotland; or was it begotten by Pitt and his crew? |
34238 | Was it flattery? |
34238 | Was it honey that dropped from my lips? |
34238 | Was it hypocrisy; was it ostentation? |
34238 | Was not he my_ countryman_ too? |
34238 | Was not this_ always_ so? |
34238 | Was such a thing as this ever before heard of in the world? |
34238 | Was this done with regard to the loyalists of_ America_ in the reign of the good jubilee George III.? |
34238 | Was this_ instinct_ in either dog or hares? |
34238 | We hear loud outcries against the poor- rates; the_ enormous_ poor- rates; the_ all- devouring_ poor- rates; but what are the facts? |
34238 | We may talk of sparkling eyes and snowy bosoms as long as we please; but what are these with a croaking, masculine voice? |
34238 | Well,_ loyal gentlemen_, why do not you petition, then, to be relieved from tithes? |
34238 | Well: and what then, Jerry? |
34238 | Were such things as these ever before heard of in the world? |

34238 | What can be plainer than this? |
34238 | What can be the cause of this perverseness? |
34238 | What can be the_ end_ of it, but dreadful convulsion? |
34238 | What can this be_ for_? |
34238 | What comparison is there to be made between states of society so essentially different? |
34238 | What could a revolution do for him_ more_ than this? |
34238 | What could you find there to be snatched from everlasting oblivion, except for the purpose of being execrated?" |

34238 | What do"my lords"care about this? |
34238 | What do_ we_ want with armies and barracks and chaplains in those woods? |
34238 | What do_ we_ want with these wildernesses? |
34238 | What does anybody want with them; but_ we_, above all the rest of the world? |
34238 | What education, what moral precepts, can quiet the gnawings and ragings of hunger? |
34238 | What is it_ for_? |
34238 | What is the_ end_? |
34238 | What is to be the_ end_ of this? |
34238 | What is to be_ gained_ by putting this man in the place of any of those who are in power now? |

34238 | What, then, should all these churches have been built_ for_? |
34238 | What, with regard to the poor, is the great complaint now? |

34238 | Why do you want not to forget that sink of corruption? |
34238 | Why has this infamous press, which always pursues that which it thinks its own interest; why has it taken this strange turn? |
34238 | Why is it egotism? |
34238 | Why not do it from that motive? |
34238 | Why not have the people in the fertile counties of the South, where their very existence causes their food and their raiment to come? |

34238 | Why, I ask, should they work incessantly, if working part of the days of the week be sufficient? |
34238 | Why, he said that the reformers were a low degraded crew, and he called upon the House to make a stand against democratical encroachment? |
34238 | Why, was it not an ordinary; and had I not as much right there as he? |
34238 | Why? |
34238 | Will no member ask this in Parliament? |
34238 | Will the Chronicle be so good as to tell us the names of these"_ respectable_ persons"? |
34238 | Will the landlords stand this? |
34238 | Will this little, lively, but, at the same time, simple boy, ever become the terror of villains and hypocrites across the Atlantic? |
34238 | Would a dissolution of Parliament mend the matter? |
34238 | Would it not be more natural to propose to get this money back from the Church, than to squeeze so much out of the bones of the labourers? |
