Side 404 - That you he carried from hence to the place from whence you came, and from thence to the place of execution, and there to be hanged by the neck till you are dead, — and may the Lord havu mercy on your soul...
Side 301 - I have but one request to ask, at my departure from this world; it is the charity of its silence. Let no man write my epitaph; for, as no man who knows my motives dare now vindicate them, let not prejudice or ignorance asperse them. Let them and me repose in obscurity and peace, and my tomb remain uninscribed, until other times and other men can do justice to my character.
Side 301 - I am going to my cold and silent grave ; my lamp of life is nearly extinguished ; my race is run ; the grave opens to receive me, and I sink into its bosom ! I have but one request to ask at my departure from this world ; it is the charity of its silence !

Surely, my lord, I may, consistent with both truth and modesty, affirm thus much ; and none who have any veracity, and knew me, will ever question...
Side 13 - I labour, not with guilt, my lord, but with perplexity. For, having never seen a court but this, — being wholly unacquainted with law, the customs of the bar, and all judiciary proceedings...
Side 213 - ... you are to be drawn on hurdles to the place of execution, where you are to be hanged by the neck, but not until you are dead, for while you are still living your bodies are to be taken down, your bowels torn out and burnt before your faces ; your heads...
Side 16 - ... too: and it has scarce or never been heard of, but that every cell now known contains or contained these relics of humanity, some mutilated and some entire. I do not inform, but give me leave to remind your Lordship that here sat solitary Sanctity...
