Side 259 - It is rumoured, that among the ruins so lavishly margining both banks of the Jumna, untold treasures lie hid, believed by the natives to be guarded by genii; and that ghouls, those classic revellers in Moslem graveyards, prowl nightly in their sacrilegious calling. If ruined towers, with crumbling foundations, and tombs in odd corners, with odd devices, and fragments of arched halls and glittering tile-clad domes of gaudy colours, and pearly mosques and stately minarets, can realize such monstrosities,...
Side 283 - thou make him afraid as a grasshopper? The glory of his nostrils is terrible. He paweth in the valley, and rejoiceth in his strength : He goeth on to meet the armed men. He mocketh at fear, and is not affrighted ; Neither turneth he back from the sword.
Side 107 - Let us walk as- children of the light and of the day, that we may not fall under this condemnation.
Side 68 - Mr. Blunt!" said I, addressing our lately fellowpassenger, whom we now joined, " you will apologise to the officer to whom you applied such objectionable terms? you cannot but regret them.
Side 279 - CRUMBS. 279 were much of a size and shape ; if all were painted white, and disposed with the same regularity; and if all inhabitants of cities were clad in scarlet, then cities would be equally distracting ; but men not subject to military rule differ in taste, both as to houses and external garments; differences which mark their whereabouts, and are of a distinct use in this world.
