Side 25 - Chatham's abilities, the shrewd inflexible judgment of Mr. Grenville, nor in the mild but determined integrity of lord Rockingham. His views and situation required a creature void of all these properties ; and he was forced to go through every division, resolution, composition, and refinement of political chemistry, before he happily arrived at the caput mortuum of vitriol in your grace.

Side 37 - ... orator and statesman, only second, if second, to Peel in the House of Commons, and on whom the destiny of the country perhaps depends ? There he was, as if he had no thoughts but for the turf, full of the horses, interest in the lottery, eager, blunt, noisy, good-humoured, ' has meditans nugas et totus in illis ; * at night equally devoted to the play, as if his fortune depended on it. Thus can a man relax whose existence is devoted to great objects and serious thoughts.
Side 6 - Pills being a direct Purifier of the Blood. In Boxes, price 7Jd., Is. IJd. and 2s. 9d., by G. WHELPTON & SON, 3, Crane Court, Fleet Street, London, and sent free to any part of the United Kingdom on receipt of 8, 14 or 33 stamps. Sold by all Chemists at Home and Abroad.
