Side 54 - I have seen them on the peninsula of Cape Cod, and in the neighbourhood of Lake Erie ; distant from each other more than six hundred miles. They make their way to Detroit, four hundred miles farther ; to Canada ; to Kentucky ; and, if I mistake not, to New-Orleans and St. Louis.
Side 317 - Into one place, and let dry land appear.' Immediately the mountains huge appear Emergent, and their broad bare backs upheave Into the clouds; their tops ascend the sky: So high as...
Side 24 - He that believeth and is baptised shall be saved, and he that believeth not shall be damned.
Side 179 - British post, the capture of General Wadsworth was soon announced and the shore thronged with spectators, to see the man, who, through the preceding year, had disappointed all the designs of the British in that quarter ; and loud shouts were heard from the rabble which covered the shore ; but when he arrived at the fort and was conducted into the officers' guard room, he was treated with politeness.
Side 22 - He had fifteen children ; ten of whom were married during his life, and one after his death. The remaining four died while young. This numerous family he educated with the means which have been mentioned, in a manner, superior to what is usually found in similar circumstances ; entertained much company in a style of genuine hospitality ; and was always prepared to contribute to the necessities of others.
Side 148 - The rocks, rude and ragged in a manner rarely paralleled, were fashioned and piled by a hand operating only in the boldest and most irregular manner. As we advanced, these appearances increased rapidly. Huge masses of granite, of every abrupt form, and hoary with a moss, which seemed the product of ages, recalling to the mind the saxum vetustum of Virgil, speedily rose to a mountainous height.
Side 151 - ... moss. As we passed onward through this singular valley, occasional torrents, formed by the rains and dissolving snows at the close of winter, had left behind them, in many places, perpetual monuments of their progress, in perpendicular, narrow and irregular paths of immense length, where they had washed the precipices naked and white, from the summit of the mountain to the base. Wide and deep chasms also...
Side 403 - Their favorite food is clover and maize. Of the latter they devour the part which is called the silk ; the immediate means of fecundating the ear; and thus prevent the kernel from coming to perfection. But their voracity extends to almost every vegetable; even to the tobacco plant and the burdock. Nor are they confined to vegetables alone. The garments of laborers, hung up in the field while they are at work, these insects destroy in a few hours ; and with the same voracity they devour the loose...
Side 148 - When we entered the notch we were struck with the wild and solemn appearance of everything before us. The scale on which all the objects in view were formed was the scale of grandeur only. The rocks, rude and ragged in a manner rarely paralleled, were fashioned and piled on each other by a hand operating only in the boldest and most irregular manner. As we advanced, these appearances...
Side 84 - Messiskow,' on the borders of the River Missiscoui, near the north end of Lake Champlain, upon the eastern shore. The mother soon followed, and found it neglected, lean, and almost perishing with hunger. As she pressed its face to her cheek, the eager, half-starved infant bit her with violence. For three nights she was permitted to cherish it in her bosom ; but in the day-time she was confined to a neighboring wigwam, where she was compelled to hear its unceasing cries of distress, without a possibility...
