Side 216 - There is a thing, Harry, which thou hast often heard of, and it is known to many in our land by the name of pitch: this pitch, as ancient writers do report, doth defile; so doth the company thou keepest...
Side 13 - That Congress have no authority to interfere in the emancipation of slaves, or in the treatment of them within any of the States ; it remaining with the several States alone to provide any regulations therein, which humanity and true policy may require.

Side 248 - Sir, your letter has come, and with it your enclosure. You are more than kind. I can never repay your constant and assiduous goodness. Do not come this way till you can stay four days. With that condition, come as soon as possible. Julia is reported to be quite comfortable to-day. Yours, DW MRS. LEE TO MR. WEBSTER. May 1, 1848.

Side 360 - In the earlier part of our acquaintance, my dear Sir, occurrences took place which I remember with constantly increasing regret and pain ; because the more I have known of you, the greater have been my esteem for your character and my respect for your talents. But it is your noble, able, manly, and patriotic conduct, in support of the great measure of this session, which has entirely won my heart, and secured my highest regard.
Side 203 - And I remember to have cried, and I cry now at the recollection. ' My child,' said he, ' it is of no importance to me. I now live but for my children. I could not give your elder brothers the advantages of knowledge, but I can do something for you. Exert yourself, improve your opportunities, learn, learn, and, when I am gone, you will not need to go through the hardships which I have undergone, and which have made me an old man before my time.
Side 120 - WASHINGTON, August 21, 1842. " MY DEAR SIR : I cannot forego the pleasure of saying to an old and constant friend, who, I know, takes a personal as well as a public interest in the matter, that the treaty was ratified last evening by a vote of thirtynine to nine.
