Side 283 - 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.

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 107 - Let us walk as- children of the light and of the day, that we may not fall under this condemnation.
Side 278 - But the cotton city on a treeless plain, is the real puzzle, depend on it. If all houses 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.
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 69 - ... the ground, I thought at first that I had done so prematurely. The cadet was on his knees, as if in prayer, and so he remained; he had so fallen. His second even thought him praying — but he was dead, stone-dead.
