Side 130 - ... like statues carved out of the solid stone. At length Macpherson, suddenly removing his right foot, so as to give him greater purchase, stooped his body, and bent his enemy down with him by main strength till they both leaned over the precipice, looking downward into the terrible abyss. The contest was as yet doubtful, for Grant had placed his foot firmly on an elevation at the brink, and had equal command of his enemy, — but at this moment...
Side 28 - Dr. (Assuming a severe look, knitting his brow, and lowering his eyebrows.) Now, sir, you are a very pretty fellow indeed ; you come here and tell me you are a moderate man ; but upon examination, I find by your own showing, that you are a most voracious glutton.

Its medium thickness is about two feet and a half; its solid contents will, therefore, be about fifty-one cubical feet.
Side 19 - Ye're as far aff t as ever. Which of the monsters of the great deep was it, can ye tell me ?

Side 130 - Stretching their limbs like men preparing for a desperate struggle, they planted their feet firmly on the ground, compressed their lips, knit their dark brows, and fixing fierce and watchful eyes on each other, stood there prepared for the onset.
Side 162 - I enclose you £27 in notes, and half-a-guinea, which is the amount of what they charge me for last year, and fourpence halfpenny over.
