Puritanism had struck deep root in the land, and though the triumphant Cavaliers might hew its branches, strip off its foliage, ...

At this Sir Mordred waxed very wroth, and would have killed the Bishop had he not fled to Glastonbury, where he became ...

Our politicians ought to have read the signs of the times better; but they were too intent on feeling the pulse of the electorate at home to attend to disturbing and unwelcome symptoms abroad.

It may, in addition, be regarded as corroborative of the justness of the position taken by the advocates of a mail-steamer line between this country and Africa. We are by no means disposed to look invidiously on the enterprising spirit exhibited abroad for securing a closer connection with a country, the great mercantile wealth of which is yet, comparatively speaking, untouched. This spirit should have on us no other than a stimulating effect. Besides, for years, if not ages, to come, the trade with Africa can admit of no very close competition. ...
