Стр. 514 - Footfalls on the Boundary of Another World. With narrative Illustrations, by ROBERT DALE OWEN. Post 8vo, Js. 6d. Spiritualism. — Debatable Land between this World and the Next.
Стр. 126 - In these critical moments, how salutary will be the interference of some temperate and respectable body of citizens, in order to check the misguided career, and to suspend the blow meditated by the people against themselves, until reason, justice, and truth can regain their authority over the public mind...
Стр. 478 - ... it would be, that the great want which mankind labors under, at this present period, is — Sleep ! The world should recline its vast head on the first convenient pillow, and take an age-long nap.
