Стр. 93 - The natural history of these islands is eminently curious, and well deserves attention. Most of the organic productions are aboriginal creations, found nowhere else; there is even a difference between the inhabitants of the different islands; yet all show a marked relationship with those of America, though separated from that continent by an open space of ocean, between 500 and 600 miles in width.
Стр. 47 - Best seem'd the thing he was, and join'd Each office of the social hour To noble manners, as the flower And native growth of noble mind ; Nor ever narrowness or spite, Or villain fancy fleeting by, Drew in the expression of an eye, Where God and Nature met in light; And thus he bore without abuse The grand old name of gentleman, Defamed by every charlatan, And soil'd with all ignoble use.

Стр. 142 - Man may be said to have been trying an experiment on a gigantic scale ; and it is an experiment which nature, during the long lapse of time has incessantly tried.
Стр. 163 - The principle of Antithesis. — Certain states of the mind lead to certain habitual actions, which are of service, as under our first principle.
