Halaman 48 - ... upon the very same title that I am. I really think, that for wise men this is not judicious; for sober men, not decent; for minds tinctured with humanity, not mild and merciful.
Halaman 464 - The life of a modern soldier is ill represented by heroic fiction. War has means of destruction more formidable than the cannon and the sword. Of the thousands and ten thousands that perished in our late contests with...
Halaman 241 - Nothing, certainly, is more delightful to the human fancy than the possession of a beautiful woman in the prime of health and youthful passion ; it is, beyond all doubt, the highest enjoyment which God, in his benevolence, and for the wisest purposes, has bestowed upon his own image. I reverence, as I ought, that mysterious union of mind and body, which, while it continues our species, is the source of all our...
Halaman 464 - It is wonderful with what coolness and indifference the greater part of mankind see war commenced. Those that hear of it at a distance or read of it in books, but have never presented its evils to their minds, consider it as little more than a splendid game, a proclamation, an army, a battle, and a triumph. Some indeed must perish in the most successful field, but they die upon the bed of honour, resign their lives amidst the joys of conquest, and filled with England's glory, smile in death.
Halaman 170 - ... it is very difficult to define the indivisible line that divides perfect and partial insanity ; but it must rest upon circumstances duly to be weighed and considered both by the judge and jury, lest on the one side there be a kind of inhumanity towards the defects of human nature, or on the other side too great an indulgence given to great crimes...
Halaman 107 - riot' is described to be a tumultuous disturbance of the peace by three persons or more, assembling together of their own authority, with an intent mutually to assist one another against any who shall oppose them in the execution of some enterprise of a private nature, and afterwards actually executing the same in a violent and turbulent manner, to the terror of the people, whether the act intended were of itself lawful or unlawful.
Halaman 169 - There is a partial insanity of mind, and a total insanity. The former is either in respect to things, qupad hoc vcl illud insanire. Some persons, that have a competent use of reason in respect of some subjects, are yet under a particular dementia in respect of some particular discourses, subjects or applications ; or else it is partial in respect of degrees...
Halaman 216 - ... of the connexion, had most probably taken place. I will leave you to consider what must have been the feelings of such a husband, upon the fatal discovery that his wife, and such a wife, had conducted herself in a manner that not merely deprived him of her comfort and society, but placed him in a situation too horrible to be described. If a man without children is suddenly cut off by an adulterer from all the comforts and happiness of marriage, the discovery of his condition is happiness itself...
Halaman 246 - It involves in it an awful lesson ; and more instructive lessons are taught in Courts of Justice than the church is able to inculcate. — Morals come in the cold abstract from pulpits; but men smart under them practically when we lawyers are the preachers. ( Let the aristocracy of England, which trembles so much for itself, take heed to its own security : let the nobles of England, if they mean to preserve that preeminence which, in some shape or other, must exist in every social community, take...
Halaman 172 - ... if it was meant, that, to protect a man from punishment, he must be in such a state of prostrated intellect as not to know his name, nor his condition, nor his relation...
