Seite 27 - Truly it has been said, emphatically in these days ought it to be repeated : A loving Heart is the beginning of all Knowledge.

Seite 229 - Edinburgh or any part of Europe. It is not wonderful that in the designs of Providence medicinal agents should exist,, capable of averting pain by the suspension of sensibility. But the wonder is that after mankind had borne pain ever since the creation of their race, any person should be found of sufficient courage and strength of conviction to put through the untried and formidable experiments necessary to decide whether life could continue, under the inhalation of a scarce respirablc vapor, carried...
Seite 199 - Scotchmen start and stare, while you were bringing to life again the fishes of their old red sandstone. I must be content with the visions of memory and the feelings they again kindle in my heart, for it will never be my happiness to see your face again in this world. But let me, as a Christian man...
