Seite 109 - That moment the negro next to me seized the lance and held it firm in its place, while I dashed head foremost into the den to grapple with the snake, and to get hold of his tail before he could do any mischief.
Seite 101 - My son, fear thou the LORD and the king : and meddle not with them that are given to change...
Seite 232 - AD 1.357, with a small company, seized on Scarborough Castle (utterly destitute of provision for resistance), before the townsmen had the least notice of his approach.
Seite 132 - In the north aisle of Westminster Abbey is a handsome monument erected to his memory, admirably well cut, having his bust thereon, in white marble, with the following concise but energetic inscription on the tablet beneath : — Sacred To those virtues That adorn a Christian and a soldier, This marble perpetuates the memory of Lientenant-General Joshua Guest, Who closed a service of sixty years, By faithfully defending Edinburgh Caatle Against the rebels in 1745.
