Pagina 214 - When he sat down, the Speaker sent for him, and told him that, in all his prolonged experience, he had never seen the House in such a state of excitement.
Pagina 209 - Sir (addressing himself to the Speaker), I, who rise only to give my opinion on the Bill now depending, am so confounded that I am unable to express the least of what I proposed to say, what must the condition of that man be, who, without any assistance, is pleading for his life, and under apprehension of being deprived of it...
Pagina 210 - You may well do so ; for, excepting yourself, there is no man in the House can make such another ; and, old as I am, I expect and hope to hear you both battling it within these walls, as I have heard your fathers before you.
Pagina 294 - Silent; — hardly a shout From a few boys late at their play! The lights come out in the street, In the school-room windows; but cold, Solemn, unlighted, austere, Through the gathering darkness, arise The chapel-walls, in whose bound Thou, my father! art laid.
