327. oldal - One thing I must desire of thee, and do insist that thee oblige me therein : that thou make up that drugget clothes, to go to Virginia in, and not appear to disgrace thyself or me ; for though I should not esteem thee the less, to come to me in what dress thou will, — yet these Virginians are a very gentle, well-dressed people — and look, perhaps, more at a man's outside than his inside.

We have now a shoot with a woody axis, and a distinct pith and bark ; and of a more or less conical figure. At the axilla of every leaf a bud had been generated during the growth of the...
427. oldal - It was on the first of January this year, while contending with the difficulties Nature imposed in different forms to our progress up the river Berbice, that we arrived at a point where the river expanded, and formed a currentless basin ; some object on the southern extremity of this basin attracted my attention ; it was impossible to form any idea...

247. oldal - Moveable property, or capital, may procure a man all the advantages of wealth ; but property in land gives him much more than this. It gives him a place in the domain of the world — it unites his life to the life which animates all creation. Money is VOL.
