Pagina 527 - ... tried by the bitterest calamities; by the want of meat, of fire, and of clothes; by the importunity of creditors, by the insolence of booksellers, by the derision of fools, by the insincerity of patrons, by that bread which is the bitterest of all food, by those stairs which are the most toilsome of all paths, by that deferred hope which makes the heart sick.
Pagina 241 - That provision should be viewed, as it really was, a reasonable compensation offered by Congress, at a time when they had nothing else to give to the officers of the army for services then to be performed. It was the only means to prevent a total dereliction of the service. It was a part of their hire.

Pagina 467 - Besides the diameter of the sun is 111 times as great as that of the earth, and at its surface, a heavy body would fall through no less than 450 feet in a single second ; so that if every other circumstance permitted human beings to re'side on it, their own weight would present an insuperable difficulty, since it would become thirty times as great as upon the surface of the earth, and a man of moderate size would weigh above two tons.
Pagina 481 - Allemans, aussi avec ces armes peut-on mieux combattre en host, que avec les lances ; car si on ne combat en haye, les lanciers s'embarrassent plus ; et le combat en haye, n'est pas si asseure qu'en host.
