The love of brother and sister differs from that of brother for brother, or sister for sister. The love ...

The Religio loci is no where violated by these unstinted, yet unpretending, works of human hands.

Toward the close of 1767 Choiseul began to show his hand by demanding absolute possession for France of at least two strong towns. Paoli replied that the demand was unexpected, and required ...

Ollivier in order, as he says, that his readers may judge for themselves how far it merited the unstinted eulogy that has since been bestowed upon it; for M. Ollivier evidently considers that those who have credited Thiers with heroic patriotism in making this strenuous effort to avert the catastrophe have over-praised him. Yet with this view we believe that few of those who read ...

It is seldom, indeed, that the reviewer has the opportunity of bestowing unstinted praise, with the feeling that the laudation is, nevertheless, inadequate.

His two years there coincided with the first part of Dick's residence, and Darrow's gifts had at once attracted the younger student.

Darrow thus became the grateful frequenter of their little salon; and ...
