Sivu 160 - Fox, and 1 might add to these, if it were necessary, our present Admiral (Malcolm). "Cornwallis was, in every sense of the word, a worthy, good, and honest man. At the time of the treaty of Amiens, the terms having been agreed upon, he had promised to sign the next day at a certain hour: something of consequence detained him at home, but he pledged his word. The evening of that same day, a courier arrived from London proscribing certain articles of the treaty, but he answered that he had signed,...
Sivu 291 - One day Madame Lefevre called upon her, " and, in her usual strain of language, said, " ' How little kindness and goodness of heart " there is among you people of quality.
