Sivu 40 - Henry the Eighth, by the grace of God King of England, France, and Ireland, Defender of the Faith, and of the Church of England, and also of Ireland, in earth the supreme head...
Sivu v - Death is there associated, not, as in Westminster Abbey and St Paul's, with genius and virtue, with public veneration and with imperishable renown; not, as in our humblest churches and churchyards, with everything that is most endearing in social and domestic charities; but with whatever is darkest in human nature and in human destiny, with the savage triumph of implacable enemies, with the inconstancy, the ingratitude, the cowardice of friends, with all the miseries of fallen greatness and of blighted...
Sivu 190 - It booted him not to ask why, but heavily he took a priest at adventure, and made a short shrift, for a longer would not be suffered, the protector made so much haste to dinner ; which he might not go to till this were done for saving of his oath.
Sivu 143 - Great was the triumph here at London ; for my time I never saw the like, and by the report of others, the like was never seen.

Sivu 188 - White Tower once more claims our attention. Already described as having walls of enormous thickness, this venerable stronghold is divided into four stories including the vaults. The latter consist of two large chambers and a smaller one, with a coved termination at the east, and a deeply-recessed arch at the opposite extremity. Light is admitted to this gloomy chamber by four semicircular-headed loopholes. At the north is a cell ten feet long by eight wide formed in the thickness of the wall, and...
Sivu xviii - ... to mock God and deride justice, to scruple at the stealing of a shilling, and not at the usurpation of a crown. Besides...
Sivu 193 - The warder complied, and led the way round the battlements, pausing occasionally to point out some object of interest. Viewed from the summit of the White Tower, especially on the west, the fortress still offers a striking picture. In the middle of the sixteenth century, when its outer ramparts were strongly fortified, when the gleam of corslet and pike was reflected upon the dark waters of its moat, when the inner ballium walls were entire and unbroken, and its thirteen towers reared their embattled...
Sivu 190 - ... are very remarkable. If one who had never heard of Napoleon were to read Scott's Life of the great military chieftain, and then read Abbott's work, in what a maze of perplexity would he be involved between the disparagement of the one and the deification of the other ! If one writer asserts that the Duke of Clarence was drowned in a butt of malmsey in the Tower of London, and another derisively treats it as a
Sivu xviii - I am not so young, nor so little read in the guiles of fortune, to suffer myself to be taken by them. If she enrich any, it is but to make them the subject of her spoil ; if she raise others, it is but to pleasure herself with their ruins ; what she adored...
