Sivu 40 - With lust and violence the house of God? In courts and palaces he also reigns And in luxurious cities, where the noise Of riot ascends above their loftiest towers, And injury and outrage : and when night Darkens the streets, then wander forth the sons Of Belial, flown with insolence and wine.
Sivu 156 - With the gracious message of the Queen's Proclamation still ringing in our ears — let me repeat those noble words — "Our subjects of whatever race or creed be freely admitted to all offices the duties of which they may be qualified by their education, their ability, and their integrity duly to discharge...
Sivu 148 - Empire against the worst calamities of future famine, so far as such an insurance can now be practically provided, is the pledge we have given that a sum not less than a million and a half sterling, which exceeds the amount of the additional contributions obtained from the people for this purpose, shall be annually applied to it. ... We have pledged ourselves not to spend one rupee of the special resources thus created upon works of a different character.
Sivu 12 - ... as nothing in comparison with another subject, which is regarded by us as the very origin and fountain-head of all our grievances. I allude to the utter absence of any system of popular representation in the Government of India. An idea has taken root amongst the educated classes in India that the time has fully come when some system of representative government ought to be conceded to us. I am aware that it is the fashion among Anglo-Indian officials to treat all such demands with contemptuous...
Sivu 121 - But the climax of impudence is reached in the next passage to which I shall call your attention. With a brutality unsurpassed, unequalled, and with a total absence of shame, he covered himself with lasting infamy by levelling his cowardly insults against the innocent and unoffending women of this country.
Sivu 12 - ... Anglo-Indian officials to treat all such demands with contemptuous sneers ; but, sir, I feel that the time is not far distant when the voice of a united nation will make itself heard across the seas and oceans that roll between our native land and yours, and it will make itself heard, too, in tones that will demand and secure a prompt recognition of our claims; nor can England, without being utterly false to all her traditions, to her history, and to herself, continue to refuse to us that boon...
Sivu 128 - ... excepting in the world to come. (Cheers.) I will now hasten to dwell upon one or two other topics, to which I think it absolutely necessary to draw your attention. You are aware that Mr. Stanhope has given notice of a motion in the House of Commons to the effect that this Bill is calculated to inflame the jealousies of race. Now, no one can regret such a result more deeply than we, the Natives of India, who understand our interests too well ever to harbour in our hearts the traitor wish to see...
Sivu 5 - ... a greater boon can be conferred upon the country than the extension of the perpetual settlement throughout India in a somewhat modified form to that which obtains in Bengal. We should like to see the settlement made with the cultivating classes themselves and not with a class of middleman such as zemindars of Bengal.
Sivu 122 - With a brutality unsurpassed, unequalled, and with a total absence of shame, he covered himself with lasting infamy by levelling his cowardly insults against the innocent and unoffending women of this country. He dared to tell his hearers that our ladies '. were used to the foul multitudes of the Courts.
Sivu 121 - If this, indeed,* were the case, nothing could be more presumptuous or ridiculouSj .But even the jackass is not foolish enough to insult the majesty of the lion. But if the pitiful cur chooses to cover his recreant limbs with the borrowed hide of the lion, then I think the kick of the jackass is his only fitting punishment.
