137 페이지 - because all the world in concert could not have kept him in the background, and because when once in the front he played his part with a prompt intrepidity and a commanding ease that were but the outward symptoms of the immense reserves of energy, on which it was in his power to draw.
143 페이지 - ... the general odium. The prerogative of the Crown is to exert the constitutional powers entrusted to it in a way, not of blind favour and partiality, but of wisdom and judgment.

84 페이지 - This brought the man to himself. When the King came up to me, he asked why I did not come to town before. I said, I understood there was no business going forward in the House in which I could be of service to His Majesty. He replied, he supposed the severe storm of snow would have brought me up.
