Sida 409 - The armaments which thunder-strike the walls Of rock-built cities, bidding nations quake, And monarchs tremble in their capitals ; The oak leviathans, whose huge ribs make Their clay creator the vain title take Of lord of thee, and arbiter of war ; — These are thy toys, and, as the snowy flake, They melt into thy yeast of waves, which mar Alike the Armada's pnde, or spoils of Trafalgar.
Sida 409 - Roll on, thou deep and dark blue Ocean, roll ! Ten thousand fleets sweep over thee in vain ; Man marks the earth with ruin, his control Stops with the shore ; upon the watery plain The wrecks are all thy deed...

His steps are not upon thy paths, — thy fields Are not a spoil for him...

Sida 478 - Her Majesty has great satisfaction in congratulating the country, and the world at large, on the successful accomplishment of the great design of connecting Europe and America by the means of an electric telegraph. It is hardly possible to anticipate the full extent of the benefits which may be conferred on the human race by this signal triumph of scientific enterprise ; and Her Majesty has pleasure in expressing her deep sense of what is due to the private energy which, in spite of repeated failure...
Sida 14 - Espent, who sent up my private letter to him. And now may the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with us all. Your truly devoted and now nearly dying hnshand, GW Gordon.
Sida 654 - NW Coast of Scotland, 46; Irish Coast, 146; Isle of Man, 15; Lundy Island, 3; Scilly Isles, 5. As regards the loss of life, the returns show that the number lost from shipwreck on or near the coast of the United Kingdom, in 1865, was 698.
