This debate will become historical, for, in the speech of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, I see the beginning of the end of the great Irish difficulty.
38. lappuse - The gag forced into the mouth of whomsoever lifts up his voice with a pure heart to preach his faith, that gag I feel between my own lips, and I shudder with pain.
223. lappuse - Asia ; to offer to the youth of Britain their choice of a variety of careers, by all of which, in return for good work done to the natives of India, which those natives of India cannot, in the present stage of their history, do for themselves, an early and honourable independence may be won far more easily than in this country of overcrowded professions and...
102. lappuse - Let us swear an oath, and keep it with an equal mind, In the hollow Lotos-land to live and lie reclined On the hills like Gods together, careless of mankind.
