183. lappuse - He was in logic a great critic, Profoundly skilled in analytic; He could distinguish and divide A hair 'twixt south and south-west side; On either which he would dispute, Confute, change hands, and still confute. He'd undertake to prove, by force Of argument, a man's no horse; He'd prove a buzzard is no fowl, And that a lord may be an owl, A calf an alderman, a goose a justice, And rooks committee-men and trustees.
219. lappuse - With regard to the church of Ireland, the single question is, does that church do good or evil ! Is Protestant ascendancy — for that is what is meant by preserving the church — of so much benefit, that it must at all hazards be preserved, or is it not a curse to the people of Ireland...
127. lappuse - ... he was not in one year a Protestant master of the Rolls, and in the next a Catholic lord chancellor. He would rather remain where he was, the humble member for Plympton, than be guilty of such contradiction, such unexplainable conversion, such miserable, such contemptible apostacy.
28. lappuse - That your honourable house will be pleased to take such measures as to your wisdom may seem meet, to remove the evils arising from the unequal manner in which the different parts of the kingdom are admitted to participate in the representation. To correct the partial distribution of the elective franchise, which commits the choice of representatives to select bodies of men of such limited numbers as renders them an easy prey to the artful, or a ready purchase to the wealthy.
220. lappuse - ... pattern even for its sister in this country. But if they are negligent it is of little matter. They are sent to teach duties and doctrines the people abhor. The learned Gentleman has reflected on the landowners, but it would be better to have gentlemen to enjoy the property of the Church, or better have the salaries themselves to reside, than a class of men who can have no community of feeling or interest with their flock, who come, to use emphatic language, to bring a sword, not peace, and who...
148. lappuse - Mars fuit, ut propius periculum fuerint, qui 10 vicerunt ; odiis etiam prope majoribus certarunt quam viribus, Romanis indignantibus, quod victoribus victi ultro inferrent arma, Pœnis, quod superbe avareque crederent imperitatum victis esse.
127. lappuse - I have no apostacy disgracefully to explain. I have no paltry subterfuge to resort to. I have not to say that a thing is black one day, and white another. I have not been in one year a Protestant Master of the Rolls, and in the next a Catholic lord Chancellor. I would rather remain as I am, the humble member for Plympton, than be guilty of such apostacy — such contradiction — such unexplainable conversion — such miserable, contemptible apostacy.
87. lappuse - I find it divested of all its main pillars, and it is composed now of a sort of rubbish. The artificer has certainly been dexterous in forming the building with respect to its durability ! Could he have found out such a mass of rubbish in any other quarter, formed as it was by the two parties ? The artificer has made a dexterous endeavour to un-whig a part of the whigs, and untory a part of the tories.
90. lappuse - A little, sharp, cunning-looking man, with nothing of an imposing presence.
13. lappuse - We have a similar advice from a still greater man. When Sir George Murray attempted to excuse himself from taking office under the Duke of Wellington, on account of his inexperience in public speaking, " Pho, pho," said the Duke, " do as I do — say what you think, and don't quote Latin.
