103. lappuse - I have no national predilections for my present mode of thinking. My birth and early education put me in a very different position from the one in which I now am ; but, being now an inhabitant of Manchester, having had ample opportunity of observing and judging, and being in a position where I can have no motive for a partial judgment, I maintain that, if we can strike an average of all classes of our population and the population of other districts, we shall find that the morality of...
225. lappuse - At thirteen, I wrote Greek with ease; and at fifteen my command of that language was so great that I not only composed Greek verses in lyric metres, but could converse in Greek fluently, and without embarrassment...

Crowds of people beset his door, and when he shut up at three o'clock, he found that no less than one thousand shares had been subscribed for, and the deposits paid. He was thus, in five hours, the winner of 2,000/. He was philosopher enough to be contented with his venture, and set off the same evening for the Continent. He was never heard of again.
222. lappuse - A Bloody Irish Almanack, or Rebellious and Bloody Ireland Discovered, in some notes extracted out of an almanack, printed at Waterford, in Ireland, for this yeare 1646.
158. lappuse - When all was ready and the church-doors opened, the clergyman and clerk betook themselves to the vestry, and the people who were about to be married and their friends seated themselves in the body of the church opposite the communion table, on benches which were placed there for the purpose. Not less than fifty people were assembled, among whom I took my seat quietly without being noticed. The party who had arrived upon wheels most exclusively paraded, in the mean time, up and down (as if unwilling...

Attached to the blower is a lapping apparatus, by which the cotton is taken up and laid in a continuous fleece upon a roller, in order that it may be conveniently carried to the carding engine, there to be made into a fleece of the most equable texture possible ; hence it is handed to the drawing frame, where it is blended with the production of all the carding engines connected with the particular set or system to which it belongs. It is next...
55. lappuse - The weaver next operates upon it, passes it through the loom, rubs up the tape, and consigns it to the taker-in, who examines the fabric, and transfers it to the putter-out, who sends it to the bleacher. When bleached, it is handed to the scraper, whose business it is to take out the creases, and open the tape, by running it under and over iron scrapers. This having been done, the piece is put through the callender, when it is pressed between hot bowls and rendered smooth and glossy.
159. lappuse - The clergyman's coming !" and all was perfectly silent. About twelve couples were there to be married, the rest were friends and attendants. The former were called upon to arrange themselves altogether round the altar. The clerk was an adept in his business, and performed the duties of his office in a mode admirably calculated to set the people at their ease, and direct the proceedings. In appointing them to their proper places, he addressed each in an intonation of voice particularly soft and soothing,...
103. lappuse - When we look at the extent of this parish, containing at least 300,000 souls more than the population of the half of our counties can we be surprised that there is a great amount of immorality ? But a great proportion of that immorality is committed by those who have been already nursed in crime in districts of the country supposed to be more innocent than our own, and are, apparently, added to the number of those who swell our police reports, not so much because we hold out greater facilities...
168. lappuse - The only window was less than 1 8 inches square, and was not made to open. Although it was a warm day, towards the close of August, there was a fire burning; and the door, through which alone any air could be admitted, was shut. Of course, therefore, the room was close and hot ; but there was no remedy. The damp, subterraneous walls required, as the old woman assured us, a fire throughout the year. If she opened the door the children would rush out to light and liberty, while the cold blast rushing...
