Pagina 174 - And it came to pass at noon that Elijah mocked them, and said, Cry aloud : for he is a god ; either he is talking or he is pursuing, or he is in a journey, or peradventure he sleepeth, and must be awaked.
Pagina 77 - I mean to say is but this : there will come a time, when three words uttered with charity and meekness shall receive a far more blessed reward, than three thousand volumes written with disdainful sharpness of wit.
Pagina 45 - Than thee the age sees not that thing more grave, More high, more holy, that she more would crave. What name, what skill, what faith hast thou in things! What sight in searching the most antique springs! What weight and what authority in thy speech! Man scarce can make that doubt, but thou canst teach.
Pagina 40 - ... schools, it is very remarkable, that the most eminent men in every art and science have not been educated in public schools ; and this is true, even if we include, in the term of public schools, not only Eton, Winchester, and Westminster, but the CharterHouse, St. Paul's School, Merchant Taylors, Rugby, and every school in England, at all conducted upon the plan of the three first.

Pagina 151 - ... of the reformation, and even to a much later date, was so carefully provided for the higher and wealthier classes of the British youth ; but I found the subject anticipated by Dr Rennell, in his Sermon on this Anniversary, and I could add nothing to what that zealous and eloquent preacher has there urged to call the public attention to this portentous evil.
Pagina 3 - ... which he will never again be called upon to submit, to inure .him to pains which he will never again feel, and to subject him to the privation of comforts with which he will always in future abound, is surely not a very useful and valuable severity in education. It is not the life in miniature which he is to lead hereafter, nor does it bear any relation to it. He will never again be subjected to so much insolence and caprice, nor ever, in all human probability, called upon to make so many sacrifices....
Pagina 40 - Almost every conspicuous person is supposed to have been educated at public schools ; and there are scarcely any means (as it is imagined) of making an actual comparison ; and yet, great as the rage is, and long has been, for public schools, it is very remarkable that the most eminent men in every art and science have not been educated in public schools...
Pagina 7 - Butler, Rochester, Spratt, Parnell, Garth, Congreve, Gay, Swift, Thomson, Shenstone, Akenside, Goldsmith, Samuel Johnson, Beaumont and Fletcher, Ben Jonson, Sir Philip Sidney, Savage, Arbuthnot, and Burns, among the poets, were not educated in the system of English schools.
