Seite 251 - I am not very willing that any language should be totally extinguished. The similitude and derivation of languages afford the most indubitable proof of the traduction of nations, and the genealogy of mankind. They add often physical certainty to historical evidence ; and often supply the only evidence of ancient migrations, and of the revolutions of ages which left no written monuments behind them.
Seite 60 - Alleluia ; for the Lord God Omnipotent reigneth. Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to Him : for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.
Seite 166 - The whole People are fond and tenacious of the Highland Clothing, as you may believe by what is here to follow. Being, in a wet Season, upon one of my Peregrinations, accompanied by a Highland Gentleman, who was one of the Clan through which I was passing, I observed the...
Seite 164 - Their habit is — shoes, with but one sole a-piece ; stockings (which they call short hose), made of a warm stuff of divers colours, which they call tartan ; as for breeches, many of them, nor their forefathers, never wore any, but a jerkin of the same...

Seite 171 - Sight but intolerable to the Smell of those who are near them. The Stocking rises no higher than the Thick of the Calf, and from the Middle of the thigh to the middle of the Leg is a naked space, which being exposed to all Weathers, becomes tanned and freckled^ and the Joint being mostly infected with the Country Distemper, the whole is very disagreeable to the Eye. This Dress is called the Quelt...
Seite 277 - Boss, advocate, one of their own countrymen ; but, as their conduct was illegal, and the offence clearly proved, they were found guilty, and condemned to be transported to Botany Bay. It would appear, however, that, though the legality of the verdict and sentence could not be questioned, these did not carry along with them the public opinion, which was probably the cause that the escape of the prisoners was in a manner connived at; for they disappeared out of prison, no one knew how, and were never...
Seite 183 - O Oscar ! bend the strong in amt : but spare the feeble hand. Be thou a stream of many tides against the foes of thy people ; but like the gale that moves the grass, to those who ask thine aid. So Trenmor lived ; such Trathal was ; and such has Fingal been. My arm was the support of the injured ; the weak rested behind the lightning of my steel.
