When Henry VIII. granted it to the earls of Walney, he took no further notice of it. The earl, though he followed the temporising fashion, then prevalent, was a good catholic at bottom, and enjoying in his own domain very considerable power, he suffered the abbey to continue unim- paired. They recruited their numbers by tuition, and continu- ed with little visible change in their condition, till the opening of the seventeenth century. At that period, the number of members was much diminished, and the spirit and zeal of those that remained, had from various causes greatly declined. It now became the principal family mansion of the lord, when he remained at Orme. http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1811-00322.xml Tue, 01 Jan 1811 12:00:00 GMT http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1804-03474.xml The legislature of New Jersey, on the 15th February passed a law for the gradual abolition of slavery.

It has, however, made a great figure in the world during the last century; and though the monarchy, as a single body, may be annihilated, yet the land and people composing it will still remain. It may there- fore be interesting and instructive to give a concise account of its ac- tual condition on the eve of the present war. This account will have so far a connection with the present state of things, that it will inform us what it is which the French have overturned; what weight has been taken out of one scale, and, if the revolution should be permanent, what has been put into another. It will likewise af- ford us some insight into the real consequences of the present war in Europe, by showing the kind and degree of national prosperity and happiness which that war has destroyed, or at least suspended. http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1807-02159.xml Thu, 01 Jan 1807 12:00:00 GMT http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1804-11576.xml There is no institution of the kind, in North America, which bears any comparison, in importance, value, and extent, to the museum in the city of Philadelphia, the founder and conduc- tor of which is C.

His sister became, on the death of her husband, his housekeeper. She was always at home. The guests who came in search of the man, finding him abroad, lingered a little as politeness en- joined, but soon found something in the features and accents of the lady, that induced them to prolong their stay, for their own sake: nay, without any well-defined expectation of meeting their inviter, they felt themselves disposed to repeat their visit.

This is very unaccountable. That part of the picturesque which arises from the elaborate arrangements of art, and especially from the architectural monuments of ancient times, it is true, we do not possess. No crum- bling walls are scattered over our vallies; no ivy-clad tower reposes on the brow of our hills. How much the imagination is inspired by these memorials of former gene- rations, with what solemn and en- nobling elevation they fill the mind, are easily conceived, and these ad- juncts are certainly wanting to the scenes of our country. Those who are accustomed to see nature con- stantly accompanied by ancient tur- rets or modern obelisks, by palaces and spires, by artificial lakes and water-falls, grow fastidious. The face of uncultivated nature, which contains no vestige of other times, nothing to hint of battles, sieges, or murder, is to them dreary, blank, and insipid. http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1805-02097.xml Fri, 01 Feb 1805 12:00:00 GMT http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1807-01207.xml October 1, 1806. http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1807-01207.xml Thu, 01 Jan 1807 12:00:00 GMT http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1808-01071a.xml July 10, 1807. http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1808-01071a.xml Fri, 01 Jan 1808 12:00:00 GMT http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1808-02543.xml DIED, on the 5th April, Bulah Bolton, wife of Joseph Bolton, junior, of Retreat Works, New Jersey, after a long and severe suf- fering, which she bore with that patience and resignation, conse- quently resulting from a pious mind, and which alone can look with confidence to a gracious Re- deemer for intercession with the Father for past transgressions.

Even these two circumstances of a stated task, and a beaten path, are calculated to blunt the edge, and cool the ardour of the mind; and, therefore, of themselves present a serious difficulty. But the christian divine has still greater difficulties to contend with. It is his business to unite powers which are rarely found to meet in any one man.

If there be no strains of uncommon eloquence, there is, at least, no tincture of af- fectation, no painful efforts to at- tain sublimity and grandeur. There is none of that glittering imagery and elaborate conscieness which prove the writer to be more engaged in displaying and contemplating his own perfections than those of the deceased. There is earnestness, if not pathos; and, if he depicts in ex- aggerated colours the national grief, he is led into this error, less by the precepts of a fulsome and phantastic rhetoric, than by the mournful suggestions of his own mind. http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1800-02122.xml Sat, 01 Feb 1800 12:00:00 GMT http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1799-06229.xml (Continued from page 134.) http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1799-06229.xml Mon, 01 Jun 1970 12:00:00 GMT http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1799-05129.xml This discourse was delivered on the same occasion with the last. It maintains, with equal zeal, the importance of Christia- nity, to the welfare of civil socie- ty; and is not less decided and warm in inculcating the duty of sup- porting the government of the United States. The text is chosen from Isaiah xxvi. 9. When thy judgments are in the earth, the inha- bitants of the world will learn righte- ousness. After a short and appro- priate introduction, the author pro- poses, 1. “To show in what con- sists the right improvement of pub- lic evils and dangers;” and, 2. “To apply the subject to the present cir- cumstances of the world, and espe- cially of our own country.” Under the first head, Mr. K. undertakes to show, that the judgments of God call us, 1. To acknowledge his providence; 2. To submit to his will, and confide in his wisdom and power; 3. To repent of all sin; and, 4. To return to the practice of our whole duty, and especially those parts of it to which recent experi- ence, or the exigencies of th... http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1799-05129.xml Fri, 01 May 1970 12:00:00 GMT http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1799-07293.xml http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1799-07293.xml Wed, 01 Jul 1970 12:00:00 GMT http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1800-02124.xml FOR several years past the orators on the anniversary of Ameri- can independence have ben freed from the tramels which formerly beset them, in undertaking their holy-day task. The awful convul- sions of Europe, and the conflicts of party animosity in our own country, have furnished ample sub- stitutes for the old and thread-bare topics of British oppression, the value of independence, the blessings of civil liberty, and the rising glory of our new world. Of this oppor- tunity to depart from the beaten path, Mr. L. has availed himself. Instead of dwelling on themes for- merly considered appropriate to the occasion, he prefers the more popu- lar subjects of domestic broils, the French revolution, and the horrors produced by political licentiousness and false philosophy, in every coun- try in which French power and principles have gained the ascend- ancy. http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1800-02124.xml Sat, 01 Feb 1800 12:00:00 GMT http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1800-08131.xml http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1800-08131.xml Fri, 01 Aug 1800 12:00:00 GMT http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1800-02125.xml THE death of General Wash- ington has produced sensa- tions in the public mind, and called forth expressions of sorrow for his loss, and of respect to his memory, which are, probably, without a pa- rallel in the history of man. Over his tomb the spell of party is dis- solved; the conflicts of opposing politicians are suspended, and the American people, with one heart, and with all the ardour of filial af- fection and gratitude, crowd around, to do honour to his ashes. Seldom have those who contend that Re- publics can be grateful, been fur- nished with a more remarkable in- stance in support of their opinion than the manner in which the citi- zens of the United States have treat- ed the memory of their political fa- ther. http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1800-02125.xml Sat, 01 Feb 1800 12:00:00 GMT http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1799-07299.xml (Continued from page 232.) http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1799-07299.xml Wed, 01 Jul 1970 12:00:00 GMT http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1799-06216.xml http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1799-06216.xml Mon, 01 Jun 1970 12:00:00 GMT http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1799-08376.xml http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1799-08376.xml Sat, 01 Aug 1970 12:00:00 GMT http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1800-08141a.xml http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1800-08141a.xml Fri, 01 Aug 1800 12:00:00 GMT http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1800-02128.xml ON perusing this Address, we could not forbear to remark a strain of sentiment very different from that of other performances; on the like occasion, which have come before us. The subject is the same, but the topics of argu- ment and illustration, as well as the manner in which they are treated, are greatly dissimilar. Dr. M. tells his hearers that he came not to de- liver the language of flattery and declamation to “tickle their ears” or to amuse their fancy with the flowers of rhetoric. His purpose is to talk with plainness and candour about independence, and the na- ture and characteristics of a repub- lican government. He does not, therefore, seek to gain their favour by flattering their prejudices, or to awaken their feelings by depicting the splendid attributes of national sovereignty. http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1800-02128.xml Sat, 01 Feb 1800 12:00:00 GMT
