prospects reached view
You had reached a pessimistic view about your company's prospects with the upcoming (copyright) case.
country religious years
I confess that for fifteen years my efforts in education, and my hopes of success in establishing a system of national education, have always been associated with the idea of coupling the education of this country with the religious communities which exist.
jobs people able
People who eat potatoes will never be able to perform their abilities in whatever job they choose to have.
religious body found
In Holland, they have come to precisely the same conclusion. There they have adopted a system of secular education, because they have found it impracticable to unite the religious bodies in any system of combined religious instruction.
military fall home
I therefore declare, that if you wish any remission of the taxation which falls upon the homes of the people of England and Wales, you can only find it by reducing the great military establishments, and diminishing the money paid to fighting men in time of peace.
office employment india
I have been particularly struck with the overwhelming evidence which is given as to the fitness of the natives of India for high offices and employments.
long abuse term
The landlords are not agriculturists; that is an abuse of terms which has been too long tolerated.
names coward world
I am not accustomed to pay fulsome compliments to the English, by telling them that they are superior to all the world; but this I can say, that they do not deserve the name of cowards.
war doors agreement
It has been one of my difficulties, in arguing this question out of doors with friends or strangers, that I rarely find any intelligible agreement as to the object of the war.
half welsh better-half
But it is my happiness to be half Welsh, and that the better half.
government emergencies england
I cannot separate the finances of India from those of England. If the finances of the Indian Government receive any severe and irreparable check, will not the resources of England be called upon to meet the emergency, and to supply the deficiency?
country war engagement
On the contrary, all the world would point to that nation as violating a treaty, by going to war with a country with whom they had engaged to enter into arbitration.
