The man spoke to Nell, asking what was ...

... at the outset, then, that Baltimore is not in any sense to be regarded as a suburb of Washington.

... a struggle with the hierarchy of the Established Church. It was not so much that they demanded more and more reform, with the growing appetite of revolution, but that as long as bishops existed, nothing that had been wrested from them was secure. The Puritans could not exist in safety side by side with a church whose principle was that there was no church without the apostolic succession.

As far as mere readers are concerned, it may indeed claim its hundreds as against the tens of intrinsically more important rivals. There are obvious reasons for this success. Mrs. Gaskell was herself a popular novelist, who commanded a very ...

But he ought to know too how to pray, without asking God to alter those laws, as presumptuous and superstitious ...
