You also fancied, in your pride, Which truly is tarnation, Them British locks of yourn defied The rogues of all creation ; But Chubbs...
Seite 271 - We rejoice that it bids fair to become the Standard Dictionary to be used by the numerous millions of people who are to inhabit the United States.
Seite 195 - ... for the purpose of containing colonies of these birds. In this state, where they enjoy a perfect freedom of action, and are nearly dependant upon their own exertions for support, they can scarcely be called reclaimed, much less domesticated.
Seite 195 - ... consider them all as having originated from a few accidental varieties of the common pigeon, and not from any cross of that bird with other species, no signs or marks whatever of such...
