Seite 310 - had received our boats, each of which was capable of containing one hundred and twenty men, I ordered one of them to be rowed about the water, in order to find out the most convenient place for landing upon the enemy ; which they perceiving, thought fit, by a timely submission, to prevent the danger that threatened them...
Seite 23 - A superb dome, one hundred and twenty-five feet in height, surmounts the whole, on the top of which is a statue of Hope resting on her anchor, sixteen feet high. The north front has a portico of four pillars in the centre, but no pediment.
Seite 20 - ... which is rusticated and unperforated by any aperture, a circumstance that gives a peculiar and appropriate character to this structure, while it adds greatly to its strength. The western elevation does not differ much from that on the north, except that the portico has only four columns and no pediment ; and that there is only one window on each side, in the inter-pilaster adjoining the portico, the other being without any aperture whatever. The east front, which is in Exchange-court, has only...
Seite 321 - ... diminishes on the inside, above the level of the present floor, three inches. Its masonry is greatly superior to that of the church. The stones are large, regular and, well dressed. The greater part of the facing stone of the north side has been unfortunately taken away, for the erection of tombs in the adjacent burying ground. Within and without, the spoliator has been effectually at work, aided by those worst of pests — the gold seekers; fellows whose unhallowed dreams are most fatal to our...
Seite 439 - It boils up in the centre, and a continued stream flows from it, about eight feet wide and two deep in the driest season, and runs about four miles per hour. In rainy weather the flow of water is so much increased, that its banks and all the low ground in its immediate vicinity are overflown.
Seite 230 - Its style is that of a lake of far greater dimensions; the hills which bound it being lofty and bold and rugged; with a variety of character not found in many, of even far greater magnitude and extent.
Seite 329 - Before the sun has ascended to his meridian height, the mountains bordering upon the lower lake are left in shadow. Their surface then appears tame and unvaried, and their summit, if it be in clear weather, forms a hard outline against the azure sky ; but as the day declines, the sun imperceptibly glides across the line of the great chain, and darts his rays on that side of the mountains which lies next to the lake. All their bold irregularities are then revealed ; their protruding rocks ; their...
Seite 390 - It is about a mile in length and half a mile in breadth. It is composed chiefly of trap, with here and there portions of sandstone.
Seite 329 - Occasionally an effect is produced by the setting sun on the range of mountains bounding the lake, not less beautiful than rare, and totally different from what I remember to have seen in other mountainous countries ; though doubtless, in particular situations, the same appearance may resnlt from the variations of the atmosphere.
Seite 310 - Whilst this was doing, I employed that part of the army which was with me in fortifying a neck of land, where I designed to leave a party to keep in the Irish on this side, that I might be at liberty, with the greatest part of the horse and foot, to look after the enemy abroad, and to receive and convoy such boats, and other things necessary, as the commissioners sent us by sea. When we had received our boats, each of which was capable of containing...
