    HDC 11.43 13 ...when, presently...parties, with grants of land, straggled into the country to truck with the Indians and to clear the land for their own benefit, the Governor and freemen in Boston found it neither desirable nor possible to control the trade and practices of these farmers.

    AsSu 11.248 4 Many years ago, when Mr. Webster was challenged in Washington to a duel by one of these [Southern] madcaps, his friends came forward with prompt good sense and said such a thing was not to be thought of; Mr. Webster's life was the property of his friends and of the whole country...
    AsSu 11.251 4 ...the third crime [Sumner] stands charged with, is, that his speeches were written before they were spoken; which, of course, must be true in Sumner's case, as it was true...of every first-rate speaker that ever lived.

    EdAd 11.384 25 The aspect this country presents is a certain maniacal activity...
    EdAd 11.385 9 One would say there is nothing colossal in the country but its geography and its material activities;...

    LLNE 10.327 16 Anciently, society was in the course of things.
    LLNE 10.339 14 I attribute much importance to two papers of Dr. Channing, one on Milton and one on Napoleon, which were the first specimens in this country of that large criticism which in England had given power and fame to the Edinburgh Review. They were...of course immediately fruitful in provoking emulation which lifted the style of Journalism.

    LLNE 10.366 10 It was very gently said [at Brook Farm] that people on whom beforehand all persons would put the utmost reliance were not responsible. They saw the necessity that the work must be done, and did it not, and it of course fell to be done by the few religious workers.
    LLNE 10.366 18 Of course every visitor [to Brook Farm] found that there was a comic side to this Paradise of shepherds and shepherdesses.

    Thor 10.456 9 It seemed as if [Thoreau's] first instinct on hearing a proposition was to controvert it, so impatient was he of the limitations of our daily thought. This habit, of course, is a little chilling to the social affections;...
    Thor 10.457 6 I said [to Thoreau]...who does not see with regret that his page is not solid with a right materialistic treatment, which delights everybody? Henry objected, of course...
    Thor 10.464 24 ...[Thoreau] said, one day, The other world is all my art;...I do not use it as a means. This was the muse and genius that ruled his opinions, conversation, studies, work and course of life.

    Thor 10.481 20 [Thoreau] thought the scent a more oracular inquisition than the sight,-more oracular and trustworthy. The scent, of course, reveals what is concealed from the other senses.
