第 110 頁 - Time hath, my lord, a wallet at his back, Wherein he puts alms for oblivion, A great-sized monster of ingratitudes : Those scraps are good deeds past ; which are devoured As fast as they are made, forgot as soon As done.
第 50 頁 - England," says Horace Binney, (art. Edward Tilghman, Encyclopedia Amerkana, vol. xiv.,) ''and by each of them men have succeeded in public estimation to an almost equal extent. One of them, which may be called the old way, is a methodical study of the general system of law, and of its grounds and reasons, beginning with the fundamental law of estates and tenures, and pursuing the derivative branches in logical...

第 113 頁 - This is human nature, and shows that even first-rate talents require the occasional dew of public sympathy and praise. Full public justice was not done to Tilghman, Lewis, Ingersoll, Rawle, and Dallas, who occupied the front seats at the Bar of Philadelphia at the close of the last and the beginning of the present century.
