Side 348 - ... bequeath the whole Spanish monarchy to the duke of Anjou, grandson of Louis XIV. 2. Such was the astonishment of all Europe at beholding a prince of the Bourbon family ascend the throne of Spain, that all the powers except the empire remained for some time in perfect tranquillity.

Side 441 - He carried all the virtues of heroes to an excess, at which they are as dangerous as their opposite vices. His resolution, hardened into obstinacy, occasioned his misfortunes in the Ukraine, and detained him five years in Turkey ; his liberality, degenerating into profusion, ruined Sweden ; his courage...
Side 173 - To maintain that the sun is placed immoveable in the centre of the world, is an opinion absurd in itself, false in philosophy, and formally heretical, because it is expressly Contrary to the Scriptures ; to maintain that the earth is not placed in the centre of the world, that it is not immoveable, and that it has even a daily motion of rotation is also an absurd proposition, false in philosophy, and at least erroneous in point of faith.

They took a list of all the vessels capable of making the voyage, and made a calculation of the numbers they could embark.
