Side 148 - Some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested; that is, some books are to be read only in parts; others to be read, but not curiously; and some few to be read wholly, and with diligence and attention.
Side 28 - Little deeds of kindness, Little words of love, Make our earth an Eden, Like the heaven above.
Side 147 - Sink or swim, live or die, survive or perish, I give my hand, and my heart, to this vote.
Side 74 - Monosyllables, and words accented on the last syllable, ending with a single consonant preceded by a single vowel, double that consonant, when they take another syllable beginning with a vowel...
Side 144 - And the king was much moved, and went up to the chamber over the gate, and wept: and as he went, thus he said, O my son Absalom, my son, my son Absalom!
Side 145 - ... courtiers, and merchants have partners ; the voluptuous have companions, and the wicked have accomplices : none but the virtuous can have friends.
Side 144 - Think not that strength lies in the big round word, Or that the brief and plain must needs be weak. To whom can this be true who once has heard The cry for help, the tongue that all men speak, When want or woe or fear is in the throat, So that each word gasped out is like a shriek Pressed from the sore heart, or a strange wild note, Sung by some fay or fiend...
Side 7 - I'll learn to say the rest; This is high and this is low, Only see how much I know. This is narrow, this is wide, Something else I know beside. Down is where my feet you see, Up is where my head should be; Here's my nose, and here my eyes, Don't you think I'm getting wise?
Side 8 - I'm getting wise? Now my eyes wide open keep, Shut them when I go to sleep. Here's my mouth, and here's my chin, Soon to read I shall begin; Ears I have, as you can see, Of much use they are to me! This my right hand is, you see, This my left, as all agree; Overhead I raise them high, Clap! Clap! Clap! I let them fly. If a lady in the street, Or my teacher I should meet, From my head my cap I take, And a bow like this I make. Now I fold my arms up so, To my seat I softly go.
Side 73 - The final consonant of any word accented on the last syllable, if preceded by a single vowel, is doubled before a suffix beginning with a vowel; as, debar, debarring.
