in_ me.--BULWER. Miscellaneous Examples for Correction. 1. Can you imagine Indians or a semi-civilized people engaged on a work like the canal connecting the Mediterranean and the Red seas? 2. In the friction between an employer and workman, it is commonly said that his profits are high. 3. None of them are in any wise willing to give his life for the life of his chief. 4. That which can be done with perfect convenience and without loss, is not always the thing that most needs to be done, or which we are most imperatively required to do. 5. Art is neither to be achieved by effort of thinking, nor explained by accuracy of speaking. 6. To such as thee the fathers owe their fame. 7. We tread upon the ancient granite that first divided the waters into a northern and southern ocean. 8. Thou tread'st, with seraphims, the vast abyss. 9. Eustace had slipped off his long cloak, thrown it over Amyas's head, and ran up the alley. 10. This narrative, tedious perhaps, but which the story renders necessary, may serve to explain the state of intelligence betwixt the lovers. 11. To the shame and eternal infamy of whomsoever shall turn back from the plow on which he hath laid his hand! 12. The noise of vast cataracts, raging storms, thunder, or artillery, awake a great and awful sensation in the mind. 13. The materials and ornaments ought neither to be white, nor green, nor yellow, nor blue, nor of a pale red. 14. This does not prove that an idea of use and beauty are the same thing, or that they are any way dependent on each other. 15. And were I anything but what I am, I would wish me only he. 16. But every man may know, and most of us do know, what is a just and unjust act. 17. You have seen Cassio and she together. 18. We shall shortly see which is the fittest object of scorn, you or me. 19. Richard glared round him with an eye that seemed to seek an enemy, and from which the angry nobles shrunk appalled. 20. It comes to whomsoever will put off what is foreign and proud. 21. The difference between the just and unjust procedure does not lie in the number of men hired, but in the price paid to them. 22. The effect of proportion and fitness, so far at least as they proceed from a mere consideration of the work itself, produce approbation, the acquiescence of the understanding. 23. When the glass or liquor are transparent, the light is sometimes softened in the passage.
