a certain place where was a Den, and I laid me down in that
place to sleep: and, as I slept, I dreamed a dream. I dreamed,
and behold, I saw a man clothed with rags, standing in a certain
place, with his face from his own house, a book in his hand, and
a great burden upon his back. I looked, and saw him open the
book, and read therein; and, as he read, he wept, and trembled;
and, not being able longer to contain, he brake out with a
lamentable cry, saying, What shall I do? | | | Similar Items: | Find |

beyond the reach of many mortal frailties and weaknesses which
ordinary people cannot overcome. You do not know what it
is, at one blow, to be deserted by a lovely and fascinating
creature, and to fall a victim to the artifices of a villain, who had
the grin of cunning beneath the mask of friendship. I hope you
never may. | | | Similar Items: | Find |
| 258 | Author: | Brock: Douglass, William | Requires cookie* | | | Title: | A Discourse Concerning the Currencies of the British Plantations in America / by William Douglass | | | | Published: | 2000 | | | | Subjects: | University of Virginia Library, Text collection | UVA-LIB-Text | | | | Description: | The many Schemes at present upon the Anvil in Boston,
for emitting enormous Quantities of Paper Currencies; are the Occasion
of this Discourse. The Writer does not vainly pretend to dictate to
Government, or prescribe to Trade; but with a sincere Regard to the
publick Good, has taken some Pains, to collect, digest, and set in a
proper Light, several Facts and Political Experiences especially
relating to Paper Currencies; which tho' plain in themselves, are not
obvious to every Body. If any Expressions should sound harsh, they are
not to be understood as a Reflection upon this Province in general: It
was always my Opinion, That the Province of the
Massachusetts-Bay, is by far the most vigorous and promising
Plant (with proper Cultivation) of all the British Plantations; in the
best of Countries at Times, bad Administrations, and private evil Men of
Influence have prevailed. The Author is not a transient Person, who
from Humour or Caprice, or other Views may expose the Province; but is
by Inclination induced, and by Interest obliged to study the Good of the
Country. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

British settlements in North-America... / by William Douglass | | | | Published: | 2000 | | | | Subjects: | University of Virginia Library, Text collection | UVA-LIB-Text | | | | Description: | It is arrogant, in some Measure seditious, and a great Sin against
the divine Institution of Society; for any Person or Persons, to exclaim
against the Acts of Legislature; the following are only some private
Speculations, concerning the negotiating of the late
Cape-Breton Expedition Reimbursement Money, and the sudden
Transition from an immense base Paper-Currency, to that good and
universal Medium of Silver Money. | | | Similar Items: | Find |
