Seite 320 - ... they imagined that the soldiers were joking ; and, being in high spirits on account of the promise of the Nabob to spare their lives, they laughed and jested at the absurdity of the notion. They soon discovered their mistake. They expostulated ; they entreated ; but in vain. The guards threatened to cut down all who hesitated.

Seite 313 - I have of the gentleman, he deserved and might expect from his conduct everything as it fell out : a man of an undaunted resolution, of a cool temper, and of a presence of mind which never left him in the greatest danger : born a soldier, for, without a military education of any sort, or much conversing with any of the profession, from his judgment and good sense, — he led on an army like an experienced officer and a brave soldier, with a prudence that certainly warranted success.
Seite 296 - Captain. It might have been expected, that every Englishman who takes any interest in any part of history would be curious to know how a handful of his countrymen, separated from their home by an immense ocean, subjugated, in the course of a few years, one of the greatest empires in the world.
