Seite 387 - For there appeared unto them an horse with a terrible rider upon him, and adorned with a very fair covering, and he ran fiercely and smote at Heliodorus with his fore-feet, and it seemed that he that sat upon the horse had complete harness of gold.
Seite 4 - Elijah mocked them, and said, Cry aloud: for he is a god; either he is talking, or he is pursuing, or he is in a journey, or peradventure he sleepeth, and must be awaked. And they cried aloud, and cut themselves after their manner with knives and lancets, till the blood gushed out upon them.
Seite 54 - As long as the Coliseum stands, Rome shall stand ; when the Coliseum falls, Rome will fall; when Rome falls, the world will fall.
Seite i - ROME in the NINETEENTH CENTURY. Containing a complete Account of the Ruins of the Ancient City, the Remains of the Middle Ages, and the Monuments of Modern Times.
Seite iii - Alas ! my friends ! Why mourn you thus ? let not a private loss Afflict your hearts. Tis Rome requires our tears. The mistress of the world, the seat of empire, The nurse of heroes, the delight of gods, That humbled the proud tyrants of the earth, And set the nations free, Rome is no more.

Seite 220 - Thursday : the heads of St. Peter and St. Paul, encased in silver busts, set with jewels ; a lock of the Virgin Mary's hair, and a piece of her petticoat ; a robe of the Savior's sprinkled with his blood ; some drops of his blood in a phial ; some of the water which flowed from the wound in his side ; some of the sponge...
Seite 153 - Their formation is lost in the earliness of time, and they will probably last till time be' no more; till the earth, and " all that it inherits," have passed away. In them, art seems for once to have vied in durability with the works of nature. Formed of the most imperishable...
Seite 255 - Twenty and even thirty thousand years of indulgences may be bought at no exorbitant rate in many of the churches—so that it is amazing what a vast quantity of treasure may be amassed in the other world, with very little industry in this, by those who are avaricious of this spiritual wealth, into which, indeed, the dross or riches of this world may be converted with the happiest facility imaginable. We are told that ' it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man...
