226 ページ - I find I have but a few hours to live, but if it was the last moment, and that the power of utterance was leaving me, I would thank you from the bottom of my heart for your generous expressions of affection and forgiveness to me.

When a wild and furious assassin had made a deadly attempt upon a life of much public consequence, it was proposed to put him to the torture in order to discover his accomplices.

225 ページ - I know not whether this will be any extenuation of my offence — I know not whether it will be any extenuation of it to know, that if I had that situation in my power at this moment, I would relinquish it to devote my life to her happiness — I know not whether success would have blotted out the recollection of what I have done — but I know that a man, with the coldness of death on him, need not be made to feel any other coldness, and that he may be spared any addition to the misery he feels,...
268 ページ - Events have shown you that what they thought was just, and that what they did was indispensable. They thought they ought to govern themselves — they thought that at every hazard they ought to make the effort — they thought it more eligible to perish than to fail — and to the God of heaven I pray that the authority of so splendid an example may not be lost upon Ireland.
