Part 20

Licences accorded by the crown to carry slaves to America

Life of nations and which we call the Past

Like a man holding a wolf by the ears

Little army of Maurice was becoming the model for Europe

Little grievances would sometimes inflame more than vast

Local self-government which is the life-blood of liberty

Logic of the largest battalions

Logic is rarely the quality on which kings pride themselves

Logical and historical argument of unmerciful length

Long succession of so many illustrious obscure

Longer they delay it, the less easy will they find it

Look through the cloud of dissimulation

Look for a sharp war, or a miserable peace

Looking down upon her struggle with benevolent indifference

Lord was better pleased with adverbs than nouns

Loud, nasal, dictatorial tone, not at all agreeable

Louis XIII.

Loving only the persons who flattered him

Ludicrous gravity

Luther's axiom, that thoughts are toll-free

Lutheran princes of Germany, detested the doctrines of Geneva

Luxury had blunted the fine instincts of patriotism

Made peace--and had been at war ever since

Made no breach in royal and Roman infallibility

Made to swing to and fro over a slow fire

Magistracy at that moment seemed to mean the sword

Magnificent hopefulness

Maintaining the attitude of an injured but forgiving Christian
