Product Description
The _Zenobia_--A1 at Lloyd's--was a beautiful little clipper barque of 376 tons register, and so exquisitely fine were her lines that her cargo-carrying capacity amounted to but a few tons more than her register tonnage; in fact, the naval architect who designed her had been instructed to ignore altogether the question of cargo capacity, and to give his whole attention to the matter of speed, and most faithfully had he carried out his instructions. ...

Product Description
It was a little after seven o'clock on June 19 in the year of Our Lord 1577, and business was practically over for the day. The taverns and alehouses were, of course, still open, and would so remain for three or four hours to come, for the evening was then, as it is now, their most busy time; but nearly all the shops in Fore Street of the good town of Devonport were closed, one of the few exceptions being that of Master John Summers, "Apothecary, and Dealer in all sorts of Herbs and Simples", as was announced by the sign which swung over the still open door of the little, low-browed establishment. ...

The one--a tall, well-built, and exceedingly handsome man, with blond curly hair, and beard and moustache to match--was entering the building; while the other--a much shorter and stouter figure, with a cast of features which rendered his German origin unmistakable--was standing upon the top step, puffing at a cigar, as he leisurely drew on his gloves preparatory to his emergence upon the street. ...

The advantage, the necessity of brotherly love and forgiveness, must come equally home to ourselves ; and the argument by which St. Paul enforces his precept applies equally to us and to all Christians as it did to the Colossians -- even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye. Christ has forgiven us for something which we had done against him, and we are exhorted to behave in the same manner toward each other, i. e. to forgive those who have done any thing against us. The text will naturally recall to us many other passages of Scripture in which we are exhorted to forgive one another, upon the same principle ofreceiving forgiveness from God. But the argument of St. Paul in the text is not exactly of this kind : he exhorts the Colossians to forgiveness, and holds out to them the forgiveness of Christ, not as a boon which was hereafter to be received, but as one which had been rece... ...

In order to form some notion of the difficulties which they had to encounter, we will consider the treatment which our Saviour received from three descriptions of persons; the generality of the people throughout the country; the Jewish authorities at Jerusalem; and the representatives of the Roman government.If we view the Jewish populace at different periods, we shall see them at one time anxious to make Jesus a king, at another compelling Pilate by their clamours to put him to death. The former was their own spontaneous impulse: they were excited to the latter by their priests. From both we may perhaps argue, that their feelings towards Jesus had little connexion with religion. They had seen his miracles; they knew him to be kind and beneficent; they heard him expose the vices of their superiors; all which excited their curiosity; and wherever he appeared, they could hardly fail to listen to him with pleasure. As many of them as were zealous for political freedom, might think that this was the end which he had ultimately in view; but when he came up to one festival after another, still with the same few obscureI. ict. ii.] Opposition... ...
