หน้า 382 - Circular mouldings likewise gird it to a considerable height, above which there are ornaments in stucco not unlike the leaves of a Corinthian capital ; and the whole is crowned by a Tee, or umbrella of open iron-work, from which rises a rod with a gilded pennant.
หน้า 25 - The coasts are in general rugged and precipitous, presenting in many places scenes truly grand and magnificent, vast rocks of various heights, dreadfully rugged and broken, opposing their rude fronts to all the fury of a tempestuous ocean, which, in some places, has formed great detached pillars ; in others, has excavated grand natural arches and caverns, that mock all human magnificence...
หน้า 323 - ... molasses. The butter being soon melted by the heat of the pudding mixes with the sugar or molasses, and forms a sauce, which, being confined in the excavation made for it, occupies the middle of the plate.
หน้า 382 - ... appears to have been taken from the ditch ; there being no other excavation in the city, or in its neighbourhood, that could have afforded a tenth part of the quantity.
หน้า 11 - ... exuberant descriptions which have sometimes been given of these delightful spots. The not unfrequent pressure of want, even in Otaheite, mentioned in Captain Cook's last voyage, has undeceived us with regard to the most fertile of all these islands; and from the Missionary voyage it appears that, at certain times of the year, when the bread-fruit is out of season, all suffer a temporary scarcity.
