HISTORY UNITED NETHERLANDS, 1590-92 by Motley[#63][jm63v10.txt]4863

Anatomical study of what has ceased to exist

Artillery

Bomb-shells were not often used although known for a century

Court fatigue, to scorn pleasure

For us, looking back upon the Past, which was then the Future

Hardly an inch of French soil that had not two possessors

Holy institution called the Inquisition

Inevitable fate of talking castles and listening ladies

Life of nations and which we call the Past

Often necessary to be blind and deaf

Picturesqueness of crime

Royal plans should be enforced adequately or abandoned entirely

Toil and sacrifices of those who have preceded us

Use of the spade

Utter disproportions between the king's means and aims

Valour on the one side and discretion on the other

Walk up and down the earth and destroy his fellow-creatures

We have the reputation of being a good housewife

Weapons
