The application was rejected because of the inability to furnish evidence to prove that the death had any relation to the naval service of the deceased.I am unable to see how any other conclusion could have been reached.The information furnished by the report of the committee to whom this bill was referred and derived from other data before me absolutely fails to connect the death of Commodore Marchand with any incident of his naval service.…Cited from Messages and Papers of Grover Cleveland, Ed. by James D.

Leipzig was occupied by the French; Marshal Davoust was left there as commandant, with power of life and death, and all the other privileges of a military governor; and in the deputy-registrar of the law-court he found the man for the post of provisional chief of the police "of public safety."Who kept the public safe from the police I am unable to say.Fighting was going on perpetually in the neighbourhood; the dead and dying lay scattered in all directions; the stench bred epidemics more murderous than all Napoleon's cannon.…Cited from Richard Wagner, Composter of Operas, by John F.

I am unable to decide whether he does or does not love me.In New York he lives his life among the artists and fashionable people with whom his highly successful profession throws him, and I don't see why he cares to come back here where he was born and reared, in pursuit of a woman like me.…Cited from The Heart's Kingdom, by Maria Thompson Daviess

There are also many places above this where the river, in its zigzag course, forms such complete peninsulas, as to be easier cut through at the necks than to remove the obstructions from the bends -- which if done, would also lessen the distance.What the cost of this work would be, I am unable to say.It is probable, however, that it would not be greater than is common to streams of the same length.…Cited from Lincoln's Inaugurals, Addresses and Letters (Selections), by Lincoln

You will not expect more from me on this subject, as my residence here has been short, and I can only be said to catch a few marking features flying.I am unable to give you a picture at full length.Nothing astonishes me so much as to find their manners so little changed by their intercourse with the Europeans; they seem to have learnt nothing of us but excess in drinking.…Cited from The History of Emily Montague, by Frances Brooke
