Not that I mean to convey, that any such thing could happen to your Lordship; but, you have done enough.Let others follow your examples; they will be remembered to the latest posterity....
Their works will soon be forgotten, and their memories when dead, will not be deemed exceeding precious; but the works of Mrs. Rowe can never perish, while exalted piety and genuine goodness have any existence in the world.Her memory will be ever honoured, and her name dear to latest posterity....
Blessed with governments the happiest which the world ever knew, with no distinct orders in society or divided interests in any portion of the vast territory over which their dominion extends, we have every motive to cling together which can animate a virtuous and enlightened people.The great object is to preserve these blessings, and to hand them down to the latest posterity.Our experience ought to satisfy us that our progress under the most correct and provident policy will not be exempt from danger....
He used the materials, mixing a great deal of his own with them.In a work which is sure of going down to the latest posterity, I thought it material to set facts to rights, as much as possible.The author was well disposed; but could not entirely get the better of his original bias....
I shall not go till the last moment; my only fear is of France.I cannot think in any case there would be found men willing to damn themselves to latest posterity by bombarding Rome.Other cities they may treat thus, careless of destroying the innocent and helpless, the babe and old grandsire who cannot war against them....
Had the principles of any of these acts been first exerted on English ground, they would probably have expired as soon as they touched it.But by being removed from our persons, they have rooted in our laws, and the latest posterity will taste the fruits of them....
We may confidently assert, relative to the little house and garden of Slough, that it is the spot of all the world where the greatest number of discoveries have been made.The name of that village will never perish; science will transmit it religiously to our latest posterity.I will avail myself of this opportunity to rectify a mistake, of which ignorance and idleness wish to make a triumphant handle, or, at all events, to wield in their cause as an irresistible justification....
May the freedom of election be preserved, the trial by jury maintained, and the liberty of the press secured to the latest posterity.May the tree of liberty flourish round the globe, and every human being partake of the fruits....
After we know one we know all of them; and after we have made one, we can have no scruple as to the rest.This circumstance alone preserves the evidence of history, and will perpetuate the memory of the present age to the latest posterity.If all the long chain of causes and effects, which connect any past event with any volume of history, were composed of parts different from each other, and which it were necessary for the mind distinctly to conceive, it is impossible we should preserve to the end any belief or evidence....
Homer in particular had already composed his two great poems, rendering the peculiarities of his countrymen familiar to the latest posterity.The consequence of this is, that the wonderful things of early Greece are even more frequent than the record of its sober facts....
When it failed to fulfil its end, and, instead of affording protection, was converted into the means of oppressing the colonies, he did not hesitate to draw his sword, and head the great movement by which that union was forever severed, and the independence of these States established.This was the great and crowning glory of his life, which has spread his fame over the whole globe, and will transmit it to the latest posterity.Nor can the plan proposed by the distinguished Senator from Kentucky, nor that of the administration, save the Union....
How exceedingly common, and how bitter is the outcry against our first parent, for the mischief which he not only brought upon himself, but entailed upon his latest posterity!It was by his wilful rebellion against God "that sin entered into the world."...
Nothing can be more enriched, more finished than this structure; which, though far from diminutive, is in a manner lost at the foot of the Campanile.This enormous mass seems to promise a very long duration, and will probably carry down the fame of St. Mark and his Lion to the latest posterity.Both appear in great state towards its summit, and have nothing superior, but an archangel perched on the topmost pinnacle, and pointing to the skies....
His majestick expression would have carried down to the latest posterity the glorious achievements of his country with the same fervent glow which they produced on the mind of the time.He would have been under no temptation to deviate in any degree from truth, which he held very sacred, or to take a licence, which a learned divine told me he once seemed, in a conversation, jocularly to allow to historians....
As a poet he was deficient in originality and creative power, and thus was inferior to his prototype, Dryden, but as a literary artist, and brilliant declaimer satirist and moralizer in verse he is still unrivaled.He is the English Horace, and will as surely descend with honors to the latest posterity....
