He was seized with the fever as we left Moscow, and was so ill this evening that we could not remove him from the wagon belonging to the wardrobe service in which he had been made as comfortable as possible.He died there in the night, much to be regretted by all who knew him....
Relying upon the acts of Congress which held out to them the strong probability, if not the certainty, of receiving this installment, they have in some instances adopted measures with which its retention may seriously interfere.That such a condition of things should have occurred is much to be regretted.It is not the least among the unfortunate results of the disasters of the times; and it is for Congress to devise a fit remedy, if there be one....
Slowly, almost imperceptibly, as it becomes accustomed to its new position, it begins to elongate; the fringes creep softly out, spreading gradually all their ramifications, till one end of the animal seems crowned with feathery, crimson sea-weeds of the most delicate tracery.It is much to be regretted that these lower marine animals are not better known.The plumage of the tropical birds, the down on the most brilliant butterfly's wing, are not more beautiful in coloring than the hues of many Radiates, and there is no grace of motion surpassing the movements of some of them in their native element....
They are not buildings; for you can scarcely say a thing is built where every measurement is in clamant disproportion with its neighbour.They belong to no style of art, only to a form of business much to be regretted.Why should it be cheaper to erect a structure where the size of the windows bears no rational relation to the size of the front?...

In 1867, on the resignation of Chief Justice Bigelow, the office of Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Massachusetts was offered by Governor Bullock to Mr. Paine, who, not wishing to give up his large and profitable practice at the bar, declined to accept.This decision, though a natural one, is much to be regretted by the citizens of this state.Coming from an eminently judicial mind, his decisions, had he sat on the bench, would have been models of close, cogent reasoning, clearness, and brevity, worthy of the best days of the Massachusetts judiciary....
However, I believe that is quite a common occurrence nowadays and that they have to take in extra copies of THE TIMES at all the clubs in St. James's Street; there are so many sons who won't have anything to do with their fathers, and so many fathers who won't speak to their sons.I think myself, it is very much to be regretted....
He never spoke, but died almost immediately afterwards.It is much to be regretted that the descent was ever allowed to take place.The aeronauts themselves were for some time in a state of imminent peril....
After a month passed in discussions to which no third person appears to have been privy, Charles declared himself satisfied of the expediency of the proposed measure, and resolved to carry it into effect.It is much to be regretted that Temple has left us no account of these conferences....
It is much to be regretted that in English we have no clear corresponding word.The word "capitalist" is not uncommonly employed to do duty in this connection, but this is a source of much confusion....
The ceremony was to be solemnized at seven, for the mail-steamer from Jersey to England was due in Guernsey at nine, and there were no other means of quitting the island later in the day.Under these circumstances there could be no formal wedding-breakfast, a matter not much to be regretted.There would not be too much time, so Johanna said, for the bride to change her wedding-dress at her own house for a suitable travelling-costume, and the rest of the day would be our own....
Behind the church there is a chapel begun by Don Emmanuel, and which he was never able to finish.This is much to be regretted, to judge by what already exists.There is some sculpture of the most extraordinary delicacy -- almost like a spider's web....
The "Life" is very full but is in its present form a comparatively late production; it was transcribed by Murphy between 1740 and 1750.It is much to be regretted that the scribe tells us nothing of his original.Murphy, but the way, seems to have specialised to some extent in saint's Lives and to have imbued his disciples with something of the same taste....
Her engines and boilers, too, have had a good overhaul by Mr. Jackson, and this may account in part for this improvement.It is much to be regretted that the scheme of using the ship for her legitimate purpose has not been carried out....
Now, I too had so often thought it a pity, that, in the singular kind of quarrel with myself which I was always carrying on, I was half inclined to shed tears of vexation and distress when Biddy gave utterance to her sentiment and my own.I told her she was right, and I knew it was much to be regretted, but still it was not to be helped....
