Page 54 - D'ye mind me, a sailor should be every inch All as one as a piece of the ship, And with her brave the world without offering to flinch, From the moment the anchor's a-trip.
Page 309 - ... king's great seal. This officer has now great authority in all the countries of Europe. The Lord High Chancellor of England is the first judicial officer of the crown ; and first lay person of the state, after the blood royal. He is created neither by writ nor patent, but by the mere delivery of the great seal into his custody. In like manner, the act of taking away the seal by the king determines the office.
