He built bridges over the rivers, raised causeways over the marshes, opened roads, adorned the country and the towns with new buildings, and by many salutary regulations, acted the part of a just, though a merciless, prince.

Leaving that place in the morning, they took an easterly direction, and continued to ride across a plain of cornfields, near the banks of the river, in a rich country; sometimes over stone causeways, and between the hedges of gardens and olive-groves, until they were stopped by the sea.

You can get to the church from any point of the compass, but access to it may mean anythingperhaps, a wandering up courts and passages, a turning round the corners of old narrow streets, an unsavoury acquaintance with the regions of trampery, and an uncomfortable perambulation along corn-torturing causeways and clumsily paved roads.

The generals of the empire pierced the forests of the Ardennes with causeways, and founded towns in the heart of the country.

The khan likewise caused great causeways to be constructed along the banks of this prodigious canal, for the conveniency of travelling by land, and for towing the vessels.

We shall there see causeways raised, bridges of a good architecture built, and, in short, all the measure of good government and police, in the greatest part of the country, carried into effect, yet the whole is due to the exertions, apostolic labors and pure patriotism of the ministers of religion.

17° S., a journey of 200 leagues, all upon causeways of stone, with bridges wherever necessary, and having lodging-places at proper distances for the conveniency of the Yngas, by which name the kings of Peru are distinguished.

The armies of the Peruvians are very numerous, as they often bring more than 100,000 men into the field; and they lodge on these causeways, as already mentioned, where they always have abundance of provisions and other necessaries, as is said to be the custom in China.

This is, the comparatively common phenomenon of basaltic columns and 'Giant's Causeways.'

All of these roads except the first were formed merely by cutting down the trees and throwing logs across, so as to make causeways over such parts as were otherwise impassable.

The road was good, but narrow, in few places room for two to pass except by turning out, skirting the beach at the water's-edge, crossing causeways over inlets, and in admirable curves clinging to the hillsides, which bathed in the sea.

" They were indeed a singular contrast as they walked their horses together through the narrow and crowded causeways of the Parisian streets.

To open an immediate communication between Boston and the university, the New Bridge was built on the plan of Mr. Cox during his absence in Ireland; a great undertaking, including the causeways, which are covered in the same manner as the water.

3 Taste spreads, her refinements around, Enriching her favourite Land With prospects of beautified ground, Where, cinctur'd, the spruce Villas stand; On the causeways, that never are foul, Marshal'd bands may with measur'd pace tread; The soft Car of Voluptuousness roll, And the proud Steed of Greatness parade.

To win away his last centto humble himto ruin himand then to break him in two and kick the pieces through the San Juan causeways, as per programme!

It might be secured against the inundations which take place in the rainy season, by erecting little causeways a metre in height, at the most.

Moreover, on the causeways and terraces, large-headed creatures similar to the greater winged flies, but wingless, were visible, hopping busily upon their hand-like tangle of tentacles.

Mr. Cave was unable to ascertain if the winged Martians were the same as the Martians who hopped about the causeways and terraces, and if the latter could put on wings at will.

According to the Higher Space Hypothesis they are due to varying potencies of movement in the secret causeways and corridors of space.

The few roads run straight and strict upon their reed-fringed causeways; and there is an infinite sense of tranquil relief to the eye in the vast green levels, with their faint parallel lines of dyke or drift, just touched into prominence here and there by the clump of poplars surrounding a lonely grange, or the high-shouldered roof of a great pumping-mill.

A man of talent and enterprise, Mr Macadam, proposed a means of getting quit of one of the objections to the granite causeways.

And it is equally evident that if wood were kept unpolluted by the liquid mudinto which the surface of the other causeways is converted in the driest weather by water cartsthe slipperiness would be effectually cured.

This is certainly much cheaper than Macadam, and we should think more economical than causeways.

It seems to me strange that where the labour of so many hands might be commanded, piers, and wharves, and causeways, are not thrown out (wooden ones, of course, I mean), wherever the common traffic to or from different parts of the plantation is thus impeded by the daily rise and fall of the river; the trouble and expense would be nothing, and the gain in convenience very considerable.

The capital of the Mexican Republic stood in the midst of marshes, and could be reached only over narrow causeways which joined it to the solid land.
