At once the moral condition of the house improved, and when it was visited in 1262 everything was reported to be satisfactory, and unlike any other Cluniac house in England this of Lewes was not in debt.

The Saxons granted quarter to the defeated enemy on condition that they went to the ford over the River Alre

When work first began to fall off, the husband told the visitors who came to inquire into their condition, that he had a little money saved up, and he could manage a while.

Their only source of maintenance was the usual grant of relief from the committee, but this girl's condition needed further consideration.

He promised to see to the relief of her condition immediately and she thanked him, but so feebly, that it seemed to me as if she had not strength enough left to care much whether she was relieved or not.

I know that now many who have concealed their starving condition are ferreted out and relieved as far as possible.

Why should not they be reminded that these girls in cotton gowns and wooden clogs are wending their way towards the same heavenor, alas, towards the same hellwhither wend all the daughters of Eve, no matter what their outer condition and dress?

Previous to this, the "Lancashire Lad" had made a private appeal, by letter, to the Lord Mayor, in which he said:- "Local means are nearly exhausted, and I am convinced that if we have not help from without, our condition will soon be more desperate than I or any one else who possesses human feelings can wish it to become.

But that will be by no means the measure of the condition of things two or three months hence, because every additional rate forces out of existence a large amount of saleable property; and the more you increase your rates the more you diminish the area over which those rates are to be productive.

If any one tries to improve the condition of his peasantsthey were happier a thousand times as serfsthe bureaucrats of Petersburg mark him down and he is forced to leave the country.

This is, perhaps, the least inviting condition of society that belongs to any country that can claim to be free and removed from barbarism.

The third and last condition of society in a "new country," is that in which the influence of the particular causes enumerated ceases, and men and things come within the control of more general and regular laws.

Templeton was properly in this equivocal condition, for while the third generation of the old settlers were in active life, so many passers-by came and went, that the influence of the latter nearly neutralized that of time and the natural order of things.

But America did not contain two of the same sex, years, and social condition, less alike in their opinions, or it might be said their prejudices, than the two cousins.

With her, even titular princes and dukes had no estimation, merely as princes and dukes; and, as her quick mind glanced over the long catalogue of artificial social gradations and she found Grace actually attaching an importance to the equivocal and purely conventional condition of an English baronet, a strong sense of the ludicrous connected itself with the idea.
