Pagina 96 - The Northumberland Garland or Newcastle Nightingale, a matchless collection of famous songs.
Pagina 26 - O'er the wan heaps; while airy voices talk Along the glimm'ring walls; or ghostly shape At distance seen, invites with beck'ning hand My lonesome steps, through the far-winding vaults.
Pagina 38 - British topography : or an historical account of what has been done for illustrating the topographical antiquities of Great Britain and Ireland.
