Nor would that view be consistent with the judgment of so competent an authority as Paulin Paris, implied in his calling Rustician a nom recommandable in old French literature, and his speaking of him as "versed in the secrets of the French Romance Tongue."[13] — from The Travels of Marco Polo — Volume 1 by Rustichello of Pisa
He also adorned his own house and his gardens with the curiosities brought from those temples, together with the houses he lay at when he traveled all over Italy; whence he did not scruple to give a command that the statue of Jupiter Olympius, so called because he was honored at the Olympian games by the Greeks, which was the work of Phidias the Athenian, should be brought to Rome. — from Antiquities of the Jews by Flavius Josephus
just ordinary suburban children
They were just ordinary suburban children, and they lived with their Father and Mother in an ordinary red-brick-fronted villa, with coloured glass in the front door, a tiled passage that was called a hall, a bath-room with hot and cold water, electric bells, French windows, and a good deal of white paint, and 'every modern convenience', as the house-agents say. — from The Railway Children by E. (Edith) Nesbit
jurisdiction of such cases
To unite the jurisdiction of such cases with the ordinary jurisdiction, must have a tendency to unsettle the general rules, and to subject every case that arises to a special determination; while a separation of the one from the other has the contrary effect of rendering one a sentinel over the other, and of keeping each within the expedient limits. — from The Federalist Papers by Alexander Hamilton

joy or sorrow confided
Therefore it is good for this poor, sinful woman, that she hath an infant immortality, a being capable of eternal joy or sorrow, confided to her care—to be trained up by her to righteousness, to remind her, at every moment, of her fall, but yet to teach her, as if it were by the Creator's sacred pledge, that, if she bring the child to heaven, the child also will bring its parents thither! — from The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne

judgment of such Court
THE LECTURE I. In my first lecture on the League of Nations I recommended the following three rules to be laid down by a League of Nations: Firstly, every State must submit all judicial disputes to an International Court of Justice and must abide by the judgment of such Court. — from The League of Nations and Its Problems: Three Lectures by L.

Jurisdiction of separate courts
Difficulty of determining the Jurisdiction of separate courts of Justice in Confederation.—The Courts of the Union obtained the Right of fixing their own Jurisdiction.—In what Respect this Rule attacks the Portion of Sovereignty reserved to the several States.—The Sovereignty of these States restricted by the Laws, and the Interpretation of the Laws.—Consequently, the Danger of the several States is more apparent than real. — from American Institutions and Their Influence by Alexis de Tocqueville
