Examples

“When our readers have⟳ gone through this article, and have⟳ heard us declare⟳ our perfect conviction of its truth; when they have⟳ heard us say⟳, that it is agreeable, as far as it goes, with the enquiries which we have⟳ made, when they have⟳ further heard, that the scene of the brutal transaction was in a back room of the public-house above mentioned: that the parties had drawn the curtains to the room, but had left a part that the curtains did not cover⟳ but that might be seen through: that a little girl (vindicatress of her sex!) happening to go into the back court into which the window looked, Wondering to see⟳ the curtains drawn, had the curiosity to look⟳ in, where she saw⟳ the parties engaged in a way not to be described; that the little girl (better guardian of public morals than the "respectable" part of the press⟳) ran to the landlord, who came out with other persons with him, who were all witnesses of the fact, to that certain extent, at least, of which the Observer speaks; that after this, the landlord and others laudably went, dashed in the door, took the parties in the state of Achilles as far as nakedness was necessary to their intentions; that they then dragged them to the watch-house, in that very same state: when our readers have⟳ heard all this, they will naturally cry⟳ aloud, 'why is the name⟳ of this Bishop suppressed?'”

“Had the vindicatress of the 'Rights of Women' lived in these days (fifty years later), when the iron⟳ pen is the almost universal instrument of writing, she would have⟳ bestowed upon Time a less common material for recording his doings.”
