- So long as order prevails so long, I think we could, if we deemed it expedient, by coming forward distinctly to countenance the weaker party at present, give it the pre ponderance. (en)
- From that day may be reckoned, the commencement of a counter-revolution and of those intrigues of the Kala Pandes which eventually succeeded so well in overthrowing of their rivals and in repaying the cruelties that they themselves suffered at his [Bhimsen's] hands. (en)
- Thus, has perished, the great and able statesman who for more than thirty years had ruled this kingdom with more than regal sway, just two years after his sudden fall from power in 1837-prior to which event the uniform success of nearly all his measures had been no less remarkable than the energy and sagacity which so much promoted that success.

- It is needless to trace further his cruel persecutions. Like a convicted felon, he lingered in his dungeon during his few remaining days; his ears were assailed from day to day by with threats of renewed torments-with being exposed plunged up to the neck in a heap of human ordure or filth, with having his wife paraded naked through the city-till, totally worn out by accumulated torments, the wretched man anticipated further malice by committing suicide.
