1 His words had a strange effect upon me.
2 I, not in deed, but in effect, was the true murderer.
3 I can hardly describe to you the effect of these books.
4 This book had a far different effect upon me from the Sorrows of Werter.
5 I trod heaven in my thoughts, now exulting in my powers, now burning with the idea of their effects.
6 I had now neglected my promise for some time, and I feared the effects of the daemon's disappointment.
7 He endeavoured to soothe me as a nurse does a child and reverted to my tale as the effects of delirium.
8 As I sat, a train of reflection occurred to me which led me to consider the effects of what I was now doing.
9 I remembered the effect that the view of the tremendous and ever-moving glacier had produced upon my mind when I first saw it.
10 The sight of the awful and majestic in nature had indeed always the effect of solemnizing my mind and causing me to forget the passing cares of life.
11 Mr. Kirwin, on hearing this evidence, desired that I should be taken into the room where the body lay for interment, that it might be observed what effect the sight of it would produce upon me.
12 Darkness had no effect upon my fancy, and a churchyard was to me merely the receptacle of bodies deprived of life, which, from being the seat of beauty and strength, had become food for the worm.
13 I considered the being whom I had cast among mankind, and endowed with the will and power to effect purposes of horror, such as the deed which he had now done, nearly in the light of my own vampire, my own spirit let loose from the grave, and forced to destroy all that was dear to me.
14 After so long a period of an absorbing melancholy that resembled madness in its intensity and effects, he was glad to find that I was capable of taking pleasure in the idea of such a journey, and he hoped that change of scene and varied amusement would, before my return, have restored me entirely to myself.
15 But supposing all these conjectures to be false, you cannot contest the inestimable benefit which I shall confer on all mankind, to the last generation, by discovering a passage near the pole to those countries, to reach which at present so many months are requisite; or by ascertaining the secret of the magnet, which, if at all possible, can only be effected by an undertaking such as mine.
