1861UtilitarianismWe not uncommonly hear the doctrine of utility inveighed against as a godless doctrine.1869Culture and AnarchyFor instance, when the Reform League orators inveigh against our cruel and bloated aristocracy, these invectives so evidently show the passions and point of view of the Populace, that they do not sink into the minds of those at whom they are addressed, or awaken any thought or self-examination in them.1884Jack in the ForecastleBut Captain Thompson, the next day, when I received my half month's pay in advance, and informed him of my arrangements, called me a fool, and inveighed in bitter terms against the whole race of sailor landlords.2001Foreign Legions A few had chosen not to, and Father Timothy had agreed, under the circumstances, not to inveigh against them.Labels: David Drake, John Sherburne Sleeper, John Stuart Mill, Matthew Arnold
