Kagan, a persuasive and pragmatic justice, admitted that every once in a while a justice changes his or her vote -- "Not unfrequently" -- and joked that it was a "pretty good day" if she were the one who swayed a colleague.

There was a subscription library, containing about 1600 volumes of all classes of literature. The houses exhibited considerable diversity, some being thatched and others slated, while old cottages and new villas were not unfrequently found standing close together. Almost without exception, the houses had gardens attached to them, and as a natural consequence, flower-culture was largely engaged in.

The earldom of Fife was resurrected in 1759 for William Duff, after he proved his descent from the original earls of Fife. This title was in the Peerage of Ireland, notwithstanding that Fife is in Scotland; the "of" was also excluded, as was "not unfrequently" the case in the Irish Peerage The Complete Peerage, vol. II, p. 462, note (a).

Nonreligious population by country, 2010. One of the earliest definitions of agnostic atheism is that of theologian and philosopher Robert Flint, in his Croall Lecture of 1887–1888 (published in 1903 under the title Agnosticism). > The atheist may however be, and not unfrequently is, an agnostic. There is > an agnostic atheism or atheistic agnosticism, and the combination of atheism > with agnosticism which may be so named is not an uncommon one.

James Oglethorpe interested Wilson in foreign missions Wilson was not by nature an intolerant man, nor were his sympathies limited to the Anglican fold. It is said that Cardinal Fleury wrote to him, "as they were the two oldest bishops", and, he believed, "the poorest in Europe" invited him to France. He was so pleased with Wilson's reply that he got an order prohibiting French privateers from ravaging the Isle of Man. Roman Catholics "not unfrequently attended" his services.

Cunningham published several poems anonymously, often combining topography with political themes. Their style was characterised by Ebenezer Rhodes as "elegant and tasteful in expression…but cold in feeling. His lines, though generally graceful, and not unfrequently polished to excellence, are occasionally cumbrous and sluggish from an excess of epithet…As a poet he had many beauties, checkered with a considerable proportion of defect."Eliot, p.48 Their procession of allegorical abstractions and Latinate poeticisms was complained of as hindering his meaning. “Everything is buried in gloom and obscurity.

Townshend met the poet Robert Southey in 1815, and through him met the Wordsworths and Coleridges. Two volumes of his poetry were published in 1821, and he also had a famous encounter with the poet John Clare: > During the summer of 1821, Clare gave up his agricultural labours almost > entirely. The greater part of the time he spent in roaming through woods and > fields, planning new poems, and correcting those already made. Visits to > Stamford, also, were frequent and of some duration, and he not unfrequently > stayed three or four days together at the house of Mr. Gilchrist, or of Mr. > Drury.

However, author and missionary to Tasmania, Reverend John West (1809-1873), reported in 1852 that "cooey" was "not unknown in certain neighbourhoods of the metropolis" (London). In 1864, an English slang dictionary reported: "Cooey, the Australian bush-call, now not unfrequently heard in the streets of London". In 1917, the Anglo-Welsh poet Edward Thomas used "coo-ee" as the parting word with his wife Helen, on leaving for the Western Front from which he never returned; a fact commemorated at a 2014 Remembrance service in Glasgow. The expression "within cooee" has developed within Australian and New Zealand English as slang for "within a manageable distance".

The new route to the Thames could get congested"It is also possible to get in at the Regent's Canal entrance just above Limehouse Cut, but the communication between the Regent's Canal Basin and Limehouse Cut is not unfrequently blocked up by craft and barges, thereby causing much trouble and loss of time to small boats", wrote a pleasure-boat owner: . There could anyway be a long time to wait at the Regent's Canal's lock to the Thames: . The Lee and Stort bargemen complained that the Regent's Canal Dock was too crowded and one said that less than 1 in 10 barges chose the Dock route: col. 1, Barnard and Manser.

The lowest wall is divided by a gap of full thirty feet in the centre flanked by two strong bastions, but no gateway. The ascent between these three entrances and from the north-west out-work on to the citadel is by a winding path with steps at intervals where, not unfrequently, the naked scarp of the rock has to be surmounted. The steps are nearly everywhere broken down and the way generally blocked with prickly pear. The above description will show that the hill was unprotected below the citadel and its out-works on the south-west and south-east sides, and that elaborate care was taken to protect the north side.

"Strang, the Man". MormonBeliefs.com. Retrieved on 2007-10-31 But none of this meant that Strang was illiterate or simple. Although his teachers "not unfrequently turned me off with little or no attention, as though I was too stupid to learn and too dull to feel neglect," Strang recalled that he spent "long weary days ... upon the floor, thinking, thinking, thinking ... my mind wandered over fields that old men shrink from, seeking rest and finding none till darkness gathered thick around and I burst into tears." He studied works by Thomas Paine and the Comte de Volney, whose book Les Ruines exerted a significant influence on the future prophet.Fitzpatrick, pp. 26–27.

According to J. Delaney of Catholic Encyclopedia, "Detraction in a general sense is a mortal sin, as being a violation of the virtue not only of charity but also of justice. It is obvious, however, that the subject-matter of the accusation may be so inconspicuous or, everything considered, so little capable of doing serious hurt that the guilt is not assumed to be more than venial. The same judgment is to be given when, as not unfrequently happens, there has been little or no advertence to the harm that is being done." As in the case of stealing, detraction is a sin which demands restitution, even though rebuilding a victim's reputation may be nearly impossible.

"When fish are scarce, they not unfrequently carried a load on their shoulders, weighing between three or four stone, to Newcastle, which is about ten miles distant from Cullercoats, in the hope of meeting with a better market."The Ports, Harbours, Watering-places and Picturesque Scenery of Great Britain Vol. 1, William Finden, 1842 The Cullercoats Fish Lass became a popular subject for many of the Cullercoats Artist Colony, most notably Winslow Homer. While he resided from the spring of 1881 to November 1882, Homer became sensitive to the strenuous and courageous lives of its inhabitants, particularly the women, whom he depicted many times, hauling and cleaning fish, mending nets, and, most poignantly, standing at the water's edge, awaiting the return of their men.

The author of Newmarket, or an Essay on the Turf, London, 1771Attributed by Cole to Mr. Anstey of Trumpington. described him: > He was a known woman hater, passionately fond of horse-racing, cocking, and > coursing; remarkable for a peculiar uniformity in his dress, the fashion of > which he never changed, and in which, regardless of its uncouth appearance, > he would not unfrequently go to court and enquire in the most familiar > manner for his master or mistress, the king or queen. Queen Anne used to > call him Governor Frampton. Another writer quoted by Whyte in an account of Newmarket in the reign of Queen Anne, remarked: > There was Mr. Frampton, the oldest, and, as they say, the cunningest jockey > in England; one day he lost 1,000 guineas, the next he won 2,000, and so > alternately.
