lowest ebb

“This was the lowest ebb in its disparagement and depreciation of the moral forces in man; and here, too, Baius had paved the way.”

The Catholic Encyclopedia, Volume 6: Fathers of the Church-Gregory XI

“And on the death of Patsy he wrote, “This sudden and unexpected blow, I scarce need add has almost reduced my poor Wife to the lowest ebb of Misery; which is encreas'd by the absence of her son.””

The True George Washington

“Russian strength at its lowest ebb | The Siberians the only reserves left | But the Soviet intelligence system excellent | Genesis of the Partisan movement | German reaction | A typical incident | The Vyazma-Bryansk operation | The appointment of Zhukov.”
