Joe Manton aristocracies; giant-working mammonism near strangled in the partridge nets of giant-looking Idle— Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine — Volume 54, No. 333, July 1843
In fine, W---- was not in any respect peculiar, or, as a community, specially afflicted with heartlessness, frivolity, brainlessness, or mammonism; the average was fair, reputable, in all respects.— Macaria
There is hope of a mind which doubts, because it thinks; because it troubles itself to think about what the mass of nominal Christians live threescore years and die of very mammonism, without having had one earnest thought about one difficulty, or one misgiving: there is hope of a man, who, not licentious nor scornful, from simple misconception, misbelieves; there is just and reasonable hope that (the misconception once removed) his faith will shine forth all the warmer for a temporary state of winter.— The Complete Prose Works of Martin Farquhar Tupper
I speak of the Lowland population, and especially of the Borderers, with whose habits, manners and customs, alone I am personally acquainted; and the lingering traces of whose old forms of life -- so gay, kindly, and suggestive -- I saw some thirty years ago, just before they sank under the mammonism, commonplace, critical apery, and cold material self-seeking, which have hitherto been the plague of the present generation.— The Modern Scottish Minstrel, Volume V. The Songs of Scotland of the Past Half Century
"Never, surely, against an earnest working mammonism was there brought by game-preserving aristocratic dilettantism, a stranger accusation since this world began.— Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine — Volume 54, No. 333, July 1843
