Stran 10 - Nay, it is a point fit and necessary in the front, and beginning of this work, without hesitation or reservation to be professed, that it is no less true in this human kingdom of knowledge, than in God's kingdom of heaven, that no man shall enter into it, " except he become first as a little child.
Stran 14 - And storm, and darkness, ye are wondrous strong, Yet, lovely in your strength, as is the light Of a dark eye in woman! Far along, From peak to peak, the rattling crags among Leaps the live thunder! Not from one lone cloud, But every mountain now hath found a tongue, And Jura answers, through her misty shroud, Back to the joyous Alps, who call to her aloud!
Stran 5 - Uiunov'd it stands, — Within its shining frame, In motion swifter than the lightning's flame, Swifter than sight the moving parts may spy, Another sphere whirls round its rapid sky : Hence MOTION darts its force, impulsive draws, And on the other orbs impresses laws.
Stran 3 - ... important subject. For it seems that, with the fate of his master present to his mind, Plato steadily kept his personal safety in view, and expressed himself with caution, if, indeed, he did not withhold much that he fully believed. Hence he says, " It is a difficult thing to discover the nature of the Creator of the universe ; and, being discovered, it is impossible, and would even be impious, to expose the discovery to vulgar understandings.

It is right however to say, that their definitions were never intended for any such practical purpose ; they pursued no such contemptible 10 object ; they disdained to be useful.
Stran 22 - Honor is defined, the distinction of one above many ; it can not be for the greatest happiness of the greatest number, that the majority should be oppressed by the elevation of a few at their expense ; monarchy and every species of aristocracy must therefore be rejected. As there is no other kind of government but that of the many, it follows that this species of government alone meets the terms of this proposition.
Stran 7 - Alexandria, which was consumed by the rash and ignorant soldiers of Julius Caesar. The library of the Roman empire, preserved in the temple of Apollo, was destroyed by lightning. In later times the fire of Omar will be remembered, the bigotry of Pope Gregory, and the vanity of Almaman, to each of which the 2 most precious remains of antiquity fell a sacrifice.
Stran 10 - Let us place Lord Bacon opposite to Fowler. He says : " The prejudice hath been infinite, that both divine and human knowledge have received by the intermingling and tempering of the one with the other ; as that which hath filled the one full of heresies, and the other full of speculative factions and vanities.
Stran 29 - Thus, that the square of the hypothenuse of a right-angled triangle is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides, was an experimental discovery, or why did the discoverer sacrifice a hecatomb when he made out its proof ?
