Stran 60 - ... a custom loathsome to the eye, hateful to the nose, harmful to the brain, dangerous to the lungs, and in the black stinking fume thereof, nearest resembling the horrible Stygian smoke of the pit that is bottomless.
Stran 182 - It is wonderful that five thousand years have now elapsed since the creation of the world, and still it is undecided whether or not there has ever been an instance of the spirit of any person appearing after death. All argument is against it; but all belief is for it.
Stran 156 - FRIENDS. Old friends are best. King James used to call for his old shoes ; they were easiest for his feet.
Stran 172 - I perceiving what an opinion he had of me, and that it was only melancholy that troubled him, took him in hand, warranted him, if he would follow my directions, to cure him in a short time.

Stran 150 - They have put in the papers a good story made on White's : a man dropped down dead at the door, was carried in; the club immediately made bets whether he was dead or not, and when they were going to bleed him, the wagerers for his death interposed, and said it would affect the fairness of the bet Mr.
Stran 167 - It is a fine thing for children to learn to make verse, but when they come to be men they must speak like other men, or else they will be laughed at. It is ridiculous to speak, or write, or preach in verse. As it is good to learn to dance : a man may learn his leg, learn to go handsomely ; but it is ridiculous for him to dance, when he should go.
