Stran 282 - The laurel, the hornbeam., and the holly, with many other trees and plants of the same nature, grow so thick in it; that you cannot imagine a more lively scene. The glowing redness of the berries, with which they are hung at this time, vies with the verdure of their leaves, and are...
Stran 71 - ... rather to have it made known by narration to the audience. Farther, I think it very convenient, for the reasons he has given, that all incredible actions were...
