Stran 396 - ... who had heard of his talents. I hope I shall not be thought to assume too much, if I endeavour to place him in a higher point of view, to call for a verdict of his country on the merit of his works, and to claim for him those honours which their excellence appears to deserve.
Stran 6 - Day agrees to cede to your Petitioner the Sun, and its various appendages ; your Petitioner, on her part, guarantees to her fifter Day the Moon, with all its properties and appurtenances whatfoever.
Stran 401 - Shakespeare discerns the characters of men, with which he catches the many changing hues of life, forms a sort of problem in the science of mind, of which it is easier to see the truth than to assign the cause.
Stran 426 - Of the few whom learning or genius has led astray, the ill success or the ruin is marked by the celebrity of the sufferer. O'f the many who have been as dull as they were profligate, and as ignorant as they were poor, the fate is unknown, from the insignificance of those by whom "it was endured. If we may reason a priori on the matter, the chance, I think, should be on the side of literature.
Stran 427 - The waste of time is undoubtedly a very calculable loss; but the waste or the depravation of mind is a loss of a much higher denomination.

Stran 429 - ... of the merchant, and to prompt the arguments of the lawyer; and though some professions employ but very few faculties of the mind, yet there is scarce any branch of business in which a man who can think will not excel him who can only labour. We shall accordingly find, in many departments where...
Stran 387 - Such faces, indeed, are a favourite part of the entertainment at Benevolus's table. One day of the week, which he jokingly calls his wife's rout day, there is an additional leaf put to the table, for the reception of some of the principal farmers on his estate, from whose conversation, he says, he derives much useful knowledge in country business, and in the ma-
Stran 305 - I could draw the old lady at this moment ! dressed in gray, with a clean white hood nicely plaited (for she was somewhat finical about the neatness of her person), sitting in her straight-backed elbow-chair, which stood in a large window, scooped out of the thickness of the ancient wall.
