Σελίδα 404 - Blessings be with them — and eternal praise, Who gave us nobler loves, and nobler cares—- The Poets, who on earth have made us heirs Of truth and pure delight by heavenly lays ! Oh ! might my name be numbered among theirs, Then gladly would I end my mortal days.
Σελίδα 116 - More than three thousand years have elapsed since the composition of the Pentateuch ; and let any man, if he is able, tell me in what important respects the rule of life has varied since that distant period.

And, in many respects — latterly, I hope and believe, in all the most essential — it might be truly said of both, " as face answereth to face in a glass, so does the " heart of a man to his friend.
Σελίδα 58 - Burke, is equally pure and delicate with his taste in literature. His mind is so comprehensive that generalities cease to be barren ; and so vigorous that detail itself becomes interesting. He introduces every question with perspicuity, states it with precision, and pursues it with easy unaffected method. Sometimes, perhaps, he may amuse his readers with excursions into paradox, but he never bewilders them by flights into romance. His philosophy is far more just and far more amiable than the philosophy...
Σελίδα 249 - Perhaps, my good friend, you have fallen into this error of superior natures. From this error has, I think, arisen that calamity with which it has pleased Providence to visit you, which to a mind less fortified by reason and religion...
