Seite 468 - ... and the said party of the second part hereby covenants and agrees to and with the said...
Seite 152 - Consider what you have in the smallest chosen library. A company of the wisest and wittiest men that could be picked out of all countries, in a thousand years, have set in best order the results of their learning and wisdom.
