Why, all the souls that were, were forfeit once; And He that might the vantage best have took, Found out the remedy: How would you be, If he, which is the top of judgment, should But judge you as you are?

Seite 218 - Rickleton's poem on Winter, which I still have, first put the design into my head — in it are some masterly strokes that awakened me — being only a present amusement, it is ten to one but I drop it whenever another fancy comes across.

Seite 4 - Fresh from the perusal of its immense array of facts, couched in pure phrase, and arranged in the most lucid order, we might be accused of enthusiasm, if we say it is the ablest summary of history and modern investigation with which we are acquainted; but, as most of our readers who open its pages will admit, our praise is far from being exaggerated.
