Strana 24 - For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness ; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.
Strana 3 - Tis now become a history little known, That once we called the pastoral house our own. Short-lived possession! but the record fair That memory keeps of all thy kindness there, Still outlives many a storm, that has effaced A thousand other themes less deeply traced. Thy nightly visits to my chamber made, That thou might'st know me safe and warmly laid...
Strana 214 - In behalf of the Nose it will quickly appear, And your lordship, he said, will undoubtedly find That the Nose has had spectacles always in wear, Which amounts to possession time out of mind.

Strana 136 - If government should impose another tax upon that commodity I hardly know a business in which a gentleman might more successfully employ himself. A Chinese, of ten times my fortune, would avail himself of such an opportunity without scruple ; and why should not I, who want money as much as any mandarin in China ? Rousseau would have been charmed to have seen me so occupied, and would have exclaimed with rapture, " that he had found the Emilius who (he supposed) had subsisted only in his own idea.
Strana 270 - ... tis only her plan to catch, if she can, the giddy and gay, as they go that way, by a production, on a new construction ; she has baited her...
