Strana 20 - For the king knoweth of these things before whom also I speak freely; for I am persuaded that none of these things are hidden from him; for this thing was not done in a corner. King Agrippa, believest thou the prophets? I know that thou believest.
Strana 78 - Music exalts each joy, allays each grief, Expels diseases, softens every pain, Subdues the rage of poison and the plague; And hence the wise of ancient days adored One power of Physic, Melody, and Song.
Strana 78 - There is a charm, a power, that sways the breast; Bids every passion revel or be still ; Inspires with rage, or all your cares dissolves ; Can soothe distraction, and almost despair. That power is Music...
Strana 210 - Original, as complete as moderate limits and a reasonable price would allow. The subjects are presented in the same order in which they appear in the original. The more important dissertations are reprinted in the style and language of the respective authors...
Strana 1 - ... unjust suspicions, indulge strong propensities, affect singularity in dress, gait, and phraseology; are proud, conceited and ostentatious; easily excited and with difficulty appeased; dead to sensibility, delicacy and refinement; obstinately riveted to the most absurd opinions; prone to controversy and yet incapable of reasoning; always the hero of their own tale; using hyperbolic high-flown language to express the most simple ideas, accompanied by unnatural gesticulation, inordinate action,...

Strana 19 - Preachers has induced hypochondriasis, in others insanity of the most incurable species, and moping melancholy often terminated by suicide. Professors of this description, with the very best intentions, too frequently make no allowance for the peculiarities of natural disposition, and impute to serious conviction and celestial influence what more properly belongs to incipient disease, or the agency of certain moral and physical causes. Nothing is more calculated to depress hope and induce despondency...
Strana 210 - Transactions are accurately re-engraven, except such as are quite unnecessary to the elucidation of the subjects discussed. To each volume there are two Tables of Contents ; one corresponding with the number as printed ; the other exhibiting the different subjects classed under their respective heads. The work concludes with a very copious Index.

On some occasions they suspect sinister intentions on the most trivial grounds; on others, are a prey to fear and dread, from the most ridiculous and imaginary sources; now embracing every...
