Strana 214 - ASSIST us mercifully, O Lord, in these our supplications and prayers, and dispose the way of thy servants towards the attainment of everlasting salvation ; that, among all the changes and chances of this mortal life, they may ever be defended by thy most gracious and ready help ; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Strana 54 - That other nameless impression is a cheat, and •will but abuse the buyer as well as the author, whose poem deserves to have fallen into better hands.
Strana 67 - ... to his majesty's people all the idle and malicious reports that they could collect or invent, contrary to law : the continuance whereof would, in a short time, endanger the peace of the kingdom, the same manifestly tending thereto, as has been declared by all his majesty's...
Strana 87 - Medleys are jumbled together with the Flying Post; the Examiner is deadly sick ; the Spectator keeps up and doubles its price : I know not how long it will last.
Strana 607 - I am a man of desperate fortunes, that is, a man whose friends are dead, for I never aimed at any other fortune than in friends. As soon as I had sent my last letter, I received a most kind one from you, expressing great pain for my late illness at Mr. Cheselden's.

Strana 501 - ... as if he had not been at all engaged or interrupted. Suppose now you had staid as long as you would, and been entertained by him most agreeably, you took your leave, and got half-way down the stairs ; but, recollecting somewhat that you...
Strana 571 - I should, to borrow me to read to them ; their mothers sometimes with them ; and both mothers and daughters used to be pleased with the observations they put me upon making. — I was not more than thirteen, when three of these young women, unknown to each other, having...
Strana 179 - He was a whole species of Poets in one ! Admirable in a Manner In which no one else has been tolerable ; . A Manner which began and ended in Him, In which he knew no Guide. And has found no Followers.
Strana 492 - So does an account of the criminals hanged yesterday entertain us.' He proceeded : — 'Demosthenes Taylor, as he was called, (that is, the Editor of Demosthenes) was the most silent man, the merest statue of a man that I have ever seen. I once dined in company with him, and all he said during the whole time was no more than Richard. How a man should say only Richard, it is not easy to imagine. But it was thus : Dr. Douglas was talking of Dr. Zachary Grey, and ascribing to him something that was...
