Strana 277 - ... because it was possible she might be conversant in romances,) and by her judgment was guided whether to receive or reject it.
Strana 402 - ... hand. The virgin, who it seems was one of the nine sisters that attended on the Goddess of Fame, smiled with an ineffable grace at their meeting and retired.
Strana 376 - It must be allowed, that Esquire Bicker'staff is of all authors the most ingenuous. There are few, very few, that will own themselves in a mistake, though all the world see them to be in downright nonsense. You will be pleased, Sir, to pardon this expression, for the same reason for which you once desired us to excuse you, when you seemed any thing dull.
