280 ページ - Why shrinks the soul Back on herself, and startles at destruction ? 'Tis the divinity that stirs within us; 'Tis Heaven itself that points out an hereafter, And intimates eternity to man.
253 ページ - That some of them have been adopted by him unnecessarily, may perhaps be allowed ; but in general they are evidently an advantage, for without them his stately ideas would be confined and cramped. "He that thinks with more extent than another, will want words of larger meaning.

277 ページ - I have often lamented that so great a genius as Raffaelle had not lived in this enlightened, age, since the art has been reduced to principles, and had had his education in one of the modern academies ; what glorious works might we then have expected from his divine pencil !' I shall trouble you no longer with my friend's observations, which, I suppose, you are now able to continue by yourself.

For, of the multitudes who are pining in those cells of misery, a very small part is suspected of any fraudulent act by which they retain what belongs to others. The rest are imprisoned by the wantonness of pride, the malignity of revenge, or the acrimony of disappointed expectation.
