Side 62 - A Discourse of Freethinking, occasioned by the rise and growth of a Sect called Freethinkers...
Side 160 - Congreve has merit of the highest kind; he is an original writer, who borrowed neither the models of his plot nor the manner of his dialogue. Of his plays I cannot speak distinctly ; for since I inspected them many years have passed...
