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...
Side 381 - I believe I can tell the particular little chance that filled my head first with such chimes of verse as have never since left ringing there.
