Side 161 - ... so firm He burst with his voice of thunder. And he bade the Old Woman of Berkeley...
Side 151 - Shall we for ever make new books, as apothecaries make new mixtures, by pouring only out of one vessel into another? Are we for ever to be twisting, and untwisting the same rope? for ever in the same track — for ever at the same pace?
Side 148 - THE bones, in this composition, have not the fmalleft appearance of being petrified ; and if they have undergone any change, it is more like that of calcination than that of petrifaction, as the moft folid parts of them generally admit of being cut and fcraped down with the fame eafe as chalk.

Side 256 - I was now too faint to attempt walking, and my horse too much fatigued to carry me, I thought it but an act of humanity, and perhaps the last I should ever have it in my power to perform, to take off his bridle and let him shift for himself; in doing which I was...
Side 310 - They boast, they come but to improve our state, enlarge our thoughts, and free us from the yoke of error!
