This is a severe charge, but temperately and deliberately made, from the firm persuasion that I owe this justice to the public and...
Side 325 - But he is dead, and has left nothing in this world that resembles him.
Side 243 - I have observed that a reader seldom peruses a book with pleasure till he knows whether the writer of it be a black or a fair man, of a mild or choleric disposition, married or a bachelor; with other particulars of a like nature, that conduce very much to the right understanding of an author.
