Side 551 - I owe it to you as the head of the administration, and to Mr. Peel as the leader of the House of Commons, to lose no time in affording you an opportunity of placing my office in other hands, as the only means in my power of preventing the injury to the King's service, which may ensue from the appearance of disunion in his Majesty's councils, however unfounded in reality, or however unimportant in itself, the question which has given rise to that appearance.

No hour was too late to keep him from the tyranny of his own gloomy thoughts. A gentleman venturing to say to Johnson, " Sir, I wonder sometimes that you condescend so far as to attend a city club."...
Side 318 - Out of this chaos of mingled purposes and casualties the ancient poets, according to the laws which custom had prescribed, selected some the crimes of men and some their absurdities; some the momentous vicissitudes of life and some the lighter occurrences; some the terrors of distress and some the gaieties of prosperity. Thus rose the two modes of imitation known by the names of tragedy and comedy...
Side 524 - Who now reads Cowley ? if he pleases yet, His moral pleases, not his pointed wit: Forgot his Epic, nay Pindaric art, But still I love the language of his heart.
Side 150 - These words were complained of, and Wiemark summoned to the privy council, where he pleaded for himself, " that he intended no disrespect to Mr. Secretary, whose known worth was above all detraction ; only he spake in reference to an old proverb, " Two heads are better than one," And so for the present he was dismissed.
Side 23 - CEdipus was a poor miserable man, subjected to the greatest distress, without any degree of culpability of his own." I urged, that Aristotle, as well as most of the Greek poets, were partial to this character ; that Addison considered that, as terror and pity were particularly excited, he was the properest here Johnson suddenly becoming loud, I paused, and rather apologised that it might not become me, perhaps, too strongly to contradict Dr. Johnson.
Side 63 - We look back on the savage condition of our ancestors with the triumph of superiority; we are pleased to mark the steps by which we have been raised from rudeness to elegance...
