الصفحة 376 - Mackenzie his snuff-box and spectacles. Alarm came that the mob had thrown down Lord Boston, and were trampling him to death; which they almost did. They had diswigged Lord Bathurst on his answering them stoutly, and told him he was the Pope, and an old woman; thus splitting Pope Joan into two. Lord Hillsborough, on being taxed with negligence, affirmed that the Cabinet had the day before empowered Lord North to take precautions; but two Justices that were called denied having received any orders....
الصفحة 117 - Conspicuous scene ! another yet is nigh, (More silent far) where kings and poets lie ; Where MURRAY (long enough his country's pride) Shall be no more than TULLY, or than HYDE ! Rack'd with sciatics, martyr'd with the stone, Will any mortal let himself alone?
الصفحة 106 - ... j'ai dévoilé mon intérieur tel que tu l'as vu toi-même , Être éternel. Rassemble autour de moi l'innombrable foule de mes semblables; qu'ils écoutent mes confessions , qu'ils gémissent de mes indignités , qu'ils rougissent de mes misères °.

الصفحة 51 - The Old Baron,' a Gothic story, 1 professedly written in imitation of Otranto, but reduced to reason and probability ! It is so probable, that any trial for murder at the Old Bailey would make a more interesting story.
الصفحة 403 - How I abominate Mr. Banks and Dr. Solander, who routed the poor Otaheitans out of the centre of the ocean, and carried our abominable passions amongst them ! not even that poor little speck could escape European restlessness.
الصفحة 106 - Moi seul. Je sens mon cœur, et je connais les hommes. Je ne suis fait comme aucun de ceux que j'ai vus; j'ose croire n'être fait comme aucun de ceux qui existent.
الصفحة 106 - Je ne suis fait comme aucun de ceux que j'ai vus ; j'ose croire n'être fait comme aucun de ceux qui existent. Si je ne vaux pas mieux, au moins je suis autre. Si la nature a bien ou mal fait de briser le moule dans lequel elle m'a jeté, c'est ce dont on ne peut juger qu'après m'avoir lu.
الصفحة 191 - During the play the desperate lover was at the Bedford Coffee House, and behaved with great calmness, and drank a glass of capillaire. Towards the conclusion, he sallied into the piazza, waiting till he saw his victim handed by Mr. Macnamara. He came behind her, pulled her by the gown, and on her turning round, clapped the pistol to her forehead, and shot her through the head. With another pistol he then attempted to shoot himself, but the ball only grazing his brow, he tried to dash out his own...
الصفحة 395 - Good night, Madam, till I receive your letter. Monday morning, thel^tk. Disappointed ! disappointed ! uot a line from your Ladyship ; I will not send away this till I hear from you. Last night, at Hampton Court, I heard of two Popish chapels demolished at Bath, and one at Bristol. My coachman has just been in Twickenham, and says half Bath is burnt ; I trust this is but the natural progress of lies, that increase like a chairman's legs by walking.

الصفحة 510 - Johnson] for you. I saw him last night at Lady Lucan's, who had assembled a blue stocking meeting in imitation of Mrs. Vesey's Babels. It was so blue, it was quite Mazarine-blue. Mrs. Montagu kept aloof from Johnson, like the West from the East.
