الصفحة xxxi - Sketches of Life, Characters, and Manners in various Countries ; including the Memoirs of a French Lady of Quality,
الصفحة lii - Vice, for vice is necessary to be shewn, should always disgust; nor should the graces of gaiety, or the dignity of courage, be so united with it, as to reconcile it to the mind. Wherever it appears, it should raise hatred by the malignity of its practices, and contempt by the meanness of its stratagems : for while it is supported by either parts or spirit, it will be seldom heartily abhorred.

الصفحة xxii - It is evident that you already possess a great variety of expression, and command of the English language ; you ought therefore to deal more sparingly for the future in the provincial dialect ; why should you, by using that, limit the number of your admirers to those who understand the Scottish, when you can extend it to all persons of taste who understand the English language t In my opinion, you should plan some larger work than any you have as yet attempted.
الصفحة lii - In narratives, where historical veracity has no place* I cannot discover, why there should not be exhibited the most perfect idea of virtue ; of virtue not angelical, nor above probability, for what we cannot credit we shall never imitate ; but the highest and purest that humanity can reach...
الصفحة 48 - how long will this last with these poor people?' 'Ah, pour le coup,' said he, ' voila une reflexion bien Anglaise; — that, indeed, is what I cannot tell; neither do I know how long you or I may live; but I fancy it would be great folly to be sorrowful through life, because we do not know how soon misfortunes may come, and because we are quite certain that death is to come at last.' " When we arrived at the inn to which we had ordered the postilion to drive, we found the soldier and Fanchon. After...
الصفحة 109 - And, like th' old Hebrews, many years did stray, In deserts but of small extent, Bacon, like Moses, led us forth at last : The barren wilderness he past ; Did on the very border stand Of the blest promis'd land ; And from the mountain's top of his exalted wit, Saw it himself, and shew'd us it.
الصفحة 275 - ... instruct the common men. When I came nearer, I was much surprised to find that this was the king himself. He had his sword drawn, and continued to exercise the corps for an hour after. He made them wheel, march, form the square, and • fire by divisions and in platoons, observing all their motions with infinite attention; and, on account of some blunder, put two officers of the Prince of Prussia's regiment in arrest. In short, he seemed to exert himself with all the spirit of a young officer...
الصفحة 90 - ... 680 dixit, et e curru saltum dedit ocius arvis, perque hostes, per tela ruit, maestamque sororem deserit, ac rapido cursu media agmina rumpit. ac veluti montis saxum de vertice praeceps cum ruit, avulsum vento, seu turbidus imber proluit, aut annis solvit sublapsa vetustas ; fertur in abruptum magno mons...
الصفحة 91 - So Zembla's rocks (the beauteous work of frost) Rise white in air, and glitter o'er the coast ; Pale suns, unfelt, at distance roll away, And on the impassive ice the lightnings play ; Eternal snows the growing mass supply, Till the bright mountains prop th' incumbent sky ; As Atlas fix'd, each hoary pile appears, The gather'd winter of a thousand years.
