עמוד 316 - Complete Angler; or, The Contemplative Man's Recreation : being a Discourse of Rivers, Fishponds. Fish and Fishing, written by IZAAK WALTON ; and Instructions how to Angle for a Trout or Grayling in a clear Stream, by CHARLES COTTON.

עמוד 62 - A Discourse of Freethinking, occasioned by the rise and growth of a Sect called Freethinkers...
עמוד 160 - Congreve has merit of the highest kind; he is an original writer, who borrowed neither the models of his plot nor the manner of his dialogue. Of his plays I cannot speak distinctly ; for since I inspected them many years have passed...
עמוד 381 - I believe I can tell the particular little chance that filled my head first with such chimes of verse as have never since left ringing there.
