עמוד 190 - The school which they have set up may properly be called the Satanic School ; for though their productions breathe the spirit of Belial in their lascivious parts, and the spirit of Moloch in those loathsome images of atrocities and...
עמוד 188 - Would that this literary intolerance were under the influence of a saner judgement, and regarded the morals more than the manner of a composition ; the spirit rather than the form ! Would that it were directed against those monstrous combinations...
