עמוד 358 - One of the expedients of party to acquire influence within particular districts, is to misrepresent the opinions and aims of other districts.

עמוד 372 - True ease in writing comes from art, not chance, As those move easiest, who have learned to dance : 'Tis not enough no harshness gives offence, The sound must seem an echo to the sense.
