It is doubtless for this reason , says Philander , that painters have not a little
contributed to bring the study of medals in vogue . For not to mention several
others , Caraccio is said to have assisted Aretine by designs that he took from the

עמוד 9
The reason is , that we are familiar with the names of the one , and meet with the
other no where but in learned authors . An antiquary will scorn to mention a
pinner or a night - rail , a petticoat or a manteau ; but will talk as gravely as a
father of ...

עמוד 23
I have , sometimes , however , been very much distasted at this way of writing , by
reason of the long prefaces and exordiums into which it often betrays an author .
There is so much time taken up in ceremony , that before they enter on their ...

עמוד 24
They have not a single ornament that they cannot give a reason for . I was going
to ask you , says Eugenius , in what country you find these ladies . But I see they
are some of those imaginary persons you told us of last night , that inhabit old ...

עמוד 439 - Whosoever . therefore shall confess Me before men, him will I confess also before My Father which is in heaven. But whosoever shall deny Me before men, him will I also deny before My Father which is in heaven.
עמוד 2 - Statesman, yet friend to truth ; of soul sincere, In action faithful, and in honour clear ; Who broke no promise, serv'd no private end, Who ga'in'd no title, and who lost no friend ; Ennobled by himself, by all approv'd, And prais'd, unenvied, by the Muse he lov'd.
עמוד 32 - The man resolv'd, and steady to his trust, Inflexible to ill, and obstinately just, May the rude rabble's insolence despise, Their senseless clamours and tumultuous cries : The tyrant's fierceness he beguiles. And the stern brow, and the harsh voice defies, And with superior greatness smiles.
עמוד 258 - Bajan mole, Rais'd on the seas, the surges to control — At once comes tumbling down the rocky wall; Prone to the deep, the stones disjointed fall Of the vast pile; the scatter'd ocean flies; Black sands...
עמוד 95 - For they that led us away captive, required of us then a song, and melody in our heaviness : Sing us one of the songs of Sion. 4 How shall we sing the LORD'S song in a strange land?
עמוד 190 - ... this nation.

This makes our blank verse, where there is no rhyme to support the expression, extremely difficult to...
עמוד 452 - Georgics; where we receive more strong and lively ideas of things from his words, than we could have done from the objects themselves; and find our imaginations more affected by his descriptions, than they would have been by the very sight of what he describes.
עמוד 303 - When a man sees the prodigious pains and expence that our fore- fathers have been at in these barbarous buildings, one cannot but fancy to himself what miracles of architecture they would have left us, had they only been instructed in the right way...
עמוד 153 - Vain fool, and coward!" said the lofty maid, " Caught in the train, which thou thyself hast laid ! On others practise thy Ligurian arts : Thin stratagems, and tricks of little hearts, Are lost on me: nor shalt thou safe retire, With vaunting lies to thy fallacious sire.
עמוד 71 - The coat of arms by proud Mezentius worn, Now on a naked snag in triumph borne, Was hung on high, and glitter'd from afar, A trophy sacred to the God of War. Above his arms, fix'd on the leafless wood, Appear'd his plumy crest, besmear'd with blood...
