עמוד 129 - This relation will not be wholly without its use if those who languish under any part of his sufferings shall be enabled to fortify their patience by reflecting that they feel only those afflictions from which the abilities of Savage did not exempt him ; or...
עמוד 1 - Shilling is, that it is short. Disguise can gratify no longer than it deceives. SAVAGE IT has been observed in all ages, that the advantages of nature or of fortune have contributed very little to the promotion of happiness ; and...
עמוד 14 - ... reckoning and return home; but his expectations deceived him, for Sir Richard told him that he was without money, and that the pamphlet must be sold before the dinner could be paid for; and Savage was therefore obliged to go and offer their new production to sale for two guineas, which with some difficulty he obtained.
