Sivu 208 - There is a young fellow here in town we are all fond of, and about a year or two come from the university, one Harrison,* a little, pretty fellow, with a great deal of wit, good sense, and good nature...
Sivu 234 - Their praise is hymn'd by loftier harps than mine: Yet one I would select from that proud throng, Partly because they blend me with his line, And partly that I did his sire some wrong...
Sivu 129 - Majesty in that place, with so small an attendance, and that he thought his Majesty exposed himself to some danger. 'No kind of danger, James,' was the reply: 'for I am sure no man in England will take away my life to make you King.
Sivu 267 - The more carefully we examine the history of the past, the more reason shall we find to dissent from those who imagine that our age has been fruitful of new social evils.

Sivu 139 - Went to Lady Blessington's in the evening. "Everybody goes to Lady Blessington's. She has the first news of everything, and everybody seems delighted to tell her. No woman will be more missed. She is the centre of more talent and gaiety than any other woman of fashion in London.

Sivu 27 - I found it to be false, obliged me (as I then foolishly thought) to go on with the quarrel; and the next day was appointed for us to fight on horseback, a way in England a little unusual, but it was his part to chuse.
Sivu 25 - The road between this place [Kensington] and London is grown so infamously bad, that we live here in the same solitude as we should do if cast on a rock in the middle of the ocean, and all the Londoners tell us there is between them and us a great impassable gulf of mud. There are two roads through the park, but the new one is so convex and the old one so concave, that by this extreme of faults they agree in the common one of being, like the high road, impassable.
