Sivu 351 - Th' adventure of the Bear and Fiddle Is sung, but breaks off in the middle.* "HEN civil dudgeon first grew high, And men fell out they knew not why ; When hard words, jealousies, and fears, Set folks together by the ears, And made them fight, like mad or drunk...
Sivu 509 - Moneths travells in France, Savoy, Italy, Rhetia, commonly called the Grisons country, Helvetia, alias Switzerland, some parts of high Germany, and the Netherlands ; Newly digested in the hungry aire of Odcombe in the County of Somerset, and now dispersed to the nourishment of the travelling Members of this Kingdome &c.
Sivu 527 - A book and a box, or rather two books and a box, and yet after all not a box at all, but a book and only one book.

Sivu 504 - Wilkes, esq. herewith sent you, for being the author and publisher of a most infamous and seditious libel, intitled, The North Briton, No. 45, tending to inflame the minds and alienate the affections of the people from his majesty, and to excite them to traitorous insurrections against the government...
Sivu 93 - In this situation, one of jthose booksellers who disgrace the profession, offered him a temporary relief for writing- the work above alluded to, which brought a stigma" on his name, which time has not obliterated, and which will be consigned to his memory whilst its poisonous contents are in circulation.

Sivu 329 - The Annals of Gallantry, Glee Pleasure, and the Bon Ton ; calculated for the entertainment of The Polite World; and to furnish The Man of Pleasure with a most delicious banquet of Amorous, Bacchanalian, Whimsical, Humorous, Theatrical and Polite Entertainment.
Sivu 464 - The whole subject of embracing is of such a nature that men who ask questions about it, or who hear about it, or who talk about it, acquire thereby a desire for enjoyment. Even those embraces that are not mentioned in the Kama Shastra should be practised at the time of sexual enjoyment, if they are in any way conducive to the increase of love or passion. The rules of the Shastra apply so long as the passion of man is middling, but when the wheel of love is once set in motion, there is then no Shastra...
Sivu 61 - Pleasants of Rome, and which now, with all the narrow vale that intersects them, stood displayed and exposed to his attack ; nor could I without a shudder behold the dispositions he made for it. First, then, moistening well with spittle his instrument, obviously to...
Sivu xxiii - ... comme on le dit, que le nombre en soit si grand que l'on marche dessus ; cela n'a lieu que pendant le temps de carnaval, où l'on trouve sous les arcades des Procuraties autant de femmes couchées que debout ; hors de là, leur nombre ne s'étend pas à plus du double de ce qu'il y en a à Paris ; mais aussi elles sont fort employées. Tous les jours régulièrement, à vingtquatre ou vingt-quatre heures et demie au plus tard, toutes sont occupées.
Sivu 280 - And know'st thou not, no law is made for love? Law is to things which to free choice relate; Love is not in our choice, but in our fate; Laws are but positive; love's power, we see, Is Nature's sanction, and her first decree.
