Сторінка 26 - Cheshire connections, and through the long residence of my brother, introduced to a great many people, and this has, of course, produced very numerous parties ; but, I assure you, I shall preserve my character for sobriety : no man is obliged to drink more than he pleases, nor have I seen any of that spirit of playing tricks on freshmen, which we are told were usual forty or fifty years ago at the universities — Vale; si possis, veni.
Сторінка 393 - He thought that the strictness which made no distinction between things blamable only in their abuse and the practices which were really immoral, was prejudicial to the interests of true religion ; and on this point his opinion remained unchanged to the last. His own life, indeed, was a proof that amusements so participated in may be perfectly harmless, and no way interfere with any religious or moral duty.
