Сторінка 189 - Shakspeare, that none of them, as far as we know, have ever thought of availing themselves of his sonnets for tracing the circumstances of his life.

Сторінка 291 - I'll take good care it shall never get in again ;' and I may well say the same of this parchment usurper who has taken possession of my stomach. How he got there is the wonder, for years have elapsed since I swallowed glue — I mean jelly or mockturtle.
Сторінка 88 - The gardens of the Mandarins in the city of Ning-po are very pretty and unique ; they contain a choice selection of the ornamental trees and shrubs of China, and generally a considerable number of dwarf trees.
