Сторінка 68 - Our own felicity we make or find : With secret course, which no loud storms annoy, Glides the smooth current of domestic joy. The lifted axe, the agonizing wheel, Luke's iron crown, and Damien's bed of steel, To men remote from power but rarely known, Leave reason, faith, and conscience, all our own.

Сторінка 73 - Perceiving the legs hanging out, they beat them with the bamboo fur some time, in order to break the ligatures which fastened them at the knees, (for they would not have come near to touch them for the world).

For it must be vested in somebody, otherwise the laws of nature would be vain and fruitless, if none were empowered to put them in execution ; and if that power is vested in any one, it must also be vested in all mankind, since all are by nature equal.

Сторінка 73 - ... need not say, made me thrill with horror; especially when I recollected that this hapless victim of superstition was alive but a few minutes before. To have seen savage wolves thus tearing a human, body limb from limb, would have been shocking ; but to see relations and neighbours do this to one with whom they had familiarly conversed not an hour before, and to do it with an air of levity, was almost too much for me to bear!
Сторінка 357 - If I may presume to speak my own sentiments, I once believed this doctrine of ideas so firmly as to embrace the whole of Berkeley's system in consequence of it; till, finding other consequences to follow from it, which gave me more uneasiness than the want of a material world, it came into my mind, more than forty years ago, to put the question, What evidence have I for this doctrine, that all the objects of my knowledge are ideas in my own mind?
