Сторінка 295 - If we were to form an image of dignity in a man, we should give him wisdom and valour, as being essential to the character of manhood. In like manner, if you describe a right woman in a laudable sense, she should have gentle softness, Under fear, and all those parts of life which distinguish her from the other sex; with some subordination to it, but such an inferiority that makes her still more lovely.

Сторінка 3 - ... as to mix with the assemblies of knaves and blockheads, nor yet of an opinion that he ought to retire from mankind to seek God in the horror of solitude : on the contrary, he must think that the Almighty is to be found amongst men, where his goodness is most active, and his providence most employed. There it is that religion must enlighten, and reason regulate his conduct, both in the cares of salvation, and the duties of life.

Сторінка 140 - ... becomes, if properly considered, a beauty in the drama, and adds a fresh stroke of truth to the portrait of the lover.
