Let any man try to conceive a triangle in general, which is neither...
Сторінка 66 - Numquam volui populo placeré; nam quae ego scio non probat populus, quae probat populus ego nescio.
Сторінка ix - ... de M. l'abbé Dubos. Rien ne recule plus le progrès des connaissances qu'un mauvais ouvrage d'un auteur célèbre, parce qu'avant d'instruire il faut commencer par détromper (1).
Сторінка 264 - Hyacinthus37), comoediae ad aemulationem Anglicorum histrionum juvenili ansu factae, e quibus posterior, quae mihi reliqua est, pro aetate non displicet. Secuta sunt Veneris detestatio et Lachryuiae tribus dialogis satis prolixis, ob infelicem, de quo postea, casum meum expressae, quae invito me perierunt. Superfuerunt e contra Nuptiae Chymicae, cum monstrorum foecundo foetu, ludibrium, quod mireris a nonnullis aestimatum et subtili indagine explicatum, plane futile et...
