Стр. 237 - Wanderer, the man of exalted sentiments, extensive views, and curious observations ; the man whose remarks on life might have assisted the statesman, whose ideas of virtue might have enlightened the moralist, whose eloquence might have influenced senates, and whose delicacy might have polished courts.
Стр. 405 - Sir, what I felt, and still feel on this occasion, and spare me the trouble of describing it. At my age, under my infirmities, among utter strangers, how shall I find out proper reliefs and supports? I can have none, but those with which Reason and Religion furnish me, and those I lay hold on, and grasp as fast as I can.
Стр. 239 - Let others creep by timid steps, and slow, On plain experience lay foundations low, By common sense to common knowledge bred, And last, to Nature's cause through Nature led.

You may now look upon me, Sir Philip Wharton, Knight of the Garter, and Sir Robert Walpole, Knight of the Bath, running a course, and, by Heaven, he shall be hard pressed!
Стр. 389 - HEART, — I have so much to say to you, that I can hardly say anything to you till I see you. My heart is full ; but it is in vain to begin upon paper what I can never end. I have a thousand desires to see you, which are checked by a thousand fears lest any ill accident should happen to you in the journey. God preserve you in every step of it, and send you safe hither ! And I will endeavour, by his blessing and assistance, to send you well back again, and to accompany you in the journey, as far...
Стр. 291 - I find many are of my sentiment with regard to the Dunciad, and think the writer has engaged himself in a very improper and troublesome scuffle, not worthy of his pen at all, which was designed for greater purposes.
Стр. 280 - Dr. John Freind is a very assiduous Courtier, and must grow so more and more every day, since his quondam friends and acquaintances shun and despise him ; and, whenever he happens to fall in the way of them, he looks, methinks, very sillily.
