Seite 74 - By comparing my work afterwards with the original, I discovered many faults and amended them; but I sometimes had the pleasure of fancying that, in certain particulars of small import, I had been lucky enough to improve the method or the language, and this encouraged me to think I might possibly in time come to be a tolerable English writer, of which I was extremely ambitious.
Seite 274 - of the reasoner's intellect with that of his opponent, depends, if I understand you aright, upon the accuracy with which the opponent's intellect is admeasured.
Seite 269 - " We did." "Then," I said, " you have been making a miscalculation, and the letter is not on the premises, as you suppose." " I fear you are right there," said the Prefect. " And now, Dupin, what would you advise me to do ? " " To make a thorough re-search of the premises.
