The houfe I now live in, in Philadelphia, I am told, has always had the character of being both cold and fmoky ; and I was convinced, as foon as I faw the rooms and examined the chimneys, that it deferved that character ; for though the rooms were clofe, the chimneys were large : And we...
Seite 158 - I know too well what is due to my own dignity to enter into a compromise with an extortionable assassin of private reputation. If I before abhorred you for your slander, I now despise you for your concessions ; it is a proof of the illiberality of your satire, when you can publish or suppress it as best suits the needy convenience of your purse. You first had the cowardly baseness...
