Seite 102 - That the influence of the Crown has increased, is increasing, and ought to be diminished?
Seite 314 - He was prone to superstition, but not to credulity. Though his imagination might incline him to a belief of the marvellous and the mysterious, his vigorous reason examined the evidence with jealousy.
Seite 52 - There must, in the first place, be knowledge, there must be materials ;—in the second place, there must be a command of words ;— in the third place, there must be imagination, to place things in such views as they are not commonly seen in ;—and in the fourth place, there must be presence of mind, and a resolution that it is not to be overcome by failures : this last is an essential requisite ; for want of it, many people do not excel in conversation.
