Page 203 - Here will I hold. If there's a Power above us, — And that there is, all Nature cries aloud Through all her works, — He must delight in virtue; And that which He delights in must be happy.
Page 232 - So powerful is the current of the poet's imagination that the mind which once ventures within it is hurried irresistibly along. On the seeming improbability of Lear's conduct it may be observed that he is represented according to histories at that time vulgarly received as true.

Page 481 - They occupy little huts, raifed among the ruins of the monaftery ; and feem to have no employment, but begging : as if a place, once devoted to indolence, could never again become the feat of induftry.
Page 88 - In fine, the tribute you demand from the Hindoos is repugnant to justice ; it is equally foreign from good policy, as it must impoverish the country : moreover, it is an innovation and an infringement of the laws of Hindostan.
