Стр. 345 - With Stupidity and sound digestion man may front much. But what, in these dull unimaginative days are the terrors of Conscience to the diseases of the Liver!

Стр. 382 - I will allow a thing to struggle for itself in this world, with any sword or tongue or implement it has, or can lay hold of.
