Стр. 171 - ... of one opinion, and making that opinion a truism which is accepted by all enlightened men, even though they have not themselves examined the evidence on which it rests. Thus, if any one in a company of ordinarily educated persons were to deny the motion of the earth, or the circulation of the blood, his statement would be received with derision, though it is probable that some of his audience would be unable to demonstrate the first truth, and that very few of them could give sufficient reasons...

I trust there are at least twenty or thirty in the University equally able and willing to undertake the office; possessed, many, of talents superior to mine, and all of a more complying conscience. This I speak upon the supposition that the next Greek Professor will be compelled to read lectures : but if the place remains a sinecure, the number of qualified persons will be greatly increased. And though it were even granted,...
Стр. 153 - The next had all the cunning of a Scot ; The third invention, genius — nay, what not ? Fraud, now exhausted, only could dispense To her fourth son their threefold impudence.
Стр. 373 - I am quite satisfied if, three hundred years hence, it shall be said that one Porson lived towards the close of the eighteenth century, who did a good deal for the text of Euripides.
Стр. 102 - SIR, — When I first received the favour of your letter, I must own that I felt rather vexation and chagrin than hope and satisfaction.
