And though it were even granted,...

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.
