Стр. 101 - ... by way of novels, secret histories, dialogues, or under some such title ; and thereupon we shall be told ; What ! will you allow an infamous libel to be printed and dispersed, only because it does not bear the title of a play ? Thus, my lords, from the precedent now before us, we shall be induced, nay we can find no reason for refusing to lay the press under a general license, and then we may bid adieu to the liberties of Great Britain.
Стр. 171 - Convention. This Convention, sir, I think from my soul, is nothing but a stipulation for national ignominy ; an illusory expedient to baffle the resentment of the nation ; a truce, without a suspension of hostilities, on the part of Spain...
Стр. 40 - ... he had a father that abhorred him, a mother that despised him, sisters that betrayed him, a brother set up against him, and a set of servants that neglected him, and were neither of use nor capable of being of use to him, nor desirous of being so.
